Biography
[edit]Mandre was born in 1865 in Surkhakhi, in Terek Oblast and was an ethnic Ingush. He became a sniper not because of his motives, but because of the circumstances of his life.
A revolution began in Tsarist Russia, a confrontation between the Reds and the Whites, a fire of revolution broke out throughout the Empire, and the regions of the North Caucasus were no exception.[7]
In 1919, the army of General Denikin came close to the Ingush village of Surkhot (Surkhakhi) and subjected it to powerful artillery shelling.[7]
The villagers put up fierce resistance. After a two-day battle, the surviving residents left the village and went to the mountains.[7]
At this time, Mandre remains in the village, armed with a rifle, pistol and binoculars. With him in the village (despite Mandre's persuasion to leave the village along with the retreating ones), his mother also remains.[7]
Mandre waged a guerrilla war against Russian troops for nine days. As a result, Ingush armed units came to Surkhakhi and liberated the village. Mandre's mother, who also refused to leave the captured village, was killed by an artillery shell.[7]
