2000, the 160th Tank Regiment is preparing for withdrawalfrom the combat zone to the place of permanent deployment. In the months of behavior in Chechnya, this unit showed how to fight, not by number, but by skill. For the entire time of the business trip, the regiment lost one soldier, inflicting significant losses on the gangs.
Among the successes in eliminating the outbreaks of armedResistance particularly highlighted the cases when the commander himself entered the rebel villages and through peace negotiations urged to cease fire. In cases where such attempts did not lead to success, the military task was solved at the cost of minimal casualties among the population, and targeted targets were hit.
This commander was Budanov, the hero of Russia, notawarded, however, a golden star. The fact that he would return living sons to parents was a more significant reward for him. But in the last days before returning, something unexpected happened.
At a height adjacent to the location of the regiment,a sniper appeared. In five days, this unknown shooter killed twelve people. The agents from the local population reported that the fire was being led by Elsa Kungayeva. A precise shot was fired at the house in Tangi-Chu, where she lived, after which they took the Chechen prisoner. During the interrogation, the colonel, after listening to several arrogant provocative replicas of the detainee, just strangled her, apparently by chance, not coping with emotions.
As is known, there was no war in Chechnya.There was a counter-terrorist operation, something like a police raid. As in Korea in the years 1950-53. Consequently, what Budanov, the hero of Russia, committed was qualified as a criminal offense. Apparently, he should have called a police squad, and let them understand. Protocols, fingerprints and all that stuff ... By the way, the fire on the positions of the regiment immediately stopped. This indirectly confirms the correctness of the colonel.
The case received wide publicity.Relatives of the murdered woman with a mournful appearance showed her photographs, apparently appealing to the sympathy of the public. Condolences were (killed "innocent girl" was already after she had shot), but it's not in them. The law is the law, Colonel Budanov, the hero of Russia, was convicted under articles of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation 105, 126 and 286 for 10 years with a sentence being served in a strict regime colony. He was also demoted and rewarded. The investigation proved that there was no rape on which the prosecution insisted.
Three years later, in 2004, the convict filedpetition for clemency, which was granted in 2008. Governor Shamanov took into account his services to his homeland and the heavy contusion he had suffered. However, in all likelihood, this decision was not approved by all citizens. There were shouts of indignation and threat from Chechnya.
Yuri Budanov, the hero of Russia, was killed among the whiteday in the center of Moscow shots from a passing car June 10, 2011. The crime was well prepared, the traces were carefully spotted, the firing points were chosen so that the image of the shooter did not fall into the lens of the surveillance cameras. Used converted weapon, almost not identifiable.
Юрий Буданов, герой России, похоронен на кладбище in Khimki. To spend the last journey, except for relatives and friends, came his comrades, of whom there were many. They had something to remember. During his military service, the deceased officer saved hundreds of lives, he was the father of his soldiers and the shore of each of them.
Law enforcement agencies of the Russian Federationhave the opportunity to show their ability to stand guard over people's lives, justice and the law. For this you just need to find the killers. In this case, the crime occurred in peacetime and in a peaceful city, the capital of our country. Nothing should interfere with justice.
It is possible to determine in such conditions those whoBudanov, the hero of Russia, was killed; it is more difficult than investigating the circumstances of the death of a Chechen sniper girl during hostilities, but this needs to be done. Otherwise, our fellow citizens may have their own opinion about our police, and it will not be very good.
