Memorial case SAM-1995-V078 · Samashki, Chechnya · April 1995

Original Cyrillic name: Товсултанов Али Ахмедович · Born: 1944 · Recorded death: 7–8 April 1995 · Place: Stepnaya Street, Samashki · Memorial Appendix 3 no.: 78

Documented circumstances

Memorial records that Ali Tovsultanov was shot on a street during the night of 7–8 April 1995 and that his body was burned afterwards. The register refers to accounts from his wife, a relative and other local residents.

What the evidence does not establish

The date remains a two-day range in Memorial’s appendix. Ali Tovsultanov and Idebay Tovsultanov have the same family name, but their relationship is not established by the information cited here.

This is a source-based memorial record, not a judicial verdict. References to Russian military involvement summarise Memorial’s documented witness evidence. The transliteration is editorial and all explicit uncertainties are retained.
