Memories of relatives and co-workers

• Z. K. Elisova, sister:

... From the war, the brother came all wounded, his legs were especially badly injured. Thanks to his mighty health and youth, he quickly recovered. In 1946 he went to serve in the police and all his further life was connected with the internal affairs bodies.

• M. A. Dakhkilgov, retired police colonel:

... In the fall of 1966, Boris Kuzmich was appointed Minister of the Interior of the Chechen-Ingush Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic. Police Colonel Elisov Boris Kuzmich turned out to be a highly gifted, imperious, principled, extremely able-bodied, fair and very sensitive leader. He evaluated employees only by his business and moral qualities; he was not prejudiced by national cadres. I didn’t meet such a competent and respectable leader as Colonel General Boris Kuzmich Elisov, although I worked only in the former Chechen-Ingushetia under the leadership of eight other interior ministers.

• S. M. Gulyabzoy , former Minister of the Interior of Afghanistan:

The leading activity of Elisov constantly had a multilateral impact on the formation and development of the people’s Tsarandoy (police).

• O. A. Galustyan, retired general:

... Elisov Boris Kuzmich, deputy minister. He supervised the public order block. Moved from the bottom, from the "land". He was the Minister of the Interior of Chechen-Ingushetia. He practically eliminated banditry in the republic, acting by no means repressions. Then he headed the Internal Affairs Directorate of the Rostov Region, from there Shchelokov took him to the apparatus. Strong personality. I met him closely when I was conducting training for internal affairs officers before being sent to Afghanistan, and he oversaw this work. For months we sat with him in Tashkent, trained fighters of the Cobalt detachment.

• V.V. Ogorodnikov, former head of the Main Directorate for Public Order of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia, former head of the GUVD of the Moscow Region:

The main task that Elisov set for me is the organization of the work of district commissioners and interaction with public organizations, primarily with the DND.

• N. I. Demidov, Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs of the USSR:

... What I personally remember from the major undertakings of Boris Kuzmich. Today, few people already know that it was with his name that the birth of mobile militia groups was connected, it was Elisov who was one of the initiators and ascetics of the creation of future riot police - special police units.

B. K. Elisov, despite the fact that in Soviet times, as a rule, deputy ministers of the interior of the USSR were appointed after passing the party school, he did not work in these and other structures.

He was the deputy of four ministers of internal affairs of the USSR.

He began his career path from the hinterland from the position of head of the passport office, having gone through all the potholes of police life, until being appointed to a high and responsible position. At the same time, all his activities during more than 43 years of service were connected only with the internal affairs bodies.

Of the nine orders, B.K. Elisov has 6 military.

In the history of the USSR Ministry of Internal Affairs, only B. K. Elisov of the former deputy interior ministers was awarded the Order of Battle Glory of the 3rd degree, for the storm of Berlin. For over 8 years he has been continuously responsible for the work of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the Republic of Afghanistan.

B. K. Elisov was able to resolve, resolve difficult situations (mass riots, ethnic conflicts) without the use of weapons. For example, in 1986, the December events in the capital of Kazakhstan, where he was recommended by many large leaders to enter tanks, to which he replied:

... The introduction of tanks is a direct path to civil war, I will never go for it.
