Events in Volgodonsk

On the third day of our stay with Batchaev in Volgodonsk, Adam Dekkushev left somewhere in a car. After some time, he returned and reported that he had found a place where the KAMAZ could be moved. As I understood it, the parking spot Batchaev and I had chosen did not satisfy Adam because it was open and we had to pay for it.

Timur and I got into the KAMAZ and followed Dekkushev's 'Moskvich'. In this way, we reached one of the motor transport enterprises on the outskirts of Volgodonsk. I do not know exactly what kind of enterprise it was. There, we drove the vehicle inside and parked it near the entrance on the left side of the driveway.

Next, Dekkushev went somewhere and brought a goat. After that, he, I, and Timur Batchaev went to the dacha of the motor enterprise's watchman (a Russian, about 55-60 years old, short, of thin build, with grayish hair; I find it difficult to describe him in more detail and do not remember his name at the moment), which was located nearby — about a 5-minute walk. There, we prepared food from the goat and ate together with the watchman and his wife. During lunch, reports were shown on television about the explosion of a residential building in the city of Moscow, but I cannot remember exactly whether it was the first or the second explosion. Immediately after this, either Batchaev or Dekkushev said in Karachay that this was the work of 'our people'. I do not remember the entire conversation exactly, but from its context, I immediately understood that 'our people' meant Achimez Gochiyayev and all the others who took part in manufacturing the mixture in the village of Mirny.

After finishing lunch, we went to the car, and during further communication, I found out that we were also supposed to carry out an explosion. Dekkushev said that our target was the dam of the Tsimlyansk Reservoir. At that time, I was not told on whose instructions these explosions were being carried out. I realized that I was now heavily 'tied in' and forced to go to the end.
