In later interviews, Taramov would claim he hired Basayev as a favor for a family friend, and that the latter was an ineffectual worker who would spend whole nights playing video games, sleep during the day, and had an obsession with Che Guevara.

Long after the war, Basayev praised the professionalism and courage of his Russian trainers in Abkhazia — praise that led some of his enemies in Grozny, even President Maskhadov, to later call him a " longtime GRU agent "

According to Basayev, the road to Beslan was cleared of roadblocks because the FSB planned to ambush the group later, believing the rebels ' aim was to seize the parliament of North Ossetia in Vladikavkaz.

Basayev defended the hostage-taking for giving " all Russians a first-hand insight into all the charms of the war unleashed by Russia and take it back to where it originated from " and said that his next " main goal will be destroying the enemy and exacting maximum damage " and " the next time, those who come won't make any demands, won't take hostages.

Basayev was said to be one of the last fighters to leave Shusha ( see Capture of Shusha ).

The Russian government newspaper Rossiyskaya Gazeta reported that Basayev was an agent of GRU, and another publication by journalist Boris Kagarlitsky said that " It is maintained, for example that Shamil Basayev and his brother Shirvani are long-standing GRU agents, and that all their activities were agreed, not with the radical Islamists, but with the generals sitting in the military intelligence offices.

In an interview with Echo Moskvy, in which she was discussing the 2008 South Ossetia War, Novodvorskaya said that Shamil Basayev was a democrat, given his support of Boris Yeltsin during the 1991 Soviet coup d ' état attempt and his participation in the government of Aslan Maskhadov in 1997, who had appointed Basayev Deputy Premier of the Ichkerian government.

Later, Basayev said there was also an alternative option: if President Putin submitted a letter of resignation, the hostage-takers would " release all the children and go back to Chechnya with others.

Basayev further said an FSB agent ( Khodov ) had been sent undercover to the rebels to persuade them to carry out an attack on a target in North Ossetia's capital, Vladikavkaz, and that the group was allowed to enter the region with ease because the FSB planned to capture them at their destination in Vladikavkaz.

Ironically, the two men ended up on opposite sides in the Chechen wars, during which Taramov sponsored a pro-Russian Chechen militia ( Sobaka magazine's dossier on Basayev reported that Taramov apparently equipped or " outfitted " this group of pro-Russian Chechens ; they were also known as " Shamil Hunters ").

In 1991, Basayev was directed by GRU agents, and he praised the Russian GRU's " professionalism " and " courage ", during his war against the Georgians.

It was then that Basayev began his long and notorious career as an insurgent — seeking to draw international attention to the crisis.

Rohan Gunaratna, has made allegations that Basayev, along other leading militants such as Ibn Al-Khattab and Walid have all had close relations with Osama bin Laden, and they have, in turn, set up terrorist camps in Chechnya.

Russian special forces had joined with the Chechens under Basayev to attack Georgia.

A GRU agent, Anton Surikov, had extensive connections with Basayev.

Russian military intelligence had ordered Basayev to support the Abkhaz.

The GRU had recruited Basayev when they saw him and the Chechens of Moscow stand for and defend Boris Yeltsin from the Communists, with Basayev and his Chechens attacking the Communists.

Most of the prominent past Chechen separatist leaders had died or been killed, including former president Aslan Maskhadov and leading warlord and terrorist attack mastermind Shamil Basayev.

Shortly following Maskhadov's death on 8 March 2005, the Chechen rebel council announced that Sadulayev had assumed Maskhadov's position, a move that was quickly endorsed by Shamil Basayev, the Chechens ' highest-profile guerrilla commander.

He had worked to eliminate terrorist violence and urged Basayev and other warlords to direct attacks on " legitimate targets " ( including law enforcement officials, federal troops and local civil servants and their offices ), and stressed that attacks on such targets should avoid injuring civilians.

His brother Han-Pashi had formerly served as bodyguard for Basayev.

He was possibly the militant known only as " Fantomas ", an ethnic Russian who served as a bodyguard to Shamil Basayev ).

Starting as a field commander in the Transcaucasus, Basayev led guerrilla campaigns against Russian forces for years, as well as launching mass-hostage takings of civilians, with his goal being the withdrawal of Russian soldiers from Chechnya.

According to some sources, Basayev moved to Azerbaijan in 1992, where he aided Azerbaijani forces in their unsuccessful war against Armenian fighters in the enclave of Nagorno-Karabakh.

Later in 1992, Basayev traveled to Abkhazia, a breakaway region of Georgia, to assist the local separatist movement against the Georgian government's attempts to regain control of the region — a conflict in which, ultimately, a minority of 93, 000 Abkhaz were successful in ethnically purging a majority of Georgians ( numbering some 250, 000 ) from the region.

Russian military intelligence turned a blind eye to the 1991 terrorist arrest warrant against Basayev to train him and his detachment in Abkhazia, and the Russians even helped direct Basayev's combat operations.

According to Azeri Colonel Azer Rustamov, in 1992, " hundreds of Chechen volunteers rendered us invaluable help in these battles led by Shamil Basayev and Salman Raduyev ".

Basayev identified him as " Col. Orstkhoyev ".

Looking back on this period ( in 1926 ) Milne observed that when he told his agent that he was going to write a detective story, he was told that what the country wanted from a " Punch humorist " was a humorous story ; when two years later he said he was writing nursery rhymes, his agent and publisher were convinced he should write another detective story ; and after another two years he was being told that writing a detective story would be in the worst of taste given the demand for children's books.
