Transporting the Mixture

After preparing part of the mixture from components brought by Dekkushev and Salekh, it filled the empty space of the shed at Zukhra Karabashova's house, and the question arose of moving it to another place.

I suggested transporting it to the same "Realbaza," where Dekkushev and I had previously brought granulated sugar from Erken-Shakhar. For this, I made an arrangement with my fellow villager Ruslan Magayev, who owned a KAMAZ truck.

• The vehicle was in a state of disrepair (the cabin was damaged and one or two windshields were missing).
• I suggested that we take his truck—load it with the cargo and drive it to a parking lot.
• Ruslan agreed, stating he didn't care where his truck would be parked (at home or in a parking lot).
• I additionally promised that his truck would be allowed through the GAI (traffic police) post at the entrance to the city of Kislovodsk, as I had many acquaintances in the GAI.

The Journey

Having loaded Magayev's truck with bags of the mixture, we left the settlement of Mirny. Dekkushev and I drove ahead in his "Moskvich."

• Adam and I arrived at the GAI post earlier and made an arrangement with one of the policemen at the post (I don't remember specifically with whom) to let Ruslan's truck through.
• We then went back, and on the way, I moved into the cabin of Magayev's KAMAZ.
• In it, I crossed the post without hindrance.
• The officer who let us through, as far as I remember, did not escort the vehicles further.

After arriving at "Realbaza," Dekkushev took a bag of sugar from those stored in the warehouse to him in his "Moskvich." I do not know exactly where he took it.

At "Realbaza," we parked the KAMAZ opposite the entrance gates with its front facing them.

• Either I or Adam boarded up the window at the front of the truck's box with boards and rubber so that the cargo wouldn't get wet.
• We then left.
• It seems we filled out some documents for the KAMAZ parking at the time, but I don't remember exactly which ones or how much we paid.

Appearance of Achimez Gochiyayev

During the process of making the mixture, Achimez Gochiyayev appeared at my house (I learned his real name later; he introduced himself to me as Murat).
