The head of Chechnya opened a monument to the heroines of the fight against Russian troops under the command of Yermolov

17 September 2013 509

The figure of the Russian commander and statesman, the “conqueror of the Caucasus”, Alexei Petrovich Yermolov, remains his pointer, defining the attitude of a person to stories Russia. For Caucasian nationalists and liberals, Yermolov is a “strangler of freedom and executioner” who conducted ethnic cleansing. For patriots, statists - the Russian general, an excellent example of imperial policy, which is tough, but generally leads to the prosperity of the state, the suppression of savagery and progress.

Unfortunately, the current policy of Moscow towards the Caucasian regions remains strategically erroneous. It is impossible to eliminate the fundamental contradictions by economic measures. How many wolves do not feed, he still looks into the forest. Economic measures should be part of a holistic strategy to create a single “empire” (Russia has always been and will be an imperial formation), and not to replace it. The logical end of the Second Chechen War would be a large-scale administrative-territorial reform, with the complete elimination of the "titular" republics. It was also necessary to investigate all the crimes of 1990-s in the Chechen Republic, when an act of genocide of Russians occurred in it, with the almost complete liquidation of the Russian presence in Chechnya.

However, the federal authorities took a more flexible path. Like, territorial integrity is preserved, and good. The strategic consequences of this step are very sad. The Chechen Republic actually fell out of the single legal field of Russia, it began to create a state entity based on Sharia. On the one hand, one could rejoice - Kadyrov does not allow the "underground" to play pranks, he maintains order in the republic. Compared with neighboring Dagestan and Ingushetia, in Chechnya is quite stable and safe. But in strategic terms, this is Russia's defeat. Moscow signed in its weakness, giving power to the Chechen leader.

Naturally, processes are gradually taking place in the Chechen Republic (and throughout the North Caucasus) that undermine Russia's national security, lead to its dismemberment, the growth of separatist, nationalist and Wahhabi tendencies. So, a significant event happened recently in Chechnya - the head of the republic unveiled a monument to the heroines of the fight against the troops of Yermolov. Many will say - so what? What's the big deal? The bottom line is that in a single state there should be single heroes, people who hold historical memory, national myths are built. For Russia, they are Svyatoslav, Alexander Nevsky, Dmitry Donskoy, Sergiy, Ivan the Terrible, Suvorov, Kutuzov, Yermolov ... When people begin to praise people who fought against the empire in ethnic state formations, they create their own national myths, this is a failure of the center's policy. A strategic mistake that leads to a new big blood in the future.

Similar "bells" can be noted in other regions, which according to the plans of Russia's external enemies, should lead to the launch of the "Syrian (Yugoslav) scenario" in the Russian Federation. Thus, in 2012, a proposal appeared to decorate Privokzalnaya Square in the capital of Tatarstan with a monument to the founder of the Kazan Khanate, Ulu Mohammed (1405-1445), who was noted for his predatory raids on the Russian principalities. This is a very dangerous trend. It's simple. There is a common, imperial ideology, program and development goal of Russia or each national region begins to build its historical myth. What myth will be developed in the national republics is understandable. We already know examples of the Baltic, Transcaucasian, Central Asian republics, Ukraine, where "Russian (Soviet) invaders" are to blame for all troubles. Even in Byelorussia, the myth of the “Grand Duchy of Lithuania and Russian”, which prevented the Moscow Principality from living, gradually began to be built.

At present, there is no nationwide ideology in Russia, and consumption growth cannot replace it. Naturally, a holy place is never empty. Strengthens its position radical Islam. In Kazan, they recall the "great khans." In Chechnya, they talk about the 300-year-old heroic confrontation of little Chechnya and Russia, about the struggle for "freedom", etc.

Monument in Chechnya

The head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, opened a memorial to the Chechens, who sacrificed themselves in battles with the Russian imperial troops during the Caucasian War. Let me remind you, in 1817 — 1864. there was a Caucasian war, during which the Russian army broke down the resistance of the mountain peoples of the northern slopes of the Main Caucasian Range, including the mountaineers of Chechnya and Dagestan. Thus, Russia has strengthened its military-strategic position, eliminated the raiding (predatory) system of the Highlanders, and pacified these territories. It is clear that war is war, rigidity and blood in war is a common thing. The main thing is that the overwhelming majority of the inhabitants of the region benefited from the establishment of peace and legality on these lands.

The monument, opened by the head of Chechnya, first appeared in the 1990 year. Then it was just a hill with several tombstones mounted on top. Since that time, it is constantly supplemented. The last but one reconstruction took place in 2009. In the summer of 2013, at the initiative of the head of the republic, a major overhaul of the structure was carried out. Memorial "Dadi-Yurt" is a composition in the form of a mountain range, in the middle of which rises the Chechen military tower. The monument is highlighted, a bridge leads to it through a channel, the territory around it is refined, lampposts are installed.

The memorial to the victims of the tragedy in the village of Dadi-Yurt in the Gudermes district, according to Chechen researchers, is located on the site where it was destroyed by the order of General A.P. Yermolov village of the same name. 14 September 1819, a detachment of Major General Vasily Sysoev consisting of six companies of the Kabardian Regiment and several hundred Cossacks approached the village of Dadi-Yurt. The reason for the punitive expedition was a raid in which Chechens hijacked a herd of horses from one of the regiments of the Caucasian line. According to General Yermolov, this aul was chosen as the target of a punitive expedition, because the residents of Dadi-Yurt were engaged in robbery and grew rich due to raids on Cossack settlements. Sysoev suggested that the residents of the settlement leave their homes and retreat beyond Sunzha. But the mountaineers refused. Russian troops attacked the village. The fight was extremely fierce. With the help of guns, they broke down the fence, then stormed the houses surrounded by stone walls. In a fierce hand-to-hand fight, the defenders of the village were killed. Among the dead were many women and children. Many were killed by the heads of families themselves in order to save them from captivity. Others committed suicide themselves, or threw knives at the soldiers. 14 captured the wounded men, one hundred forty women and children who asked for mercy. The village was completely destroyed and no longer restored. According to Chechen historians, the next day, while crossing the 46 Terek, the captured Chechen girls, taking with them Russian soldiers, rushed into the turbulent river. The legend is beautiful, but dubious. Fragile girls drown healthy fighters of the Caucasian corps, having a long war experience?

In memory of this event, on the initiative of the head of the Chechen Republic, the Day of the Chechen woman was established, it is celebrated annually on the third Sunday of September. According to the first deputy head of the Department for Relations with Religious and Public Organizations of the Administration of the Head of Chechnya, Abdulla Istamulov, the opening of the memorial cannot in any way offend the feelings of the other citizens of Russia. Istamulov told the Vzglyad newspaper that this is not an anti-Russian act or a trial of rewriting history, the Chechens have the right to perpetuate their history. “This is a confirmation of historical fact as such. If Yermolov or someone else for someone in the country is to a certain extent heroes, then for others they may not be such, ”said the political scientist. According to him, “For three hundred years Chechnya opposed the Russian Empire only because of one thing - because of freedom, and freedom for a Chechen is an opportunity to practice their religion and follow their traditions. Today we have enough of this opportunity, it is beneficial for Chechens to live in Russia and Chechens love Russia. ”

However, not everyone in Russia agrees with this point of view. Many understand or feel that this is a threat. Thus, the Bureau of “Officers of Russia” addressed President Vladimir Putin with a proposal to respond to the opening in Chechnya of a memorial to Chechen women who died while defending the village of Dadi-Yurt by installing a monument to General Yermolov in Moscow. Pavel Pyatnitsky, a member of the Presidium of the “Officers of Russia” organization in Russia, called to recall what caused the storming of the village. The actions of the Russian troops was quite a common response to a predatory raid. Robber's nest was destroyed. At that time, Russia did not stand on ceremony with enemies and robbers; humanism and tolerance, which are now destroying the national states of Europe and the white race as a whole, were not yet in vogue.

Pyatnitsky considers the initiative of the head of Chechnya doubtful. He invited the Russian president to assess the actions of Kadyrov as the head of the Chechen Republic. A representative of a public organization that unites veterans, charities, sports-patriotic and human rights associations of the federal and regional level believes that the figure of Yermolov is quite comparable in value with Stolypin, whose monument stands near the Government House in Moscow. Therefore, the monument to A. P. Yermolov should stand in a place of honor in one of the capitals of Russia.

With Pyatnitsky difficult to disagree. Alexey Petrovich Ermolov received baptism of fire during the Polish campaign under the command of Alexander Suvorov. Distinguished in the storming of Warsaw. He participated in the Persian campaign 1796, distinguished himself during the storming of Derbent. Yermolov showed himself well in the anti-French campaigns 1805 and 1806-1807, distinguished himself in the battles of Austerlitz and at Preisish-Eylau. He returned to Russia with a reputation as one of the first artillerymen of the Russian army. During the Patriotic War, 1812, Yermolov distinguished himself in the battle of Borodino, where he beat Rayevsky's battery from the enemy and was injured. Yermolov played an important role in the battle of Maloyaroslavets, which forced the French army to turn to the old, already devastated path, which led to its catastrophe. In the battle of Kulm, Yermolov led the 1 Guards Division, and after injuring General Osterman-Tolstoy, he led the entire combined detachment. Guardsmen Yermolov saved the feat of the entire Allied army, ensuring the defeat of the enemy corps. Yermolov distinguished himself in the famous “Battle of the Nations” near Leipzig. In 1816, Lieutenant-General Yermolov headed the Separate Caucasian Corps, became manager of the Caucasus and Astrakhan. The "Proconsul of the Caucasus" rules them almost sovereignly, with a clear calculation, systematically, persistently and energetically carrying out his plan for reconciling the region. Ermolov was the Caucasian governor until the beginning of the Russian-Persian war, in 1827, he was replaced by Paskevich.

The hero of World War 1812, Foreign campaigns of the Russian army and the Caucasian war, a skilled manager Yermolov - is worthy of the memory of the Russian people.

Monuments against national heroes should not be erected in Russia!!! Using Ermolov’s methods, there would have been no Chechnya in the 2000s; in 95 everything would have been decided!

So, sometimes you wonder if the colonialists of America were right in slaughtering the Indians... And the Vainakhs and tribes of Dagestan are, perhaps, even more wild to this day... and they don’t even want to sit on their territory. And the places there in the Caucasus are beautiful, no worse than in the rocky mountains of America, where there were so many wild Indians...

Yeah, I didn’t expect that so many cheers-chauvinists live on this site. Those who do not know history, who do not know the simple fact that territories belonging to another ethnic group are annexed only by war or the threat of war. Vanechka thinks that his ancestors annexed hundreds of ethnic groups through simple persuasion. And that there were no bloody campaigns of conquest against the Chukchi, Chechens, Dagestanis, Uzbeks, Kyrgyz, Kazakhs, Tajiks, Turkmens, Buryats, Bashkirs, Tatars, etc.
Even entire nationalities were destroyed - for example, the Nogais. They really say - the winner is right, and we, like the vanquished, are now listening to Vanechek’s nonsense from the stove. We don’t need recognition from you - we just erect monuments to our brothers and sisters who, without sparing themselves, fought for our freedom, for our SURVIVAL. You there, I see, want to deprive the Chechens of the right to praise their heroes, to impose on them Ermak as a hero, or Suvorov - who certainly was a hero for Russia, but not for, say, the Tatars. Note that there was no word about isolation - they just wanted to honor the memory. With your rotten, greedy words, you awaken hatred in your vassals. Precisely, you will be to blame for the unrest and nationalism among the peoples under your control.

  Dear, don’t be like... Don’t call anyone “Vanya on the stoves”, etc. As I wrote above, NOBODY! of those called here, I quote: “savages, lumps, sheepYops, monkeys, beasts, wolves, jackals, etc., etc., did not switch to Nazi slogans against the Russians. The Russians are the titular nation in Russia and, first of all, it depends on whether the Russians can coping with your chauvinism (which is undoubtedly present in all nations without exception!) depends on whether Russia will be Great or will fall apart into manageable pieces like Yugoslavia. Interethnic tension is acute throughout the country, this is happening with complete inaction of the authorities. We are all watching how the state has withdrawn itself from the realities behind the doors of the offices. For some reason, all this reminds me of the US war against terrorism, i.e. they themselves created and cut dividends in the fight against it. So, in my opinion, with the national issue - start a disease, and then receive applause as a surgeon who removed the tumor... I remember our president every second inflated his ratings to unprecedented heights precisely with his “wet in the toilet”, etc. why not repeat it?! The recent mayoral elections in Moscow - a selection of shocking news on ethnic violence, and harsh measures of suppression - riot police raids, non-Russians are pulled out of their holes and thrown onto the asphalt... spectacular, for the delight of chauvinism... Only who allowed such an increase in this crime all these years, received kickbacks from the ethno brigades controlling the markets? There is only one answer: “they didn’t see, they didn’t know...”. As for those who switch to chauvinist slogans here, they are no better and their level of development is no greater than that of those monkeys who, with their behavior, disgrace their families, their nations, the entire Caucasus and all of Central Asia! I ask (adequate) Russians, of whom, thank God, there are a greater number, to understand that the bulk of these monkeys are white and fluffy at home, left their homeland for Moscow with the money collected by the whole family with great difficulty in order to get an education and become a human being. Or they went to work to feed their family. And most of them, contrary to popular belief, behave calmly and simply no one notices them.
  I have friends of friends (Russians in the nnth generation...), who belong to the concept of “golden youth”; their parents also wanted them a decent education and future and sent them to London. So believe me, their behavior there is absolutely no different from the “guests from the Caucasus”. In a group at the university (their two brothers, in total there are 10 Russians in the group, in total there are 20-30 Russians and Ukrainians communicating in the area) the British consider them the same Russian mafia, they play Russian chanson in the car and pester the girls on the first day upon their arrival, they drank vodka on a bench in the park, celebrated... a cop came up and asked him to stop drinking in the most tolerant manner, they answered “in Russian” and tried to pour vodka on him! ))

Considering all of the above, I suggest:
1. Don’t get on each other’s nerves again ;
2. Assign a new title to the young and hot: “mega-troll of the federal level for federal money”;
3. Reply asymmetrically in “anti-trolling” mode.
4. Don't be like. And don't feed them FOR! They (trolls) feed on exactly this (aggressively foamy-splashing) reaction.

It's a strategic mistake to assemble an empire! Well, what did Chechnya give to the Russians besides constant problems? Fence them off with barbed wire and let them live as they want. In 20 years they will ask. No, we still have to collect land, ruin people and spend financial resources when our own people live in poverty.

Ermolov A.P. supervised the construction of the Groznaya fortress in 1818. Only 4 monuments were erected to General Ermolov Alexei Petrovich in Russia: in Orel (2012), Pyatigorsk (2010), Mineralnye Vody (2008) and Stavropol (1998. Was also in Grozny - 1989 year, at the request of peaceful Chechen workers, the monument to Ermolov was peacefully “dismantled” (exploded).

Yeltsin granted independence to Chechnya after the first Chechen war. What ultimately happened, I think, is not worth explaining - the Chechens themselves created anarchy and chaos instead of the declared “Sharia state.” They knew the word “freedom”, but they had no idea what to do with it. And for old times’ sake we went into the neighboring republics.
Yes, cut off the cash flow from the budget to this Caucasus, if they so want freedom, let them try to feed themselves. We're used to freebies. And if they come again with their Wahhabis, evaporate them to hell, this is the only way they act against terror. Of course, this does not apply to normal and adequate representatives of the Chechen people; among them there are many smart and literate people. Kadyrov is not the whole of Chechnya, in my understanding.

The problem is that they will not live “behind the barb” due to their exorbitant interest in the neighboring republics. This has already happened. And don’t forget that the Caucasus is a strategic region for Russia. And simply “separating” without consequences will not work.

There is no contempt for the Russian people, because the Chechens are the same Russian people. I’m not a Chechen, I’m just a patriot of my country, and believe me, all this Nazi talk is not for the good of Russia, but completely the opposite. I am from Dagestan and I am Russian to the core. The fact that Kadyrov erected a monument is not against Russia, not against the murderers of Russians, but to those distant ancestors who sewed up their land at the cost of their lives. At that time, Chechnya and Dagestan were independent states. And now we, together with Russia, are ready to screw it up just like our ancestors did in their time. But this does not mean that we should forget our ancestors.

  Jamal, to be honest, I’m surprised and this is the first time I’ve heard this from a Russian. But the Russian Chechens have done too much evil for the Russians. And I pray to any God that a Russian president will come to power in Russia. The whole people are tired of this international (I mean only the North Caucasus) We need our Russian national state, 110 million of us. But it is only dreams. The Russians did not kill Chechen children in batches. Soon there will be no Russians, because we will completely dissolve and become (if they don’t cut off our heads) Russians. Belarusians, Ukrainians (Russians) - these are our brothers, they are our people. And if God exists, then he will definitely help us. Russians are the most "stuck" people, the entire USSR sat on the Russian's neck. And as soon as the power weakened, the Russians began to be slaughtered, just like in 17. The ethnic cleansing of the 90s in Chechnya is hell on earth, and the one who just recently massacred Russians now lives quietly and without disturbing anyone and runs the household, but they are ghouls and murderers, they should not live at all (especially in Russian state). God grant to Russia the Russian government, so that it does not separate the North Caucasus, this is our land, but present a 1000-fold count to the maniacs and murderers.

Or maybe leave Chechnya alone - there will be less “hemorrhea and headaches” for yourself!
Let them erect their own monuments, and let Russia have its own...
If Scotland is now separating from Great Britain, then there is nothing to say about Chechnya.
If this is not done, there will be more than one war, terrorist attacks, etc...
There was a time to scatter stones, now it is time to collect stones...
It’s worth thinking that because of this warring piece of land, which does not bring in real income, so much more blood will be shed, but other than losses - nothing!

There is nothing surprising in what happened. The policy of our Jewish government is simple and clear. The principle has been known since ancient times, divide and conquer. The country is being stolen and sold off. Attention is diverted by pitting Russians against Tatars, Chechens against Ingush, etc. There has been no empire for a long time. Need I.V. Stalin.

  The authorities’ rhetoric about the brotherhood of Russians and Chechens is especially hypocritical (especially in a “brotherly way” they cut off the heads of 18-year-old Russian boys and killed children in Beslan). They have not yet answered for the genocide of Russians in the 90s, but our government is creating heaven on earth for them at the expense of the Russians. I looked if Dimon’s son-iPhone (even if he was a full-year old at that time) was there (of course, this is from the realm of fantasy, since Medvedev himself did not even serve in the army).

This is what needs to be done. Option one is to completely replace the entire ruling elite of Chechnya with people who are ready to defend the honor and memory of Russia and its heroes to the end. Never become liberal with any of the thinly disguised separatists like the current clique, our real enemies. It’s hard to put in place, in memory of our guys who washed themselves with blood, giving their lives to strangle these jackals who robbed and killed our elderly, women and children...
Option two is to completely remove all Russians from this hornet’s nest, with subsequent development and provision of jobs in their country. Close the borders, completely expel all this scum from the country, stop financial and energy flows to Chechnya.
If they want sovereignty, get it, sign it...
Otherwise, soon such “friendship” will pour out bloody tears for our people. Again, Russians will die on a land alien to them, and mafiosi will divide the profits behind our backs. How long can we step on the same rake?.. And a question arises latently in the soul: Isn’t everything that is happening now and will happen beneficial to those who sit under the ruby star??.....

I think there is no need to look for an enemy only in the Chechens... a small part of them are normal and educated who themselves do not want to live with their relatives, bandits, savages and criminals... but such is the mentality and laws of the mountain people that they cannot speak openly about it because they could be killed Yes, and they are afraid for their families, and the Chechens have wild satanic customs .. for us Orthodox, a lot of things are sinful, but we ourselves are guilty of this, drunkenness, drug addiction, prostitution, disrespect for elders .. a cheeky and shameful life is only for ours with the slogan I feel good , my hut is on the edge, and I don’t give a damn about the rest... and when trouble touches such Russian people, they are still fools surprised that no one helps them or stands up for them... HYPOCRITES PHARISEES!!! as the Lord Jesus Christ spoke about such people... you will look at yourself at your bestial state and selfishness towards your neighbor... and when you understand and correct yourself, you will help others, then God will not leave you either... for our godless life God allowed all these wars and the atrocities of ungodly Muslims, we must be Orthodox... and even more so soldiers of Christ... so that we can stand up for our Orthodox people and for the faith, even with weapons in hand, there is no sin when a person stands up against enemies for his neighbor and for the faith of Christ, An example of this is Dmitry Donskoy, Alexander Nevsky, Alexander SUvorov and many other holy warriors glorified by God and the church... they laid down their souls for the Faith, the Tsar and the Fatherland... now there is no Tsar, father... for our lack of faith and passion for material Western dirt and without With honor, the Lord allowed the Jewish yoke (Jews) to rule in the country... that is why the genocide of the Russian people is happening in their own country... we need faith in the people, prayer and repentance... this is what the Jews fear most of all, and that is why they do everything so that the people do not united and were hostile to each other... because Orthodoxy and God unite us... and then we are scary to everyone... that’s the disease of the people... and not in the Chechens or other bandits, it’s in ourselves.. as I wrote here, a resident of Gorozny, everything is correct... we ourselves allow ourselves to be humiliated, cut, killed, because we rely only on ourselves and do not want to help each other... we are afraid like vile cowards... but we need to be as strong as steel... and then at least they will run from us who, Chechens, Americans, Jews and all the enemies of the Russian people... so we ourselves are to blame!!!
