As tears go by

// 16 Anastasya Kalashnikova

Sergei lit a cigarette. At the beginning of the second Chechen war or as it had been officially called the Counter-terrorist operations on the territories of the North Caucasian region, she killed the assassins of her mother. While they were sleeping, she put under their mattress hand-grenades. What a brave girl. She was just a kid but already a budding SpN. By the way, she had a sister. Found by some paratroopers, the two sisters were sent to Stavropol to live with their grandparents in a dacha in the woods overlooking the town. After the death of the grandparents, a natural death, they were sent to Chechnya in a Dom ribionka, an orphanage. Here they got into other troubles. Anastasya's sister was allegedly killed by an orderly. Anastasya burnt him, the man survived but lost a leg. Later, some bandits stormed the orphanage, allegedly headed by that man. Anastasya ran away. Spent time hiding in the forest, between the borders of Georgia, Ossetia, and Chechnya, surviving alone for months on the mountains, her refuge was inside an off-limits forest full of minefields. She was found by a SpN patrol headed by Cubays – what a happenstance -. That was not the first encounter between them: Cubays had been in Afghanistan with her father. Again, what a small world. He hauled her back to civilization, Moscow, Peter, but she was a rebel and ran away. He found her back. To keep her close, he told her that her father saved him in Afghanistan and died. That disclosure changes her. She went to study abroad and excelled in sports such as diving, climbing, parachuting, martial arts, and shooting.

One day, back in Russia for vacation, she asked Cubays she wanted to return to Chechnya. The small republic was still in chaos. Plainly she was able to handle herself, but Cubays asked her to take some military training, because the only way to go there safely it was as military and better if you were under the umbrella of Special forces. Since she was a professional swimmer, she began her training with the 561st OMRP in Parusnoye, Baltiysky district, in Kaliningrad Oblast. There, she specialized as "Vodolaz razvedchik" Reconnaissance diver. Moreover, she also got her Military Parachutist Wings. After a year of training with SpN, she was ready.

In Chechnya there were no seas or big waters, only rivers and lakes, but SpN training was fully-fledged so she had no problem to perform. She was put in a Reconnaissance Unit.

Sergei mumbled over that it mustn't had been easy for a woman to be accepted, but she was so successful that she became the commander of her unit after a few months.

During a raid, with Zapad soldiers, a mixture of Chechen-Russian troops working for the GRU, headed by Said-Magomed Kakiev, a legendary but ruthless commander with a glass eye, a severed nose and a titan skeleton, Something happened. She killed some of Kakiev's soldiers. She had recognized them as the group assaulting the orphanage years before and massacring everyone. However, one of them, named Iasbulatov, survived, ran away and being the cousin of an important figure in the new Chechen government aided by Russia, had her on a black list with her men. To avoid imprisonment and death, she took a special ops: to get back a load of gold stolen by some Iasbulatov's ex-friends. She succeeded, but Iasbulatov was not satisfied and she was accused of massacring some innocent people. Crooked judges sentenced her guilty. She was dismissed from the Navy and sent to jail. She ran away.

Interpol, at the request of the Russian authorities, complied and issued a Red notice, a request to law enforcement worldwide to locate and provisionally arrest a person pending extradition, surrender, or similar legal action. Red notice were a very subtle request, because INTERPOL could not compel the law enforcement authorities of any country to arrest the subject of a Red Notice, but Each member country had to decide what legal value to give to a Red Notice and the authority of their law enforcement officers to make arrests. To be sure to have her arrested, her red notice was built in this way:
