In Saratov, the street was named after the pilot who died in Syria Dolgin

One of the streets in Saratov now bears the name of the military pilot Yevgeny Dolgin, who died in Syria in the Palmyra region, reports RIA News.

“I decide to assign the name ... of the street originating from the street named after Mikhail Bulgakov in the south-east and then in the western direction - the name of Yevgeny Dolgin”- says the decision of the head of the Saratov administration.

The document notes that the street is located in the Leninsky district - the largest district of the city.

Russian military instructor pilots Ryafagat Khabibulin and Yevgeny Dolgin killed 8 July in Syria during a flight around Palmyra.

According to the Ministry of Defense, on this day, “a large detachment of militants of the Islamic State terrorist organization banned in the Russian Federation attacked the positions of Syrian troops east of Palmyra” and, breaking through the defenses, could capture the dominant heights.

“At this time, Khabibulin and Dolgin flew around the Syrian Mi-25 helicopter. The crew commander Khabibulin decided to attack the terrorists. By the competent actions of the Russian crew, the offensive of the terrorists was foiled. The crew of the helicopter was killed. The servicemen were presented with high state awards, ”the agency reminds.

Yevgeny Dolgin was a native of the Saratov region. The pilot was buried in the cemetery in his native village Sokolovy.

The correct decision to perpetuate the name of the hero in the name of the street, you must not forget your story and your heroes who gave their lives in the fight against evil.

It is foolish to call streets, schools, etc. the names of the dead. Renaming streets is even dumber. So soon, streets with beautiful, functional names will disappear. There will be only name streets, which in a month no one will remember who they were.
And I don’t see any feat. The contractor soldier was just doing his job. Before that, he did the same job in Chechnya. If he died there, no one would have noticed. In Chechnya, at least the guys defended the country, and there we defend Russian business.
The head of the city administration Valery Saraev decided to promote on the death of a soldier. How did the townspeople react to this decision? No way. No one asked them, no one did the poll, and yet they live on this street.
"I will walk along Khabibulinskaya, I will turn to Dolginskaya, and then to ............... I will stand in the shade ...."

We need a law prohibiting renaming everything since 1917 and returning the old names. New street names should be discussed by citizens, by voting.
I would rather live on Rozhdestvenskaya Street, it was called that way before the revolution, and not on Sovetskaya Street, as I renamed it for propaganda purposes.
