In a trying time for the North Caucasus and all of Russia, he showed unparalleled courage and fortitude and made a great personal contribution to strengthening peace and harmony in the Republic and preserving the country's territorial integrity.
We will always remember this outstanding man of iron will, a true patriot and citizen.”
