Dedicated to "Gyurza" and "Cobra", the fearless scouts of General Vladimir Shamanov
“I thought that I would die as I please, but not like this ... Why did I rarely go to church and was baptized at twenty-five? Perhaps that is why such a death? The blood oozes slowly, not like from a bullet wound, I will die for a long time ... ”- Sergey hardly breathed in the air with a full chest. That's all he could do. There was not a crumb in his stomach for the fifth day, but he did not want to eat. The unbearable pain in the arms and legs pierced through and through has temporarily disappeared.
“How far you can see from this height, how beautiful the world is!” thought the sergeant. For two weeks he saw nothing but the earth and the concrete walls of the cellars, turned into zindans. A machine gunner, he was taken prisoner by militant scouts when he lay unconscious on the edge of the nearest forest, shell-shocked by a sudden shot from a “fly”.
And now he has been floating in the air for two hours in a light breeze. Not a cloud in the sky, unbearable spring blue. Directly below him, at the trenches of militants flowing like an uneven snake, a serious battle was unfolding.
The battles for the village of Goiskoye have been going on for the second week. As before, Gelayev's militants took up defense along the perimeter of the village, hiding from artillery behind the houses of local residents. The federal troops were in no hurry with the assault, the new generals relied more on artillery than on infantry breakthroughs. It was, after all, the spring of 1995.
Sergei came to his senses from a kick in the face. He was brought on a stretcher to be interrogated by militants. The taste of salty blood in my mouth and the pain of broken teeth brought me to my senses immediately.
Good morning! - people in camouflages laughed.
Why torture him, he still doesn’t know anything, just a sergeant, a machine gunner! Let me shoot! - impatiently, swallowing the endings, a bearded militant of about thirty with black teeth said in Russian. He took up the machine.
The other two looked doubtfully at Sergei. One of them - and Sergey never found out that it was Gelaev himself - said, as if reluctantly, tapping the toes of his new Adidas sneakers with a stick:
Aslan, shoot him in front of the trenches so the Russians can see. The last question for you, kafir: if you accept Islam with your soul and shoot your comrade now, you will live.
It was only then that Sergei saw another bound prisoner - a young Russian guy about eighteen years old. He did not know him. The boy's hands were tied behind his back, and he, like a ram before the slaughter, was already lying on his side, crouched in anticipation of death.
The moment stretched into a full minute.
No, - as if poured out of his mouth, like lead.
I thought so, to shoot ... - the field commander answered laconically.
Hey Ruslan! Why is this good guy shoot? There is a better offer! Remember the story of what the Gimry, our ancestors, did more than a hundred years ago, - this was said by a militant who approached from behind in a brand new NATO camouflage and in a green velvet beret with a tin wolf on the side.
Sergey, with his broken kidneys, dreamed of quietly falling asleep and dying. Most of all, he did not want his throat to be cut with a knife in front of a video camera and his ears to be cut off alive.
“Well, shoot like a man, you bastards! thought the soldier to himself. - I deserve it. I put so many of yours from a machine gun - do not count!
The militant approached Sergei and looked inquisitively into his eyes, apparently to see the fear. The machine gunner answered him with a calm look of blue eyes.
Kafirs have a holiday today, Christ's Easter. So crucify him, Ruslan. Right here in front of the trenches. In honor of the holiday! Let the kafirs rejoice!
Gelayev raised his head in surprise and stopped tapping the rhythm of the zikt on his sneakers.
Yes, Hasan, it was not in vain that you went through the school of psychological warfare with Abu Movsaev! So be it. And the second, young, also to the cross.
The two commanders, without turning around, went towards the dugout, discussing the tactics of the village's defense as they went. The prisoners had already been erased from memory. And from the list of the living.
The crosses were built from improvised telegraph poles and Muslim burial boards, which were stuffed across and obliquely, imitating church crosses.
The sergeant was laid on a cross, having taken off all his clothes, except for his underpants. The nails turned out to be “weaving”, they were not found larger in the village, so they drove them into the hands and feet several at a time. Sergei groaned softly as his hands were nailed. He didn't care anymore. But he screamed loudly when the first nail pierced his leg. He lost consciousness, and the rest of the nails were driven into the motionless body. No one knew how to nail the legs - directly or crosswise, overflowing the left to the right. They nailed it directly. The militants realized that the body would not hold on to such nails anyway, so they first tied Sergei by both hands to a horizontal board, and then pulled his legs to the post.
He came to his senses when a wreath of barbed wire. Gushing blood from a torn vessel flooded the left eye.
Well, how do you feel? Ah, gunner! You see what kind of death we came up with for you at Easter. You will go straight to your Lord. Appreciate! - smiled a young militant who scored in right hand Sergei five nails.
Many Chechens came to stare at the ancient Roman execution out of pure curiosity. What they just did not do before their eyes with the captives, but crucified on the cross for the first time. They smiled, repeating among themselves: “Easter! Easter!"
The second prisoner was also put on the cross and nails were hammered in.
A blow to the head with a hammer stopped the screams. The boy's legs were pierced when he was already unconscious.
Local residents also came to the village square, many looked at the preparations for the execution with approval, some, turning away, immediately left.
How the Russians will get furious! This is a gift from Ruslan for Easter! You will hang for a long time, sergeant, until your people slap you ... out of Christian mercy. - The militant, who was tying the machine gunner's bloody legs to the post, laughed out loud with a hoarse laugh.
Finally, he put both captives on top of barbed wire and Russian helmets on their heads, so that in the camp of General Shamanov they would no longer doubt who field commander Ruslan Gelaev had crucified on the outskirts of the village.
The crosses were taken to the front line, placed standing up, dug right into the heaps of earth from the dug trenches. It turned out that they were in front of the trenches, under them there was a machine-gun point of militants.
At first, a terrible pain pierced the body, sagging on thin nails. But gradually the ropes tightened under the armpits took over the center of gravity, and the blood began to flow to the fingers less and less. And soon Sergei no longer felt his palms and did not feel pain from the nails driven into them. But the mutilated legs hurt terribly.
Spring 1941. The air clearly smells of a big war. Enemy agents are sharply activated, hunting for military secrets of the USSR and planning terrorist attacks against the Soviet leadership. While investigating the case of the theft of top-secret telegraph codes, Major Pronin receives operational information that the enemies of the people are preparing to blow up the building of the General Staff. All the threads are drawn to the German special services, but an experienced security officer understands that an even more dangerous enemy is hiding behind the scenes of the conspiracy, an extra-class spy who has received the task of provoking Stalin ...

War from the East. A book about the Afghan campaign Alexander Prokhanov
In the old days, temples were erected on the battlefields in memory of the heroes and martyrs who gave their lives for their Motherland.
