Komsomolskoye (Saadi-Kotar), Chechnya, March 6–24, 2000.

The Battle of Komsomolskoye was one of the bloodiest and most decisive engagements of the Second Chechen War, fought in March 2000.
Following the fall of Grozny, a large force of Chechen fighters led by field commander Ruslan Gelayev retreated into the rugged Caucasus mountains and seized Komsomolskoye, Gelayev's home village.
Russian federal forces quickly surrounded the village, trapping an estimated 1,000 to 1,500 rebels inside. What followed was a grueling, weeks-long siege characterized by intense street-by-street fighting, where Russian troops utilized heavy artillery, TOS-1 thermobaric rocket launchers, and massive airstrikes to systematically dismantle the insurgent positions.

The siege resulted in the near-total destruction of the village and catastrophic casualties, ending in a decisive victory for the Russian military.
By the time the battle concluded around March 24, 2000, hundreds of Chechen fighters had been killed, and hundreds more were captured or perished while attempting to break through the encirclement.

Though Gelayev and a small group of survivors managed to escape into the nearby forests, the battle effectively broke the back of the organized, large-scale rebel resistance in the lowlands, forcing the Chechen insurgency to permanently shift toward guerrilla warfare tactics and hit-and-run ambushes.
