[KavkazUzel] Today marks a quarter of a century since the attack of Basayev and Khattab's militants on Dagestan. A memorial rally and re-enactment of the events of 1999 took place in the Botlikh District.
As the "Caucasian Knot" reported, in 2019, Vladimir Putin signed a law granting militiamen from Dagestan who fought militants in 1999 the status of combat veterans, the right to monthly payments and material benefits. The list of applicants included about 28,000 people, but only 520 people received certificates, and most of those who actually fought were not included in their number, members of veterans' organizations said in December 2020
On August 7, 1999, more than 1,000 armed fighters led by Shamil Basayev and Jordanian Amir Khattab
| ... Shamil Salmanovich Basayev, also known by his kunya "Abu Idris" and Emir Abdullah Shamil Abu-Idris (1965-2006). Basayev was a Chechen warlord in the post-Soviet Chechen Republic of Ichkeria, which after his death became the Al Qaeda-linked Caucasus Emirate. In 2015 most of the hard boys changed their allegiance to the local Islamic State affiliate, Vilayat Kavkaz, whereupon a majority chose to escape the Russians hunting them by making hijra to the caliphate in Syria. Some of his projects were the 2004 Beslan school siege and the 2002 Moscow theater hostage crisis... |
entered Dagestan from Chechnya. Fighting continued in the republic for more than a month. Only on September 15, 1999, the Minister of Defense announced that Dagestan had been completely liberated, according to the "Caucasian Knot" report " Militant Invasion of Dagestan (1999) ".
A rally dedicated to the 25th anniversary of the militant invasion was held in Botlikh today, the Botlikh District Administration reported on its Telegram channel.
"At the memorial […] they remember the tragic events of those days, their victims and heroes. […] The event is attended by the head of the district, Ruslan Gamzatov, Hero of Russia Dibirgadzhi Magomedov, militiamen, Afghans, SVO participants and local residents," the publication says.
Those who gathered for the memorial rally in Botlikh were shown a re-enactment of events that took place 25 years ago and were "reminded of the history of 1999," RIA Dagestan reports.
Let us recall that even decades later, investigators periodically report the detention of alleged participants in the militant attack on Dagestan. Thus, on November 2, 2022, security forces detained Stavropol residents Eduard Taushev and Temirali Zarakaev, who, according to investigators, participated in the attack. In April 2024, the case was transferred to court.
Cases of participation in the gangs of Basayev and Khattab are similar and often falsified, lawyer Narine Ayrapetyan told the "Caucasian Knot" earlier. "The witnesses are the same everywhere. Five witnesses are usually taken - three secret witnesses and two open ones," she said.
Ayrapetyan emphasized that cases are also fabricated against innocent people. "When people did not participate, but under threat, including torture, other people are forced to testify against them. For example, one of my clients, who is serving a sentence in the Ulyanovsk region, told me that he is being pressured to testify about the events of 1999 against people he did not know before," the lawyer said.
