He was brought by Abaev Khakim. From the conversation with the latter and Adam Dekkushev, I understood that this was our partner who would be distributing the goods in Moscow. He stayed with me for one or two days and then left. He spoke with me little and mostly on everyday topics. I did not see him again after that until my arrival in Chechnya.
Passport and Cargo Registration
One day, someone, but apparently Adam (since I communicated with him most often), asked me to get a fake passport in the name of an outsider. This was needed in order to register the cargo under it.
I went to an acquaintance of mine — an Armenian by nationality named Artur (his mother and brother live in Kislovodsk; he was in prison with my acquaintances — residents of Mirny, Akhmad Kochkarov and Magomed Karabashev, accused of an attempted rape).
At that time, he lived in Stavropol, in five-story buildings at the entrance to the city. I presented the problem to him, but he could not solve it.
Alternative Registration and Transport
Returning home (Artur came with me), I reported that nothing had worked out, and then someone suggested registering the cargo in Artur's own name.
Gochiyaev met with him but rejected this idea, as Artur's behavior did not inspire trust in people and could cause suspicion toward the cargo.
Next, the question arose about moving the prepared mixture to Moscow.
We worked through several options, however, through an acquaintance of mine who was a taxi driver (his name is unknown to me; he is Russian by nationality, usually stood at the entrance to Kislovodsk right behind the GAI post in his Volga-2410 or Moskvich-2141 car, previously worked as a long-haul trucker), I found a "Mercedes" vehicle that belonged to two drivers.
Dekkushev and I went to them that same day or the next, together with this taxi driver.
After talking with them, Adam reached an agreement, but I do not know what amount he paid them.
We agreed that the loading of their truck would take place at the "Kursovet" parking lot at the exit from the city of Kislovodsk, where it was parked.
