An excerpt characterizing Sharipov, Salizhan Shakirovich

- A? Right?.. what do you think, or leave? Or not?
- Would you like to turn back?
- Turn back, turn back! - Count Orlov suddenly said resolutely, looking at his watch, - it will be late, it will be quite light.
And the adjutant galloped through the forest after Grekov. When Grekov returned, Count Orlov Denisov, excited by this canceled attempt, and the vain expectation of infantry columns, which all did not show up, and the proximity of the enemy (all the people of his detachment experienced the same), decided to attack.
He commanded in a whisper: "Sit down!" Divided, baptized...
- With God blessing!
"Uraaaaa!" roared through the forest, and, one hundred after another, as if sleeping out of a bag, the Cossacks flew merrily with their darts at the ready, across the stream to the camp.
One desperate, frightened cry of the first Frenchman who saw the Cossacks - and all that was in the camp, undressed, half-awake, threw guns, rifles, horses and ran anywhere.
If the Cossacks pursued the French, not paying attention to what was behind and around them, they would have taken Murat and everything that was there. The bosses wanted it. But it was impossible to budge the Cossacks when they got to the booty and prisoners. Nobody listened to the commands. One thousand five hundred prisoners were immediately taken, thirty-eight guns, banners and, most importantly for the Cossacks, horses, saddles, blankets and various items. It was necessary to get along with all this, to seize the prisoners, guns, divide the booty, shout, even fight among themselves: the Cossacks took care of all this.
The French, no longer pursued, began to gradually come to their senses, gathered in teams and began to shoot. Orlov Denisov waited for all the columns and did not advance further.
Meanwhile, according to the disposition: “die erste Colonne marschiert” [the first column is coming (German)], etc., the infantry troops of the late columns, commanded by Benigsen and managed by Tol, made their way and, as always happens, came somewhere , but not where they were assigned. As always happens, people who went out cheerfully began to stop; displeasure was heard, a consciousness of confusion, they moved somewhere back. The galloping adjutants and generals shouted, got angry, quarreled, said that they were completely in the wrong place and were late, they scolded someone, etc., and finally, everyone waved their hand and went only to go somewhere. "We'll go somewhere!" And indeed, they came, but not there, and some went there, but they were so late that they came without any use, only to be shot at. Toll, who in this battle played the role of Weyrother in Austerlitz, diligently galloped from place to place and everywhere found everything upside down. So he rode on Baggovut's corps in the forest, when it was already completely light, and this corps should have been there long ago, with Orlov Denisov. Excited, upset by the failure and believing that someone was to blame for this, Toll jumped up to the corps commander and began to reproach him severely, saying that he should be shot for this. Baggovut, the old, fighting, calm general, also exhausted by all the stops, confusions, contradictions, to the surprise of everyone, completely contrary to his character, went into a rage and said unpleasant things to Tolya.
“I don’t want to take lessons from anyone, but I know how to die with my soldiers no worse than anyone else,” he said, and went forward with one division.
Entering the field under the French shots, the excited and brave Baggovut, not realizing whether his intervention now was useful or useless, and with one division, went straight and led his troops under the shots. Danger, cannonballs, bullets were just what he needed in his angry mood. One of the first bullets killed him, the next bullets killed many soldiers. And his division stood for some time useless under fire.

Meanwhile, another column was supposed to attack the French from the front, but Kutuzov was with this column. He knew well that nothing but confusion would come out of this battle, which had begun against his will, and, as far as it was in his power, held back the troops. He didn't move.
Kutuzov silently rode on his gray horse, lazily responding to proposals to attack.
“You have everything on your tongue to attack, but you don’t see that we don’t know how to make complex maneuvers,” he said to Miloradovich, who was asking to come forward.
- They didn’t know how to take Murat alive in the morning and arrive on time at the place: now there’s nothing to do! he replied to another.
When Kutuzov was informed that in the rear of the French, where, according to the reports of the Cossacks, there had been no one before, there were now two battalions of Poles, he glanced back at Yermolov (he had not spoken to him since yesterday).
- Here they ask for an offensive, they offer various projects, but as soon as you get down to business, nothing is ready, and the warned enemy takes his measures.
Yermolov screwed up his eyes and smiled slightly when he heard these words. He realized that the storm had passed for him and that Kutuzov would confine himself to this hint.
“He’s amused at my expense,” Yermolov said quietly, pushing Raevsky, who was standing beside him, with his knee.
Shortly thereafter, Yermolov moved forward to Kutuzov and respectfully reported:
“Time has not been lost, Your Grace, the enemy has not left. If you order to attack? And then the guards will not see the smoke.
Kutuzov did not say anything, but when he was informed that Murat's troops were retreating, he ordered an offensive; but every hundred steps he stopped for three-quarters of an hour.
The whole battle consisted only in what the Cossacks of Orlov Denisov did; the rest of the troops only lost a few hundred people in vain.
As a result of this battle, Kutuzov received a diamond badge, Benigsen also received diamonds and a hundred thousand rubles, others, according to their ranks, also received a lot of pleasant things, and after this battle, new changes were made in the headquarters.
“This is how we always do it, everything is upside down!” - Russian officers and generals said after the Battle of Tarutino, - just like they say now, making it feel that someone stupid is doing it upside down, but we would not have done it that way. But people who say this either do not know the business they are talking about, or deliberately deceive themselves. Every battle - Tarutino, Borodino, Austerlitz - everything is not carried out in the way that its stewards intended. This is an essential condition.
An innumerable number of free forces (for nowhere is a man more free than in a battle where life and death are at stake) influence the direction of the battle, and this direction can never be known in advance and never coincide with the direction of any one force.
If many, simultaneously and diversely directed forces act on some body, then the direction of movement of this body cannot coincide with any of the forces; but there will always be an average, shortest direction, that which in mechanics is expressed by the diagonal of the parallelogram of forces.
If in the descriptions of historians, especially French ones, we find that their wars and battles are carried out according to a predetermined plan, then the only conclusion that we can draw from this is that these descriptions are not correct.

Salizhan Sharipov, the first cosmonaut of Kyrgyzstan, categorically denied the opinion that, allegedly, the fugitive head of the Uzbek National Cultural Center named after Navoi in Jalal-Abad, Kadyrzhan Batyrov, rewrote his property in his name.

Astronaut Salizhan Sharipov could not get to the meeting of the President of Kyrgyzstan Atambaeva with representatives of the Kyrgyz diasporas in Moscow. Earlier, on February 18, speaking with Osh students, the head of state said that Kadyrzhan Batyrov, whom the authorities consider one of the perpetrators of the Osh tragedy, transferred all his property to Sharipov's name.

Cosmonaut Sharipov and Batyrov's wealth

The President of Kyrgyzstan, during his two-day official visit to Moscow, was able to find time to meet with representatives of the Kyrgyz diasporas from 42 regions of the Russian Federation. It was held on February 23 at the President Hotel in Moscow. We witnessed how cosmonaut Salizhan Sharipov could not get to this meeting, they did not let him in, because his name was not on the list.

Consul Aizhigit Buranov, who was also in this hotel, in an interview with Azattyk commented on the situation as follows: Salizhan Sharipov did not contact us in advance with a request to include him in the list, so he was not allowed in».

Myself Salizhan Sharipov told Azattyk that he contacted the organizer of the meeting in advance, but then his name was specifically deleted from the list:

- Yes, I applied in advance. But then they deleted it.

According to the cosmonaut, someone incorrectly informed the head of state about him, which caused a misunderstanding, so he wanted to meet with him to dispel all doubts.

Here is what the head of state said at a meeting with Osh students on February 18, mentioning the tragic events of 2010 and the role Kadyrzhan Batyrov, who is now hiding in one of the European countries:

– One part of Kadyrzhan Batyrov's property is registered in the name of cosmonaut Salizhan Sharipov. You know perfectly well who Sharipov ran after last year. For a man who wants to divide the country. It was the same in 2010. We must investigate and put everything in its place. Believe me.

The head of state also noted that those responsible for the June events will definitely be punished:

-Now there are various rumors that, they say, in 2010 Atambaev and a number of members of the Provisional Government drank tea with Batyrov at his house, and then organized these riots. I want to find out all the circumstances of this case to the end. I want to know who was actually at that dacha. Then you will open your eyes in surprise. It does not matter who it turns out to be, a former member of the Provisional Government or someone else. If Batyrov's representative took money from Salizhan Sharipov, how could he not understand who he was buying from? How to understand what promises he made? They probably want repetition.

The ties between Kadyrzhan Batyrov and Salizhan Sharipov were also discussed in Parliament by the Prosecutor General of Kyrgyzstan. But, without specifying what part of Batyrov's property was transferred to the cosmonaut.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Kyrgyz Republic refused to provide any information on this case until the end of all investigative measures. Here is what the Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs of the Kyrgyz Republic for the southern region told RFE/RL Kursan Asanov:

- I can not comment on the statements of politicians. I am not a politician, but just a specialist in the civil service. All will show time. When the investigation is over, you will be able to familiarize yourself with the circumstances of this case.

Search a woman...

Before that, in his interview to the Uzbek service of RFE/RL Kadyrzhan Batyrov confirmed that he had transferred part of the property to Sharipov's name.

The day before the initiation of a criminal case against Kadyrzhan Batyrov, on July 15, 2010, the wife of the fugitive Uzbek leader Karamat Batyrova sold a controlling stake in Dostuk OJSC to Salizhan Sharipov:

- After the conflict, there was talk that all my property would be transferred to the state. Then the people asked Salizhan Sharipov to take my Peoples' Friendship University and a private school under his wing. Then Sharipov talked to the authorities and bought everything. Otherwise, my property would either be taken away by the state, or by criminal groups, - Batyrov himself spoke.

In an interview with Azattyk Salizhan Sharipov categorically stated that nothing connects him with Kadyrzhan Batyrov:

- How could Batyrov give me his property? How? The fact that I bought the shares of Dostuk OJSC is true. In my opinion, each of us has the right to buy shares, especially since they were openly sold on the stock exchange.

According to the cosmonaut, the legal acquisition of Dostuk shares does not mean that " Batyrov rewrote his fortune to Sharipov". Salizhan Sharipov places particular emphasis on the fact that Kadyrzhan Batyrov is divorced from his wife Karamat, from which he has acquired shares since 1999.

Sharipov is not a labor migrant...

Summing up the results of his official visit to Moscow, President Atambaev in an interview with Azattyk, he once again confirmed that there is some information about Salizhan Sharipov:

- Kadyrzhan Batyrov is doing everything to save his fortune. First, he wrote it down to his wife, with whom he is allegedly divorced. Then she rewrites everything to Salizhan Sharipov. This is all confirmed by the documents of the General Prosecutor's Office, and not by Atambaev's words.

When asked why Salizhan Sharipov did not get to the meeting in Moscow, the head of state replied as follows:

- In my opinion, Salizhan Sharipov is not a labor migrant, but a citizen of Russia. I met with labor migrants to find out the real circumstances of their difficult life. Labor migrants do not attempt to transfer other people's shares to themselves.

Recall that by the decision of the Jalal-Abad city court Kadyrzhan Batyrov And Inom Abdurasulov were found guilty under the articles “Organization and participation in mass riots”, “Separatist activity” and “Incitement of national, racial, religious or inter-regional hatred” of the Criminal Code of the Kyrgyz Republic and sentenced to life imprisonment with confiscation of property and serving the sentence in a colony with a high security regime.

Also, the judgment Abdurakhman Abdullayev And Khalilzhan Khudaiberdiev sentenced to 20 years in prison with confiscation of property , Javlon Mirzakhojaev sentenced to 14 years in prison with confiscation of property, Mahamatrasul Abakzhanov sentenced to six years in a colony-settlement with a probationary period of three years.

BISHKEK, April 12 - Sputnik. On the day when Yuri Gagarin made the first space flight in the history of mankind, Cosmonautics Day is celebrated in Kyrgyzstan. In the world April 12, at the initiative of the UN General Assembly, was proclaimed the International Day of Human Space Flight.

Few people know that Kyrgyzstan has made a significant contribution to the development of the unknown. Sputnik decided to remind about the role of the republic in the conquest of space.

The first detachment of Soviet cosmonauts. Mars Rafikov in the second row, third (from left to right)

1. Kyrgyzstanis could be the first to fly into space

Mars Rafikov and Valentin Varlamov, the inhabitants of Jalal-Abad, could make the first flight into the unknown in the history of mankind. But by coincidence, they could not compete with Gagarin: Varlamov was injured and was suspended from flying, and Mars Rafikov did not fit due to ideological differences with the Soviet authorities.

2. The first alcoholic drink in space was Kyrgyz Balsam

Astronauts could not drink alcohol on land, at sea, or even in space. But the domestic balsam "Arashan" became the first alcoholic drink in history that legally got into space. However, the astronauts themselves later said that they still allowed themselves to sip something earthly alone with the Universe.

3.Kyrgyzstan harvester plowed the Moon

As part of the Union's program for the study of the moon, specialists from the former Institute of Automation were developing rockets and shuttles for spacecraft. So, the soil from the Earth's satellite was taken by a drilling device, which was designed and assembled by compatriots.

4. After weightlessness, Kyrgyzstan is the best place to recover

Our nature is so beautiful and unique that after the first flight into space, Yuri Gagarin was sent to rest and recuperate in the pearl of Kyrgyzstan. He stayed in Issyk-Kul for a month and was delighted.

5. Kyrgyzstani became the 88th person who went into space

Cosmonaut Salizhan Sharipov

Salizhan Sharipov, a native of the Osh region, is the only Kyrgyzstani who has conquered space. Its first flight took place in 1998 on the American ship Endeavor. The second he made as the commander of the Soyuz TMA-5 spacecraft and the flight engineer of the 10th main expedition to the International Space Station. During the flight, Sharipov twice went into outer space.

6. Kyrgyz song sounded in space

The Kyrgyz song "Zhyldyzduu zherdeshim" ("Star Countryman") was the first and so far the only one that was heard on the International Space Station. The composition is dedicated to Salizhan Sharipov, who was then in orbit. The composer and performer were Gulnara Toygonbayeva and Zhamilya Muratova, Kyalbek Urmanbetov worked on the lyrics.

Unfortunately, these facts are not taught in history classes in schools, but they can be read about freely on the Internet, all this is confirmed by the Academy of Sciences of Kyrgyzstan.
