A policeman by vocation and profession, a Chechen by nationality and spirit, a great patriot of his republic, who has always stood for its unity with Russia - that's who Alkhanov Alu Dadashevich is. The biography of this figure is closely connected with both Moscow and Grozny. Both there and there he held important government positions. The post of President of the Chechen Republic became the highest.
Childhood
Alu Alkhanov was born on January 20, 1957 in a family of deported Chechens. Place of birth - Kazakh Soviet Socialist Republic, Taldy-Kurgan region, Kirovsky settlement. Literally a few days before the birth of Alu, the deportation order was canceled. And soon his parents moved to their homeland, settling in the city of Urus-Martan.
According to former classmates, Alkhanov studied well at school, but most of all he loved history. He didn't even have to write anything during this lesson. The textbook was rarely seen in itshands. But the boy knew the subject remarkably well, literally absorbing everything told by the teachers like a sponge. He also loved to read.
Alu grew up quite a serious, sensitive and caring guy. But sometimes he was not averse to making fun of teachers. He played the trumpet in the school orchestra, went in for sports. Among his hobbies are freestyle wrestling, judo, sambo. In general, young Alu Alkhanov was an excellent example of a comprehensively developed and promising child.
Education and early career
After school, Alkhanov was drafted into the army. He had a chance to serve in the Southern Group of Forces stationed on the territory of Hungary. After demobilization, the young man enters the Mogilev school of transport police, after which he begins his career as a law enforcement officer. The first step on the career ladder was the position of an ordinary guard at the Grozny airport. Alu Alkhanov then fought organized crime in Nalchik. In the service he showed great zeal and diligence, which did not go unnoticed by his superiors. Therefore, the young specialist was sent to study at the Higher School of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in Rostov. He graduated from it in 1994 with a red diploma, and after that he worked as head of the Grozny LUVD of the North Caucasian Department of Internal Affairs in transport.
War
When the war began, a difficult choice faced a policeman named Alu Alkhanov. His biography was closely connected with Chechnya and its inhabitants, many of whom advocated secession from Russia. But Alu Dadashevich himself held other views, which he declared openly. Myhe showed his position not in word, but in deed, by joining the federal troops. In one of the most difficult battles, on August 6, 1996, while defending the building of the Grozny LOVD besieged by separatists, Alkhanov was seriously wounded in the stomach. Only by a miracle then none of the personnel was killed. And the wounded head of the LUVD got to Rostov. He was saved by local doctors.
Since the power in Chechnya went to the supporter of independence Dzhokhar Dudayev, the hero of this article was forced to stay in the same place - on the territory of the Rostov region. But he did not sit idly by, taking an active part in the Chechen counter-terrorist operation in 1999.
Work in Shakhty
In 1997, Alkhanov Alu Dadashevich became the new head of the Shakhty linear police department. At first, his subordinates were very wary of him - after all, he was a Chechen … You never know what's on your mind! But Alkhanov very quickly managed to win the trust of the personnel. He managed to organize the work of a department that had not previously shined with indicators. In addition, the man rallied the team, constantly organizing joint leisure activities, and became a respected and beloved chef.
Today, three years of work under the leadership of Alu Dadashevich are remembered with warmth by many employees of the department. Alkhanov could not stay in Shakhty forever. He madly missed his native Chechnya. And as soon as the opportunity arose, he returned to the city of Grozny, dear to his heart, continuing to work in his native land.
After returning
After returning to his homeland in 2000, Alu Alkhanov again became the head of the transport police in Grozny. Three years later, he was appointed head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Chechnya. At the same time, he receives the shoulder straps of a major general from the hands of the President of the Chechen Republic, Akhmat Kadyrov. By the way, in 2004, Kadyrov died during an explosion at the Dynamo stadium in Grozny. Alu Dadashevich was also in this ill-fated place and was wounded. In general, during that period, attempts on his life were made repeatedly.
President of the Chechen Republic
After the death of Kadyrov Sr., the post of President of Chechnya was vacated. And the son of the deceased, Ramzan, said that he sees Alkhanov as a worthy successor to his father. This candidacy was supported by the Chechen diaspora.
The election campaign began, during which Alkhanov Alu Dadashevich promised to keep Chechnya within Russia, restore peace, develop the republic's economy, attracting private capital and giving the green light to small and medium-sized businesses, as well as come to grips with housing construction and the creation of workers places. As for the separatist formation of Chechnya-Ichkeria, headed by Aslan Maskhadov, the candidate admitted the possibility of negotiation processes. But later he took those words back.
On August 29, 2004, Alu Alkhanov became the new president of Chechnya. His photo flashed in the media. The Russians followed with interest the processes in the region, on the territory of which a war had recently flared up. Hadbe a very strong leader to restore everything. According to official data, 73.67 percent of voters cast their votes for Alkhanov. But international observers recorded a large number of falsifications and other violations.
Alu Dadasevic's performance as president has not met the expectations of many. Moreover, political scientists stated that de facto there is dual power in the republic. That is, the son of the deceased Akhmat Kadyrov, Ramzan, plays a huge role in Chechnya. Alkhanov resigned in 2007. And Putin signed it. I. Kadyrov became president. He is still the leader of the Chechen Republic and is successfully doing his job.
Deputy Minister of Justice
But Alu Dadashevich did not remain without work. In February 2007, Vladimir Vladimirovich appointed him Deputy Minister of Justice of the Russian Federation. In this post, Alkhanov took up the rights of juvenile delinquents, issues of foreign trade security and tariff and customs policy. He also evaluated the work of executive authorities at the federal and regional levels, being a member of the relevant commissions. The range of issues within its competence is extremely wide: from economics to science.
Alu Alkhanov: family and personal life
Alu Dadashevich's personal life is not diverse. It is similar to the life of the majority of believing Muslim Chechens. He is married. He is the father of two sons and a daughter. Alkhanov's wife, as is customary in Chechen families, devoted herself entirely to housekeeping and raising children. Friends about herthe former president of Chechnya are treated with respect and warmth. But there are different opinions about the ex-president himself. Some condemn, some praise. But you can’t blame Alkhanov for one thing for sure - he never supported the separatists, was against the war and stood up for the prosperity of Chechnya as part of the Russian Federation.
