Mairbek Sheripov

Mairbek Sheripov (1905 — November 7, 1942) was one of the leaders of Chechen insurgency against the Soviet Union in the 1940s.

Mairbek Sheripov was a younger brother of Aslanbek Sheripov, a Bolshevik revolutionary killed in a battle with the Denikinites in 1919. A jurist by profession, he worked for the Soviet government in the Chechen-Ingush ASSR. In 1941, he joined a Chechen insurrection led by Khasan Israilov. He was killed in 1942 in a Soviet reprisal raid.[1][2]
