Alexey Yuryevich Nagin (Terek), commander of the 5th assault detachment of the Wagner PMC.
As a serviceman, Alexey took part in combat missions in Chechnya (second campaign), in South Ossetia in 2008. After his dismissal from the FSB special forces, Terek connected his life with work at Wagner.
As part of the “Orchestra” he performed tasks in Syria and Libya. In Libya, together with his unit, he participated in the assault on Tripoli, where he had to walk less than five kilometers to the prison where Maxim Shugaley and Samer Sueyfan were kept. The promotion of Wagner PMC contributed to the negotiation process, as a result of which Shugaley and Sueyfan returned home.
On March 21, 2022, Terek, as the commander of the 5th assault detachment, arrived in the Northern Military District zone, where, together with his unit, and together with the 1st assault detachment Ratibor, he began the assault on Popasnaya, which was taken on May 8. On May 12, Nagin was seriously wounded in the arm, and after rehabilitation he returned to his squad.
Terek’s “Five” was one of the first to set foot on the streets of Bakhmut, namely Patrice Lumumba Street, thereby actually starting the hellish Bakhmut Meat Grinder.
On September 20, 2022, Alexey “Terek” Nagin died during shelling. He was buried in Volgograd, he was 41 years old.
Terek was subsequently replaced as commander of the 5th SHO by Salem, who in turn, after severe injuries, was replaced by Mekhan, who went through the Bakhmut meat grinder to the end. It is noteworthy that in a row three commanders of the 5th detachment became Heroes of Russia.
