Hi, welcome to my profile.
I mainly focus on posting stuff from late- and post-Soviet conflicts period. Sometimes I post some personal stuff but mainly you can expect cool photos from conflict's of the 1990's and 2000's.

During the assault on the White House the most important task of entering the building and arresting opposition leaders was given to Alpha Group and Vympel special units. Here's a thread about their actions based on a few interviews with event participants.

One of the most controversial formations that sided with the Parliament during Black October were militants of Russian National Unity party.
Here's a short thread about them and their activity during Black October.

Besides Alpha and Vympel there was another special unit acting in Moscow- Vityaz. Here's a thread about their actions and the events that took place on October 3rd at the Ostankino TV center.

So, because I have quite a few photos from Black October of just soldiers doing their soldiers things I had an idea how to utilize them- here's a short (and very non-professional, as per usual with me) thread about camo patterns used during Black October.

Alright, I made this same exact thread a few weeks ago but since then I have gathered a lot more information, pictures and (I like to believe at least) I gained a little bit more experience in making threads. So, here's a revisit to camo patterns during Black October.

October 4th 1993 was the final day of the confrontation between Boris Yeltsin and the Russian Parliament. After 13 days of tensions and clashes between police and protesters, army finally sided with Yeltsin and a plan to force Parliament to surrender was prepared.

Infantry, APCs, IFVs and tanks were supposed to fire on windows and upper floors of the building to try and break morale of the defenders or at least create confusion if that didn't work. In that case, Alpha Group and Vympel would assault the building.

However, there was a problem- neither of these formations was willing to fight citizens of their own nation. Gennady Zaytsev, commander of the Alpha Group, commander of Vympel and other high ranking officers were called to Kremlin at around 4.30 AM.

After the situation was explained to him and he learnt that deputies wanted to surrender he agreed to do so as well. To avoid a provocation or any incident, a cordon was made by Alpha and Vympel. Negotiators that resolved the conflict in a bloodless way weren't recognized at all.

But to no prevail, after a short speech none of the gathered officers were willing to carry out presidential orders. His final argument was a threat- if the formations won't fulfill their duties, they both would be disbanded. After that, he left the room.

Shortly before 4 PM, their BMP with number 021 rode in front of the White House. Actions of that group are told by Colonel himself. His plan of action was not to storm the Parliament but to try and negotiate with the defenders.

It was because of Mikhail Barsukov- Director of Main Administration of Protection (GUO, agency which Alpha and Vympel were part of) convinced Yeltsin to talk to officers of both formations and persuade them to take part in assault.

Unwillingly, officers returned to their units. The forces were divided into 2 teams, each with assigned BMP-2. First team was commanded by Lt. Col. Vladimir Keleksayev. They were tasked with entering the building from the side of Hotel "Ukraine" and Moscow river.

Governmental forces who supported Yeltsin weren't made up of just local troops. One of the groups that was sent to Moscow to deal with protests and restor order during Black October was group of Major Vladimir Yefimov. Here's a short thread based on his recollections.

He recalls that a few shots fell around them, but that those weren't fired from the White House. He said that those were coming from the side of buildings occupied by governmental. His only explanation was that someone was trying to cause an even bigger bloodshed.

On higher floors, they had to persuade a group of Soviet veterans that barricaded themselves to surrender. Despite high tensions, they managed to negotiate a surrender of all veterans. Neither of the 2 groups suffered any loses. Not in the White House, at least.

Sergeant announced to the defenders that Lt. Colonel of Alpha Group, unarmed, is coming to negotiate. At the entrance, they were met by General Makashov and Viktor Barannikov. They convinced them to be allowed to talk to the Parliament and explain the situation.

In the dark hall of White House, around 400 delegates were gathered around. Colonel told them that were ordered to take over the building but they weren't there to fight. He suggested that Parliament surrenders, as Yeltsin was focused on crushing the coup with brute force.

Eventually, delegates realized they're situation and agreed to surrender. Alpha and Vympel would disarm them and escort out of the building. Then, along with Barannikov they went up to the 5th floor where Rutskoy had his office.
