Lies and truth about the deaths of soldiers in Boguchar
Another opus performed by Vladimir Vashchenko published "Gazeta.ru", thereby triggering a rather strong reaction in the media and the Internet community. A rather heartbreaking material about the state of affairs in the 54046 military unit, which tells how terrible the life of all the soldiers in Boguchar is.
Since we were in this military unit a month and a half ago, we observed it with our own eyes and talked quite tightly without a camera with personnel from privates to senior officers, it somehow doesn’t allow conscience to stand aside.
The fact is that not everyone in our army today is as beautiful as we would like. With such an investment in it ... But to write outright nonsense and fiction just to imagine everything in the spirit of 90's is a bust.
I said, I say and I will say that the most vile lie is when 20-25 percent of truth is added to it. Here is the case, only you can’t scrape even 20%, even if you kill yourself.
So, what we have according to Boguchar.
I will issue a few in the wrong order, as in that article, it will come out more consistently and logically. There, the author simply took all the dirt that could be invented, and dumped it without bothering at all. And we will go in order. Based on what I saw with my own eyes and heard with my own ears.
Come on.
1. In part, the uttermost mess in terms of security and safety.
“According to the former soldier (Nikiforov. - Comm. Aut.), In his memory the military unit repeatedly failed checks for anti-terrorist readiness.
“This is when the uncle walks quietly wherever he wants to go, and then comes to the commander or his deputy, shows a certain“ crust ”and says:“ Well, I am a “terrorist”, I have already “blown up” several times. In my memory, a part did not pass this test even once, ”Nikiforov noted.”
The revelations of this Nikiforov, who was the “clerk of one of the platoons”, are doubtful, which did not prevent him from being aware of the details of being at the battalion level. And to have "reliable" information that "one of the battalions has an article for exceeding its authority." This is simply to the question "was there a boy."
From myself I can say that in terms of paranoia, frank and unconvincing, in terms of secrecy, this part outdid all I visited. And leading by such a margin that the hair stand on end. Even Rabbits in Kursk, who work with a really new and secret technique, nervously smoke on the sidelines.
You can enter the territory of this military unit and walk there. In a dream or under drugs. We were admitted after half an hour of approval and under the watchful eye of an employee of the HRT department. Protection of state secrets.
So, as these defenders of the GT got, I was not reached anywhere else. Politely, culturally, with a hint of my intellect.
“Well, you understand that you can not shoot everything?”
“You after shooting will show us what you took?”
“Will it not be difficult for you to remove what we ask if necessary?”
In the end, I yelled openly. Yes, mother of God, the tsarina-intercessor (exemplary translation), what the hell do you have? T-72, taken out of GSVG? BMP-3? "Acacia"? Where are the secrets ???
In response, such a polite smile. Understanding. We have, like, our own work, you have your own.
By the way, the training process at the test site was quietly released to shoot without an escort. But it cost me, along with one of the platoons, to return to the territory of the unit, as the demonic guard of the ZGT immediately drew himself. Apparently, the fighters who sat on the tower, at the entrance to the range, reported on the radio. Three persons. With walkie-talkie and machine gun. Also so ... unobtrusive.
I had plans to take pictures on the territory of the unit, but again this lieutenant politely asked me to return to the car, and without the need not leave her. And about the shooting of the part, he also politely informed that he hadn’t asked for this permission, which means ... I wrote out such a polite bolt from the BTR.
You can, of course, say that this is for us all so tense. However, already on the road, they witnessed how the outfit at the checkpoint was enthusiastically shmonal a car that brought back buckles with water for coolers. I had to wait, there the two cars just would not go. I got out of my vehicle and asked the driver of “Gazelle”, who quietly smoked near his car, for how long. No, says now finish. "Are they always like this?" - I asked. Yes, calmly answered drove, I'm already used to. I have a time-based payment, in the office everyone is aware that it is here for a long time, so let them have fun ...
In general, I simply do not believe that a person in a civilian environment can so calmly walk through the territory of a unit without attracting attention. With the check-in service, everything is there ... in short, there is a bust, but it is better that way.
2. On the inhuman conditions of life.
“We live in tents all year round. You understand that you cannot bring a family with children to such conditions. ”
Also 5% truth. “All year round” is from June to September. It was in June that the transfer of the motorized rifle brigade to Boguchar ended. And began the preparation for work on site.
Yes, I agree with the fact that in Mulino conditions of life were magical. Talked about this and contractors, and officers. Of course, when to Nizhny Novgorod, where most of the servicemen lived half an hour on a minibus, this is fine. And then on you - Boguchar. Which though and the regional center, but ... And to Voronezh 250 km. With all that it implies. And to the bottom almost a thousand ...
I talked on this topic with one of the senior officers. But not very. “Odnushka” service in Boguchar is not a “treshka” in Nizhny, where the whole family remained.
But let's face it.
The first one. Where is it said that a soldier (from an ordinary to a general) should serve next to the house, constantly in one place, and so on? Yes, state interests demanded the redeployment of the motorized rifle unit closer to the border. So I'm sorry, this is not even a gain! There we have nothing to strengthen, for starters. Two tank parts for 500 km of the border. And that’s all. No, there are rocket launchers, air defense, electronic warfare. But really, the 20th Army is spread out in such an area that you calmly think about what will happen “in case of what” from the other side, that “a case of what” is generally not expected. For now, at least.
The second. The money allowance, maintenance, and so on, today in the army, has been raised to such a level that it is not a shame to send a person as a whole to serve where the command deems necessary. And, by the way, none of the officers discussed this moment in the brigade. So, rather, booze by inertia. Of course, I would like the best.
Third. I will then turn from him to the topic of arbitrariness and lawlessness. The same officers told me that work in connection with the relocation of the unit was not just a lot, but a complete blockage. And the working day lasts from 8 in the morning until 22-23 hours of the evening. And the weekend is purely for pro forma. Monday often really starts on Saturday.
This, of course, fits into the statutory "burden and deprivation of military service." But - to a certain limit. And the limit must come when all relocation issues are resolved. So there is a prospect. And everyone understands this.
They do not understand only those who openly shit on the head of really worthy peasants who, far from their families, protect our frontiers.
And more about life. Barracks and dormitories are being built on the territory of the unit. Fact. And the fact that the September commander of the Western Military District came to supervise this issue in September. We were invited, but we worked for ARMY-2016. Buildings were erected, communications are connected, and interior decoration is currently underway. And by the winter everyone who lives in tents since June will be settled there.
3. "Torture and beatings" in parts.
Everything is simple here. Reading the article, really felt the wind 90-x. I do not know where the Nikiforov and Kharitonov were dug out, which gave the heartbreaking details of their service, but this is for a person familiar with the army service, already in the category of hard drugs.
All this torture with the help of a field phone is generally a masterpiece! The author has clearly read some polymilatic chronicles in social networks. That they have "tapik" densely prescribed in everyday life.
“In 54046, I felt on my own skin what torture“ tapic ”(military field telephone) is. It was used occasionally by many officers in relation to personnel for “shoals” and “zalety”.
For example, I got caught with the phone, didn’t fulfill the task, didn’t give up the money on time (and we donated it regularly - to the needs of the company, as well as to other matters.
In the way ... not a part, but a criminal hangout of some kind. And, apparently, the word "occasionally" poorly describes the state of affairs. Because today's scourge of the army is just a war with cell phones. Somewhere they are supposed to be used at the weekend or in case of emergency, in some I personally observed their presence among the personnel. Kontraktnikov exactly no one limits, except for the guard duty.
And conscripts do go to all sorts of tricks in order to ensure that the usual gadget was with them as long as possible. Well, already accustomed to this youth. And then the war is really going on in full. And the command personnel does not always win, because the ingenuity of our youth in this respect does not yet have limits. And in each platoon there is a couple of safely hidden phones so, just in case.
So the punishment for such zalety should have been not just massive. Universal Apparently, it was for this purpose that a special unit had to be created. Patrol and torture service.
“Some were gathered into the support battalion; they kept order at the chipka (soldier’s cupboard) so that the soldiers would not steal and not be hooligans. The Chipok itself was, as it were, as if it were not there: it existed by personal agreement with the battalion commander, in essence it was an on-site outlet, from which the commanders of the unit received income. In short, on the one hand, these favorites served centrally and separately from the general mass, on the other hand, they could be used as an oversight structure in order to keep the soldiers in check, and woe to those who, due to some ridiculous chance, got to them. ”
Epic, right? Also a couple of questions drew. A supply battalion ... of what? Order in the territory of the part? Is it a bit much? Or part of the recruited by zones? And in general, how did the brigade commander manage to create a separate battalion? Do not understand what, to protect the "chipka"?
Or did the author have in mind such a structure as BOUP? Battalion providing training process? So this unit is inherent in either training units or military schools. Basically the last. And that such a battalion has forgotten in an absolutely combat unit - a question that will remain unanswered, since there is a doubt that Mr. Vashchenko generally served and understands what the keyboard is tormenting about.
But it's easier: he mixed mud thinner, but dumped it wider. The main thing - to stink stronger.
I think there will be those who believe in the nonsense, composed by Mr. Vashchenko. Based on "reliable testimony." But it will be, quite obviously, people who have seen the army only on the screen of the TV channel “Star”. Moreover, they do not trust this TV channel. But the normal and knowledgeable, about the creation of a certain criminal structure engaged in taking money from soldiers, torture and beatings, on the basis of a personnel military unit, will be believed only after using the same thing that the author took.
But I will come back to this in custody. And now about what started it all.
4. Deadly case.
It all started with the fact that one of the servicemen of the unit committed suicide by hanging. Actually, from this all rushed.
“... under unexplained circumstances, a soldier-contract soldier died. Co-workers say he committed suicide due to harsh conditions of service. The press service of the Western Military District categorically rejected a similar interpretation of events. ”
Yes, the press service of the ZVO is still those characters, of course, sometimes reminding me of the heroes of the cartoon about the Ice Age. Only they are not two, but more. But this time the information was shared. Well, purely by chance, in Boguchar I have relatives who are related to state structures of a certain orientation. So I formed a very specific picture.
The name of the suicide was asked not to be named, since the consequence and so on. Good. But the picture came out like that.
Indeed, a fighter of a motorized rifle brigade brought about life. From local. Signed a contract in the Boguchar. So there are still questions to the bogucharsky services responsible for selection for the contract.
The most difficult “conditions of service” in the process of passing it is a two-week field exit. The rest of the time, the fighter lived, as he should, in his wife’s private house, while still having his own apartment.
So the topic of abusing 35-year-old man for a year in a tent with the help of a telephone device, we immediately dismiss. For 35 years of age and contract.
“The guy had problems in his personal life: he left his wife, who had a child from him. She left, saying the following: "I don’t need a man who’s not at home for days."
So allegedly said one of his colleagues. I believe, by the way. But about the "rather difficult conditions of service," clearly edited the editors of "Gazeta".
The rest, apparently, the fighter was not lucky in his personal life. Except for a completely complete fool, I cannot name his former life partner. Probably you should not give figures on the salary of an ordinary contract. In the God-forgotten agrarian Boguchar these figures are very significant. For comparison, the average salary of a trader-market trader is 10 thousand. The lowest level civil servant is 14-18. Teacher at school - depending on the category from 8 to 15. Policeman - from 30. And being a military man is the height of desire. There are, however, categories that earn more abruptly. These are farmers, herders, combiners and other farmers. The average income of a private combine operator is 80-100 thousand per month. But he earns this money in spring and autumn. And we have to plow in the truest sense of the word.
So as a “fuse” for the whole stories we have a contractor with a clearly unbalanced psyche who has laid hands on himself and an idiot wife. But this is not our business at all, the main question is: where is the part? Questions, I repeat, should be addressed to those who have casually inspected the candidate for the contract.
I do not even want to disassemble the rest of the hodgepodge of dirt and other substances. Therefore, I proceed to the conclusion.
5. Personal opinion on the / 54046.
During the work, I visited many parts of different types of troops. And folded a definite opinion about today's army.
The main problem as a correspondent, I think, is not some kind of malfunction and dropouts, but a frank show. Yes, the one when the snow should be white and square, and the grass is green. Nothing has changed here, oddly enough. Much can not be shown simply because those who give us permission to shoot think so. Or on the contrary, it is best to show what one likes to those who order music.
But then often there is nothing to show. And there is nothing to talk about. And this year there was not one such event, after which I did not write anything.
But the report about the educational process in Boguchar and Roman and I consider it one of the best. It is in terms of the fact that there was no gloom. And the readers themselves made the following conclusions, which we talked about: it was a simple educational entrance to the training ground. With the old sub-shaman technique, with actually very poorly trained fighters who called in April-May and after KMB were engaged in the redeployment from Mulino to Boguchar.
Much of what we watched, the camera did not fall. Not because I didn’t want to take it off, but as a human being. And I wanted to take off. To be honest, something got into the frame. But not in the report.
In our work, we never aimed at “catching a beautiful frame”. We just wanted to convey the essence of the moment. But not as detached such neutrals, no. Both of us treat our army in the same way as two people who have served their day without pretensions. And look exactly like that. From the side, but on the side of the army. And we understand and appreciate, perhaps, a little more than those who have not been in the army.
Like a lieutenant colonel, he throws a tablet and a walkie-talkie to the ground, takes the machine gun and starts to show how to tumble with him correctly. As a contract sergeant interrupts the lieutenant and begins to explain the department’s actions in its own way, the lieutenant does not interrupt him with a formidable cry, but he listens no less attentively than the ordinary recruits. As later, these same recruits were sharing the last water with tankers who had gone crazy from the heat, who, due to the fact that the young were stupid, were slowly roasting in their tracked microwaves. As the battalion commanders sent two of their personal radio operators for water to the starting line. And the guys, who had dragged half a day on their backs to the walkie-talkie, were urysil a mile and a half and put a liquid on the canister (20 L). Running
At the camera? Come on, we already by that time were lying in the bushes. And the lieutenant colonel, when he tumbled, was sure that we were not around. We were not there, but the telephoto allowed me to capture.
Already at the end, being on the starting line and falling into the grass in the shadow of the car with the medical center, I involuntarily overheard such a conversation of soldiers of one platoon, who also returned from the landfill.
- That's what the "..." (I miss the zamkombriga call sign) so yelling at us? Did you forget something, that yesterday we performed a landing at the first time?
- Come on, the first time you might think ... Poret and stop.
- This is his these, journalists ... Then they will write some ..., and his ...!
With the words "do not write", I got out of the grass, which pretty embarrassed the guys. But we quite normally talked. They even gave us a compliment that we went so well with the attack.
I did not ask for names, did not read the names on the labels of flasks. Not interested in what a platoon, company, battalion. I just talked “for life” with private soldiers, as I had talked with officers before. Just for myself. And I would not mention this if it were not for this incident.
The guys were all from Nizhny Novgorod. Shock, of course, from understanding where it had come from, had already passed, but did not add joy. Of course, it’s one thing to serve in Mulino, in 60 kilometers from Nizhny, where it is quite possible to get a good way into leaving home, and Boguchar is another.
Asked, by the way, about the dismissals. The guys looked so weird, and asked one question: the meaning? Well, clean to the store for sweets, nothing more. And so it is better to sleep on the weekend.
This, by the way, to the issue of 500 rubles for the leave. Boguchar is not even a town. It is an urban settlement in 11 thousand people. And 5 thousands of soldiers and officers. With all the consequences. For the former inhabitants of a million-plus city - the melancholy is mortal.
“Somewhere in that life, they nakosyachili” - so said one of my interlocutors.
Of course, there was no such frankness, which is fully justified. Who knows what I sweat there then? But most importantly, I did not see in anyone either a doom like “oh, why did you give birth to me, mother,” or any such persecution. Normal guys tired for the day.
A platoon contract sergeant approached. What? Nothing, talk. Bosses, I suppose, wash the bones? Well, not without it. My Well, wash it. After 10 minutes, the location is advanced.
I asked, nothing about the boss so? Yes, the rules, he is quite a man. With us constantly, even spending the night in a tent, except for weekends.
Why am I writing all this in this way? Just because I spent the whole day in this part. More precisely, on its range with personnel. It can be seen well all the same to be seen when everything is done and said on camera, and when just like that, with tongues hooked.
I saw how these soldiers and their commanders worked. Seen the relationship between them. Respectful, by the way. Yes, during the educational process over the range not that the squadrons flew from the organs, the organisms and simply the mathews. But no one about the armor head pounded. So, shook off the flown, and then went or went. Working moments
Yes, personal impressions, but they are valuable to me. What I personally watched. And not only in this part. And I can say with confidence that having visited motorized riflemen, rocket men, anti-aircraft gunners, chemists, tankmen, raiders, pilots this year, I have never met any oppressive atmosphere that is described in that article. Yes, "standard insanity" is the place to be. Somewhere more, somewhere less. Apparently, shitty outgoing thing.
But trying to show that the criminal nature of the 90 model of the last century is flourishing in our army today ... With extortion, robbery, torture and other attributes of those times ...
Sorry, but this is from the enemy. From the meanest enemy who is trying to shove a spoonful of truth into a barrel of lies and to draw conclusions that our army today is a stash of immoral scum. Well, it's just that he (the enemy) is judging by himself.
I, to my joy, watched, and, I hope, I will observe another army. Yes, with flaws (well, without them without any), yes, with window dressing (this muck survives badly too), but it is in the process of becoming and turning it into that Army that can and should be proud of. Already today you can begin.
Yes, in Boguchar today is not easy. There while in terms of life is very stressful. But questions go to their decision, and the higher command helps to solve them. Otherwise, why did the commander of the ZVO have to fly there? To unfinished construction scramble? Probably not. Probably, in order to personally make sure that the soldiers will enter the winter not in tents with stoves, but in new buildings.
And the last. You can bring a lot of evidence of any "Nikiforovs" and other unknowns, I can also. But I will write personally from the two of us who worked there.
We do not have the slightest doubt that everything described in the “Gazette” and taken up by “sabbak bloggers” is a nonsense. Aiming exclusively at simply throwing mud at our army and trying to convince everyone that there is still no order or law. But this is a matter of the personal conscience of every writer.
Since we were in this military unit a month and a half ago, we observed it with our own eyes and talked quite tightly without a camera with personnel from privates to senior officers, it somehow doesn’t allow conscience to stand aside.
The fact is that not everyone in our army today is as beautiful as we would like. With such an investment in it ... But to write outright nonsense and fiction just to imagine everything in the spirit of 90's is a bust.
I said, I say and I will say that the most vile lie is when 20-25 percent of truth is added to it. Here is the case, only you can’t scrape even 20%, even if you kill yourself.
So, what we have according to Boguchar.
I will issue a few in the wrong order, as in that article, it will come out more consistently and logically. There, the author simply took all the dirt that could be invented, and dumped it without bothering at all. And we will go in order. Based on what I saw with my own eyes and heard with my own ears.
Come on.

I think there will be those who believe in the nonsense, composed by Mr. Vashchenko. Based on "reliable testimony." But it will be, quite obviously, people who have seen the army only on the screen of the TV channel “Star”. Moreover, they do not trust this TV channel. But the normal and knowledgeable, about the creation of a certain criminal structure engaged in taking money from soldiers, torture and beatings, on the basis of a personnel military unit, will be believed only after using the same thing that the author took.
But I will come back to this in custody. And now about what started it all.
4. Deadly case.
It all started with the fact that one of the servicemen of the unit committed suicide by hanging. Actually, from this all rushed.
“... under unexplained circumstances, a soldier-contract soldier died. Co-workers say he committed suicide due to harsh conditions of service. The press service of the Western Military District categorically rejected a similar interpretation of events. ”
Yes, the press service of the ZVO is still those characters, of course, sometimes reminding me of the heroes of the cartoon about the Ice Age. Only they are not two, but more. But this time the information was shared. Well, purely by chance, in Boguchar I have relatives who are related to state structures of a certain orientation. So I formed a very specific picture.
The name of the suicide was asked not to be named, since the consequence and so on. Good. But the picture came out like that.
Indeed, a fighter of a motorized rifle brigade brought about life. From local. Signed a contract in the Boguchar. So there are still questions to the bogucharsky services responsible for selection for the contract.
The most difficult “conditions of service” in the process of passing it is a two-week field exit. The rest of the time, the fighter lived, as he should, in his wife’s private house, while still having his own apartment.
So the topic of abusing 35-year-old man for a year in a tent with the help of a telephone device, we immediately dismiss. For 35 years of age and contract.
“The guy had problems in his personal life: he left his wife, who had a child from him. She left, saying the following: "I don’t need a man who’s not at home for days."
So allegedly said one of his colleagues. I believe, by the way. But about the "rather difficult conditions of service," clearly edited the editors of "Gazeta".
The rest, apparently, the fighter was not lucky in his personal life. Except for a completely complete fool, I cannot name his former life partner. Probably you should not give figures on the salary of an ordinary contract. In the God-forgotten agrarian Boguchar these figures are very significant. For comparison, the average salary of a trader-market trader is 10 thousand. The lowest level civil servant is 14-18. Teacher at school - depending on the category from 8 to 15. Policeman - from 30. And being a military man is the height of desire. There are, however, categories that earn more abruptly. These are farmers, herders, combiners and other farmers. The average income of a private combine operator is 80-100 thousand per month. But he earns this money in spring and autumn. And we have to plow in the truest sense of the word.
So as a “fuse” for the whole stories we have a contractor with a clearly unbalanced psyche who has laid hands on himself and an idiot wife. But this is not our business at all, the main question is: where is the part? Questions, I repeat, should be addressed to those who have casually inspected the candidate for the contract.
I do not even want to disassemble the rest of the hodgepodge of dirt and other substances. Therefore, I proceed to the conclusion.
5. Personal opinion on the / 54046.
During the work, I visited many parts of different types of troops. And folded a definite opinion about today's army.
The main problem as a correspondent, I think, is not some kind of malfunction and dropouts, but a frank show. Yes, the one when the snow should be white and square, and the grass is green. Nothing has changed here, oddly enough. Much can not be shown simply because those who give us permission to shoot think so. Or on the contrary, it is best to show what one likes to those who order music.
But then often there is nothing to show. And there is nothing to talk about. And this year there was not one such event, after which I did not write anything.
But the report about the educational process in Boguchar and Roman and I consider it one of the best. It is in terms of the fact that there was no gloom. And the readers themselves made the following conclusions, which we talked about: it was a simple educational entrance to the training ground. With the old sub-shaman technique, with actually very poorly trained fighters who called in April-May and after KMB were engaged in the redeployment from Mulino to Boguchar.
Much of what we watched, the camera did not fall. Not because I didn’t want to take it off, but as a human being. And I wanted to take off. To be honest, something got into the frame. But not in the report.
In our work, we never aimed at “catching a beautiful frame”. We just wanted to convey the essence of the moment. But not as detached such neutrals, no. Both of us treat our army in the same way as two people who have served their day without pretensions. And look exactly like that. From the side, but on the side of the army. And we understand and appreciate, perhaps, a little more than those who have not been in the army.
Like a lieutenant colonel, he throws a tablet and a walkie-talkie to the ground, takes the machine gun and starts to show how to tumble with him correctly. As a contract sergeant interrupts the lieutenant and begins to explain the department’s actions in its own way, the lieutenant does not interrupt him with a formidable cry, but he listens no less attentively than the ordinary recruits. As later, these same recruits were sharing the last water with tankers who had gone crazy from the heat, who, due to the fact that the young were stupid, were slowly roasting in their tracked microwaves. As the battalion commanders sent two of their personal radio operators for water to the starting line. And the guys, who had dragged half a day on their backs to the walkie-talkie, were urysil a mile and a half and put a liquid on the canister (20 L). Running
At the camera? Come on, we already by that time were lying in the bushes. And the lieutenant colonel, when he tumbled, was sure that we were not around. We were not there, but the telephoto allowed me to capture.
Already at the end, being on the starting line and falling into the grass in the shadow of the car with the medical center, I involuntarily overheard such a conversation of soldiers of one platoon, who also returned from the landfill.
- That's what the "..." (I miss the zamkombriga call sign) so yelling at us? Did you forget something, that yesterday we performed a landing at the first time?
- Come on, the first time you might think ... Poret and stop.
- This is his these, journalists ... Then they will write some ..., and his ...!
With the words "do not write", I got out of the grass, which pretty embarrassed the guys. But we quite normally talked. They even gave us a compliment that we went so well with the attack.
I did not ask for names, did not read the names on the labels of flasks. Not interested in what a platoon, company, battalion. I just talked “for life” with private soldiers, as I had talked with officers before. Just for myself. And I would not mention this if it were not for this incident.
The guys were all from Nizhny Novgorod. Shock, of course, from understanding where it had come from, had already passed, but did not add joy. Of course, it’s one thing to serve in Mulino, in 60 kilometers from Nizhny, where it is quite possible to get a good way into leaving home, and Boguchar is another.
Asked, by the way, about the dismissals. The guys looked so weird, and asked one question: the meaning? Well, clean to the store for sweets, nothing more. And so it is better to sleep on the weekend.
This, by the way, to the issue of 500 rubles for the leave. Boguchar is not even a town. It is an urban settlement in 11 thousand people. And 5 thousands of soldiers and officers. With all the consequences. For the former inhabitants of a million-plus city - the melancholy is mortal.
“Somewhere in that life, they nakosyachili” - so said one of my interlocutors.
Of course, there was no such frankness, which is fully justified. Who knows what I sweat there then? But most importantly, I did not see in anyone either a doom like “oh, why did you give birth to me, mother,” or any such persecution. Normal guys tired for the day.
A platoon contract sergeant approached. What? Nothing, talk. Bosses, I suppose, wash the bones? Well, not without it. My Well, wash it. After 10 minutes, the location is advanced.
I asked, nothing about the boss so? Yes, the rules, he is quite a man. With us constantly, even spending the night in a tent, except for weekends.
Why am I writing all this in this way? Just because I spent the whole day in this part. More precisely, on its range with personnel. It can be seen well all the same to be seen when everything is done and said on camera, and when just like that, with tongues hooked.
I saw how these soldiers and their commanders worked. Seen the relationship between them. Respectful, by the way. Yes, during the educational process over the range not that the squadrons flew from the organs, the organisms and simply the mathews. But no one about the armor head pounded. So, shook off the flown, and then went or went. Working moments
Yes, personal impressions, but they are valuable to me. What I personally watched. And not only in this part. And I can say with confidence that having visited motorized riflemen, rocket men, anti-aircraft gunners, chemists, tankmen, raiders, pilots this year, I have never met any oppressive atmosphere that is described in that article. Yes, "standard insanity" is the place to be. Somewhere more, somewhere less. Apparently, shitty outgoing thing.
But trying to show that the criminal nature of the 90 model of the last century is flourishing in our army today ... With extortion, robbery, torture and other attributes of those times ...
Sorry, but this is from the enemy. From the meanest enemy who is trying to shove a spoonful of truth into a barrel of lies and to draw conclusions that our army today is a stash of immoral scum. Well, it's just that he (the enemy) is judging by himself.
I, to my joy, watched, and, I hope, I will observe another army. Yes, with flaws (well, without them without any), yes, with window dressing (this muck survives badly too), but it is in the process of becoming and turning it into that Army that can and should be proud of. Already today you can begin.
Yes, in Boguchar today is not easy. There while in terms of life is very stressful. But questions go to their decision, and the higher command helps to solve them. Otherwise, why did the commander of the ZVO have to fly there? To unfinished construction scramble? Probably not. Probably, in order to personally make sure that the soldiers will enter the winter not in tents with stoves, but in new buildings.
And the last. You can bring a lot of evidence of any "Nikiforovs" and other unknowns, I can also. But I will write personally from the two of us who worked there.
We do not have the slightest doubt that everything described in the “Gazette” and taken up by “sabbak bloggers” is a nonsense. Aiming exclusively at simply throwing mud at our army and trying to convince everyone that there is still no order or law. But this is a matter of the personal conscience of every writer.
