The commander of the Russian Airborne Division was killed in Ukraine. He only commanded a few weeks
The memory corner dedicated to Szihabido was opened at High School No. 13 in Kaspijsk (pictured). His photos and materials about the military combat trail were placed here. At high school No. 3, extracurricular classes for students of grades 7-9 took place: the youth decorated the classroom with photos of the soldier, celebrated his memory with a minute of silence and lit “memory candles”. During the ceremony, students were read a speech of the Minister of Education of Dagestan. Shortly after the publication, the photo report from the school profile was removed.
The death of Szihabidow was also informed by the progress profiles on the Russian website Wkontakt. The community “For the Homeland and Airborne Army” wrote that the commander's farewell took place on Monday at the Moscow cemetery. Several journalists were honored by the colonel's memory.
76. The Guard Assault Division of the Airborne Aviation forces has been involved in the conflict with Ukraine since 2014. Her soldiers took part in the occupation of Crimea, and also fought in the Donetsk region. After the start of the full -size invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, it was the Pskov Division that stood in Bucza. Division soldiers were associated with acts of violence against local civilians.
On March 10, Putin was promoted to the former division commander, General-Major Sergei Czubarykin, as a commander of the Russian airborne forces, and in his place he appointed Szichabidów. A month later, the president praised the 76th Division, saying that “almost every day” he hears about her successes on the front. Then in Dagestan, where Szihabido comes from, billboards with his image began to appear, and schools began to force children to draw a portrait of an officer.
In front of Ukraine, Szihabidow took part in combat operations in South Ossetia and Syria. He was awarded three orders of courage and Suvorov, as well as medals “for courage” and “for merits for the homeland” of the first and second degree.
