Original Cyrillic name: Базуев Насрулдин (Маликов) — Born: 1948 — Date of death recorded by Memorial: 8 April 1995 — Location: Sharipova and Vygonnaya streets, Samashki — Memorial source record: Appendix 3, no. 20 — Case category: Wounded detainee killed the following day

Documented circumstances

Nasruldin Bazuev, also recorded under the family name Malikov, was born in 1948. Memorial’s independent investigation documents a two-day sequence ending with his death on 8 April 1995.

On the evening of 7 April, soldiers reportedly forced Nasruldin and other men sheltering in a building on Sharipova Street into a vehicle-repair pit and opened fire. He survived with gunshot wounds. Relatives moved him to another house where he could shelter.

On 8 April, according to Memorial’s testimony from a surviving family member, armed servicemen searched that house. Nasruldin and his daughter Raisa were injured by a grenade and then killed by gunfire. The report records that the bodies were burned. The case is discussed in the narrative section as well as Appendix 3, entry 20.

These acts are presented as Memorial’s documented findings based on witnesses, not as a final criminal judgment against an identified individual.

Related documented victims: Raisa Masaeva — Nasruldin’s daughter, killed in the same attack.
