The Chechen was presumably Turpal Ali Atgeriyev and the Russian was Colonel Ivan Alekseyevich "Alik" Savin, the commander of 131st Maikop Brigade. The rumour was that both were close friends... The Chechen was presumably Turpal Ali Atgeriyev and the Russian was Colonel Ivan Alekseyevich "Alik" Savin, the commander of 131st Maikop Brigade. The rumour was that both were close friends and served together in the Soviet Army during the Soviet-Afghan War (1979-1989). They unfortunately had to go against each other in the early stages of First Chechen War (1994-1996). Colonel Ivan "Alik" Savin along with his 1000 men of the 131st Maikop Brigade were killed during a 60 hours encirclement in Grozny, capital city of Chechnya. Only a dozen of them managed to escape under the darkness of night. Show more
