Question: Specifically, what do you plead guilty to?

Answer: I plead guilty to participating in an illegal armed formation operating on the territory of the Chechen Republic, while I was armed with an AK-74 assault rifle with ammunition for it, that is, to the commission of crimes provided for by Part 2 of Art. 208 and Part 3 of Art. 222 of the UK RF.

In addition, I plead guilty to the fact that, as part of an organized group, I committed an act of terrorism — the bombing of a residential building on September 16, 1999, in the city of Volgodonsk, that is, to the commission of a crime provided for by Part 3 of Art. 205 of the UK RF. I want to clarify that initially I did not want to blow up a residential building, I did not want such grave consequences. When I met with Abu Umar in Chechnya at the end of August 1999, he told me that the explosive substance that Achimez Gochiyaev did not take should be taken to the cities of Rostov and Krasnodar and blown up there in the markets. According to him, this should be done so that Russia would not go to war in Chechnya, since at that time there were already combat clashes between the Russian Army and Khattab's militants in Dagestan. I did not want to blow up markets, because people could die in the process, and I did not want that. After returning from Chechnya from Abu Umar at the end of August 1999, I had a conversation with Timur Batchaev and Yusuf Krymshamkhalov; I told them that Abu Umar wanted us to blow up markets in the cities, but I did not want that. I suggested to Batchaev and Krymshamkhalov that it would be better to blow up
