He was awarded the title Hero of the Soviet Union on 15 January 1944 but later exiled to Jalal-Abad solely on the grounds of his Chechen ethnicity; after writing a letter to Lavrentiy Beria requesting the rehabilitation of the Chechen people he was arrested on manufactured charges of embezzlement and sentenced to twenty years of imprisonment.

Throughout the remainder of the war he served as a platoon commander after graduating from the Novocherkassk Cavalry School with the rank of junior lieutenant.

[1] In 1946 Dachiev was demobilized from the Red Army and deported to Jalal-Abad in the Kyrgyz SSR on the grounds he was Chechen and therefore a potential traitor, despite the fact that he was a decorated veteran of the war.

He worked as a tradesman until his arrest in 1952 on fabricated charges of embezzlement after writing a letter to Lavrenty Beria requesting the rehabilitation of the Chechen people.

His status as a Hero of the Soviet Union was restored and his war medals returned on 21 August 1985 after Mikhail Gorbachev officially rehabilitated him.
