Life
Raduyev was born into the Gordaloy clan . During the early 1980s he was involved in the communist youth organization Komsomol and became its state chairman for the entire Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic of Checheno-Ingushetia . After graduating from school in Gudermes , Raduyev served in the Strategic Missile Forces of the Soviet Union in the Byelorussian Soviet Republic from 1985 to 1987 . There he became a member of the CPSU . After his discharge from military service, he studied economics.
Raduyev married the daughter of Djokhar Musayevich Dudayev , who took power in the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria in 1991 . In 1992, President Dudayev appointed his son-in-law Prefect of Gudermes.
In the First Chechen War Raduyev fought in the Battle of Grozni. In March 1995, Russian special forces tried to catch him. In January 1996, Raduyev led the attack on Kizlyar , which ended in a bloody hostage situation.
In the run-up to the Russian presidential elections in 1996, Raduyev openly called on all Chechen field commanders to carry out terrorist attacks in Russia. After Aslan Maskhadov was elected as the new president of the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria, Raduyev refused to accept his legitimacy and got into a conflict of interest with him. He confessed to all terrorist attacks on the territory of the Russian Federation between 1996 and 1997 and even claimed to have been the mastermind behind the failed attack on Georgian President Eduard Shevardnadze in February 1998.
In 1999 he received a new face through plastic surgery in Germany. In March 2000, the special unit "Wympel" of the Russian secret service arrested him at his home. In December 2001 he was sentenced to life imprisonment. In December 2002, he died of internal bleeding in the Solikamsk penal colony.
