Biography of Efentiev
He was actual military service in the Navy. Returning, he entered the Baku Higher Combined Arms Command School, after which he voluntarily asked to serve in Afghanistan. In Afghanistan, Alexei served as commander of the intelligence group up to a year. Then there were Azerbaijan and Nagorny Karabakh. From the year, Captain Alexei Efentiev is the chief of staff of a separate reconnaissance battalion in Germany.
Since the year of Efentiev in Chechnya. The unit that he commanded was one of the best and most combat -ready division of our troops. The call sign of Efentiev "Gyurza" was known throughout the republic. On his account are dozens of raids on the rear of the Dudaevtsev, the assault on Bamut and the Debobokada surrounded in the center of the Terrible Coordinating Center, when many the highest ranks of the army and the Ministry of Internal Affairs were saved, as well as a large group of Russian journalists.
For this feat in the year, Alexei Efentiev was presented to the rank of "Hero of Russia". He was awarded the orders of the Red Star, Courage, for Military Merit, two medals "For Military Merit", the medal "For the difference in military service of the 1st degree" and other awards. Efentiev was the hero of many television programs on the central TV channels, and also became the prototype of Gürze in the film by Alexander Nevzorov Purebiya.
The Serbian population of Kosova, who was subjected to gratitude, recalls Alexei Efentiev, who showed courage, protecting civilian citizens. So that the soldiers do not shy away from the shots, the commander is equipped with Kalashniks with combat cartridges and pours in bursts above the heads of subordinates.
If the staff finds out about such an original method, the officer will be put on trial. But other rules profess in Chechnya. To win, you have to be desperate and merciless here. The Chechen militants called this intelligence frantic so that they were not confused with the infantry, the special forces wore black dressings. This was a challenge, contempt for death, which hunted them on the heels.
They always went first and took the battle, even when the numerical superiority was not on their side. They could fight against forty and leave the battle with the winners. In April, under Belgatu, Romka machine gunner, shooting point blank, went to the firing point, like Alexander Matrosov. He, already killed, was pulled out of the battle by Kostya Mosalev, who then in the film “Cleaning” under the nickname of St.
Petersburg will lead Nevzorov. Через двадцать дней, как только затянется рана, Костя сбежит из госпиталя, чтобы успеть ко второй штурмовке Бамута. Former policeman, school teacher, grave, miner. Who was not in this frantic reconnaissance. Their, the war brought them together, like a kind of gambling game endlessly and the beginning. A strange thing - they were yearning for the house, but barely healed the wounds, they were drawn here again - to drag around the mountains, to share with another can of canned food, the last cartridge and their own life of Gürza: “I remember them all.
By names and surnames. Let them stay with me. To some extent, this is our common sin. But they were the best. I loved them and still love them. Even when they leave this life, no one takes their place. Someone came as standing nearby, like them, but no matter how their place is taken. Someone came, as standing next to you, like them, but, as if, you do not take their place, the same legendary Gyurza.
Not at all like the cinematic image of the “special forces” in the Kevlar armor, which his author of the scandalous “purgatory” was released. This personnel - seven years. The troops of the group had just taken the bamut, the shootout had not yet faded, and the scouts stopped, not experiencing special joy from victory, because they lost Pashka - the second number of machine -gun calculation.
I am here recently, but I go with cotton, on. Over the past 7 days, the people shocked ... It’s a pity that only the ladies lost ... Then, in M, Alexei only accepted the Army Intelligence company, which became the meaning of his life, his fate. Soon, the call sign “Gyurza” knew in Chechnya everyone - both ours and the militants who appointed considerable money for his head.
Even in Afghanistan, he was nicknamed “Lesha - the Golden Hoof” for the fact that where he drove his group, there were never losses on our part. The legends were added to his supernatural sense of danger in Chechnya - in his seventh war in a row. In a second, he could determine the place where a mine or shell would fly. He could take a bottle of champagne to the mountains to give a soldier on his birthday.
I had a real man in my company - Petrovich, for me he was both a father and a faithful comrade ... Here he is - Petrovich on the frames, shot seven years ago in the vicinity of Bamut. From Smolensk I am. Do you think we are fighting here? And for what? Therefore, this scum for a long time had to burn out a hot iron. And there, in Moscow, democrats stubbornly shout that the Chechens are fighting for their land, that they are good ..?
Our fellow countryman Smolensky was mutilated beyond recognition, tortured, the skin was removed with shreds from the back. How to forgive them for this? There is no forgiveness to them. Such - men wise with life made up the backbone of his company. And in each he appreciated his character most.The real Russian character, which once-in childhood, read in the story of Alexei Tolstoy.
There was such a moment that we captured a Chechen, a militant, well, at first we wanted ... Well, as in wartime ... And several days have passed, Andrei himself, who was the most difficult towards them, says: “Come on, commander, let him let him go, that he is a bomb? Andryukha died at the hand of a sniper in Grozny - hitting the head. And there was a teacher, taught literature with Russian at school in the Bryansk region.
It’s a little hard for me to remember all this ... But just their character, burned by the winds of war, pops up like a real Russian character. At that moment, when we released this action movie - he was a young summer guy, at first he thought, maybe my son would regret such fiery roads. It seemed to me to some extent that I was also the father of this Chechen.
I was sincerely satisfied, putting my hand on my heart. I let him go and my fighters wished him not to fight in the future. He is in front of us in non -paying duty. I was simply shocked, frankly rejoiced that he was a real Russian character. Alexei showed the real nature in August, when Grozny was in the hands of militants who clamped the administrative buildings and a hotel with journalists.
Then Gyurze per day of continuous battles managed to release the passage to the coordination center without loss and bring people out of there. And then, when the exhausted scouts were ordered to get the infantry out of the ambush, the company suffered its most severe losses. Every second was wounded, every third died ... hard ... I even cried ... I will say that the BMP that I had, received 8 holes from a grenade launcher.
I lost my best people. It so happened ... Alexei was presented to the title of the hero, but the authorities wanted to forget about the shame of those days as soon as possible and this was lost in the Kremlin offices. Today it is bitter to remember that time. Because those who spared the war were not needed by the country. A special purpose company, which he made the best unit of the special forces of the Armed Forces, was disbanded on the eve of the Second Chechen campaign.
