Pskov 23 February

23 February 2018. in the area of ​​Pskov, referred to as the Cross, there were celebrations in honor of the 100 anniversary of the creation of the Red Army.

In the Crosses, in 1969. a monument was erected dedicated to the events of February 1918.

The main 18 battles of the year took place in the Cherekhi area south

February was surprisingly winter and in anticipation of the celebrations and participants, and the audience had to freeze a little. Soldiers froze, musicians froze, machinery froze.

Attention attracted the banner group, uniformed in the "Warrior". Once in the "Warrior", with his swords naked, looks somewhat unusual.

Paratroopers, motorized infantry, pilots, border guards, maritime border guards and students of the FPS Academy participated in the parade.

A test pass was made.

Following the results of which the commanders were called to the "carpet" and got stuck.

Hooked up journalists.

But the parade passed without incident.

At the end of the parade, according to tradition, the technique was given to the "plundering" of children.

Something new has emerged from the vehicle: a snowmobile — for some reason it is not shown in the summer, and the BTR-MDM.

From the comments of the officer-guide. The BTR-MDM in comparison with the BTR-D is good and carries more, and prolazit almost everywhere. But sometimes a good target for the grenade thrower turns over.

At the end of the celebrations, a reconstruction of the events of 1918 was carried out. Reconstruction was carried out by forces 76DShD. Therefore it was not historical, but perhaps a thematic reconstruction.

The place for photography is very inconvenient, the head sun and snow. So, sorry for the photo frames. "Do not shoot the pianist, he plays as best he can"

The newly created units of the Red Army dug in ...

... and sent a propagandist soldier into the audience.

A commissioner arrived at the unit explaining the latest decrees.

After a brief shooting, the forces of the Kaiser people of the Red Army trenches were taken.

But the arrived division of the Red Army repelled the attack. In the end, we won.

And at the end of the reconstruction, spectators fraternized with the soldiers of the Red Army and the Kaiser.

In addition to the victory of the Red Army, the commentator still tried to push through the idea that the 1918 fights of the year took place in this place.

This is what really turned out to be a winter one, and on an interesting 23 February day, February 2018. in Pskov.

Now everything is pathos, fun and informative. One hundred years ago, everything was completely different: Kaiser Germany, stupidly tired and bloodless from the war, dreaming of reviving her own economy through reparations in the Brest Peace, and created from which the Red Guard would fall, the “merits” of which, upon careful consideration, are very doubtful. But still, they were the first to "throw a stone into the water." And the world has changed!

It’s not a matter of pathos. It’s in memory. The current young generation, if they have heard about the past holiday, they probably don’t know what event it is dedicated to. And you need to tell the unaware and remind the forgetful.

If sabers, then where is the cavalry, or at least a cart for entourage? Holidays also need to think through.

But there were none then ....

Then only an armored car ... Wheelbarrows, and indeed later. This is the invention of craftsmen Old Man Makhno. And then the First Equestrian novelty was adopted.

But this can be clarified. What doubt is that? That people did not fight and did not die. What are your "doubts"?
..But already on February 23, 15 versts from Pskov, the advance detachment of the Germans met the first rebuff and even backed up under fire. The city was defended hastily by the assembled troops under the command of the former colonel of the General Staff G. Peklivanov - the 2nd Red Army regiment of Cherepanov, formed from soldiers of the Northern Front, detachments of Latvian riflemen, Pskov Red Guards, St. Petersburg workers and soldiers, as well as the remnants of the units of the 70th infantry who retreated here , 15th cavalry divisions, two shock battalions of the old army. The participation of officers of the 15th Ukrainian Hussar, 15th Tatar Uhlan, Koporsky Infantry Regiments, some other people, and the Soviet government, of course, did not sympathize, but fought for the honor of Russia, was noted in the battles near Pskov and Narva.
In the course of heavy stubborn fighting on February 24, the Germans, pulling up their rear, artillery and reserves, creating superiority in forces, broke through to the outskirts of Pskov, on the night of the 25th they went to the center, on the 28th they captured the whole city, which changed hands three times hands. The Germans were stopped at the Toroshino station with the help of the 1st Corps battalion, the Tukums Latvian Regiment, the 2nd reserve machine gun regiment of the regular Red Army, and the Red Guards of the Petrograd factories who had arrived from St. Petersburg.
Moreover, the actions of Peklivanov personally in those dire conditions of chaos, panic and the collapse of the front by the command were evaluated positively.
Near Narva, which fell on March 3, the day the Brest Peace was concluded, the troops of this sector were led by the former commander of the 12th Army, Lieutenant General D. Parsky. The commander of Narva was appointed commander-in-chief of the sailor Dybenko, the leader of the Central Balt and the hero of October, who, however, criminally abandoned the city, with the echelon of his sailors left for Gatchina and forcibly took Parsky with him. On March 7, Dybenko arrived in Yamburg, where Parsky, who managed to escape from him, successfully established a defense. But not for long, - then Dybenko went on a drive across Russia further, having reached Saratov, apparently not daring to appear to the eyes of his subordinates and bosses. Upon his return, he was put on trial, expelled from the party and sentenced to be shot, however, at the request of Kollontai, he was pardoned and further feats of civilian earned forgiveness and restoration in the ranks.
Have there been battles near Narva? Yes they were. At the stations of Johvi and Kohtla, the armored train of the Putilov Red Guards distinguished themselves, forcing the Germans to retreat. Only under the onslaught of superior infantry and artillery forces did Narva leave the units of the 3rd Red Army Regiment of the Northern Front, the Latvian detachments of the detachments of Klyavs-Klyavin and Azin, the Hungarian-internationalists Bela Kuna, the Estonian Revelation detachment of Põlda, and the workers' detachments from Petrograd.

It turned out that Lenfilm provided assistance in the reconstruction. As for uniforms, I agree, more or less normal. But about SCS-45, it’s more likely the reserves of the 76 division. I think Lenfilm would have found both Mosin and Mauser. It’s good that they didn’t run with AK. In Soviet times, this happened.

and why the fighters in the "Warrior" with checkers impudent, but without scuba gear?

Herculesych! This is due to the stupidity of the chiefs of the famous group with broadswords “armed”. In the "Warrior" with AKMS would be much preferable ...
But THANKS to the author! It reminded me of my distant youth: we ran there to the “Zarnitsa” playing with the Young Army men. It was true, in the summer, but the 76 division provided us even then. Then, as usual, climbed the technique. And our platoon dad (Captain Medvedev) was for us an unquestioned authority in everything ... He taught us to read the map, navigate the area, cook porridge and neutralize water ...
Yes, there were people in our time ... a mighty, dashing tribe ... Then Medvedev entered the academy, and I went to Kalinin IED ... But the memory is still alive.

Sorry, out of habit, or maybe because of laziness, I wrote so. We do not bother about the name, and often pronounce it like that.

I am glad that in many cities there were solemn events dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the Red Army, even in the Ukrainian Krivoy Rog

And this is a military parade in Omsk, where cadets of an armored school from Angola performed an unusual dance

In Krivoy Rog, liberation from the Nazis was celebrated.

I respect this city, I have been there more than once. Former friends lived there. You sent the Krivbass National Battalion to us in Hib in 2014, I won’t taste it? I don’t think it’s easier. But Donbass-Kryvyi Rih !!! There the getmans are still washing the Heroes of Krut The Red Army is all stronger.

Well, since the day was frosty, it means that the participants in the parade had to lower ears on earflaps! And so - what are they for? For ceremonial beauty? Kills when ceremonial calculations in the cold are in the form of "ears up". Still, Saturday is for man, not man for Saturday.
