biography

According to unconfirmed information, Munayev served two years in the ranks of the limited contingent of Soviet troops in Afghanistan in the 1980s.

During the First Chechen War Munayev was the commander of the 1st Chechen attack battalion (named after Lemi Munayev) and at the same time the chief of police in Grozny with the rank of colonel. In the interwar years (1996-1999) he headed the Internal Affairs Department of the Zavodsk District of Grozny.

In 1999 Aslan appointed Maskhadov Munayev commander in chief of the Grozny military units. In the same year he was promoted to military commander of the Chechen Republic .

With the outbreak of the Second Chechen War , Munjaev assumed primary responsibility for the defense of the Chechen capital. During the Battle of Grozny, the units commanded by Munayev used targeted guerrilla tactics against Russian troops. Among other things, they organized ambush attacks, blew up the military vehicles and set mine explosions under the Russian lines.

After Munayev sustained serious injuries in one of the fighting in 2005, his colleagues helped him to flee abroad. He came to Denmark via Turkey and was granted political asylum there, and later even citizenship. He founded the socio-political movement "Free Caucasus ", at the same time acted as attorney general for the government of Ichkeria in exile.

War in Ukraine

After the outbreak of armed conflict with the pro-Russian separatists in eastern Ukraine, Munayev traveled to Ukraine and went to war with his battalion named after Jokhar Dudayev against the units of the internationally unrecognized People's Republic of Donetsk and Lugansk .

On the morning of February 1, 2015, Munayev was killed by a mortar fire during the Battle of Debaltseve near the Chornukhyn settlement . Shortly before his death, Munayev wanted to take on Ukrainian citizenship. He was buried in Dnipro .
