Volodya Yakut. Volodya Yakut is the legendary sniper of the first Chechen war. Forgot black sniper

In the midst of the first Chechen war during fierce battles for the city, the Terrible Commander of the 8th Guards Corps General Lero Rokhlin reported that some strange guy was asking for him to headquarters, and even with an old rifle. Evenk Vladimir Maksimovich Kolotov from the distant Yakut yanger was the strange guy. It was a hunting Tulup, and with him carbine system of Mosina sample 1891, the German sniper sight of the World War II, passport and certificate from the military registration and enlistment office.

Vladimir told that he reached the Grozny himself. Once he saw on TV. Frames from Chechnya: Destroyed city killed Russian soldiers. Then he took Mosina carbine, with whom his father, and before that, grandfather went to Taiga on the fur beast, and went to the 8th building to the "Good General". Evenk said that he was confronted on the road with considerable difficulties: he was tried to detain him, return home, but everywhere he had a certificate from the military commissar that Vladimir goes to war volunteer.

General Rokhlin was very surprised by the story of Kolotova: In 1995, it was not easy to find a person who would go to hell to Grozny in his own accord. The shooter received a sniper and relying a regular rifle of Dragunov, but Evenk refused, saying that he would be more handy with his native "Mosinka".

Posha minute

It is known that snipers in modern War Do not act alone: \u200b\u200busually "works" a whole group that helps observer adjustments. Kolotov did not fit such a format, he walked on the hunt for the militants. Evenk asked only to ensure that military scouts once a day in the extentual cache left for him food, water and cartridges for a rifle, and he himself began to prepare ambushes "on the beast."

Russian radists had the opportunity to regularly listen to the militants' radio bears. Of these, the command learned what scary power An eighteen-year-old hunter from Yakutia has become: on the square of a minute he "removed" for fifteen, twenty, and then thirty militants. Sniper had a characteristic "handwriting" - all sacrifices were killed by an exact hit of the eye, as if the hunter wanted to preserve the valuable animal fur. The successes of Volodya Yakut, as he was called in the federal troops, deprived sleeping of Chechen commanders, because the arrows hit their goals even at night.

They say that valid awards were appointed for the head of Volodya: Aslan Maskhadov promised to the evevenka who killed the Evenka thirty thousand dollars, and Shamil Basayev - the star of the Chechnya hero. For the shooter chased a whole squad of militants, who found the "rookery" of the hunter, put the stretch marks. Despite the promised generous prizes, the game invariably won Volodya Yakut, leaving all hunters for his head with a neat bullet hole in the eye.

Duel

In order to destroy a lucky Russian, Master-Arab Abubakar called from the rifle training camp. He became famous as a good sniper in Afghanistan, where he fell on the task of Pakistani intelligence. Now Abbakar was to hunt for the Volodya Yakut in the ruins of Grozny with a powerful rifle made to order in the 1970s. Soon Arab managed to track the Russian arrow. Volodya was injured, but not fatal: the bullet hit his hand. Evenk decided to stop his fighters hunt for a while so that the rebel commanders believed that he was killed.

While "Mosinka" Volodya was silent, he diligently laid down Abubakara. Masters of disguise and street fight failed small weakness: Back in the 1980s, the Arab arrows were addicted to light smoking drugs, and now, even in a cold Grozny, could not refuse himself in this pleasure. It was according to an easy smoky Sumokvutka, Vladimir Kolotov identified where the "fanger" of Abubakra is located. When I had to leave my shelter for a while, the kills with the constant accuracy put the opponent in the eye.

In order to save the body of the mercenary of the rebel commanders sent several combat groups, but all sixteen militants were killed from the famous Karlabin. So the duel ended, according to its heat and entourage, resembling the confrontation between Vasily Zaitsev and SS SINCHER TERVALDA in Stalingrad at the end of 1942.

The path of legends

The day after a duel with Abubakar Volodya Yakut was among General Rokhlin. There he said that the two-month term for which he was released by a military commark, and now he needs to return home. The general, and without the heard about the victories, Volodya asked how many "animals" destroyed the hunter. Evenk replied that in less than two months he managed to kill 362 militants.

This figure ends the bulk of the legend of Volodya Yakut. City legend, as they are customary to call, was to appear in this difficult time when it was difficult to figure out who is right, and who is to blame. No evidence that Evenk Sniper Vladimir Maksimovich Kolotov existed in fact, no: other people depicted in photos, and in reports and reports the sniper does not appear under the present, nor under the "code" name. The legend also continues on the fact that Volodya Kolotov returned to his homeland continued to engage in fur clan and hardly worried the death of General Rokhlin, killed in July 1998, refused to carry the Order of courage.

The story of Volodya Yakut usually finish the beginning of the 2000s, when he was killed on his fishery unknown, allegedly bought information from the Russian special services about its location. Others argue that Vladimir Kolotov did not become a victim of hired killers, and receiving reception from President Dmitry Medvedev in 2009, handing gifts from his people. In confirmation of this version, the delegations of the delegation from Yakutia will even lead, however, it can hardly be considered a reliable evidence.

Much in the legend of Volodya Yakut can cause doubts: for example, how a man armed with a combat rifle got from Yakutia to Grozny, and then consisted from the existing army and quietly returned home? Yes, and the details of his confrontation with Abubakar very much resembles the struggle of Zaitsev and Torvald in Stalingrad.

Was Volodya Yakut in fact, or not, where he disappeared, it is difficult to say to reliably. One thing is unquestionably: in 1994-1995 there were people who are ready to courageously protect the calm of their country. All of them tells the legend of Volodya Yakut.


Fisherman-Cat, 18-year-old Yakut from long-range cable. It was necessary to happen that she came to Yakutsk for salt and cartridges, accidentally saw in the dining room on the TV pile of the corpses of Russian soldiers on the streets of Grozny, smoking tanks and some words about the "Sniper Dudayev". The Volodya crashed into the head, and so much that the hunter returned to the cereal, took his earned money, sold and scrambled Zolotishko. He took the grandfather rifle and all the cartridges, put the icon of Nicholas-wedliness behind the sinus and went to fight Yakut for the Russian case.

It's better not to remember how I was better not to remember how three times was sitting in the CPP, as a rifle was selected many times. But, after all, in a month, Yakut Volodya arrived in Grozny.

I heard Volodya only about one regularly fighting in Chechnya, and began to look for it in the February Rasolot. Finally, Yakut was lucky, and he reached the headquarters of General Rokhlin.
In addition to the passport, he had a handwritten certificate of the military commissar that Vladimir Kolotov, the Hunter-Springman in the profession, heading to the war, with the signature of the military commissar. A piece of paper that painted on the road, has already saved his life more than once.

Rokhlin, surprised by the fact that someone arrived at the war at his own desire, ordered to miss the Yakut to himself.

Volodya, squinting the flashing bulbs flashing from the generator, why his diagonal eyes broke up even more, in a bearish, sideways went to the basement of the old building, in which the general headquarters was located.
"Sorry, please, do you have that general Rokhl?" - Volodya asked respectfully.
- Yes, I am Rokhlin, - answered the tired general, inquisitively peering into man vertically challenged, dressed in the fiberglass, with a backpack and a rifle behind his back.
- Do you want a hunter?
- Thanks, Comrade General. Hot hot for three days. I will not refuse.
Volodya took out his iron mug from the backpack and handed it to General. Rokhlin himself poured him tea to the edges.
- I was told that you arrived at war on my own. What is the purpose of, rings?
- I saw on TV, like the Chechens of our from sniper flashes. I can not tolerate it, Comrade General. Ashamed, however. That came to throw them. No money, nothing needs. I, Comrade General Rokhl, I will go to the hunt for the night at night. Let me show the place where the cartridges and food will lay, and I will do the rest. Fit - after a week I will come, I will wash the warmth of the day and I will go again. Waiting and all this is not necessary ... It's hard.

Surprised Rokhlin snapped his head.
- Take, Volodya, at least a new speck. Give him a rifle!
- Do not, Comrade General, I go out with my oblique in the field. Only give the cartridges, I now have only 30 left ...

So Volodya began his war, sniper.

He got a day in the staff Kungakh, despite the mine shelling and terrible artilleryal. I took the cartridges, food, water and went to the first "hunt". In the headquarters forgotten. Only intelligence every three days regularly brought cartridges, food and, most importantly, water in an agreed place. Each time I was convinced that the parcel disappeared.

The first of Volodya remembered at the meeting of the headquarters of the radio interceptor.
- Lev Yakovlevich, from the "Chekhov" panic in the radio. It is said that the Russians, that is, we have a black sniper, which works at night, boldly walks along their territory and will be boldly their personnel. Maskhadov even prescribed 30 thousand dollars for his head. His handwriting is such - the Chechens accelerated in the eyes beats. Why only in the eye - the dog knows ...

And then the staff remembered the Yakut Volodya.
- Food and cartridges from the cache takes regularly, - reported the head of intelligence.
- And so we did not give up a word with him, did not even see any times. Well, how he left you then went on the other side ...
So, or otherwise, in the summary, they noted that our sniper their snipers also give the bite. Because Volodina, the work gave the results - from 16 to 30 people put the fisherman shot into the eyes.

Chechens smiled, which appeared on the square of the Russian Sprivor. And so, as on this area, all the events of those scary days, then calming the sniper came out a whole
Detachment of Chechen volunteers.

Then, in February 95th, for a minute of the "Feds", thanks to the cunning plan of Rochlin, there was already a grip of almost three-quarters of the personnel "Abkhaz" battalion Shamil Basayev. A considerable role played here and Carabin Yakut Volodya. Basayev promised the Golden Chechen star to the one who would bring the corpse of the Russian sniper. But nights passed in unsuccessful searches. Five volunteers walked along the advanced in the search for "Lena" Volodya, put stretch marks everywhere where he could appear in the direct visibility of his position. However, it was such a time when the groups and one and on the other hand broke through the defense of the enemy and deeply wedged into its territory. Sometimes it is so deep that there was no longer a chance to escape to your. But Volodya slept during the roofs and in the basements of houses. Chechen corpses - night "work" sniper - buried the next day.

Then, the Charter of Lose 20 people everybody, Basayev called from reserves in the Master of Wizard, teachers from the camp on the preparation of young shooters, Sniur-Arab Abubakara. Volodya and Abubakar could not not meet in night battle, these are the laws of the sniper war.

And they met in two weeks. More precisely, Abubakar hooked Volodya from the boil rifles. A powerful bullet who once killed the Soviet paratroopers once in Afghanistan at a distance of one and a half kilometers, squealed the pixel and slightly hooked his hand, slightly lowering the shoulder. Volodya, feeling the tide of the hot wave of the combined blood, realized that she finally began hunting and on him.

Buildings on the opposite side of the area, or rather their ruins merged in Volodyina optics into a single line. "What glistened, optics?", "The hunter thought, and he knew the cases when Sobat saw the scope in the sun and left the ravis. The place he chose was located under the roof of a five-story residential building. Snipers always love to be upstairs to see everything. And he lay under the roof - under the sheet of old tin, the wet snow rain did not urinate, which she walked, then stopped.

Abubakar dragged out Volodya only on the fifth night - Dailed on the pants. The fact is that Yakut's pants were ordinary, wadded. This is an American camouflage, which was carried by Chechens, soaked in a special composition, in it the form was invisible in the devices of night vision, and the domestic glowing bright gas lights. So Abubakar and "calculated" Yakut in the powerful night optics of his "Bura", made to order by English gunsmiths in the 70s.

One bullet was enough, Volodya rolled out from under the roof and hurt his back on the steps of the stairs. "The main thing, the rifle was not broken," thought sniper.

Well, then, duel, yes, Mr. chechen sniper! Said himself mentally without emotions Yakut.

Volodya specially stopped cheeking "Chechen orders". Neat row of 200s with his sniper "autograph" ended the eye. "Let believe that I am killed," Volodya decided.

He himself just did that he looked out where the enemy sniper was reached from him.

In two days, already during the day, he found "Lenhing" Abubakara. He was also lying under the roof, under the semicooched roofing sheet on the other side of the square. Volodya would not have noticed him if the Arab Sniper did not give a bad habit - he smoked an anasha. Once every two hours of Volodya traveled into optics a light blotty haze, rising above the roofing sheet and immediately worn by the wind.

"So I found you, Abreks! Without drugs you can not! Well ...", "Yakut hunter thought with the celebration, he did not know what she was dealing with the Arab sniper, passed and Abkhazia and Karabakh. But it's easy to kill him, sacheling the roofing sheet, Volodya did not want. Snipers were not so worked, but at the hunters on the forest - and doubt.

Well, okay, you smoke are lying, but you will have to get up in the toilet, "Volodya decided coldly and waited.

Only in three days he calculated that Abubakar crashes from under the sheet on the right side, and not to the left, quickly makes it possible and returns to the "Lena". To "get" the enemy Volodya had to change the shooting point at night. He could not do anything, any new roofing sheet will immediately give a new sniper position. But Volodya found two fallen logs from a rafter with a piece of felt a little right, meters fifty from their point. The location was beautiful for shooting, but very uncomfortable for the "Lena".

Two days later, Volodya looked out for a sniper, but he did not show up. Volodya has already decided that the enemy gone to us, when the next morning suddenly saw that he opened. Three seconds on aiming with a light exhalation, and the bullet went to the target. Abubakar was fighting in the right eye. He for some reason, against the blow of the bullet, fell from the roof the plafhmy into the street. Great fat stain Blood spread over the dirt on the area of \u200b\u200bthe Dudayevsky Palace, where he was a fighting one of the Arab Sniper Hunter Bulley.

"Well, I got you and got you," Volodya thought without any enthusiasm or joy. He realized that he had to continue his fight, showing a characteristic handwriting. To prove, thereby alive, and that the enemy did not kill him a few days ago.

Volodya peered into optics in the still body of the fighting opponent. Nearby he saw and "bob", which, he did not recognize, since she had not seen such rifles before. In short, a hunter of deaf taiga!

And here it was surprised: Chechens began to handle the open space to pick up the body of the sniper. Volodya aimed. Three came out, bent over the body.

"Let them raise and suffer, then and start shooting!" - Ceremony Volodya.

Chechens really raised the body. Three shots sounded. Three bodies fell on Dead Abubakara.

Another four Chechen volunteers jumped out of the ruins and, throwing the bodies of the comrades, tried to pull the sniper. From the side earned a Russian machine gun, but the queues lay a little higher, not harming the born Chechens.

"Eh, infantry mabuta! Only spend the cartridges ...", "Volodya thought.

They sounded four more shots, almost drained into one. Another four corpses have already formed a bunch.

Volodya killed 16 militants in the morning. He did not know that Basayev gave an order by anything to get the body of Arab before it starts to darken. He had to be sent to the mountains to get buried there before sunrise, as an important and honorable Mujahed.

In the day of Volodya returned to Rokhlin headquarters. The general immediately accepted him as an expensive guest. The message about the duel of two snipers has already shielded the army.

Well, how are you, Volodya, tired? Do you want home?
Volodya burned his hands at the "bourgear".

Everything, Comrade General, has fulfilled his work, it's time to go home. Spring work begins on the core. The military commander let me go only for two months. For me worked all this time my two junior Brother. It's time to know ...
Rokhlin snapped his head.

Take a good rifle, my note will issue documents ...
- Why, I have a grandfather. - Volodya lovingly hugged the old carbine.

The general did not resolve the question for a long time. But curiosity took the top.
- How much did you struggle the enemies, thought? They say more than a hundred ... Chechens talked.
Volodya raised his eyes.
- 362 people, Comrade General. Rokhlin, silently, patted the shoulder of Yakut.
- Go home, we will now cope ...
- Comrade General, if that, call me anew, I will deal with work and come for the second time!
On the face of Volodya read frank care for the whole Russian army.
- She will come!

The Order of the courage found Volodya Kolotov in six months. On this occasion, they celebrated all the collective farm, and the military regime allowed Snayper to go to Yakutsk to buy new boots - the old were tamed in Chechnya. It came on some glands hunter.

On the day, when the whole country learned about the death of General Lion Rochlin, Volodya also heard about the radio happened. He drank alcohol on borrowing three days. He was found drunk in the hut-time other hunters returned from fishing. Volodya, everything repeated drunk:
- Nothing, comrade General Rokhl, if we need to arrive, you just say ...

He was sipped in the nearest stream, but Volodya had no longer dressed his order of courage in humans.

Many significant events in the life of the state are often sheaven legends. There are mythical characters and in the first Chechen war. Among them - not knew the sniper Sniper Volodya Yakut.

There is a version that they were the real Russian shooter Vladimir Maksimovich Kolotov. By nationality, he allegedly was an Evencom or Yakut, and representatives of these nations are excellent hunters and arrows. Because of its origin, the sniper and received the call sign "Yakut".

Details of legends

According to the legend of Volodya, the Russian army distributed among the personnel of the Russian army was very young, only 18 years old. They say that he went to fight in Chechnya volunteer, and before that, allegedly asked for this "permission" from General Lion Rochlin. In the military unit of Volodya, Yakut chose Mosina Carabiner as a personal weapon, pose an optical sight for him for him to the second world - from the German Mauser 98K.

In general, Vladimir was distinguished by an amazing unpretentiousness and dedication. He literally plunged into the thick of the events. The only request from which Volodya Yakut turned to the soldiers of his part is to leave him food, water and cartridges in an agreed place. Sniper was famous for some fantastic elusiveness. Russian military learned about the place of its dislocation only from radio equipment.

The first place was the area in the city of Grozny called "minute". There, sniper shot separatists with astounding performance - up to 30 people per day. At the same time left something like a "corporate sign" on the killed. Volodya Yakut fell to the victim directly into the eyes, not leaving her a single chance for survival. Aslan Maskhadov promised to murder a considerable award, and Shamil Basayev is the Order of Chry.

There are mentions and the fact that the elusive Volodya Yakut was raised by the mercenary Basayev Abubakar. The latter managed to wander the Russian sniper in hand. Yakut stopped shooting in Chechens, misleading them about his death. A week later, the colobes avenged Basayevsky mercenary for his wound. Togo found dead in Grozny near the presidential palace. The Russian sniper did not calm down, destroying Abubakara. He continued to schedule the Chechens systematically, not giving them to bury the mercenary on the Muslim tradition before sunset.

After this operation, Yakut reported to the command that Killed 362 Chechen separatists, and then returned to the location of his part. Six months later, the sniper went home. He was awarded the Order. According to the main version of the legend after the murder of General Rokhlin Volodya, I went out in ack and lost my mind. Alternative versions contain the history of Sniper meeting with President Medvedev, also the details of the murder of Yakut by an unknown Chechen militant.

Real facts

There are no documentary evidence that could confirm the fact of existence real man With the name and surname, Vladimir Kolotov. There is also no evidence that the factory person was ever awarded the Order for courage. On the Internet you can find photos of the meeting of Volodya Yakut with Medvedev, but in fact, Sibiryak Vladimir Maksimov is captured.

In view of all these facts, you have to admit that the story of Volodya Yakut is a completely fictional legend. At the same time, it is impossible to deny that in the Russian army were - and there are similar snipers, and the same courageous people. Volodya Yakut embodies the collective image of all these fighters. His prototypes are those who fought in Chechnya Vasily Zaitsev, Fedor Okhlopkov and many other brave soldiers.

Also cause doubts some details of the legend: why the 18-year-old parenchy refused modern weapons in favor of the old rifle; As he was able to get to the meeting to General Rochlin, etc. All these moments indicate the fact of mythologization of the image of the Russian sniper. As the epic hero, he is attributed to supernatural abilities, unparalleled modesty and some kind of fantastic luck. Such heroes inspired Russian soldiers and inspired fear in the enemy.

Later legendary Sniper He became the hero of a number of artistic works. One of them is the story "I am Russian Warrior, published in the collection of Alexei Voronin in the 1995th. The legend applies both on the Internet in the form of all sorts of Army Bassen, told by "eyewitnesses."

The 18-year-old Yakut of Volodya from the long-reindeer cable was the fisherman - a chatter. It was necessary to such a thing that came to Yakutsk for salt and cartridges, accidentally saw in the dining room on the TV pile of the corpses of Russian soldiers on the streets of Grozny, smoking tanks and some words about the "Sniper Dudayev". Volodya crashed into the head, yes so much that the hunter returned to the cereal, took his earned money, sold and scratched Zolishko

I took the grandfather and all the cartridges, put the icon of Nicholas - the wretched icon and went to fight.

About how I was driving, it is better not to remember, about how I was sitting in the CPP, how many times was taken by a rifle. But, after all, in a month, Yakut Volodya arrived in Grozny.
I heard Volodya only about one regularly warning general, and began to look for it in the February Rasolo. Finally, Yakut was lucky, and he reached the headquarters of General Rokhlin.

In addition to the passport, he had a handwritten certificate of the military commissar that Vladimir Kolotov, the Hunter - Springmanship by Profession, heads to the war, with the signature of the military commissar. A piece of paper that painted on the road, has already saved his life more than once.

Rokhlin, surprised by the fact that someone arrived at war at his own desire, ordered to miss the Yakut to himself.
- Sorry, please, do you have that general Rokhl? - Volodya asked respectfully.
"Yes, I am Rokhlin," answered the tired general, inquisitively peering a small growth, dressed in the rubbed pixel, with a backpack and a rifle behind his back.
- I was told that you arrived at war on my own. What is the purpose of, rings?
- I saw on TV, like our terrorists from sniper valyat. I can not tolerate it, Comrade General. Ashamed, however. That came to throw them. No money, nothing needs. I, Comrade General Rokhl, I will go to the hunt for the night at night. Let me show the place where the cartridges and food will lay, and I will do the rest. Fit - after a week I will come, I will wash the warmth of the day and I will go again. Waiting and all this is not necessary ... It's hard.

Surprised Rokhlin head snapped.
- Take, Volodya, at least a new speck. Give him a rifle!
- Do not, Comrade General, I go out with my oblique in the field. Only give cartridges, I now have only 30 left ....

So Volodya began his war, sniper.

He got a day in the staff Kungakh, despite the mine shelling and terrible artilleryal. I took the cartridges, food, water and went to the first "hunt". In the headquarters forgot about him. Only intelligence every three days regularly brought cartridges, food and, most importantly, water in an agreed place. Each time I was convinced that the parcel disappeared.

The first of Volodya remembered at the meeting of the headquarters of the radio interceptor.
- Lev Yakovlevich, the opponent of panic in the radio. It is said that we have a certain black sniper, which works at night, boldly walks through their territory and their personnel is botherless. Maskhadov even prescribed 30 thousand dollars for his head. He is the handwriting of him - it hits this well done Bandyukov accurately in the eye. Why, attention, only in the eye - the dog knows ...

And then the staff remembered the Yakut Volodya.
- Food and cartridges from the cache takes regularly, - reported the head of intelligence.
- And so we did not give up a word with him, did not even see any times. Well, how he left you then went to the other side ....

So, or otherwise, in the summary, they noted that our sniper their snipers also give the bite. Because Volodina, the work gave the results - from 16 to 30 people put the fisherman shot into the eyes.

The terrorists decided that the federals appeared on the square of a minute of fisherman - a hunter. And as on this area, the basic events of those terrible days took place, then the whole detachment of volunteers came out to catch sniper.

Then, in February 95th, for a moment, thanks to the cunning plan of Rokhlin, our troops are already a grinding of almost three-quarters of the personnel. "Abkhaz" Shamil Basayev battalion. A considerable role played here and Carabin Yakut Volodya. Basayev promised the Golden Chechen star to the one who would bring the corpse of the Russian sniper. But nights passed in unsuccessful searches. Five volunteers walked along the advanced in the search for "Lena" Volodya, put stretch marks everywhere where he could appear in the direct visibility of his position. However, it was such a time when the groups and one and on the other hand broke through the defense of the enemy and deeply wedged into its territory. Sometimes it is so deep that there was no longer a chance to escape to your. But Volodya during the day under the roofs and in the basements of houses slept. Terrorist corpses - night "job" sniper - buried the next day.

Then, the charter of losing weightly 20 people, Basayev called from the reserves in the Masters of his business, teachers from the camp on the preparation of young shooters, Sniper - Arab Abubakara. Volodya and Abubakar could not not meet in night battle, these are the laws of the sniper war.

And they met in two weeks. More precisely, Abubakar hooked Volodya from the boil rifles. A powerful bullet who once killed the Soviet paratroopers once in Afghanistan at a distance of one and a half kilometers, squealed the pixel and slightly hooked his hand, slightly lowering the shoulder. Volodya, feeling a tide of a hot wave of combined blood, realized that she finally began to hunt and on him.

Buildings on the opposite side of the area, or rather, their ruins, merged into Volodya optics into a single line. "What shouted, optics?", "The hunter thought, and he knew the cases when Sobat saw an eye sparkling on the sun and left the ravis. The place he chose was located under the roof of a five-story residential building. Snipers always love to be upstairs to see everything. And he lay under the roof - under the sheet of old tin, the wet snow rain did not urinate, which she walked, then stopped.

One bullet was enough, Volodya rolled out from under the roof and hurt his back on the steps of the stairs. "The main thing, the rifle was not broken," thought sniper.
- Well, it means, duel, yes, Mr Sniper! Said himself mentally without emotions Yakut.

Volodya specially stopped cheating terrorists. Neat row of 200s with his sniper "autograph" ended the eye. "Let believe that I am killed," Volodya decided.

He himself just did that he looked out where the enemy sniper was reached from him.
In two days, already in the afternoon, he found "Lenhing" Abubakar. He was also lying under the roof, under the semicooched roofing sheet on the other side of the square. Volodya would not have noticed him if the Arab Sniper did not give a bad habit - he smoked an anasha. Once every two hours of Volodya captured an easy blotchy haze into optics, rising above the roofing sheet and immediately worn by the wind.

"So I found you! Without drugs you can not! Well ...", "the Yakut hunter thought with the celebration, he did not know what she was dealing with the Arab sniper, passed and Abkhazia, and Karabakh.

He for some reason, against the blow of the bullet, fell from the roof the plafhmy into the street. A large bold blood stain was spread over the dirt on the Dudayevsky Palace Square, where it was the battle of the Arab Sniper Hunter Pool.

"Well, I got you and got you," Volodya thought without any enthusiasm or joy. He realized that he had to continue his fight, showing a characteristic handwriting. To prove, thereby alive, and that the enemy did not kill him a few days ago.

Volodya in optics in the fixed body of the fastening enemy peered. Nearby he saw and "bob", which, he did not recognize, since she had not seen such rifles before. In short, a hunter of deaf taiga!

And here it was surprised: the militants began to crawl into an open place to pick up the body of the sniper. Volodya aimed. Three came out, bent over the body.
"Let them raise and suffer, then and begin to shoot!" - Celebious Volodya.

Militants really threesome body raised. Three shots sounded. Three bodies fell on Dead Abubakara.

Four more militants jumped out of the ruins and, throwing the bodies of his comrades, tried to pull the sniper. From the side earned a Russian machine gun, but the queues lay down a little higher, not harming the cut gangsters.

They sounded four more shots, almost sprinkling in one. Another four corpses have already formed a bunch.

Volodya killed 16 militants in the morning. He did not know that Basayev gave an order by anything to get the body of Arab before it starts to darken. He had to be sent to the mountains to get buried there before sunrise, as an important and honorable Mujahed.

In the day of Volodya, Rokhlin returned. The general immediately accepted him as an expensive guest. The message about the duel of two snipers has already shielded the army.
- Well, how are you, Volodya, tired? Do you want home?

Volodya's hands from the "bourgeitors".
"Everything, Comrade General, has fulfilled his work, it's time to go home." Spring work on the core begins. The military commander let me go only for two months. For me, my two younger brothers worked for me. It's time and honor ... to know.

Rokhlin snapped her head.
- Take a good rifle, my note will issue documents ....
- Why, I have a grandfather. - Volodya lovingly hugged the old carbine.

The general did not resolve the question for a long time. But the top took curiosity.
- How much did you struggle the enemies, thought? They say more than a hundred ... the militants have pronounced ....

Volodya's eyes high.
- 362 militant, comrade general.
- Well, go home, we will now handle themselves ....
- Comrade General, if that, call me anew, I will deal with work and come for the second time!

Frank concern about the entire Russian army was read on the face of Volodya.
- She will come!

The order of courage found Volodya Kolodov in six months. On this occasion, they celebrated all the collective farm, and the military regime allowed Snayper to go to Yakutsk to buy new boots - the old were tamed in Grozny. At some glands, the hunter came.

On the day, when the whole country learned about the death of General Lion Rochlin, Volodya also heard about the radio happened. He drank alcohol on borrowing three days. He was found drunk in the hut - attellor other hunters returned from the fishery. Volodya, everything repeated drunk:
"Nothing, comrade General Rokhlya, if we need to arrive, you just say ....

Genuine name Volodya - Yakut - Vladimir Maksimovich Kolotov, originally from the village of Iengra in Yakutia. However, he himself is not Yakut, but Evenk.

At the end of the first campaign, he was filmed in the hospital, and since he officially was officially and called him in any way - he just went home.

By the way, his combat account is most likely not exaggerated, but understood ... Especially since no one led the exact metering, and the sniper himself did not brag.

After serving Vladimir Kolotov to their homeland, the scams in the officers took his data to terrorists who were from where, where he left, etc., too large losses inflicted the unclean Sniper. Vladimir was killed by a shot of a 9-mm pistol in his yard, at that moment when the firewood was cut. The criminal case was never revealed ... "

Terrible during the first chechen war (In the background - Presidential Palace)

Volodya Yakut - Fiction russian sniperThe hero of the eponymous urban legend about the first Chechen war, which became famous for its high performance. The estimated real name is Vladimir Maksimovich Kolotov, although in legend it is called Volodya. By profession - a hunter-fisherman from Yakutia (Yakut or Evenk by nationality, known under the call sign "Yakut").

According to the legend, the 18-year-old Vladimir Kolotov arrived at the beginning of the war in Chechnya to the meeting to General L. Yohlin and expressed his desire to go to Chechnya as a volunteer, providing a passport and certificate from the military registration and enlistment office. As a weapon, Vladimir chose an old Mosina rifle with optical sight From the German Mauser 98K, abandoning the more powerful SVD and asking the soldiers only regularly in the cache to leave him cartridges, food and water reserves. From the following radiofervats, Russian radio officers learned that the rings acts in Grozny on the square of a minute, killing from 16 to 30 people per day, and all the dead were fixed to death in the eye. Shamil Basayev promised to award the orders of the Che HECH who kill Kolotov, and Aslan Maskhadov offered a cash reward. However, volunteers, despite the search for a sniper, died from his shots: So, the elimination of almost the entire personnel of the Abkhaz battalion of Basayev was attributed to the elimination of the entire personnel.

Soon Basayev caused ABUBACAR's Arab Educational Camp to help, an instructor for the training of shooters participating in the Georgian-Abkhaz and Karabakh wars. During one of the night shacks, Abubakar, armed with a British rifle "Lee-Enfield," wounded Kolotov in his hand, having tripped him in PNV (allegedly, Russian camouflage was visible to PNV, and Chechensky - no, since Chechens have soaked it with some secret composition) . The wounded kolotov decided to introduce Chechens to delusion about his death and stop shooting the militants, engaged in the search for Abubakara. A week later, Vladimir destroyed Abubakar near the presidential Palace of Grozny and then interrupted another 16 people who tried to carry the body of Arab and bury him to sunset. The next day, he returned to the headquarters and reported Rokhlin, which should have come home in the deadline (the military commander released that only for two months). In a conversation with Rokhlin Kolotov, he mentioned the 362 militants killed. Six months after returning to their homeland in Yakutia, the Kolotov was awarded the Order of Courage.

According to the "official" version, the legend ends with reference to the message of the murder of Rokhlin and the subsequent bay of Kolotov, from which he barely came out, even at a time having lost the reason, but since then refused to carry the Order of courage. There are also two other endings: for one version, the wheels were killed in 2000 by an unknown (probably - former Chechen militant), to which someone sold personal data of Kolotov; On the other, it remained to work by the hunter, and allegedly awarded a meeting with the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev in 2009.

The story called "Volodya-Sniper" was published in the collection of stories "I - Russian Warrior" Alexey Voronin in March 1995, and in September 2011 was laid out in the newspaper " Orthodox cross" The city legend was popular in the 1990s among the military and occupied his place in the list of "Strams" and other works of army folklore, but she began to actively extend on the Internet in 2011 and 2012, continuing to publish in subsequent years on different sites.

The fact of the existence of Vladimir Kolotov, who fought in Chechnya in fact (as well as the existence of the Arabian mercenary Abubakara) is not confirmed by any sources (including photographs that are depicted in the best of the historical reconstructors), and the documents on the award of Kolotov the Order of the courage not found . On the Internet there are photos described as a fragment of the meeting of Vladimir Kolotov with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev in 2009, but Vladimir Maximov is depicted on such photos; Another of the same photo shows a representative of one of the peoples of Siberia, holding the rifle of SVD, which turned out to be not Vladimir Kolotov, but a certain "batoch of Buryatia, from 21 Sofrin Brigade"

Summary of the Sniper 2: Tungus series:

The action of the military militant "Sniper 2: Tungus (mini-series)" occurs in 1943. Before the Soviet sabotage group, it is a responsible task - to capture important documents. For this scouts throw the enemy into the rear. The cover of them provides a group of sniper girls headed by a former hunter Mikhail Kononov in nicknamed Tungus. When performing the operation, the scouts stumbled upon an enemy ambush and were destroyed, and snipers were captured. Fascists let go of girls and arrange a real hunt for their footsteps. They do not know that at this time they begin to hunt the Tungus shooter.

Today, the story will be about the famous knife of the Northern Peoples of the Republic of Sakha.

Yakut knife

The history of the Yakut knife is hidden in the darkness of the centuries, there are no written or any significant evidence of this interesting and original tool. No explanation is preserved, why its form does not look like a form of similar knives or tools of other peoples.

Archaeological excavations conducted on the territory of modern Yakutia show that the samples of knives extracted from the early grains and parking of an ancient person have undoubted similarity with Yakutsk knives. This is really an ancient knife.

What was this northern knife?

And he was completely different due to its wide functionality, Yakutsk and knives have a very large range of sizes - from the smallest to very large. According to the style of manufacture and use, they are divided into 12 varieties. If you do not dive into all the subtleties of these forms, it can be conditionally divided by Yakuts into 3 categories:

Byhich is a small knife with a length of the blade from 8 to 11 cm, such a knife for children and women. However, there are a number of tasks to solve which a knife with a small size of the blade is easier, therefore it can be attributed to the rust of economic.

The following categories of goods are the most common universal knife, with a length of the blade from 11 to 17 cm.

In the third category, Yakut called Hotonokh - this guy has a clea length above 17 cm, which makes it a martial weapon. Such things are manufactured now quite rarely as in our time it is difficult for them to find application.

The classification of the Yakut knife plays its role and width of the blade.

If it is narrow, then it is believed to the tundra knives. So it's easier to cut something or do the hole in something that under the conditions of the tundra is primarily necessary.

The knife with a wider blade is called taiga. Such an Yakut is designed for cutting trophies or livestock, as well as for wood processing.

At long-standing traditions, the installation of Yakut is done so

the shank of the blade is planted in a birch suwel and tightly enshrined with two wooden wedges without using any sealants. And in addition on the knife, they make a bull tail with a bull tail that, when drying additional, tightens the handle. The sheaths are made as a handle from wood and also tighten with a bull tail.

By the way, traditionally, the sheaths are on the belt in front, and the blade put in them the cutting edge up.

It is also interesting that, just a few years ago, Yakutsk knives were interested in a few and even among the sophisticated knife, they were not particularly popular. But at one fine moment with them it happened about the same thing with spins - everything was talking about them.

Well, ok, everything was a little different)

Over time, these knives have become very and very quickly gaining popularity and today more and more masters throw almost all their strength on the production of exactly these Yakut knives. About the same thing was with NKVD

But nevertheless, let's deal with what is so good this rather strange Yakut knife.

Yes, it's just that knife, which in due time came up with the northern peoples. And he became the main survival tool for them, this knife was used on fishing, on the hunt and in general as a tool for working with wood and for any household tasks. You can say that this is Yakut vision universal knife For Bushkraft.

True, at that time, such words of course was not yet

In general, Yakut is everyday worker

The most interesting and unusual thing in this knife is of course the blade is asymmetrical, the volatile straight and smooth, and the blade is sharp. But the sharpening of the Yakut knife is made only on the one hand.

And here there are some disagreements - as the various Internet sources say, the knife turns on the side of the lenses, however, the masters who make Yakuts in accordance with the ancient traditions explain that it is necessary to accurately from the side of dollars.

First, it is much easier. And secondly, if you sharpening the side of the lenses, then the sharpening will reach the excavation in the blade and the knife will not be completely worked.

In any case, Yakut calmly sharpened any pebble in mutual conditions - it was undoubtedly a fundamental factor.

On the right side is Dol.

For the left, they did a knife with a share on the other hand.

It can have the most diverse shape, some masters prefer the recess almost to the entire area of \u200b\u200bthe blade, leaving a small edge near the course. And someone is limited to a small groove that is shifted closer to the handle, it is a notch called ESA.

More unknown for what it was done and there are many disputes and hypotheses

On one of the versions, this dollars inherited from his ancestors made of bone. In the bone cut in half, the dollars remained from the bone marrow and attended all the knives made according to this principle.

According to another version, such a dollars appeared as a result old technique Forging, which was used by the northern peoples.

According to the third version, such a dollars allowed to significantly save the metal of which was not so much. And many more versions.

But the main feature of such a knife is that having one-sided sharpening it is incredibly good in planing of wood, the manufacture of strikanic, freshness of animals and other daily tasks of that time.

And that the most interesting thing is perhaps the first knife in which actually did the role of blood flow

When cutting a carcass due to a large proportion, the contact knife with meat was minimal, which made it possible to work much faster, and the blood falls on the knife to the dollars. As far as true is, it is unknown, but they say that it was that way.

Among all other things, it significantly reduces the weight of the knife, and sought it so that the knife falling into the water does not go to the bottom

Yet knife was a very valuable subject that was used to survive every day and losing him very much.

At the end, it can be noted that in Yakut families, the child in 5 years received his first knife and the mother was not afraid that the child could be born. A small wound and some blood taught the baby to be careful and neat, which means rational. And the first knife was made specifically under the children's hand.

This is a real story

Video Forgotten Hero, Volodya Yakut Black Sniper Thunderstorm Chechen

Since its departure for a sniper position from Vladimir Kolotov, any news did not come to the location of the Russian army. Thanks to the efforts of the intelligence, he regularly replenished food and cartridges, but did not come across anyone. About a strange guy from the Yakut village even managed to forget.

News of Volodya arrived not from himself, but from the enemy. After some time, thanks to the intercepted negotiations, the Russian headquarters became aware of the militants. For Chechens, located in the area of \u200b\u200bthe square, a quiet life ended. Now night the night has become a pitch hell. So after that, they remembered the Russian military about the Evenka Hunter. The cause of panic Chechens was Vladimir Kolotov. Sniper was distinguished by his special handwriting - shot her eyes. Messages about deaths of militants came on a permanent basis, on average, about 15-30 people died over each night from the hand of a young hunter from the Yakut village.

In the desire to eliminate a dangerous sniper, the management of Chechen militants has promised his fighters a lot of money and high awards. So, in the headquarters of Maskhadov, Volodya was given $ 3,000,000. Shamil Basayev, in turn, promised to give the Golden Star to the one to kill the Metaging Arrow. This was due to the fact that the number of battalion of one of the leaders of Chechen militants, Vladimir Maksimovich Kolotov, was significantly sang. Sniper backed every night a huge damage of live strength. To neutralize the Evenka hunter, a whole detachment was sent, but his efforts were unsuccessful.

The 18-year-old Yakut of Volodya from the long-range cereal, there was a boat-codel. It was necessary to such a thing that came to Yakutsk for salt and cartridges, accidentally saw in the dining room on the TV pile of the corpses of Russian soldiers on the streets of Grozny, smoking tanks and some words about the "Sniper Dudayev". The Volodya crashed into the head, and so much that the hunter returned to the cereal, took his earned money, sold and scrambled Zolotishko. He took the grandfather rifle and all the cartridges, put the icon of the Nicholas-desirable for the sinus and went to fight.

About how I was driving, it is better not to remember, about how I was sitting in the CPP, how many times was taken by a rifle. But, after all, in a month, Yakut Volodya arrived in Grozny.
I heard Volodya only about one regularly fighting in Chechnya, and began to look for it in the February Rasolot. Finally, Yakut was lucky, and he reached the headquarters of General Rokhlin.

In addition to the passport, he had a handwritten certificate of the military commissar that Vladimir Kolotov, the Hunter-Springman in the profession, heading to the war, with the signature of the military commissar. A piece of paper that painted on the road, has already saved his life more than once.

Rokhlin, surprised by the fact that someone arrived at war at his own desire, ordered to miss the Yakut to himself.
"Sorry, please, do you have that general Rokhl?" - Volodya asked respectfully.
"Yes, I am Rokhlin," answered the tired general, inquisitively peering a small growth, dressed in the rubbed pixel, with a backpack and a rifle behind his back.
- I was told that you arrived at war on my own. What is the purpose of, rings?
- I saw on TV, like the Chechens of our from sniper flashes. I can not tolerate it, Comrade General. Ashamed, however. That came to throw them. No money, nothing needs. I, Comrade General Rokhl, I will go to the hunt for the night at night. Let me show the place where the cartridges and food will lay, and I will do the rest. Fit - after a week I will come, I will wash the warmth of the day and I will go again. Waiting and all this is not necessary ... It's hard.

Surprised Rokhlin snapped his head.
- Take, Volodya, at least a new speck. Give him a rifle!
- Do not, Comrade General, I go out with my oblique in the field. Only give the cartridges, I now have only 30 left ...

So Volodya began his war, sniper.

He got a day in the staff Kungakh, despite the mine shelling and terrible artilleryal. I took the cartridges, food, water and went to the first "hunt". In the headquarters forgot about him. Only intelligence every three days regularly brought cartridges, food and, most importantly, water in an agreed place. Each time I was convinced that the parcel disappeared.

The first of Volodya remembered at the meeting of the headquarters of the radio interceptor.
- Lev Yakovlevich, from the "Chekhov" panic in the radio. It is said that the Russians, that is, we have a black sniper, which works at night, boldly walks along their territory and will be boldly their personnel. Maskhadov even prescribed 30 thousand dollars for his head. His handwriting is such - the Chechens accelerated in the eyes beats. Why only in the eye - the dog knows ...

And then the staff remembered the Yakut Volodya.
- Food and cartridges from the cache takes regularly, - reported the head of intelligence.
- And so we did not give up a word with him, did not even see any times. Well, how he left you then went on the other side ...

So, or otherwise, in the summary, they noted that our sniper their snipers also give the bite. Because Volodina, the work gave the results - from 16 to 30 people put the fisherman shot into the eyes.

Chechens decided that the federals appeared on the square of a minute of fisherman-hunter. And as on this area, the main events of those terrible days took place, the whole detachment of Chechen volunteers came out to catch sniper.

Then, in February 95, for a moment, thanks to the cunning plan of Rochlin, our troops are already a grinding of almost three-quarters of the so-called. "Abkhaz" Shamil Basayev battalion. A considerable role played here and Carabin Yakut Volodya. Basayev promised the Golden Chechen star to the one who would bring the corpse of the Russian sniper. But nights passed in unsuccessful searches. Five volunteers walked along the advanced in the search for "Lena" Volodya, put stretch marks everywhere where he could appear in the direct visibility of his position. However, it was such a time when the groups and one and on the other hand broke through the defense of the enemy and deeply wedged into its territory. Sometimes it is so deep that there was no longer a chance to escape to your. But Volodya slept in day under the roofs and in the basements of houses. Chechen corpses - night "work" sniper - buried the next day.

Then, the charter of losing weightly 20 people, Basayev called from the reserves in the Masters of the Master of Business, Teachers from the Camp on the preparation of young shooters, Sniur-Arab Abubakara. Volodya and Abubakar could not not meet in night battle, these are the laws of the sniper war.

And they met in two weeks. More precisely, Abubakar hooked Volodya from the boil rifles. A powerful bullet who once killed the Soviet paratroopers once in Afghanistan at a distance of one and a half kilometers, squealed the pixel and slightly hooked his hand, slightly lowering the shoulder. Volodya, feeling the tide of the hot wave of the combined blood, realized that she finally began hunting and on him.

Buildings on the opposite side of the area, or rather their ruins, merged into Volodyina optics into a single line. "What flashed, optics?", "The hunter thought, and he knew cases when Sobat saw an eye on the sun and left the ravis. The place he chose was located under the roof of a five-story residential building. Snipers always love to be upstairs to see everything. And he lay under the roof - under the sheet of old tin, the wet snow rain did not urinate, which she walked, then stopped.

Abubakar dragged out Volodya only on the fifth night - Dailed on the pants. The fact is that Yakut's pants were ordinary, wadded. This is an American camouflage, which often wore Chechens, soaked in a special composition, in it the form was inadequately visible in the devices of night vision, and the domestic form glowed with bright glowing light. So Abubakar and "calculated" Yakut in the powerful night optics of his "Bura", made to order by English gunsmiths in the 70s.

One bullet was enough, Volodya rolled out from under the roof and hurt his back on the steps of the stairs. "The main thing, the rifle was not broken," thought sniper.
- Well, it means, a duel, yes, Mr. Chechen sniper! Said himself mentally without emotions Yakut.

Volodya specially stopped cheeking "Chechen orders". Neat row of 200s with his sniper "autograph" ended the eye. "Let believe that I am killed," Volodya decided.

He himself just did that he looked out where the enemy sniper was reached from him.
In two days, already in the afternoon, he found "Lenhing" Abubakar. He was also lying under the roof, under the semicooched roofing sheet on the other side of the square. Volodya would not have noticed him if the Arab Sniper did not give a bad habit - he smoked an anasha. Once every two hours of Volodya captured an easy blotchy haze into optics, rising above the roofing sheet and immediately worn by the wind.

"So I found you, Abreks! Without drugs, you can not! Well ...", "the Yakut hunter thought with the celebration, he did not know what she was dealing with the Arab sniper, passed and Abkhazia and Karabakh. But it's easy to kill him, sacheling the roofing sheet, Volodya did not want. Snipers were not so worked, but at the hunters on the forest - and doubt.
"Well, okay, you smoke you lying, but you will have to get up in the toilet," Volodya decided coldly and waited.

Only in three days he calculated that Abubakar crashes from under the sheet on the right side, and not to the left, quickly makes it possible and returns to the "Lena". To "get" the enemy Volodya had to change his position at night. He could not do anything, because any new roofing sheet will immediately give it a new location. But Volodya found two fallen logs from rafters with a piece of felt a little right, meters fifty from their point. The location was beautiful for shooting, but very uncomfortable for the "Lena". Two days later Volodya looked out for a sniper, but he did not show. Volodya has already decided that the enemy went to bewildered when the next morning suddenly saw that he opened. Three seconds on aiming with a light exhalation, and the bullet went to the target. Abubakar was the battle picked up in the right eye. He for some reason, against the blow of the bullet, fell from the roof the plafhmy into the street. A large bold blood stain was spread over the dirt on the Dudayevsky Palace Square, where it was the battle of the Arab Sniper Hunter Pool.

"Well, I got you and got you," Volodya thought without any enthusiasm or joy. He realized that he had to continue his fight, showing a characteristic handwriting. To prove, thereby alive, and that the enemy did not kill him a few days ago.

Volodya peered into optics in a fixed body of a fasten opponent. Nearby he saw and "bob", which, he did not recognize, since she had not seen such rifles before. In short, a hunter of deaf taiga!

And here it was surprised: Chechens began to handle the open space to pick up the body of the sniper. Volodya aimed. Three came out, bent over the body.
"Let them raise and suffer, then and start shooting!" - Ceremony Volodya.

Chechens are really threesome raised the body. Three shots sounded. Three bodies fell on Dead Abubakara.

Another four Chechen volunteers jumped out of the ruins and, throwing the bodies of the comrades, tried to pull the sniper. From the side earned a Russian machine gun, but the queues lay a little higher, not harming the born Chechens.

They sounded four more shots, almost sprinkling in one. Another four corpses have already formed a bunch.

Volodya killed 16 militants in the morning. He did not know that Basayev gave an order by anything to get the body of Arab before it starts to darken. He had to be sent to the mountains to get buried there before sunrise, as an important and honorable Mujahed.

In the day of Volodya returned to Rokhlin headquarters. The general immediately accepted him as an expensive guest. The message about the duel of two snipers has already shielded the army.
- Well, how are you, Volodya, tired? Do you want home?

Volodya burned his hands at the "bourgear".
"Everything, Comrade General, has fulfilled his work, it's time to go home." Spring work begins on the core. The military commander let me go only for two months. For me, my two younger brothers worked for me. It's time to know ...

Rokhlin snapped his head.
- Take a good rifle, my note will issue documents ...
- Why, I have a grandfather. - Volodya lovingly hugged the old carbine.

The general did not resolve the question for a long time. But curiosity took the top.
- How much did you struggle the enemies, thought? They say more than a hundred ... Chechens talked.

Volodya raised his eyes.
- 362 militant, comrade general.
- Well, go home, we will now handle themselves ...
- Comrade General, if that, call me anew, I will deal with work and come for the second time!

Frank concern about the entire Russian army was read on the face of Volodya.
- She will come!

The order of courage found Volodya Kolotov in six months. On this occasion, they celebrated all the collective farm, and the military commander allowed Snayper to go to Yakutsk to buy new boots - the old were tamed in Chechnya. It came on some glands hunter.

On the day, when the whole country learned about the death of General Lion Rochlin, Volodya also heard about the radio happened. He drank alcohol on borrowing three days. He was found drunk in the hut-time other hunters returned from fishing. Volodya, everything repeated drunk:
- Nothing, comrade General Rokhl, if we need to arrive, you just say ...

After departing Vladimir Kolotov to their homeland, the scams in the officers soldered his data from Chechen terrorists who were from where he left, etc. Already too big losses inflicted the unclean Yakut sniper.

Vladimir was killed by a shot of 9 mm. Pistol in my yard, at that moment when cutting firewood. The criminal case was not revealed.

The first Chechen war. How it all started.
***
For the first time, the legend of Volodya Sniper, or as it was also called - Yakuta (and the nickname is so textured that even moved to the famous television series about those days) I heard in the 95th. They told her to different frets, along with the legends about the eternal tank, the death girl and the other army folklore. Moreover, the most amazing thing is that in a story about Volodya-Sniper, an amazing way was traced almost to the alphabetic similarity from the Great Zaitaeva, who puts Hans in Stalingrad, Major, the head of the Berlin Sniper School. Honestly, I then perceived it as ... well, let's say how folklore is on a privala - and it was believed, and I could not believe. Then a lot of things were, as, however, and in any war, which would not believe, but it turns out to be true. Life is generally more difficult and unexpected any fiction.

Later, the year in 2003-2004 one of my friends and combat comrades told me that he personally knew this guy, and what he really was. Was that the most duel with Abubakar, and was there really such a supersnaper in Chekhov, to say to say - I don't know, they have enough serious snipers, and in the first campaign - especially. And it was serious, including the Yaara KSW, and Kashi (including prototypes in-94, which only went to prey, the spirits were already, and with the numbers of the first hundred - Pakhomych will not give to sit.
As they turned out to be a separate story, but nevertheless, such trunks had Czechs. Yes, and they themselves were semi-pedigurically, KSV did under Grozny.)

Volodya -Yakut really worked alone, worked exactly as described - in the eye. And his rifle was exactly the one that was told - the old Mosinian three-line of pre-revolutionary release, and also with a faceted venue and a long barrel - a infantry model of 1891.

Genuine name Volodya-Yakut - Vladimir Maksimovich Kolotov, originally from the village of Yengra in Yakutia. However, he himself is not Yakut, but Evenk.

At the end of the first campaign, he was filmed in the hospital, and since he officially was officially and called him in any way - he just went home.

By the way, his combat account is most likely not exaggerated and understood ... Especially since no one led the exact metering, and the sniper himself did not brag.

Rokhlin, Lev Yakovlevich

From December 1, 1994 to February 1995, he headed the 8th Guards Army Corps in Chechnya. Under his leadership, a number of areas of Grozny, including the Presidential Palace, were taken. On January 17, 1995, General Lev Rochlin and Ivan Babichev were appointed for contacts with Chechen field commander.

Murder General

On the night of July 2, July 3, 1998, he was found killed on his own dacha in the village of Klokovo Naro-Fominsky district of the Moscow region. According to the official version, his wife, Tamara Rokhlin, shot in Sleeping Rochlin, a family quarrel was called.

In November 2000, the Naro-Fominsky City Court recognized Tamar Rochlin the guilty of the intentional murder of his husband. In 2005, Tamara Rochlin appealed to the ECHR, complaining of a long sentence of preliminary conclusion and tightening trial. The complaint was satisfied with the award of monetary compensation (8000 euros). After a new consideration of the case, on November 29, 2005, the Naro-Fominsky Gorsud secondly admitted Rochlin the guilty of the murder of her husband and sentenced her to four years of imprisonment conditionally, appointing it a probation period of 2.5 years.

During the investigation of the murder in the forest belt, three burnt corpses were discovered not far from the crime scene. According to the official version, their death happened shortly before the Murder of General, and does not have a relationship. However, many Rokhlin's comrades believed that they were real killers who were eliminated by the special services of the Kremlin, "noted traces"

For participation in the Chechen campaign was presented to the Higher honorable rank Hero Russian FederationBut refused to accept this title, stating that "no moral right to receive this award for fighting in the territory of its country"
