Biography
editIn the Civil War of 1917-1923, Shataev took part in the hundred-day battles for Grozny and the capture of the Vedeno fortress. He later was involved in administrative and political work in the ChAO, ChI AO, and ChI ASSR. During the Great Purge, he was accused of organizing an armed uprising, was sentenced to death. The sentence was eventually commuted to imprisonment and Shataev was sent to the Gulag and tortured. In 1944, he was deported from the Caucasus.[1]
In the period of the Khrushchev Thaw, he advocated for the rehabilitation of the Vainakhs, their return from deportation, and the restoration of Checheno-Ingushetia. Together with Ingush writer Idris Bazorkin and Chechen linguist Iunus Desheriev, Shataev was a member of the Vainakh delegation that met with Anastas Mikoyan in the Kremlin in June 1956.[2] The meeting with Mikoyan eventually resulted in the creation by the government of the commission for the restoration of the Checheno-Ingush ASSR. Shataev became the first of the Chechens to achieve a mandate allowing him to visit his homeland after deportation. In his youth, he was friends with Abdurakhman Avtorkhanov and was his colleague. After the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991, Avtorkhanov often mentioned Magomed in his radio interviews as his friend.[3]
