DZHOKHAR DUDAYEV, IN MEMORIAM.

22 years ago, on April 21, the first President of the independent Chechen Republic of Ichkeria, an indestructible warrior and ardent Patriot, Dzhokhar Dudayev, was killed. The insidious action was carried out by the Russian military, led by former KGB operatives. They could not overcome the resistance of the free Chechen peoples by force and strength, so they decided to strike in a pinch.

The figure of Dzhokhar Dudayev appeared in times of crisis for the dying Soviet Union. While in Moscow, former and current communists gnawed for power, he was able to raise his people to a large-scale struggle for independence. It was Dzhokhar Dudayev who laid the spiritual foundation for his followers who for years had fought the Kremlin not for life but for death.

The indestructible faith of the leader of the Chechen nation in the victory still inspires more than one generation. It is the Chechen Dudayev's combatants who help modern Ukrainian nation defend the unity and independence of our country against a common enemy. Together we will win!

Rest in peace, Warrior! Eternal Glory to You, Dƶoxar!
