Chechnya mass execution in the village of New Aldy. The tragedy of the Chechen village of Aldy is ten years old. The perpetrators have not been punished. Events in Novy Aldy through the eyes of an eyewitness

On July 26, the European Court of Human Rights considered the case “Musaev and others v. Russia” - about the mass execution of civilians in the village of Novye Aldy. The applicants' claims were supported by lawyers from the Memorial human rights center (Moscow) and the European Human Rights Center (EHRAC, London).

All five applicants are relatives of those killed. On February 5, 2000, Yusup Musaev witnessed the murder of nine people, seven of whom were his relatives. Suleiman Magomadov lived in Ingushetia during the events and, having learned about the “cleansing”, came to Novye Aldy to bury the remains of his two brothers, who were burned on February 5, possibly alive. Tamara Magomadova was the wife of one of the murdered Magomadov brothers. Malika Labazanova, in the courtyard of her own house, witnessed the murder of three of her relatives by the feds: a 60-year-old woman, a 70-year-old old man and a 47-year-old disabled man. All of them were shot because they could not collect the amount demanded by the killers as a ransom for their lives. Khasan Abdulmezhidov, Labazanova’s husband, escaped execution due to the fact that he was in the neighbors’ house at the time.

The Russian government presented its arguments to Strasbourg. It did not deny that on that day in Novy Aldy the St. Petersburg riot police carried out a “special operation,” but clarified that the participation of riot police in the murders had not been proven by the investigation. Yes, it turns out that there was a consequence - on March 5, 2000, the prosecutor's office of the Chechen Republic opened a criminal case into the mass death of people. The investigation led nowhere. The prosecutor's office was unable to identify the names of the killers from the army and riot police. The European Court has repeatedly asked for copies of the investigation materials. The Russian government invariably refused him this, citing secrecy.

But as another argument, the government argued that not all domestic remedies had been exhausted in this case. Obviously, 7 years is too short a period for Russian justice to establish the truth and punish criminals.

On July 26, the court in Strasbourg unanimously rejected this argument of the Russian government. The court accepted that responsibility for the unlawful killings of the applicants' relatives lies with the Russian authorities. The court also found the investigation of the massacre by Russian justice ineffective.

According to the court decision, Russia must pay compensation for moral damage to the applicants: Yusup Musayev - 35 thousand euros, Suleiman Magomadov - 30 thousand euros, Tamara Magomadova - 40 thousand euros, Malika Labazanova and Khasan Abdulmezhidov - 40 thousand euros. In addition, the government will pay Tamara Magomadova 8 thousand euros for material damage suffered, and will also pay the applicants' legal costs and expenses in the amount of 14,050 euros and 4,580 pounds sterling.

The 170 thousand euros that Russia will pay for a lost case is nothing for the Russian state, especially since the money will be paid from the state budget, and not from the pockets of those specific officials and judges who are responsible for the ineffectiveness of justice. 170 thousand euros is nothing for the relatives of the victims, because with what money can one value the life of loved ones?

The decision of the European Court is not a triumph of justice, but only an indication to the Russian authorities of the ineffectiveness of the national judicial system and an indirect accusation of bias in the investigation and the court.

The triumph of justice would take place if the killers of 56 civilians in the village of Novye Aldy were brought before a criminal court and received punishment commensurate with what they did in the suburbs of Grozny on February 5, 2000.

Special reports by Anna Politkovskaya

What became the subject of discussion in Strasbourg last week was known for a long time: in detail, with the designation of departments and units whose military personnel committed this monstrous crime in New Aldy. Novaya POLITKOVSKAYA columnist collected testimonies from survivors and published them at the same time - in February 2000. And then she continued the investigation, talking about how the investigation was inactive and who exactly was slowing down the investigation: no one wanted to look for the bastards who killed at point-blank range and burned alive women and old people. Even now, 7 years later, eyewitness testimonies are unbearable to read - and we did not dare print them in the newspaper, we posted them on our website. And the reaction of the authorities then was usual: Politkovskaya was accused of falsifying facts, whipping up passions and protecting “bandits.” Now the European Court of Human Rights has put everything in its place. Only murderers are at large, with shoulder straps and decorations, and there are no prerequisites that they are going to be brought to justice.

These are inhuman stories. They say that for reliability they must be divided by some number (10, 100, 200?). But no matter how much you do it, it will still turn out terrible.

<…>Reseda begins to draw a diagram of their street in Aldy and how the punitive forces moved. “Here is our house,” says Rezeda, “and here is Sultan Temirov, a retired neighbor. While still alive, the contract soldiers cut off his head and took him with them. And... the body was thrown to the dogs... Later, when the feds went to other houses, the neighbors took one left leg and groin from the feral dogs - and buried them...”

Witnesses believe that more than a hundred people died during the cleansing in Aldy - there is no more precise data yet. Those who remained on the streets of Voronezhskaya and named after Matashi Mazaev suffered especially.<…>This selection happened by chance: it’s just that the street named after Mazaev is the first one when you enter Aldy.

Reseda continues the imaginary walk home: “They passed us.<…>Next is the Khaidarovs' house. There they shot father and son - Gula and Vakha. The old man is over 80. Behind them lived the middle-aged Avalu Sugaipov; refugees stayed with him<…>two men, a woman and a 5-year-old girl. All the adults were burned with a flamethrower, including the mother, in front of her daughter. Before the execution, the soldiers gave the little one a can of condensed milk and said: “Go for a walk.” The girl must have gone crazy. The Musayevs lived at 120 Voronezhskaya Street. Of these, old Yakub, his son Umar and nephews Yusup, Abdrakhman and Suleiman were shot.<…>

The elder sister Larisa continues. She says things that are inaccessible to the fantasies of a mentally healthy person. About the fact that the trees on their street are now “decorated” with shapeless bloody spots - because they were brought to them for execution. “But the trunks cannot be washed! That’s why I, for example, will never be able to return there.”<…>.

<…>Malika Labazanova is a baker from the village of Novye Aldy on the outskirts of Grozny. She has been baking bread all her life.<…>Malika had only one break in her work - but it divided her life into two halves: BEFORE February 5 and AFTER February 5.<…>

Starting from February 6, Malika herself put the corpses in the basement. She herself protected them from hungry dogs and crows. She buried herself. And then I washed the basement tiles...

<…>For several weeks, families did not bury “their” corpses, contrary to all traditions - they waited for prosecutors to carry out the necessary investigative actions as required. Then, without waiting, they buried him. Later they began to wait for death certificates - few received them. However, soon the employee of the Grozny prosecutor’s office who issued documents indicating the cause of death* (stab wounds, gunshot and bullet wounds) was suddenly urgently transferred to another place of work, and everyone with “his” certificates was called to the administration of the Zavodsky district and ordered to hand over in order to receive in exchange “a new type of death certificate” (as they explained to people), in which there was no “cause of death” column at all...

<…>There are no results of the investigation. Over the past ten months, witnesses have not been questioned. No one dared to draw up sketches of the criminals, although some of the killers did not hide their faces.

It is now quite obvious that the Prosecutor General’s Office is successfully putting the brakes on the case regarding the tragedy. She officially responds to interested Novoaldin residents with unsubscribes: they say, under control<…>. To everyone who is interested - but not to the residents of Novoaldin - prosecutors lie without hesitation that the Chechens, true to their customs, simply do not allow the bodies of the dead to be exhumed and therefore the investigation does not have the physical ability to move forward...<…>.

However, it turned out: the residents of Novo-Aldin, no matter how hard it was for them, ASK, PLEAD, DEMAND to carry out all the necessary exhumation measures, insisting that the main material evidence - the bullets - be finally removed from the bodies.<…>But the answer to all these insistent demands was a mocking infamy: a team of military forensic experts arrived in the village to give people papers prepared in advance to sign... That relatives were refusing exhumations.<…>

Ordinary employees of the State Police, who were somehow involved at different times in the investigation of the Novoaldinsk tragedy, agree to “talk” only with guarantees of complete and eternal anonymity.<…>If the Novo Alda nightmare is allowed to unfold before specific epaulets are charged, the Prosecutor General's Office believes that other similar cases will certainly follow Novo Alda. The same Prosecutor General's employees also spoke about their own personal intimidation: they are allegedly also threatened by gentlemen officers<…>.

Anna Politkovskaya, Novaya columnist

* The investigator for particularly important cases of the Main Directorate of the General Prosecutor's Office of the Russian Federation in the North Caucasus, T. Murdalov, gave people a document with the following content: “On February 5, 2000, in the morning in the village of Novye Aldy, Zavodsky district of the city of Grozny, Chechen Republic, by employees of units of the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation During the verification of the passport regime, a mass murder of civilians of the specified village was committed, including the murder of... (the name of the deceased followed. - A.P.). “The Main Directorate of the Prosecutor General’s Office in the North Caucasus is conducting an investigation into this fact.” The investigator managed to write out 33 similar documents.

The village of Novye Aldy is located on the southern outskirts of Grozny. Before the war, about 10 thousand people lived here. The village had a library and a clinic. One and a half thousand children studied at the local school. The village arose in the late 50s, when people returning after deportation received plots of land here - five acres per family. On this land they built houses for themselves and their children, for a future happy life.

Someday historians will write detailed studies about the recent war in Chechnya. What happened in the village of Novye Aldy on February 5, 2000 is told by eyewitnesses whose testimonies were collected by the Memorial Human Rights Center.

Aset Chadayeva:

“I lived in the village of Novye Aldy from the fall of 1999 to February 2000. Until February 3, people here were killed by bombs and died from shrapnel wounds. The “work” of Russian aviation led chronically ill and elderly people to heart attacks and strokes. People died from pneumonia - they sat in damp basements for months. In just two months, until February 5, we buried 75 people.

On February 5, at about 12 noon, I heard the first shots on the street. My father and I went out and saw soldiers setting houses on fire. Our neighbor was repairing the roof, and I heard the soldier say: “Look, Dim, the fool is fixing the roof,” and he responded: “Take him off.” The soldier raised his machine gun and wanted to shoot. I shouted: “Don’t shoot! He's deaf! The soldier turned and fired a burst over our heads.

Then my brother, born in 1975, followed us, and we went to meet these fascists. The first thing they shouted was: “Mark them, Gray, with green on their foreheads, so that it will be more convenient to shoot.” They immediately pointed a machine gun at my brother and asked: “Did you take part in the battles?” The brother replied that he had not, so they began to beat him.

In case they raped me, I tied a grenade to me in advance - it could be exchanged for four packs of Prima cigarettes.

We were ordered to gather at the crossroads. I gathered people from our street so that we could all be together. In our small alley alone, there were ten children under 15 years old, the youngest was only 2 years old. The soldiers again began checking passports, one said: “We will evict you. They gave you a corridor, you bastards!?” All this was accompanied by obscene language.

As soon as I moved away from the intersection, shots rang out again. The women shouted: “Asya, Ruslan is wounded, bandage him!” Ruslan Elsaev, 40 years old, after the check, stood near his house, smoking. Two soldiers shot at him for no reason, one bullet went right through his lung, two centimeters from his heart, the other hit his arm...

My brother and I went outside again and again heard wild screams: neighbor Rumisa was leading a girl. It was nine-year-old Leila, the daughter of a refugee from the village of Dzhalka. Leila fell in hysterics, rolled on the ground, laughed and screamed in Chechen and Russian: “They killed my mother!” My brother picked her up and carried her to our home. I ran into the [neighbors’] yard - Leila’s mother was lying there in a pool of blood, which was still steaming in the cold. I wanted to lift her, but she was falling apart, a piece of her skull was falling off - probably a burst from a light machine gun cut her... Nearby in the yard, two men were lying, both had huge holes in their heads, apparently they were shot at point-blank range. The house was already on fire, the back rooms, and in the first room the murdered Avalu was burning. Apparently some kind of flammable liquid was poured on him and set on fire. I dragged a forty-liter flask of water, I don’t know how I lifted it, and poured the water out. To be honest, I didn’t want to see Avalu’s body; it would be better if it remained alive in my memory - he was an exceptionally kind person. Neighbors came running and also began to put out the fire. Twelve-year-old Magomed walked around the yard, repeating: “Why did they do this?!” The smell of blood was simply unbearable...

I ran back along the main street, they could shoot there at any minute, I had to move through courtyards. I saw Magomed Gaitaev - he was disabled, he had an accident in his youth, he had no nose, he wore special glasses. He’s lying there, he’s been shot in the head and chest, and these glasses are hanging on the fence.

Russian soldiers finished off my sick, wounded civilians, old people and women.

Lema Akhtaev and Isa Akhmatova were burned. We then found the bones and collected them in a saucepan. And any commission, any examination can prove that these are human bones. But no one cares about these bones, about these dead.

Shamkhan Baigiraev was also burned and taken from his home. The Idigov brothers were forced to go down to the basement and bombarded with grenades - one survived, the other was torn to pieces. I saw Gulu Khaidaev, an old man who was killed. He was lying on the street in a pool of blood. The soldiers killed eighty-year-old Akhmatova Rakyat - first they wounded her, then they finished her off while she was lying down. She shouted: “Don’t shoot!”...

Marina Ismailova:

On February 5, in the morning, gunfire from machine guns, machine guns and grenade launchers began to be heard in the village... They killed and burned people without asking for documents. Those killed and burned had passports and other documents in their pockets or hands. The main demands were gold and money, then they only shot...

On Matasha Mazaev Street, in house No. 158, there remained two brothers of retirement age, the Magomadovs - Abdula and Salman. They were burned alive in their home. Only a few days later, after enormous efforts, we found their remains. They fit in a plastic bag...

Luiza Abulkhanova:

Everything happened very quickly. When the shots rang out, I felt bad. I only clearly remember that those who entered our yard first demanded money. The old man [Akhmed Abulkhanov] went somewhere and brought 300 rubles. The soldiers were unhappy and cursed... Then shots rang out. Together with my father-in-law, the Abdulmezhidovs’ brother and sister, our neighbors, died. Isa Akhmatova was found in the Tsanaevs’ house only a few days after the incident. He was apparently burned alive...

I don't know when or how this war will end. How many more victims will be sacrificed on the altar of Putin’s presidency. I only know that after all these horrors I will not be able to treat the Russians with respect. It is unlikely that we will get along in one state.

"Ruslan"(name changed at his request):

On the morning of February 5, I was repairing the roof and saw a house at the beginning of the village catch fire. A second and third flashed behind him, shots began, and people screamed. The feds were in headscarves and of mature age. They herded everyone to the intersection of Kamskaya Street and 4th Almazny Lane.

We started walking from the first street and went into the house of the Idigov brothers. The two brothers were driven into the basement and two grenades were thrown there. One remained alive because the second covered him with himself. Three people were shot in a neighboring house: one old man, 68 years old, and two young guys. They were not asked for documents. They shot strictly in the head.

Houses were burned. People heard shouts: “Where is the money!?” The Magomadov brothers were thrown into the basement, shot and set on fire. The fire spread to other houses...

The corpses that I buried were of different ages, from young to very old, but there were many that could not be identified.

Malika Labazanova:

... And then they started shooting. At the same time they shouted that they had orders to kill everyone. I ran to the neighbors, knocked on the gate - no one opened. Only Deniev Alu answered the knock and brought me three pieces of paper for a hundred rubles each. I carry this money, approach my gate and see: my cat is walking, her insides have fallen out. She walks and stops, walks and stops, and then dies. My legs began to give way, I thought that everyone in our yard had been killed...

When I handed this guy in a white camouflage coat 300 rubles, he just laughed. “Is this money? “You all have money and gold,” he said. “Your teeth are also gold.” Out of fright, I took off my earrings (my mother bought them for me for my sixteenth birthday), I give them away and ask them not to kill. And he shouts that everyone has been ordered to kill, calls the soldier and tells him: “Take her into the house and shake her there.”

In the house, I immediately rushed to the boiler room, there behind the stove and hid. It was the only thing I could do in that situation. And the one who accompanied me went back. He was looking for me. Not finding it, he returned to the house again. And then shooting started in the yard. I rushed to the soldier and began to ask and beg him not to kill me. “I won’t kill you, they will kill me,” he said. And such fear gripped me that the bombings and shelling - everything that happened before that day, I was ready to relive everything again, if only he, this soldier, would take the machine gun pointed at me.

He started shooting: at the ceiling, at the walls, and shot through the gas stove. And then I realized that he would not shoot me. I grabbed his legs and thanked him for not killing him. And he: “Be quiet, you’re already dead.”

Yusup Musaev:

Soldiers jumped into the yard and laid us face down on the ground. They swore obscenely: “Bitches, lie down, you brute!” Musayev’s cousin Khasan had a machine gun put to his ear, Andi Akhmadov was also lying there, he was held at gunpoint. Next lay the boy and I, they put a machine gun between my shoulder blades...

Then the soldiers moved further through the courtyards, shots were heard. I thought about the brothers, went to look outside and immediately found them... And four more people - Ganaev Alvi, his two sons - Sulumbek and Aslanbek, the fourth - Khakimov. When we started dragging the corpses into the yard, the military started shooting from the corner... In the evening, my cousin came and said that he had found nine more corpses. Among them are two of my nephews.

Testimony of a woman who asked not to be named:

I ran to Matasha Mazaev Street and saw people lying there, shot. Only military men stood on the street. I ran back, and they shouted to me: “Stop!” I ran and they shot at me.

When I returned to my place, one soldier sat down and said: “How can I save you? I don't want you to be killed. You look like my mother." He called his guys and they sat with us...

At night we brought the corpses into the houses. I saw 28 corpses - all our neighbors. I washed the corpses. Mostly they shot in the head - in the eyes, in the mouth. Gadaeva had a bullet wound to the back of her head.

Markha Tataeva:

On February 5, we were sitting with our neighbor Anyuta. She looked outside. I ask: “What is there?” She said: “They shoot people there,” and began to cry.

I go out, and our neighbor Abdurakhman Musayev is standing there and shouting: “Well, bitch, why are you standing there - shoot!” The soldiers laugh, Musaev shouts: “Bitch, shoot, come on! Well, why are you standing there, creature, shoot!” He, it turns out, came across his grandson, who was lying there, shot.

These were contract soldiers. One had a tattoo and a fox tail on the back of his hat. He stood and laughed, then he saw me and fired a machine gun straight at me! Anyuta grabbed me and pushed me into the house, and he didn’t hit us. We ran through the courtyards to Anyuta’s house and sat there for two hours. Then I decided to go home, although she asked me not to leave.

I went into the house, and about five minutes later my dog ​​was flying, barking with all his might. Everyone, let's go. I read the prayer. Then she put on overalls to look more pitiful. I open the door, just turn around, he’s looking at me with a machine gun: “Come on, you creature, bitch, come here!” I come up, I want to show the documents - in general, I’m not at a loss. And he’s looking for a reason to make me confused: “Oh, you’re a sniper, you helped the militants, why did you stay at home? Why didn’t you leave, what were you doing here? Where are your parents, in the house, right?” I say: “No, they left.” - “Where did you go? What do you have?” I say: “Documents.” And he: “I don’t need your fucking documents!” - takes them and throws them. I had 35 rubles there. “You don’t need that either!” To the wall! Shoot her, and that’s it!” He’s loading a machine gun, pointing it at me... Then he waved his other hand at him: “Leave her, don’t! Let the girl hide. Otherwise these will find her, fuck her and kill her anyway. It’s better to save the girl, it’s a pity, she’s young!”

They left, and I told Anyuta: “I can’t do it anymore, I want to hide.” Where to hide? We sat down in the wardrobe. We hear the doors open and they are coming. Anyuta says: “That’s it, we have nowhere to go.” And they are shooting from a machine gun in the yard, shouting at the top of their lungs: “Bitches, come out!” When they discharged the horn, I thought - well, that’s it, I won’t see my mother again, I won’t see anyone. That's when I started crying.

I don’t know how they got past us, but they left. We survived.

Makka Jamaldaeva:

They put four of us: my husband, me, my son and my granddaughter, she stood next to me. They swore as much as they wanted, they said whatever they wanted, they didn’t speak human language, it was impossible to smell of vodka from them. Before that, they were drunk – they could barely stand on their feet. When they told my husband: “Grandfather, give me money, dollars, whatever you have,” he pulled out more than a thousand rubles and gave the money. When he was counting the money, he said: “Grandfather, if you don’t give it back, I’ll shoot you,” he used obscene language at him, the old man.

And so I pulled out my earrings, my granddaughter took out hers, I gave it to him: “Son, please take this, leave us alive.” He again says to his son: “I’ll shoot you in the eye now.” When he said this, the father said: “Son, he has six small children, don’t kill, he’s the only one I have.” And he: “If you don’t give me one more gram of gold, then we will shoot you all.” My son had teeth, crowns, he removed these teeth, we gave them to him. He just said obscenities, turned and left. He was drunk and barely left our yard...

Luiza Abulkhanova:

This is the result of this war. On February 5, we saw terrorists with our own eyes and experienced them ourselves. They announce to us that the war is over. How will it end for us if we can never forget this day?

Five of the survivors turned to Strasbourg.

After federal forces began carrying out air and artillery strikes on residential areas of Grozny and its suburbs at the end of September 1999, residents of the village of Novye Aldy began to leave the village. Nevertheless, until the beginning of February, some permanent residents remained in the village. This was due to many reasons.
The living conditions of forced migrants from Chechnya who found refuge in Ingushetia - the only region where they were accepted - were extremely difficult. There were not enough places in the camps and towns of internally displaced persons. If it was not possible to live with relatives, you most often had to pay for accommodation in the private sector. As a result, the majority of those who remained in Chechnya were elderly and low-income people, who sometimes did not have enough money to rent a car to travel to Ingushetia, not to mention rent housing. Often the whole family did not leave: several people remained to guard the house and property from looters....

At the same time (until the beginning of December), only a few shells hit the territory of the village of Novye Aldy, and the residents thought it was safer to stay there. That is why many of them did not leave their homes.
In early December, Russian troops surrounded Grozny. Shelling and bombing of residential areas began, and attempts to storm the city began. The entire territory adjacent to the village of Novye Aldy was subjected to intense artillery and bomb attacks. Residents of the village were no longer physically able to leave it. They knew nothing about the ultimatum to the residents of Grozny demanding that the military leave the city, nor about the corridors supposedly open for the population to leave. However, such information could hardly help people: the organization of “humanitarian corridors” again came down to the creation of checkpoints at exits from the city, which, moreover, had to be reached through bullet-ridden streets and squares.

Throughout December 1999 and January 2000, the village of Novye Aldy was periodically subjected to artillery and mortar shelling, and sometimes to air bombardment. And although most of the houses were not completely destroyed, almost no building was left with its roof intact. People were hiding in basements and cellars all this time. The water supply system did not work; for drinking water it was necessary to go under fire - either far away - to the spring near the dam of the Chernorechensky reservoir, or closer to the well located behind the school building and providing technical water. During this period, 75 graves of civilians appeared in the village cemetery - people died under bombing and shelling, the wounded died without receiving timely medical care. Inadequate nutrition and stress caused an exacerbation of chronic diseases - old people died...

During all this time, the positions of the Chechen armed formations were not located on the territory of the village. Perhaps this was explained by the fact that there are no administrative premises there (with the exception of school No. 39), there are no multi-story buildings, and residential buildings, as a rule, do not have strong basements. According to local residents, a detachment of field commander A. Zakayev entered the village, but the militants, not finding suitable places to stay here, left. In addition, the village residents themselves persuaded the militants to take pity on the village and not fight on its territory....

On February 3, about a hundred residents of the village, including many old people, under a white banner went to the location of the federal troops. As the men approached the Russian positions, fire was opened on them, and a Russian named Nikolai was seriously wounded. No one could help him: the soldiers did not allow the people who had thrown themselves to the ground to even raise their heads. Only half an hour later, having apparently received the go-ahead from the authorities, the military allowed him to rise from the ground and even bandaged the wounded man. However, it was too late: Nikolai soon died from his wound.

The residents returned home, taking Nikolai's body with them...

The next day: On February 4, there was complete silence after lunch. The inhabitants of the village came out of their basements, many repaired roofs, tidied up their yards, stocked up on water, and started gardening.

On this day, a small unit of Russian military personnel entered the village of Novye Aldy for the first time. They conducted the first preliminary check of the passport regime in the village. These were not conscript soldiers, but people 25 years of age and older, apparently contract soldiers. Local residents describe their behavior in different ways: some talk about the rudeness of the servicemen, others claim that they behaved correctly and even benevolently. In any case, they did not do anything illegal towards people. Moreover, these military men warned some residents of the village about the danger of the next “cleansing operation” tomorrow. But people didn’t believe it, they couldn’t imagine what a nightmare awaited them the next day...

“I walked further down the street. At Mazaev, 142, I saw the body of 72-year-old Magomed Gaytaev. His glasses were hanging on the fence, he himself was lying in a pool of blood. The dog was lapping at it. He had wounds on his head and chest.”
Resident of Aldov

Many residents of New Aldov spoke about the death of a man named Victor. However, only one of them, Arsen Dzhabrailov, was able to more or less coherently explain who he was and how he got to Novye Aldy. Residents of Novy Aldy learned their surname and patronymic after the murder from a passport pierced by a bullet. Viktor Cheptura lived in the village of Michurina, on the eastern outskirts of Grozny. When his house was bombed by Russian aircraft, he moved to his sister in Chernorechye. “He came to me looking for work. I invited him to live with me,” says Arsen. “It was December 2 last year. He helped me, I helped him.”
On February 5, Viktor Cheptura left the yard of Arsen Dzhabrailov (Khoperskaya St., No. 17). Dzhabrailov heard Victor being called by servicemen standing at the intersection of Voronezhskaya and Khoperskaya streets. Approaching them, he allegedly said: “Guys, I belong.” But he was ordered to go forward and shot in the back. This happened in front of Abdul Shaipov’s house (Khoperskaya St., No. 22).
This scene was witnessed by a resident of the village of Shali, who lived nearby at that time (Khoperskaya St., No. 27). His story is close to Dzhabrailov’s testimony. Victor was first interrogated by the commander of the unit operating in this part of the village. When asked what his nationality was, he allegedly replied that he was Ukrainian. “Oh little Russian,” said the commander and ordered: “Go, don’t look back. Live.” Victor walked several tens of meters towards the dam and was shot in the back.
Victor’s corpse was buried by local residents in a vacant lot near Dzhabrailov’s house. According to the information we have, a month later his body was dug up and taken away by people who introduced themselves as employees of the investigation team.
Arsen Dzhabrailov handed over Viktor Cheptura’s passport to the employees of the prosecutor’s office of the Zavodsky district of Grozny.

Alvi Ganaev (about 60) and his two sons Aslanbek (about 34) and Salambek (about 29) were killed by Russian soldiers between 11 and 12 o'clock on the corner of Voronezhskaya and Khoperskaya streets. It appears that they were heading home (in the area of ​​85 Bryanskaya Street) after repairing the roof. Two women from their family were injured: Malika (about 50) and Louise (about 39). 26-year-old L. (name not disclosed), hiding in the basement on the street. Bryanskaya, witnessed the murder and heard Malika Ganaeva calling for help:

15 contract soldiers came. There were 15 of them on each street: my house was the tenth on the corner. When we came out with our passports, the soldiers opened fire. My neighbors at the beginning of the street - the father and two sons of the Ganaevs - were killed. Two women from their family were wounded. Malika's ear was hurt.

I was on the street, I heard shooting, then I saw how they fell, and I heard Malika screaming: “Help!” We all rushed back through the cellars. The soldiers ordered people to leave and threatened to throw grenades. They swore and shouted: “Come out, you sons of bitches, we will kill you all, we have orders!” The guarantors could be heard exploding in the basements further down the street. It was between 11 and 12 o'clock.

Aina Mezhidova and Aset Chaadaeva claimed that the same soldiers who killed the Ganaevs later fatally wounded Ramzan Elmurzaev as he helped drag the Ganaevs' bodies from the street to a nearby yard. According to A. Chaadaeva, R. Elmurzaev was wounded in the stomach and died from internal bleeding early in the morning of February 6.

Yusup Musaev stated that he heard the shots with which R. Elmurzaev was wounded when he was removing bodies from the street in the afternoon: “I was in the yard at that time, I heard shots, but did not attach any importance to it - then shots were a normal thing.”

On the morning of February 5, 60-year-old Yusup Musaev was in a neighboring house on the street. Voronezhskaya, 122. There were also his nephews, 51-year-old Yakub and 35-year-old Suleiman, who left in the morning:

Aba Maasheva, she is about 80 years old and has two nephews, was scared and came to our house with her 15-year-old great-grandson. She said there were two dead people at building 112.

A few minutes later, about seven Russian soldiers in camouflage came to us and forced me and three others, including a 15-year-old teenager, to lie face down in the snow for half an hour while they searched the house. The soldiers warned not to go after the dead, they said: “If you go, you will lie next to them.”

According to Yu. Musaev, the shooting did not stop for another 2-3 hours, so he did not dare to leave. However, around 2 or 3 o'clock in the afternoon, he still took the risk of checking on his relatives. He walked through the backyards to the corner of Voronezhskaya and Khoperskaya streets. There he saw four corpses stacked in a stack, another one lying at the gate of house No. 112 on Voronezhskaya Street, and another one between them. Among the stacked corpses, he identified the bodies of Alvi, Aslambek and Salambek Ganaev, as well as his cousin Abdurakhman Musayev. Another cousin of Yu. Musaev, Umar Musaev, was lying at the gate, and the body of Vakha Khakimov was nearby. They were all shot.

Towards evening, Yu. Musaev noticed that the house of his brother Ibragim Musaev (116 Voronezhskaya St.) was on fire. As he said, they “tried to put out the fire, but it was all in vain - it was too late. By that time it was getting dark, and there were still no nephews, so we went home.”

At about 8 o'clock in the evening, three neighbors came to Yu. Musaev, who said that they had just found the bodies of his nephews Suleiman and Yakub near house No. 22 on Khoperskaya Street. and dragged them to Voronezhskaya, 122.

31-year-old Zhanna Mezhidova:
“I saw a corpse on Voronezhskaya. His name is Vakha..., he is 43 years old. He was repairing the roof. He was hit in the chest, he was covered in blood. The men did not allow the women to examine the body and took him into the house so that the cats and dogs would not eat. "

Khampash Yakhyaev, 42, his cousin Musa Yakhyaev, 48, and an 80-year-old Russian woman believed to be Elena Kuznetsova were killed by soldiers around 1 p.m. as they emerged from a basement in 2nd Tsimlyansky Lane.
A witness to the murder, 53-year-old Aina Mezhidova, said that the soldiers were 35-40 years old, they wore headbands, some wore knitted hats. According to her, they were wearing gray or green camouflage.
At about one o'clock in the afternoon, A. Mezhidova was in the basement in 2nd Tsimlyansky Lane along with the Yakhyaevs, E. Kuznetsova and a Chechen woman named Koka, who had a daughter, Nurzhan:
Six soldiers entered the yard... Koka was the first to leave. She greeted the soldiers: “Good morning.” Koka thought that the soldiers would respect her age, so she went first, but the soldier cursed, hit her with the butt of his gun and kicked her back down into the basement. I saw her fall.
When Koka fell, [Kuznetsova] came out, Khampash and Musa. The soldiers checked their passports. Hampash asked why the soldiers swore at the old woman and why they hit her. I was just about to get up upstairs when she saw a soldier killing Hampash. I rushed back and got out through another exit. Khampash was shot in the head at point-blank range. First they killed him, then Musa, and then [Kuznetsova]. She lived in Aldy for 40 years.
Kh. Yakhyaeva’s mother-in-law, Zina Yakhyaeva, saw the bodies of three victims on the same day:
On the fifth... I came to my son-in-law's house. I saw the bodies of my son-in-law and his friend Musa under the canopy. The son-in-law’s hands were tied with wire, he was shot in the head, shot straight in the face, in the eyes. The young man was taking photos. Musa had similar wounds; his head was blown off.
There was a Russian woman... with them in the basement... The soldiers killed her and burned her corpse in the basement. It smelled bad from there. She was first shot and then burned. ... All of their heads were blown off - many shots to the head.
Musa’s cousin Nurzhan and his aunt Koka gave me the men’s passports. They found it in their mouth. The passports were clean; it looks like they were shot first and then the soldiers stuffed their passports into their mouths.

Having got out of the basement, A. Mezhidova rushed to the street. Matasha Mazaeva to tell others about what she saw. On the way to the house, she came across several corpses of other Alda residents:
Then I ran to Matash Mazaev to tell people what happened. On the way, I came across the body of Koka [about 40 years old], a saleswoman from the pharmacy of Matash Mazaev. She was shot in the stomach, her intestines were hanging. Then I saw Akhmed Abulkhanov at his house on Mazaev Street.

32-year-old Lema Akhtaev and 41-year-old Isa Akhmatov lived in the house of 37-year-old Ramzan Tsanaev, judging by the stories - in 4th Tsimlyansky Lane. Residents of Alda believe that the burnt remains of two men, which they found in a burned-out neighboring house, belong to L. Akhtaev and I. Akhmatov.
A. Chaadaeva had previously treated L. Akhtaev’s shrapnel wound received during shelling, and I. Akhmatov’s had a finger damaged by an ax. When she found out that day what was happening in Aldy, she felt worried for both of them and asked her brother Timur to go see them:
Ramzan told Timur that Lema and Isa were taken away by soldiers, who said that they themselves would treat them with “green stuff”. Timur doubted this, saying that the soldiers were not taking anyone away and that we should look for them in the burnt houses. We went to the neighboring house, they burned it down, and began to clear away the rubble. Nothing was found that day, but the smell of burnt meat was felt.
Timur went there on February 6 and found them. He found the keys to the safe that Lema had. He continued to dig and found part of a burnt corpse - a fragment of the spine with remains of soft tissue. It was from Lema. Nearby I found a skeleton and bone fragments.

“The soldiers took the girl to an empty house, and after a while they returned with the words: “Hide this bitch somewhere... More are coming for us, they will rape and kill her anyway.” She was seventeen or eighteen. This is not the only case ", a married woman was also raped. But people keep it a secret, they say nothing happened because it's such a shame. People just don't talk about it."

When to the house of S.F. Soldiers came to Aldy and, as they say, demanded money and jewelry from the residents. When leaving, they took S.F. by force. with you on the armored personnel carrier. One of the witnesses, who asked not to be named, said that she was among the women who went in search of S.F.:
They found her lying on the edge of Alda: her hair was disheveled, blood was flowing from the corner of her lip. They say she was raped, but she denies it. Her clothes were torn. I was amazed at what I saw. When we found her, we were afraid that the soldiers would return, and we went to a house on... the street. They put her in the basement with other women.

It is also known about the gang rape of four women, the subsequent murder of three of them and the attempted murder of a fourth. The women killed were 35, 32 and 29 years old. The last of them, on February 9, was found by her relative, who in turn told another relative about what had happened.
According to her, when she went to Aldy on February 9 to visit her relatives, she found one of them in a basement not far from their house in a completely depressed state. She was told that around noon on February 5, the woman and three other women went to check their houses in the upper part of Alda and were captured by Russian contract soldiers, who allegedly raped them in turn; the soldiers were 40-50 years old, they had shaved heads and wore beards, two had bandages on their heads. There were 12 soldiers, and “many” raped. Women were also said to be forced to perform oral sex. One of them allegedly suffocated when one of the soldiers sat on her head. When the other two women began to scream, the contractors strangled them. The survivor said she was also forced to perform oral sex and lost consciousness. Then the contract soldiers shouted: “She’s dead! She’s dead too!” - after which they left.
This is how the witness described the victim’s condition:
The hair was all over the place, all torn off, the neck was dirty, the genitals were covered in blood. She was vomiting. My relative went to my father’s house and brought some food. But she didn’t recognize her and shouted: “Get out!” She was hysterical: “Don’t touch me, get out!”
Eyes rolled up. A relative poured water into her mouth and she vomited. She lay down; when she saw me, she screamed again: “Don’t touch me!” She then walked away, screaming and crying.
Then the said witness found the bodies of three murdered women in the yard. With one of the men they buried them in a shallow grave.

"Zina"
Aina Mezhidova helped wash the bodies of some of the women killed during the massacre in Aldy on February 5 and during the shelling of the village. She said that 19-year-old Zina (name withheld), who helped her wash one of the victims, told her that she had been raped “many times,” taken “from yard to yard.” According to A. Mezhidova, the girl lived in Aldy with one of her male relatives, who was not at home when the soldiers arrived.

Geography

The village is located on the southwestern outskirts of Grozny, on the left bank of the Sunzha River, adjacent to the Chernorechensky reservoir.

Story

1787-1994

Founded in 1787 by residents of the village of Aldy from the Dishniy teip, Guna and Bena. . The village is also known as Bukhan-Yurt (BukhIan-Yurt).

Until August 1, 1934, Novye Aldy was part of the Urus-Martan district.

On August 1, 1934, the All-Russian Central Executive Committee decided to “form a new Grozny district in the Chechen-Ingush Autonomous Region with its center in the city of Grozny, including within its borders the villages of Berdykel, Chechen-aul, Novye Aldy and Alkhan-Kala of the Urus-Martan district.”

New Aldy received the status of a village and grew after the return of Chechens from deportation in the late 1950s, when the returnees were allocated plots of land there. By the beginning of the 1990s. the village numbered up to 10 thousand people; there was a library, a clinic, a school for 1.5 thousand students. According to the Memorial Society, “the residents of the village worked in the factories of Grozny.”

1994-2000

In December 1999, Aldy came under heavy shelling.

On January 21, 2000, the Kommersant newspaper wrote that militants control the Zavodskoy district of Grozny from the village of Chernorechye to the Aldy microdistrict, and between these suburbs is the patrimony of the militants defending Grozny.

After 2000

In April 2009, restoration of the Sheikh Mansour Mosque with a capacity of up to 500 people began.

In July 2009, a new branch building of the children's city clinic No. 4 was opened in Novy Aldy.

Notes

Excerpt characterizing New Aldy

“I think this is so because we don’t try to change what is destined for us, honey,” I answered not too confidently.
As far as I could remember, from an early age I was outraged by this injustice! Why did we, the Knowers, need such a test? Why couldn’t we get away from him if we knew how?.. But, apparently, no one was going to answer this to us. This was our Life, and we had to live it the way it was outlined for us by someone. But we could have made her happy so easily if those “above” had allowed us to see our Fate!.. But, unfortunately, I (and even Magdalena!) did not have such an opportunity.
“Also, Magdalene was becoming more and more worried about the unusual rumors that were spreading...” Sever continued. – Strange “Cathars” suddenly began to appear among her students, quietly calling on the others to “bloodless” and “good” teaching. What that meant was that they called to live without struggle and resistance. This was strange, and certainly did not reflect the teachings of Magdalene and Radomir. She felt there was a catch in this, she felt danger, but for some reason she could not meet at least one of the “new” Cathars... Anxiety grew in Magdalena’s soul... Someone really wanted to make the Cathars helpless!.. To sow in their brave doubt in the hearts. But who needed it? Church?.. She knew and remembered how quickly even the strongest and most beautiful powers perished, as soon as they gave up the fight for just a moment, relying on the friendliness of others!.. The world was still too imperfect... And it was necessary to be able to fight for your home, for your beliefs, for your children and even for love. This is why the Magdalene Cathars were warriors from the very beginning, and this was completely in accordance with her teachings. After all, she never created a gathering of humble and helpless “lambs”; on the contrary, Magdalene created a powerful society of Battle Mages, whose purpose was to KNOW, and also to protect their land and those living on it.
That is why the real Cathars, the Knights of the Temple, were courageous and strong people who proudly carried the Great Knowledge of the Immortals.

Seeing my protesting gesture, Sever smiled.
– Don’t be surprised, my friend, as you know, everything on Earth is natural as before - true History is still being rewritten over time, the brightest people are still being reshaped... It was so, and I think it will always be so... That is why, just like from Radomir, from the warlike and proud first (and present!) Qatar, today, unfortunately, only the helpless Teaching of Love, built on self-denial, remains.
– But they really didn’t resist, Sever! They had no right to kill! I read about this in Esclarmonde’s diary!.. And you yourself told me about it.

– No, my friend, Esclarmonde was already one of the “new” Cathars. I will explain to you... Forgive me, I did not reveal to you the true reason for the death of this wonderful people. But I never opened it to anyone. Again, apparently, the “truth” of the old Meteora is telling... It has settled too deeply in me...
Yes, Isidora, Magdalene taught Faith in Goodness, taught Love and Light. But she also taught FIGHT, for the same goodness and light! Like Radomir, she taught perseverance and courage. After all, it was to her that after the death of Radomir, knights from all over Europe of that time strove, since it was in her that they felt Radomir’s brave heart. Do you remember, Isidora, from the very beginning of his life, when he was very young, Radomir called for a fight? Called to fight for the future, for children, for Life?
That is why, the first Knights of the Temple, obeying the will of Magdalene, over the years recruited faithful and reliable help - Occitan warrior knights, and they, in turn, helped them teach ordinary villagers the art of war in case of special need or unexpected disaster. The ranks of the Templars grew rapidly, accepting the willing and worthy into their family. Soon almost all the men from the aristocratic Occitan families belonged to the Temple of Radomir. Those who left for distant countries, at the behest of their families, returned to replenish the brotherhood of the Templars.

Despite their busy lives, the first six Knights of the Temple who came with Magdalene remained her most beloved and most faithful students. Either because they knew Radomir, or for the simple reason that they all lived together for so many years and seemed to have grown into a powerful friendly force, but it was these Templars who were closest to Magdalene’s heart. She shared with them the Knowledge that she did not trust to anyone else.

The tragedy in Novy Aldy, as well as the entire Chechen tragedy in general, needs to be shouted wildly at all intersections! The film about Aldakh and other films about the crimes of the Russian military in Chechnya need to be shown on a wide screen all over the world, including in the Hague and Strasbourg courts!
And when peace finally comes to Chechnya, we need, at least during this century, to return to this topic again and again, just as we return to the Gulag and the Holocaust! For it is not only the number of victims that determines the significance of a particular mass crime for humanity. The main thing here is the degree of moral decline of that part of humanity that is involved in this crime, and the degree of indifference to it (they say this did not affect us!) of the other part of it, which is indirectly also involved in this crime.

Take a closer look at this photo, scanned from a Russian intelligence magazine. Selected “troops” of the FSB, more like a gangster group, which, in fact, is what these “fighters” are. The hirelings of the Kremlin fascist are bastards gathered across the expanses of Russia, who came to burn, steal and kill. You need to remember the faces of these marauders, flickers and murderers, and treasure photographs and their names like the apple of your eye. Sooner or later, the time of Judgment will come. Such crimes have no statute of limitations.

GULAG. Barbed wire

In loving memory of Viktor Alekseevich Popkov
dedicated...

Go away!
The animals are coming for us!
They have orders - to kill!
Unfortunately, on February 5, few people in Russia remember (and, probably, few people, unfortunately, even know) that this is an unusual day. Another anniversary of the terrible crime committed by federal troops in the Chechen village of Novye Aldy (a suburb of Grozny). On this day, a hundred Russian military (according to the villagers, contract soldiers), without insignia and with faces smeared with soot for camouflage, entered the village and began to the methodical destruction of residents, killing them in their homes and on the street, and leaving behind dozens of corpses.
No, these were not unmotivated murders. There was a formal motive, an external pretext for reprisals. Drunk soldiers, often barely able to stand on their feet, had no hesitation in extorting money from the villagers. If there was no money or little of it, rings, earrings, gold teeth were quite suitable... If this was not available, the person was killed. Neither exhortations nor pleas helped: “Guys, don’t kill! I have small children!

However, there was another, true motive for the brutal reprisal against the inhabitants of Novy Aldy. During the assault on Grozny, the village found itself in the rear of the Chechen resistance forces, two kilometers from their positions, and, naturally, the militants passed through it more than once, and when, retreating, they had to leave their positions, some of them found short-term shelter in this village . Throughout December and January, the federals mercilessly shelled the village with heavy guns and bombed it. Residents with children and old people hid in basements, making rare forays to the spring for water. This wild situation led the elderly to heart attacks and strokes; in damp basements people died from pneumonia; many of those who tried to deliver water to their families were left under Russian bombs. In two months, 75 new graves appeared in the village...

But to the federal command, in particular to generals Vladimir Shamanov, Gennady Troshev, Valery Manilov and, of course, the commander of the United Group of Forces, Viktor Kazantsev, who was responsible for everything that was happening in Chechnya at that time, this did not seem enough. When documents were being checked in the village on February 4, the soldiers, leafing through their passports, uttered some strange words for the villagers: “Go away! The animals are coming for us! They have an order - to kill!

The next day the massacre began.
Many of those killed, contrary to Islamic tradition, were not buried for a long time, some until mid-March. Everyone was waiting for the police and the prosecutor’s office to arrive, to record everything, to record everything, to carry out the necessary investigative actions... They waited in vain: the Russian authorities were not at all interested in the incident being investigated, much less getting publicity (“Novaya Gazeta” No. 4 (647 ), January 22-28, 2001, p. 17, “Murder or Execution?”)

But already on the 4th day a strange-looking man appeared in the village - long-haired, in a cassock, with a huge gray beard. An Orthodox novice, also a famous peacemaker and human rights activist, an employee of the Moscow Memorial, Viktor Alekseevich Popkov, brought a cameraman to Novye Aldy. This is how the film was born - documentary evidence of one of the terrible crimes of the Russian military on Chechen soil. A year later, on April 18, 2001, Viktor Popkov was mortally wounded in Chechnya by an unknown person in a mask and died on June 2 in a Moscow hospital. He was killed for this film as well.

Here are some fragments of this very expressive film document (time-lapse recording)…

In a rural cemetery, a group of older Chechens are burying two people. They are placed in one grave, their bodies are wrapped in blankets... On the faces of those present there is an expression of grief, hopelessness, some kind of hauntedness...
An elderly Chechen man turns to the camera and says:

“When the militants came out of Aldov, the elders gathered and went to the Russians. There was this Colonel Lukashev... We explained that there are no militants in the village, you can go in, and if you don’t believe me, “we will remain your hostages or we will go ahead of you...”
On February 4th, passports were checked, a routine check, and on February 5th other federal officers came. What happened here! Can't convey! The soldiers are drunk! Stoned! According to our data, 84 people were killed, among them women, old people, and children! Killed in houses, in basements, on the street! They were killed only because they didn’t have enough money to pay off!”
Another elderly Chechen. He wants to say something but cannot: he is choked by tears. He lowers his head, rubs his face with his hand, tries to start speaking... And he can’t!

This is one of the brothers, these two, who are being buried now. There's the second brother over there. They covered themselves in the basement with the corpses of their father and another brother, and the soldiers did not see them.
We see the speaker. This is an old man.

Then the Russians set the house on fire, and before that they took all the things...
The elderly Chechen who spoke first:

According to the soldiers themselves, who came on February 5: this is the 245th regiment, 6th company.
In the barn there are an old Chechen man and woman. The woman is wearing a headscarf, her hands are mournfully folded in front. She says:

My two sons and husband are buried here. (Panorama of fresh graves). They are innocent of anything. We went to our nephew’s house to cover the roof, and when we returned... (hysterically) Who are the killers?! Whose are they?! Var-va-ry!” (Cries) “They killed my good sons! (with anguish). My pure sons and husband! They left me alone!..
Panorama of fresh graves. Old lady's voice-over:

-...Another neighbor! They dragged my dead son and killed him! Po-mo-gi-te!!! (Sobbing sobbing)
A Chechen man of about 55 takes her away. She, sobbing, continues to lament:

Never in my life have I picked up a weapon! My sons are not to blame for anything!!!
An elderly Chechen man sat down at the fresh grave. Not far away is another middle-aged Chechen in a knitted cap. He squatted down next to a dead man, about 55 years old, lying on a stretcher. On the dead man's chest is his hat. A Chechen in a knitted cap holds a passport in his hands and, looking at it, says:

This is Khaperskaya street. Before you is citizen of Chatura Viktor Platonovich. Ukrainian. He was also killed. I went to help a neighbor, returned home and now...
He places the passport on the dead man's chest.

The passport is pierced by a bullet!
An elderly Chechen man in a sweater and fur hat:

The feds seemed to come to check passports...
Panorama of two male corpses. Voice-over of an elderly Chechen:

- ...And then two brothers were killed - Guna and Omar... The men were about 50 years old. One of them was shot in the eye. It was scary, it flowed out like a bloody mass.
The camera returns to this shot again and again.

...Kudozov Guna and Omar Kudozov...The Russians left, and the brothers still lie there..."
Again in the frame is an elderly Chechen.

This happened on February 5th. Tsimlyanskaya 88.
Panorama of the two murdered men. One of them, the one who was shot in the eye, had his hands in his pockets (he didn’t even have time to take them out).

Two other male corpses. The men are 45-50 years old. One has his head lying in a dried bloody puddle.
Voice behind the scene:

They came and shot point-blank civilians who were innocent of anything. This…
We see closely one killed, then another.

...Sampash Sultanovich and Khazbulatov Musa. Both - with shots to the head...
Panorama of the two killed.

...All the villagers know: they are not involved in anything bad. These are peaceful people, good workers.
Against the background of the wall of the house is an elderly Chechen woman. Clasping her hands in front of her, looking intently ahead, she tells (it is clear that it is very difficult for her to speak)

On February 5, I don’t remember the day, they said that they were going to check our passports like the day before. We had already left the basement and were in the house. The shooting began. This shooting was already close, and we still did not understand what was happening there. But people said: “It’s terrible there! Horror! Fear!" And it was coming!..Suddenly we heard a noise nearby! And someone could be heard persuading the soldiers: “Don’t kill, guys! I came to help a friend, to cover the roof!..” And the other was near the gate. He was taken somewhere. And the other one was taken away. Where?!. Then it turned out that they were taken to their homes - where they lived. They demanded money, gold, silver... Everything they had had to be given away! One took the money from his father, as much as he had, and they took him back. They didn’t make it: they shot me on the way! We know exactly the place where he was shot.
The second one lived further away. The wife pulled out everything she had - money, gold. She gave it all, and he shot at their feet and said: “If you don’t give it yet, I’ll shoot you!” Somehow they all remained alive. Apparently they were lucky...

And there (she gestures to the side) ... everyone was shot too. The only one left alive is Ahyad. And three of them - Sultan Dzhabrailov, Vakha, another Vakha - bespectacled (he always wore black glasses), I don’t remember their last names... They killed these three on the spot. They knocked out their gold teeth... Then they came to us.

They put four of us - my husband, son, me, my granddaughter standing here next to me, and they said: “Three minutes for you! If you don’t give it!..”... Swear words! They said what they wanted! They didn't speak human language! They stank of vodka beyond belief! They were so drunk that they could barely stand on their feet!

The soldier said to his husband: “Grandfather! Give me money, dollars, whatever you have - quickly!!” The husband pulled out more than a million - he had it prepared - and gave it away. And the soldier, when he counted them, said: “Grandfather! If you don’t give it yet, I’ll shoot you!” He used obscene language towards an old man.

And so he thought so, counted the money, and then at me: “And you’re a grandmother, so and so!..” I can’t talk about how he insulted us all. “I’ll knock out your gold teeth now, and you’ll be ruined!” - well, in Russian, again obscenely. I tell him: “Son! This is my prosthesis! - pulled it out, - These are simple teeth. Take it!” And he: “Hide it, so and so!”, and I put it back.

And then he said to his son: “And you, you are so and so!” I'll shoot you in the eye now and kill you! You look like a fighter!”

My son has never been a fighter! There were no militants on our street at all! Neither in the first war, nor in this war, not a single young man from our street went to fight. We are poor people. The rich have all left. And we are without anything: no food, no drink, no shelter, nothing left. The house was destroyed! Airplanes - bombs! The soldiers beat us with cannons and machine guns! They killed! We sat in the basements hungry, cold, there was nothing to eat. We barely survived it all. And now... I pulled out the earrings, my granddaughter pulled out her earrings, and they gave them to him. I say: “Son! Na, please take this! Leave us alive!

And he again looked at his son: “I’ll shoot you in the eye now!” Then the father says: “Son! He has six children! Little ones! Don’t kill him: he’s the only one I have!” And he kept threatening: “If you don’t give me at least one more gram of gold, I’ll shoot everyone!” My son had teeth - crowns, he removed them. The granddaughter went home and brought these four crowns. Only then did he say (swearing): “Okay! Everyone to the house! If you leave the house, I’ll shoot everyone!” He turned and left! And he was drunk! He barely left our yard! Barely got out!

She cries:

"Oh! It's hard to talk! How did we survive? I can’t explain it to you! Allah saved us! Allah left us alive! On February 5, Russian soldiers killed our guys and wanted to kill us! And women and children!
A basement in one of the houses in Novy Aldy (filmed through a hatch). The lighting, however, is so low that we can barely see what the excited elderly woman's voice is saying in the background:

Here is a Russian woman lying dead! The soldier threw explosives! There she is lying on the bed! And there's the lemon he threw. These were very good Russian people - our neighbors. We lived together. We took her with us to this basement and lived together for five months. She didn't do anything bad to anyone! What harm did she do to them?! We are now afraid to get her out of there: they mined her! It's already rotten! It stinks - it's lying there! We cover the hatch with a lid so that cats and dogs don’t chew it. She was a good woman!
Interior of another Chechen house in Novy Aldy. The bodies of three murdered people lie on the floor. We see a heavy-set man in a sweater, about 70 years old. He has a huge hole in his head (the size of a matchbox). Her brains fell out onto the floor.

Abulkhanov Akhmed, born in 1921...
Another corpse. This is a woman about 60 years old. Fingers curled in death throes...

Zina Abdulmedzhidova, born in 1940...
The camera moves a little further - a dead man of about 50 years old. His head is large, his nose is large and stands out on his petrified face...

Abdulmedzhidov Hasan, 53 years old..."
Presenter's voice-over:

When were they killed?
Panorama of the bodies of the dead. Male voice-over:

February 5, 2000 thousand at 14.30. Right in their house, in the living space where they were. They came in and shot at point blank range.
We see the speaker. This is an old Chechen about 75 years old, wearing a padded jacket and a fur hat. A woman of about 50 is standing at a distance. She cries quietly, wiping her eyes. The old man continues:

And now they are all lying here... (he turns to the woman) Is it the tenth today?
Woman:

Ninth.
Old man:

They're still lying down! We brought it in from the street to keep it away from dogs and cats. They put it in a cold room.
The old man says something to the woman in Chechen and she begins the conversation. Her voice trembles like a crying child. She really cries, saying the words through her tears:

They have been waiting for this day, when the feds will come and say: “There is no more war!..” When they will not kill, and everything will be free! The Russians came in, ordered us all to leave, called us dirty names... They (crying) - with machine guns, with grenades!.. They intimidated!.. They took the gold, the money - everything that was! And this old man... People saw. They promised to keep him alive. And when he gave his last penny, he was shot. "Old man! You're a fighter too! - they said. He asked them so much, begged them: “Well, what are you doing, guys!?”
...On February 5, almost a hundred people were killed in the village of Novye Aldy!.. (crying) ...There are no words! This is the result of the war! We saw with our own eyes what terrorism is! Tested it for yourself! And on the 6th they announce that the war is over! How will it end for us if we can never forget this day?! (Sobbing).

The interior of another house in the village of Novye Aldy. A Chechen man of about 45 in a jacket and fur hat. He tells:

Sultan Mukhaev, born in the 50th year... On February 5 at 2 o'clock in the afternoon he came to me and asked for money. With him was a Russian soldier with a machine gun and a grenade in his hands. I say:
- How many do you need? Maybe I’ll go and collect what I have?” My father only had 75 rubles. I borrowed 150 rubles from a neighbor. I found 200 rubles. Gave! They still took him and said: “Let’s let him go!” And then at night I found him dead! Killed!”

He looks at the camera in confusion and is silent for a long time. In the end, he says with some kind of detached despair:

I can't find any more words!
Interior of another house in Novy Aldy. On the floor is a dead, elderly man of about 60 years old. Next to him is an old Chechen in a padded jacket and a hat with earflaps. He says:

Ilyakhov Sultan Abayevich. He didn't do anything bad to anyone. He was a harmless guy. Just lived for yourself! And then on February 5, Russian soldiers came and killed him!
Interior of another house in Novy Aldy. A young guy in jeans and a leather jacket, bending down, straightens the fur coat on the floor in which a dead old man is wrapped. We see a dead man. Behind the scenes is the voice of this young Chechen:

This old man lived here. He came out to see who was killed when the shots were fired. He also came out and was shot. February 5, 2000. There was a cleanup.
Voiceover presenter:

How old is he?"
A young Chechen behind the scenes:

About 76 years old, nearly eighty. Half a horn of bullets was fired at him. The gold teeth were removed...
Another room. On the floor is a dead woman of about 45 years old. Next to her is the same young Chechen. Behind the scenes - his voice:

On February 5, the cleanup took place. They killed the old people. This woman, Koka Bisultanova, was the first to run out to look, and she was shot from a 5.45 machine gun right in the yard...
There is a dead woman about 38 years old on the floor. Same voice:

And this is Amani (name is not legible). She jumped out after her. She saw her fall and immediately rushed back into the house. And after her a soldier ran into the house. He caught up with her and shot her!..
We see first one woman, then another. Same voice:

They pulled the gold teeth out of my mouth... What was at home - money, everything... In general, they took away what they could take away! They were looting!
These are the same two dead women, taken from a different point. Next to them is a Chechen woman of about 50 years old. Worried, she complements the young man’s story:

This woman, I know, had... Well, how women store (she points to her chest) - jewelry! (Excitedly) They pulled them out! They climbed everywhere! Don't be shy! They searched them up and down!..
She raises her voice:

Everything in the house has been turned upside down! And not only this! In all houses! In all! How many corpses do we have?! How many did we count?! I saw it all with my own eyes! I was the first to stumble upon these dead people!..
The woman's face is contorted with suffering. She's screaming:

They pulled out gold teeth! This woman had gold teeth. There are none! They pulled it out! And not just anyone, but them! The old man was lying, my neighbor (name illegible). Another old man! They were lying in a row like that! They also had their teeth pulled out!
Presenter's voice-over:

Who did it? Who are they"?"
A woman and a young man standing at a distance rush to answer. They speak loudly, drowning each other out:

Soldiers! Russian soldiers! And internal troops!
The woman continues excitedly:

And they came to me and said: “Come on, stand against the wall!” I was saved by a miracle! They directly said: “We have been given orders to shoot everyone! Destroy all living things! Kill everyone! And down there - you will go now - they will tell you... The girl is 9 years old! Mother - 41 years old. And in front of the girl’s eyes, her mother is shot!..
The woman continues hysterically:

How long have we been under bombing!.. Everyone thought that soon all this would pass! The Russians will come and all this will end!.. They will free us from this hell! Released! 84 people killed! It is unbearable! This issue must be raised at all costs!”
Young Chechen:

Two streets - 84 corpses!
Woman:

This is impossible!
Voiceover presenter:

In New Aldy!
A young man and woman speak at the same time, interrupting each other excitedly:

Yes! In Aldy! But we don’t count all Aldy... These are just two streets in the village of New Aldy! Two or three blocks are small! And now - 84 corpses!
Woman:

And on our street!..
A young man interrupting her:

The wounded were finished off! “Why are they suffering?! Better finish them off!” And they finished it off! The worst genocide took place on that day! February 5th!
The interior of another house in the village. There is a dead man on the floor. His face is covered in blood, instead of the top of his head there is a bloody mess. The voice of the same young Chechen is heard behind the scenes:

- ... (name and surname are illegible). I don’t know exactly his year of birth, but about 45 years old. He was shot because he just went out into the street. They beat me badly and then shot me. There is no part of the head at all - they fired from a grenade launcher!
Another dead man. A deep bloody hole is visible at his temple. Same voiceover:

Dadaev Ibrgagim, he was with a friend. He also went out into the street, he was also hit with a grenade launcher, and also hit in the head. He is about 50 years old. He and his friend just went out into the street and they were shot! Both!
One of the courtyards in Novy Aldy. An elderly man lies dead on the ground. There is dried blood on his face and neck, his hands are tied with wire. An excited female voice behind the scenes:

These are only those who did not have time to be buried! Many buried their dead in their yards! We need to show this to everyone! Everyone! Let there be a forensic medical examination! Let it be! Neither old people, nor women, nor children - no one was spared! Not our own! No Russian women, no Russian children, no Russian old people! Everyone! They have no pity!
The interior of one of the houses in Novy Aldy. An elderly man points to a dead man lying on the floor:

This happened on February 5th. Podvezhsky! Shot at point blank range!
A middle-aged man is unwrapping something wrapped in a blanket on the floor. This is a dead man in a fur hat. The male voice-over continues:

Dzhambekov Vakha. They mocked him terribly! They asked for money, they asked for gold!.. He is a beggar! Because he had no money or gold, he was shot!
Interior of another house in Novy Aldy. Six male corpses lie in a row on the floor. Three are old men over seventy, the other three are men between forty and forty-five. Hands twisted in death throes... One has a bloody face. Male voice-over:

These three are my cousins. This one is a second cousin. They went to fetch water that day. They walked with flasks and right here on the corner they were all killed!
We see the dead from different sides. Protruding noses stand out above the frozen faces. Male voice-over:

This one is our neighbor, Shamil. He was found together with his cousin brother, Musa. Here he is also in front of you. They were killed right next to the gate! Completely innocent people were shot at point-blank range!
One of the courtyards in Novy Aldy. There are traces of fire everywhere... The walls of a burnt house are visible. Male voice-over:

The owner of this house was taken away. That's what the neighbors said. You see - the house was set on fire, everything was destroyed, broken, plundered!
Various broken, burnt objects are scattered in the yard...

This order was established in Novy Aldy on February 5 by the federals! There's a sofa, windows, doors lying around! It is unknown where the owner was taken!
There is a lemon on the screen. It hangs on the door of a small barn, screwed to a padlock with duct tape, from which some ropes go in different directions. Behind the scenes - the same male voice:

These are all soldiers! They bombed the store! Everything that was there was taken away. There's a lemon on the door! And inside hangs another lemon! And there are a lot of such lemons: on doors, on gates! They set up the trip wires and left. But there are no militants here, so who are these lemons aimed at?!
There are four people on the street - an elderly Russian woman of about 55, a Chechen woman of about 45 (next to her is a Chechen boy of about ten) and an old Russian woman of about 75 in a blue scarf.

Russian woman:

We came here on the 21st?..
Chechen:

On January 21, when we were bombed and killed in Chernorechye (our relative was killed), we decided to move to Aldy. They moved to Aldy and brought with them everyone they could, their neighbors...
Russian woman, intruding into the conversation:

We gathered from several houses into one basement...
Chechen:

With kids!
Russian woman (continues):

It was already impossible there! It was hell! We just heard bombs exploding! There were no apartments there anymore, nothing! All that was left was to get a bomb in the basement! We were forced to leave there. We came here, people gave us shelter. We rested a little, and then they started bombing. There are no militants, but they are bombing! In a checkerboard pattern! Then, when it was all over, we were happy: now this hell is over. The first Russians on February 4 were normal. And on February 5th they came and started killing! Civilians!..
The Chechen woman (it is clear that she is filled with indignation and anger) picks up:

Rob! They started robbing! Set houses on fire! They took gold and jewelry from women. Everything we could! They demanded money! They took the women! They took me to Khankala or where, I don’t know. Raped! Some were killed. Five or ten, I don’t know, were detained! We don’t know what happened to them, but the fact is that on the third day people walked and said: “What a horror! What’s going on!” It’s all beyond words! We waited, we thought the feds would come - they would stop bombing, there would be some salvation from all this hell. And they got caught from the bombing - from one hell to another hell!
An old Russian woman in a headscarf nods:

Exactly! In hell! And how we hoped!..
The Chechen woman continues:

It was a terrible sight! It was necessary to see how innocent people were shot!..
Addresses the Russian old woman:

Aunt Anya! Tell me how it was! How your husband was shot! This is a terrible thing! They didn’t spare the Russians! They didn’t spare the Chechens!
Aunt Anya nods:

Nobody! Nobody!
The Chechen woman continues (hysterically):

They don't feel sorry for anyone! They directly said: “We were given an order: shoot everyone! Kill everyone! February 5 is right in front of this kiosk... (she points to a small one-story building). This kiosk was filmed in the film “A Friend Among Strangers, a Stranger Among Our Own.” I don't remember the man's last name. (They tell her from the back of the room) Rataev Khalazhu! They killed him right here in front of me. Then along the road a little further lay the corpse of a woman. The soldiers who stood at the crossroads told me: “Sister! Get out of here! The most terrible animals are coming! They won't spare anyone! They will shoot everyone! We can't help you! There were good ones among the soldiers, but there were animals...
OMON or MOMON, I don’t know. Mercenaries! With foxes on their heads on their helmets! It was a terrible sight! They took everything they could take off from the women, everything they could take!

And then, a day after the murder, when the corpses lay in the houses, the Ural arrived. I heard, I thought an armored personnel carrier, it turned out to be a car! Freight. It turns out that on that day they collected things and hid them somewhere, and the next day they came to pick them up! They stepped over four corpses in this house and took everything they could! These are not people, but animals! They came to kill!

“The Chechens,” they said, “we must not leave alive!” All Chechens are militants! Everyone is a terrorist - women, children! Shoot everyone!” And the children... Do you see this boy?! (She takes off the child’s hat and gently strokes his head.) They told him: “You are a future militant! You are a terrorist! You should be shot!” (The boy, embarrassed, snatches her hat from her and steps aside). This is how they scared the child!”

Aunt Anya:

I'm Russian. We lived among the Chechens: here is my neighbor, here is my neighbor... We all fled from bombs in the same basement.
The Chechen woman continues (very excitedly):

And they threw grenades into the basements! People were torn alive!
Aunt Anya:

We were kicked out of the apartment, kicked out of the basement, and we came here...
Chechen woman shouts:

The Nazis didn't do this! Look - destroyed houses! Can't people get hurt?! And a person must hide it, because if you have an injury, then you are a fighter! This is scary! These are fascists! Fa-shi-sty!!!
Chechnya. Russian murders.

Russian justice on its own territory. Segregation and genocide are the most terrible crimes against people, unleashed by two “arbiters” of the destinies of their own people, Russian citizens Boris Yeltsin and Vladimir Putin.

Evidence collected by human rights organization Human Rights Watch.
NALGIYEVA Aminat (not her real name), resident of the village of Novye Aldy:

On February 5 at about 12 noon... My father and brother and I went out and saw soldiers setting fire to houses... Seeing us, one of them shouted: “Mark their foreheads, Sery, with green paint, so that it’s easier to aim!..” Ruslan Elsaev (40 years), when two soldiers shot at him, he was standing outside his house and smoking. One bullet passed two centimeters from the heart... A doctor was needed. But how could we show it to the Russians?!
They finished off sick and wounded civilians - old men and women!

Akhtaev (Lyoma, born in 1968) miraculously survived when a mortar shell hit their house. Three of their family were then killed, and he was seriously wounded. On February 5, he and Isa Akhmadov (born in 1950) were burned alive. We then found their bones and collected them in a saucepan. Any examination will show that these are human bones, human DNA.

They also burned Shamkhan Baytiarov alive and took him from his home.

They brutally killed 80-year-old Akhmatova Rakyat - they first wounded her, and then finished her off while lying down. She shouted: “Don’t shoot!” There are other witnesses to this.

Elmurzav Ramzan (born in 1967), disabled, was wounded on February 5 and died at night from peritonitis.

The Idigov brothers were forced to go down to the basement and bombarded with grenades. One somehow survived, the other was torn to pieces.

Gaytaev Magomed was shot dead near his gate. Can you really list them all?!”

UMAROVA Zoya (not her real name), resident of the village of Novye Aldy:

There was not a single militant among those killed on February 5. All peaceful citizens... Everyone died a terrible death. Isa Akhmadov and Ramzan, one of the Tsanaevs’ sons, were apparently burned alive.
First they killed and then burned in their house in the 4th Tsimlyansky lane 4 Khazbulatovs: Abdul (born 1940-42), his wife Samart and two sons - Magomed and Akhmad, 11 and 13 years old.

Of those I know, the old man Khaidaev Gupa also died. He was over 70. What a harmless man he was! Khaniev Tuta (born in 1954), also not a militant, also died.

I don’t know when and how this war will end and how many more victims will be sacrificed on the altar of Putin’s presidency. I only know that after all these horrors I will not be able to treat the Russians with respect. It is unlikely that we will now get along with them in the same state.”

But the point is that those who gave the order for the massacre of the Novo-Aldyns are not at all going to get along with the Chechens in the same state. No, we are not talking about the fact that the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria will finally, after three hundred years of struggle for freedom, gain independence. It’s just that those who gave the order seriously hope that as a result of the “anti-terrorist” operation, the Chechens as a people will cease to exist. The main thing is to disrupt their gene pool: the people are small and will not recover soon! That's what filtration camps are for!

Chechen men (and all of them will end up there, according to Moscow's plans, as a result of purges) will either be destroyed or maimed, and in addition made childless.

Elderly people, unable to withstand the hellish tension created by the punitive occupation regime, will quickly depart to another world. The same is true for babies (pregnancy and childbirth are stressful for mothers, lack of baby food, unsanitary conditions, lack of proper medical care).

Women? They, as you know, cannot give birth without full-fledged men.

Children? When will they grow up again? There will be time to decide what to do with them. (In the meantime, they have already missed two years of school, and very few of them will receive a full education, and it is common knowledge that uneducated, illiterate people are easier to manage!) Those who settled in the Ingush camps?.. So they are slowly dying there! And if we return to Chechnya, we’ll deal with them too!

Those who are abroad will not return! And if they come back, let them blame themselves!

Those who are in Russia will become Russified and assimilate!

So what kind of Chechen people will you have to get along with in one state?!

What was done to the Chechens in Novy Aldy was not directed at the Novy Aldy people - it was addressed to the entire Chechen people. They wanted to psychologically break the Chechens, crush them, irreversibly traumatize them, and show them with their own eyes that if they did not give up the idea of ​​independence, they would be brutally wiped out from the face of the earth, without rules and conditions. After all, what was done in Novy Aldy is unforgivable, it will forever remain in the people’s memory.

How can you not be afraid of this? And so: in order to remain in people's memory, it is necessary, at a minimum, for the people to continue to exist. They wanted to show the Chechens in Novy Aldy that they, as a people, no longer exist: they will either be destroyed or agree to live on their knees. And what kind of folk memory do slaves have?

Such attempts to break overnight the core of the Chechens' national will, the spirit of the age-old desire for freedom were repeated more than once after that: Gekhi-Chu, Sernovodsk, Assinovsaya, Achkhoy-Martan, Alkhan-Kala, Tsotsan-Yurt, Argun! Almost every purge operation carries such an attempt, only in a minimized form, when innocent Chechen men are caught and taken away to nowhere; every shelling and bombing of peaceful villages, when Chechen old people, women, children fall under bombs and shells...

When Stalin was exposed in 1955, one of the authors, still a boy, accidentally heard a conversation between two women on a Moscow trolleybus, which stuck in his mind. “Yes, it’s a shame, of course,” said one, “that millions of innocent people died in the camps. But what will you do now? Why should we now run through the streets and shout wildly?”
And the second (it was clear that this touched a nerve) answered: “Of course! Exactly! Run through the streets and scream wildly! May we all be an itchy thorn for centuries! Lest we forget! So that you will never forgive yourself for allowing this to happen!”

Geography

The village is located on the southwestern outskirts of Grozny, on the left bank of the Sunzha River, adjacent to the Chernorechensky reservoir.

Story

1787-1994

Founded in 1787 by residents of the village of Aldy from the Dishniy teip, Guna and Bena. . The village is also known as Bukhan-Yurt (BukhIan-Yurt).

Until August 1, 1934, Novye Aldy was part of the Urus-Martan district.

On August 1, 1934, the All-Russian Central Executive Committee decided to “form a new Grozny district in the Chechen-Ingush Autonomous Region with its center in the city of Grozny, including within its borders the villages of Berdykel, Chechen-aul, Novye Aldy and Alkhan-Kala of the Urus-Martan district.”

New Aldy received the status of a village and grew after the return of Chechens from deportation in the late 1950s, when the returnees were allocated plots of land there. By the beginning of the 1990s. the village numbered up to 10 thousand people; there was a library, a clinic, a school for 1.5 thousand students. According to the Memorial Society, “the residents of the village worked in the factories of Grozny.”

1994-2000

In December 1999, Aldy came under heavy shelling.

On January 21, 2000, the Kommersant newspaper wrote that militants control the Zavodskoy district of Grozny from the village of Chernorechye to the Aldy microdistrict, and between these suburbs is the patrimony of the militants defending Grozny.

After 2000

In April 2009, restoration of the Sheikh Mansour Mosque with a capacity of up to 500 people began.

In July 2009, a new branch building of the children's city clinic No. 4 was opened in Novy Aldy.

Notes

Excerpt characterizing New Aldy

- Yes, Savelich orders.
– Tell me, did you not know about the death of the Countess when you stayed in Moscow? - said Princess Marya and immediately blushed, noticing that by making this question after his words that he was free, she ascribed to his words a meaning that they, perhaps, did not have.
“No,” answered Pierre, obviously not finding the interpretation that Princess Marya gave to his mention of her freedom awkward. “I learned this in Orel, and you can’t imagine how it struck me.” We were not exemplary spouses,” he said quickly, looking at Natasha and noticing in her face the curiosity about how he would respond to his wife. “But this death struck me terribly.” When two people quarrel, both are always to blame. And one’s own guilt suddenly becomes terribly heavy in front of a person who no longer exists. And then such death... without friends, without consolation. “I’m very, very sorry for her,” he finished and was pleased to notice the joyful approval on Natasha’s face.
“Yes, here you are again, a bachelor and a groom,” said Princess Marya.
Pierre suddenly blushed crimson and tried for a long time not to look at Natasha. When he decided to look at her, her face was cold, stern and even contemptuous, as it seemed to him.
– But did you really see and talk with Napoleon, as we were told? - said Princess Marya.
Pierre laughed.
- Never, never. It always seems to everyone that being a prisoner means being a guest of Napoleon. Not only have I not seen him, but I have also not heard of him. I was in much worse company.
Dinner ended, and Pierre, who at first refused to talk about his captivity, gradually became involved in this story.
- But is it true that you stayed to kill Napoleon? – Natasha asked him, smiling slightly. “I guessed it when we met you at the Sukharev Tower; remember?
Pierre admitted that this was the truth, and from this question, gradually guided by the questions of Princess Marya and especially Natasha, he became involved in a detailed story about his adventures.
At first he spoke with that mocking, meek look that he now had at people and especially at himself; but then, when he came to the story of the horrors and suffering that he had seen, he, without noticing it, became carried away and began to speak with the restrained excitement of a person experiencing strong impressions in his memory.
Princess Marya looked at Pierre and Natasha with a gentle smile. In this whole story she saw only Pierre and his kindness. Natasha, leaning on her arm, with a constantly changing expression on her face, along with the story, watched, without looking away for a minute, Pierre, apparently experiencing with him what he was telling. Not only her look, but the exclamations and short questions she made showed Pierre that from what he was telling, she understood exactly what he wanted to convey. It was clear that she understood not only what he was saying, but also what he would like and could not express in words. Pierre told about his episode with the child and the woman for whose protection he was taken in the following way:
“It was a terrible sight, children were abandoned, some were on fire... In front of me they pulled out a child... women, from whom they pulled things off, tore out earrings...
Pierre blushed and hesitated.
“Then a patrol arrived, and all those who were not robbed, all the men were taken away. And me.
– You probably don’t tell everything; “You must have done something…” Natasha said and paused, “good.”
Pierre continued to talk further. When he talked about the execution, he wanted to avoid the terrible details; but Natasha demanded that he not miss anything.
Pierre started to talk about Karataev (he had already gotten up from the table and was walking around, Natasha was watching him with her eyes) and stopped.
- No, you cannot understand what I learned from this illiterate man - a fool.
“No, no, speak up,” said Natasha. - Where is he?
“He was killed almost in front of me.” - And Pierre began to tell the last time of their retreat, Karataev’s illness (his voice trembled incessantly) and his death.
Pierre told his adventures as he had never told them to anyone before, as he had never recalled them to himself. He now saw, as it were, a new meaning in everything that he had experienced. Now, when he was telling all this to Natasha, he was experiencing that rare pleasure that women give when listening to a man - not smart women who, while listening, try to either remember what they are told in order to enrich their minds and, on occasion, retell it or adapt what is being told to your own and quickly communicate your clever speeches, developed in your small mental economy; but the pleasure that real women give, gifted with the ability to select and absorb into themselves all the best that exists in the manifestations of a man. Natasha, without knowing it herself, was all attention: she did not miss a word, a hesitation in her voice, a glance, a twitch of a facial muscle, or a gesture from Pierre. She caught the unspoken word on the fly and brought it directly into her open heart, guessing the secret meaning of all Pierre’s spiritual work.
