To the death of Salman Raduyev


Chechen heroes are passing away... It looks like they are devoured, swallowed by a dark abyss. And the name of the abyss is Russia.

The old Guard of the Chechen Resistance is thinning out. Young growth, - the fighters who grew up in the Russian-Chechen war, who saw nothing in this life but this war, who know no mercy on the enemy, and who are moved solely by the feeling of just and holy revenge against the invaders, - are now replacing the old warriors. Just as a bright comet, Movsar Barayev swept over the black sky of bloody Russia, and he died, showing his personal courage and heroism of the entire Chechen nation to the entire world. Others will follow him - who are younger and even more ruthless and merciless. Russian aggressors will know no peace wherever they are - whether on the lands that they conquered or at their own home - until they get out of Chechnya that they have occupied.

Salman Raduyev was fighting with Russia till the end, without making any compromises with the murderers of his people. The Kremlin butchers could never make an «argument against Zakayev» out of the Chechen Commander. His life was an example of how you should fight against Russia. His death became an example of Russia's immense vileness and treachery, of its pathological lies and its criminal nature as a country, as a civilization and as a subject in the history. You can't believe its single word: after hypocritically «abolishing» capital punishment, it is just killing its inmates sentenced to life right inside the prison walls. The sadism of Russian fanatics in Chechnya and in Urals is the same - it cannot be cured by anything except for a grave, as a famous Russian proverb goes.

Salman Raduyev is a bright page in the heroic Chechen Resistance. He was a hero of the entire generation, and not only in Chechnya, but in Russia as well. His life and his death are the guarantee that imperial Russia will be annihilated, and Chechens and the rest of the occupied nations will finally be set free.
