Ugryumov German Alekseevich

Est socia mortis homini vita ingloria.

A person's inglorious life is equal to death.

Publius Sir. Maxims

Living the lives of my heroes, I thought for them.

Margarita Volina. Black romance

On June 1, 2001, a mournful obituary about the death of Hero of Russia German Alekseevich Ugryumov appeared in Moscow newspapers. To the majority of his fellow citizens of Russia, whom he served honestly, his name meant nothing. True, someone might remember that the name “Ugryumov” was mentioned in connection with the capture of Salman Raduev, and even earlier - in connection with Pasko’s “case”. For the admiral’s colleagues from the Federal Security Service, the name of German Ugryumov was and will remain sacred.

“On May 31, 2001, while performing military duty on the territory of the Chechen Republic, the deputy director - head of the Department for the Protection of the Constitutional System and the Fight against Terrorism of the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation, Vice Admiral, died suddenly UGRUMOV German Alekseevich.

G. A. Ugryumov was born in 1948 in Astrakhan. Since 1967, he has been a cadet at the Caspian Higher Naval School named after S. M. Kirov. Upon completion of training, he was sent to serve in the Caspian Flotilla.

Since 1975, G. A. Ugryumov served in the security agencies of the army, where his organizational abilities and leadership talent were fully demonstrated. In 1999, he was appointed to the position of first deputy head of the Department for the Protection of the Constitutional Order and Combating Terrorism, and since November 1999 - deputy director - head of the department.

G. A. Ugryumov made a great contribution to ensuring the security of the state and preserving its sovereignty. In January 2001, by Decree of the President of the Russian Federation, he was appointed head of the Regional Operational Headquarters in the North Caucasus. With his direct participation, special measures were developed and carried out as part of the counter-terrorism operation in the North Caucasus region, as a result of which leaders and active members of gangs were neutralized and hundreds of human lives were saved.

When performing official tasks, G. A. Ugryumov showed personal courage and heroism. He was distinguished by dedication to his work, deep specialized knowledge, exceptional demands on his subordinates, and the ability to work with people. These qualities, combined with extensive life and professional experience, allowed him to successfully manage complex and multilateral activities to protect the constitutional order and combat terrorism.

The merits of G. A. Ugryumov in ensuring state security were highly appreciated by the Motherland. He was awarded the title of Hero of the Russian Federation. He was awarded the Order of Military Merit, the Badge of Honor, and many medals.

The bright memory of German Alekseevich Ugryumov will forever remain in our hearts.

Board of the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation."

Just the day before, in the Kremlin, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a Decree conferring the rank of admiral on G. A. Ugryumov, so his colleagues, shocked by the sudden death of Ugryumov, did not have time to get their bearings. And in the mourning photograph of Ugryumov in vice-admiral's uniform, he did not have to wear three-star ones. The admiral’s wide chest is decorated with the Golden Star of the Hero of Russia, but he never put on the star and did not even have time to hold it in his hands: the star in the photo was scanned...

A strange grimace of fate: a sailor who died on the shore; Hero of Russia, who never wore an asterisk; an admiral who never wore admiral's shoulder straps... Maybe this is the pointing finger of fate that everything that Ugryumov was programmed to do, that he could still do, he did not have time to do...

Low bow to his friends and associates, without whom this book could not have happened.

Hero of Russia German Ugryumov died at a combat post in Khankala in 2001. He was the only admiral in the highest echelons of state security.

Because of his generosity of soul, his colleagues gave him the call sign "Ocean", which went with the impressive appearance of the admiral - tall, dense figure. But Ugryumov did not live up to his last name - he was the life of the party: he sang with a guitar, recited poetry by heart.

He began his military career in the Caspian Flotilla. And he returned to Baku again after graduating from the KGB Higher School. Two sons of German Alekseevich will be born here. And here he will almost lose his family, when they start slaughtering and burning Russians and Armenians alive on the streets of Azerbaijani cities. The city of Sumgait will be “famous” for the first pogroms, and then posters will appear in Baku: “Russians, don’t leave! We need slaves and prostitutes!”, “War of Armenia!”. The Russians, who managed to get to the airport in Baku, could not fly to Moscow - civilian planes were loaded with boxes of nails. The flower trade season has not been cancelled.

Then Ugryumov saved hundreds of families by organizing evacuation by military aircraft and by sea. But several years before the tragic events, he sent reports to Moscow that nationalist sentiments were brewing in Azerbaijan and that Turkish and Iranian intelligence services were working. But the center responded: Azerbaijan will sort it out themselves.

The crime understood everything

After the collapse of the USSR in 1991, Ugryumov was sent first to Novorossiysk and then to Vladivostok, where he had to communicate with local criminals. Bandit groups attacked officers in broad daylight. The target is a military weapon. “The father met one-on-one with representatives of criminals. And the attacks stopped. All stolen weapons were returned. He had a rare gift of persuasion. And he still could not allow women, children and the elderly to be insulted in his presence. Once, at the Vladivostok market, he saw a racketeer knock over a box of greens from an old woman - she did not pay him a bribe. He forced the extortionist to pick up the greenery and said that every day he would check how he was protecting his grandmother, he says Admiral's son Alexander. - My father went to serious meetings without security or weapons. But with a grenade. In Baku, when he was taking out women and children and had to meet with armed militants from the Popular Front of Azerbaijan, he took a grenade with him for the first time.”

Ugryumov never parted with a grenade in Chechnya either. In the late 90s, German Alekseevich was transferred from Vladivostok to Moscow to the central office of the FSB leadership. After the invasion of Chechen gangs into Dagestan and the start of the second Chechen campaign, Ugryumov was appointed head of the Regional Operational Headquarters in the North Caucasus. Under his command were “Alpha” and “Vym-pel”. He developed operations that led to the elimination of iconic militant commanders one after another. And one of them - Salman Raduev- managed to be taken alive. Ugryumov personally delivered Raduev to Moscow.

The militants promised a reward of $16 million for the admiral’s head. “Conversations were intercepted on air more than once in which terrorists were indignant that they again failed to blow up German Alekseevich, although he was under their noses,” AiF said. FSB reserve colonel Alexander Ladanyuk, who worked as an assistant to German Ugryumov for more than 10 years. “My father was saved by his rare professional intuition,” says Alexander Ugryumov. - Having already set off on the road, he often changed the route. Sometimes he later sent me to check the previous one. And it always turned out that there was either a landmine or an ambush. When he escorted Alpha or Vympel employees to another operation in Khankala, he made sure to make the sign of the cross over them. And I couldn’t find a place for myself until they returned.”

"Ocean" is bad

Colleagues, remembering German Alekseevich, unanimously repeat that he was a scout from God. In the most difficult situation, he made the only right decision. The way he could turn a seemingly hopeless situation around was admirable. “Whoever fights can lose, whoever doesn’t fight has already lost,” said Ugryumov.

The admiral never directed operations from his Moscow office. Always went to the place. This happened when a sailor on watch in the Northern Fleet, having shot his colleagues, barricaded himself in the torpedo compartment of a nuclear submarine. He threatened to blow up the nuclear-powered ship, which would lead to a terrible disaster. When the persuasion of his mother, who was urgently brought from St. Petersburg, did not work, Ugryumov came up with a combination that is still kept secret. Result: the insane sailor was eliminated, despite the fact that he was in a sealed torpedo compartment.

The liquidation of the criminal was a last resort for German Alekseevich. We must try to work with any terrorist - that was his credo. The admiral put the lives of civilians and soldiers first. Thanks to his agreements with the Chechen elders, the stronghold of the militants, the city of Gudermes, was bloodlessly taken. Ugryumov met with Akhmat Kadyrov, who then went over to the side of the federal troops. Only one fact speaks about the admiral’s attitude towards the Chechen people. “A month before his death, my father visited home. At a family council he asked if we would be against the adoption of a Chechen girl, a six-year-old orphan whom he met in Khankala. Of course we agreed. Then they tried to find this girl. Did not work out".

German Alekseevich passed away in his “office” (field trailer) in Khankala on May 31, 2001. “Ocean” is feeling bad,” they said over the radio. First aid was immediately provided by a doctor from Alpha. He “started” the admiral’s heart twice within 40 minutes, but it refused to work. After an autopsy, doctors discovered that the admiral, at 52 years old, had 7 scars on his heart from microinfarctions suffered on his legs. During his farewell to German Ugryumov, the President Vladimir Putin asked him widow Tatyana what you can do to help your family. “We should get a registration,” she said. The admiral did not earn any dachas or apartments. At the same time, even in the most crisis years, he managed to get housing for his subordinates. It was not for nothing that they called him “Father” behind his back. The family was provided with registration. And the admiral himself, despite his professional reticence, received a residence permit in the history of the Russian state - streets in Astrakhan, Novorossiysk, Grozny and Vladivostok were named after him. And the patrol boat “German Ugryumov” goes out to the sea that he loved so much.
