Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online.The Hatsavita Mountain Training Center is a Ministry of Internal Affairs (Russia) (or MVD) training facility located in Labinsk, Krasnodar Krai, southern Russia. The MVD, together with the Federal Security Service (FSB), carries out most internal security operations in Chechnya. The "Hatsavita" mountain training center was organized in 2005 to increase the effectiveness of Russian Army special forces (Spetsnaz GRU) during fighting in North Caucasus Mountains, especially Chechnya and Dagestan. The Labinsk brigade of interior forces that operates the camp has a long history of carrying out punitive expeditions on North Caucasus. From the 1930s through the 1950s, the brigade belonged to NKVD (KGB) and was widely used to suppress rebellions on North Caucasus. In the 1940s it was named after Laurentiy Beria, the right hand of Joseph Stalin.
