The unit also became involved in the ethnic conflicts throughout the Soviet Union in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Notably, the 1983 hijacking of Aeroflot Flight 6833 in Tbilisi, Georgian Soviet Socialist Republic, was thwarted when Alpha stormed the airplane, killing three and capturing three other hijackers who were attempting to escape to the west, which also resulted in the loss of five hostages. Throughout the 1980s, Alpha became increasingly deployed domestically to respond to a rising number of hostage taking situations, including at least two cases which involved buildings being taken over and hostages taken by violent groups of deserters from the Soviet Army, as well as other armed organizations. He was either killed by gunfire, or by the detonation of his home-made bomb, which also slightly damaged the building. In 1979, the Alpha Group shot a young Soviet Ukrainian, named Yuri Vlasenko, who was occupying a room in the Consular Section of the Embassy of the United States in Moscow, demanding he be granted asylum in the United States. Initially, this special-purpose counter-terrorism unit was involved in delicate operations which necessitated its members have a unique skill set. 14th Group formed in the Russian SSR, Sverdlovsk Oblast.13th Group formed in the Russian SSR, Krasnodar Krai.12th Group formed in the Kazakh SSR, Almaty Oblast – Later forming the basis of Kazakh NSC Arystan unit.11th Group formed in the Belarusian SSR, Minsk Oblast – Later forming the basis of Belarus' Alpha Group.10th Group formed the Ukrainian SSR, Kiev Oblast – Later forming the basis of Ukraine's Alpha Group.7th Group formed in the Russian SSR, Khabarovsk Krai.Later, territorial Alpha units were established across the Soviet Union: Another important mission for Alpha was to provide security for the Soviet leadership against enemy special forces in times of crisis or war. At the time, other, more offensive special forces of the KGB included the groups Zenit and Kaskad/Omega. By attaching a special-purpose unit to the office of the First Chief Directorate in Moscow (later the Seventh Directorate ), it was hoped that the Soviet Union's defensive capacity against terrorist attacks would increase significantly. It might have been established as a response to West Germany's creation of the Grenzschutzgruppe 9 (or the GSG 9).
