The Che Guevara of Russia could have been the Bill Gates of Russia, had history not been the fickle bitch of renown. In Moscow in the late 1980s, Basayev moonlighted by building and selling homemade computers, and supposedly did moderately well at it. (His business partner, Supyan Taramov, later outfitted a unit of pro-Russian Chechens dubbed "Shamil Hunters.") He first cut a figure on the national stage, however, in August 1991, during the hardline putsch by Soviet dinosaurs. Basayev reportedly appeared near the White House, grenades under his arms, swearing to protect Chechen professor Ruslan Khasbulatov, then chairman of the Supreme Soviet.
