Oh... my review will be about the past "Sukhumi military enlistment office" of the USSR and the Abkhazian Republic of the 80s of the last century....In 1973. I was assigned to military service in the Sukhumi suburb of the village. Lower Echelons in one of the special units, open name 14098, for the party position: "Secretary of the Party Committee", in 1974 he was also elected a deputy of the local council... So, I attended all the meetings and meetings of the Government Regional Committee of the CPSU of Abkhazia.. But besides the open sources of this Republic, I also knew the closed sources... Well, first of all, our military unit housed the protection of the summer residence of the then Minister of Defense of the USSR, Marshal Grechko A.A. , The local population and the " Sukhumchans" knew all this...The Minister was "friendly" with the Head of the Sukhumi military enlistment office, General (in a "colonel" position by staff) - Chegolashvili Shalva Ilyich and another General - the Head of the Moscow military sanatorium MVO- Chikovani...(unfortunately, I do not remember his initials, I did not communicate with him ) Both were assigned "generals" by A. A. Grechko, and left "colonels" for others... The construction of this military sanatorium was supervised by Grechko A.A. I remember how, during one of the rounds of the sanatorium territory, I stopped my gaze at the monument with a fountain. where a man was holding a girl standing next to him by the hand... The minister introduced his vision: "Ah, it would not be better for a man to take a girl in his arms..."Everything that the Minister said was unquestioningly carried out... In 1974. Chikovani... having found himself "fallen" while on the balcony of the 4th floor of his own apartment).. This was how the death of a general from the official investigative bodies of the city was announced. I (at the request of Sh.I. Chegolashvili) participated in the funeral of this general...then his body was sent by plane to Tbilisi...
Two years later, in 1976, and Grechko A.A. himself will go to "heavenly rest", and in the same year, I will be transferred to service in one of the head units of our profile, first in the Moscow region, and then to Moscow... With Sukhumi connects me with a lot of the past, but now it's a different country... I will describe this in the reviews on other pages...
