Monument to Batchaev M.K.

Mudalif Batchaev was born in Verkhnyaya Teberda and graduated from the Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics of Moscow State University before the Great Patriotic War. After that, he worked as a teacher, and then became the director of the Uchkulan school. In 1941, he began working at the pedagogical institute and collaborated with the executive committee of the regional council in Mikoyan-Shakhar (Karachayevsk), striving to occupy a party position. In early 1942, he was sent to courses for command and political staff of the Red Army in Krasnodar. After completing his training, he was sent to the Southern Headquarters of the Partisan Movement in Sochi, where he became a reconnaissance commander. After the war, he became the First Secretary of the Uchkulan District Committee of the CPSU. In 1944, after the adoption of the law on mass treason to the Motherland by the Karachays during World War II, Mudalif Batchaev was sentenced to ten years for allegedly disagreeing with the decision of the Communist Party of the USSR and served seven years. After his release, he found relatives in Kyrgyzstan and got a job as a mathematics teacher at a local school at the Belovodsky Sugar Factory named after Stalin. In 1958, he returned to his homeland and became a professor of higher mathematics at KChGPI. Until the 1990s, a monument to V.I. Lenin stood in this place. Now, on the same pedestal, stands a monument to Mudalif Karakezovich Batchaev.
