Leonid Vasilyevich Khabarov
Leonid Wassiljewitsch Chabarow ( Russian Леонид Васильевич Хабаров ; born May 8, 1947 in Schadrinsk ) is a former Soviet and Russian officer. He was a soldier in Afghanistan and a university professor.
Khabarov had campaigned against the government of Russian President Yeltsin and was an important critic of the former Russian Defense Minister Yuri Nikolayevich Baluyevsky-Anatoly Serdyukov and the Russian military reform. He is assigned to the Russian nationalists and was imprisoned until July 2, 2014, various supporters are campaigning for his release.
Military career
Khabarov became a celebrity in the Soviet Union as early as the 1970s, as he starred in a well-known Soviet Army promotional video in 1975.
His air strike battalion flew as the first unit of the Soviet army to cross the border with the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan in 1979 and after a 450 km march occupied the strategically important Salang Pass without loss, making Khabarov its first Soviet commander .
After his discharge from the armed forces, he headed the military chair at the Urals State Technical University from 1991 to 2010 . In 2011 he retired.
He was publicly critical of the former Defense Minister Anatoly Serdyukov , whom he characterized, among other things, not as a statesman, but as a state criminal. Serdyukov is controversial in his office because he is the first non-military in the position and because of profound interventions in procurement and organization.
Custody
19 September 2011 Chabarow was arrested and in custody taken. He sat in Yekaterinburg in prison no. 1 one because a "trial of the Organization of him armed uprising and the involvement of other people in terrorist activity" is accused.
In various cities of the Russian Federation and in front of the Russian diplomatic missions and consulates in the CIS countries , rallies were organized in support of Khabarov and protests against his arrest and the lengthy trial.
The SOVA Center assigns Khabarov to the right-wing nationalist re-establishment of the League of the Russian People (NOMP) and as its local leader in Voronezh . Sova reports that weapons were found near Khabarov, a fellow-arrested NOMP supporter, and the former criminal police officer Vladislav "Termite" Ladeishchikov had already been sentenced to a relatively mild prison sentence of 6 years.
Andrei Saweljew , Leonid Iwaschow , Alexei Dymowski , Maxim Kalashnikov and Irek Murtasin , among others , who did not belong to Khabarov's political camp, spoke out against the arrest . Colonel Vladislav Siomkowski made in an interview with the Public Post claims that the indictment quote alleged coup plans where Chabarow with a sudden power failure all regions want to paralyze would. This is similar to allegations of the show trials in the 1930s . Back then, such a power outage would have been shocking. In contrast, in modern Russia there is a constant power cut, the allegations are constructed.
Awards

After the fall of the Soviet Union, he received the Russian Order for Military Merit and a few other awards, some of which were due to the post-communist forces of the Russian constitutional crisis in 1993 .
