The farewell ceremony with Roman Filippov began in Voronezh

33
Hundreds of citizens come with flowers to the Officers' House in the northern district of Voronezh to bid farewell to the Russian pilot Roman Filippov who died in Syria. The coffin with the body of Major Filipov was delivered by special board (military transport Il-76) to Voronezh from the Chkalovsky airfield near Moscow. In Chkalovsky, representatives of the leadership of the Ministry of Defense took leave of the dead officer of the Russian Aerospace Forces.
From the statement of Deputy Defense Minister Nikolai Pankov:
Major Filipov honorably fulfilled his military duty, remained loyal to the oath, sacrificed himself in the fight against the enemy and thereby put himself in the first row of the best defenders of the Fatherland. The name of Roman Filipov will forever remain in our hearts and the hearts of our compatriots.

His family, his wife Olga Sergeyevna and daughter, will always remain in our large army family.

The ex-commander-in-chief of the Air Force, General Mikhailov, said at the farewell ceremony that the feat of Major Filipov had literally shook people not only in Russia, but also outside the country.
Vladimir Mikhailov:
He is admired by hundreds of thousands of people. We say: Heroes live forever. And Roman will live among us, in our memory.

The Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu bade farewell at the airfield Chkalovsky with the dead pilot.

        And the bullets fly, cutting off someone’s life,
        Nullifying the hope of new meetings.
        By countries, by strangers we put the sons of the fatherland,
        In order to save the homeland and save the world in it.

        And where to find the words, so that it becomes clear to everyone -
        We have one land, we have nothing to divide.
        To reconcile peoples, to unite in arms,
        Save the planet and live in a peaceful World.
        Vitaly Khaustov

        But Russia is not Russia without warriors as worthy as Filipov!

    How much our leadership loves to regale, and to reward posthumously. We know how to die, as the writer Astafyev once said. When to live? A guy to live and live. The general silence of the general is cast on our warriors. Friend rest in peace!

      That is, it was necessary not to reward?
      The cliched silence of the general is cast on our warriors.

      I would not talk about the "general stupidity of the generals" ... especially with regard to actions in Syria. ... and no one is safe from mistakes, but you really have to pay for them .....

        Don’t juggle! I didn’t say about that. And about the fact that they love orders and medals to solve problems. The soldier’s heroism will write everything off! So it was at all times. That a simple soldier was the last defense of his people, his comrades. I don’t want to swear on this topic. I was struck by the reaction of the Americans. A former member of the US Air Force crew asks for R / T, whatever help the family of our pilot. .

        Oh how! A pilot is killed, a car is lost, and there are no guilty ones, is it? And for blaming the command for his death, are you an enemy or something? Who decided that, are you? I still consider this a direct fault of the command. His death is on them conscience. I was also responsible for my crew, and each person in it. If it were, it would be my fault, and only mine. In battle, he would die, or as a result of an accident.

          Do not suffer. And don't blame yourself. A good commander perished in battle. The principle, which was: "I myself"! The eternal memory of rB Roman and the kingdom of heaven.

    Syria sky
    was closer to the ground this time ... -
    in height absolute catapult decides no more
    if below - a sight, and squint of those who hate eyes.
    if from below war and countries, divided area ...
    who is he...
    pilot Filippov?
    just a warrior, and the homeland is a son ...
    just fulfilled a duty ... just acted, faithful to courage.
    difficult, here's what to accept: what has never before dew
    will not pass through the grass, and Don will not meet him - the shore ...
    not fate chooses ... a warrior chooses fate himself.
    He, going to his death, before his debt, will not wrench the check.
    firing a gun, he took another, turning to rumble:
    the plane burns out ... the red-star wings on the turf ...
    parachute slings: kilometers of the earth ...
    thirty-three years of life and, as it should by the time of Christ,
    the main test - he was left face to face,
    with a brutal enemy, who left the den for reprisal ...
    and as it should -
    to the hero -
    time gives an instant of fate:
    even the wounded beats! surrounding the cries of the larynx.
    black pack crawl! under the black armbands - foreheads ...
    bloodless beats!
    at least any effort is titanic.
    and targets, considering, understanding that the battle is over,
    letting you get closer - first, tearing the check from the grenade,
    finally said
    taking their lives with them:
    “You were too in a hurry to abuse the corpse, guys ...
    This is for you guys! ”
    a boy is looking at a school picture ...
    “Bottomless eyes” - speak of such a look.
    and also:
    courage, will, courage, determination ...
    of these boys
    fate chooses future Heroes ...
    Everlasting memory...

    The kingdom of heaven is a countryman. Earth rest in peace and eternal sky ..

    That's just one thing is wrong ...
    Why was the farewell to the hero in nothing representing the Officers House in the Northern microdistrict of Voronezh (almost on the outskirts of the city)? We have a beautiful old Officers House in our city ...
    The answer is the old House of Officers (where they said goodbye to many Heroes of both Russia and the USSR), by someone’s command, was given to all sorts of “venal” events (fur coats, etc.). It's a shame.
