I added the {{tl|Find sources}} template above for the Cyrillic spelling. But even with the greater volume of Russian coverage, it's pretty clear this is a . The only non-trivial articles about the man were within a few days of his surrender. Everything before or after that consists merely of passing mentions in books and articles about other subjects. His surrender doesn't seem to have been a particularly important event of the Second Chechen War so I'm not sure that's an appropriate merge target. Aside from that one event, it's also |verifiable that he was the head of the department of state security (http://www.kommersant.ru/doc.aspx?DocsID=87688&print=true) under Dzhokhar Dudayev in the Chechen Republic of Ichkeria back in 1994, but I'm not sure that qualifies him as passing . Maybe a mention of him in a list of governmental officials of Ichkeria would be appropriate
