....On January 9, 1996, Raduyev led the large-scale Kizlyar hostage taking raid into neighbouring Russian region of Dagestan, where his men took at least 1,500 civilian hostages. The raid escalated into the all-out battle and ended with the complete destruction of the Dagestani border village of Pervomayskoye, and other Chechen leaders criticised Raduyev.[1]....
In early 1999, Raduyev underwent major plastic surgery in effect acquiring a new face; the alleged implants of titanium earned him the nickname of Titanic (he also became popularly known in Chechnya as "Michael Jackson").....
......Raduyev was tried on multiple charges including terrorism, banditry, hostage-taking, organization of murders and organization of illegal armed formations. In December of 2001 he was sentenced to life in prison.....
....In December 2002, Salman Raduyev died in the
