Monument to Margelov opened in the homeland of the Airborne Forces

17
Yes, a very pleasant event. On such days you even work with such a strange light, because you understand that everything is beautiful.





30 July 2019, we are on the same territory, which 89 years ago became the scene of the landing of the first Soviet airborne assault. At that time, this place was called the Klochkov farm, now it is the territory of Voronezh, but probably it would be even better.





Yes, in 1930, it was a wilderness wilderness, and it was here that two groups of paratroopers commanded by Leonid Minov and Yakov Moshkovsky landed. What in 1997 was a memorial sign was put, then a monument was erected, and now (quite logical) the time has come to perpetuate the memory of the person who gave his whole life in the name of the airborne troops.









It makes no sense to represent General of the Army, Hero of the Soviet Union, laureate of the USSR State Prize, Candidate of Military Sciences Vasily Filippovich Margelov. We will not do this, his biography was written by letter for a long time, and finding something new is simply unrealistic.

It’s just worth noting that this small park, which is loudly referred to as the “Victory Park”, is the best suited for the role of a military-patriotic place on a city scale. Especially in light of the fact that after the sign and two monuments, the Voronezh paratroopers swept as much at the construction of the Airborne Museum.

And that, in fact, is quite logical. If Voronezh is the homeland of the Airborne Forces, then the museum simply must have a place to be.

And then this park will become not just a gathering place for various events of the Blue Berets, but also historical complex. On the basis of which it is possible to perfectly conduct both patriotic and historical work.

Being familiar with the Voronezh branch of the Union of paratroopers, I want to say that I am absolutely sure that they will succeed in their plans, and I suspect that even before the time comes to celebrate the 100 anniversary of the Airborne Forces. There are prerequisites for this, you know ...

But I'm sure we will tell about the construction of the museum separately. Today we will talk about the monument of Bath.









Working day, especially in the middle of the week ... However, about two hundred people gathered. There were also representatives of the Voronezh "peace", because the whole world really gathered at the monument, many quite well-known names were heard at the rally, and there were even more unknown to a wide audience.

So it was interesting to divide, on the one hand there were blue uniforms and blue suits, on the other - multi-colored freemen. The rally was quite short, literally laid out in about twenty minutes. On the other hand, what are the words? The deed was done, the words, in fact, are not so necessary.













So, actually. Modest, but with taste. Personally, I really liked the monument, nothing superfluous. Metal and granite. The best that could perpetuate the memory of such a person as Vasily Filippovich Margelov was.



Such things sometimes happen in our province. In general, it is wonderful when, following its motto “Nobody but us,” the paratroopers do just such things. Cases that are exactly real paratroopers.

    Voronezh is the birthplace of our airborne forces, as well as the fleet ... It's just some sacred place ...
    Vasily Filippovich Margelov.
    Great person. What he has done for our country is difficult to overestimate. And what kind of memory he left in the hearts of many people, say the multiple monuments in many cities of the former USSR

            Special thanks to the author Roman Skomorokhov for his lively report and to Roman Krivov for a well-shot video!
            Good and soul, all this significant event - the opening of the monument to V.F. Margelov in the homeland of the airborne forces - they shot on video.
            Even to the special creative art reception in the report, which is exactly on the subject of the Airborne Forces - see the reception with 0: 40 min. - I involuntarily drew attention! Visually, we, as it were, descend by parachute to the ground. Very interesting trick!

            The monument to V.F. Markelov himself turned out to be very worthy! Well done, all those who remember, love and honor their "Uncle Vasya"!

      But why? During the First Chechen campaign in the North Caucasus, 55 sons of senior officers, including seven generals, were killed.

      either Lukhovitsy of the Moscow region, or Arkhangelsk.


      Peerless knowledge of what is history, what of geography. And in Sindyakino, the fleet was not born by chance, no?

      The fact that the inhabitants of Voronezh consider their city the cradle of the fleet is, it seems, from their poor knowledge of the history of their native country.

      You should at least read Wikipedia before creating such opuses wassat

    The same monument to the HERO OF THE GREAT MOTHERLAND should be in Ukraine, in its small homeland.
    And there they erect monuments to fascists and fascist accomplices.
    What are the heroes, such is now Ukraine.
    One now the cure for her is Uncle Vasya’s troops and not to uproot the fascist infection this time.

    Astronaut (San Sanych), dear, I open Wikipedia on your advice. I enter: "Eagle (frigate) wikipedia" I read: "In April 1669 the ship was named" Eagle ", the image of the eagle as the state emblem of Russia was sewn on the ship's flags. The Dutchman David Butler was appointed captain, and all the sailors were foreigners. May 7 ship raised the sails and set off. " Then I press on "Dedinovo" highlighted in blue. It opens and reads: "Dedinovo (variant of the name: Dednovo) is a village in the Lukhovitsy City District of the Moscow Region." After reading about the village, I type in a search engine: "Russian shipbuilding wikipedia". I open the section "Russian Empire", read: "In June 1693, Peter I laid the foundation in Arkhangelsk for the first state-owned shipyard for the construction of warships [5]. There were built: the 24-gun ship" Apostle Paul "(1640), the frigate" Holy Prophecy "(1640), galley and transport ship Flamov. They formed the first Russian naval flotilla on the White Sea.
    In the spring of 1700, the 58-gun ship Goto Predestination was built. In 1702 two frigates were launched in Arkhangelsk: "Holy Spirit" and "Mercury". Again I press on the blue highlighted "Goto Predestination". I read everything about the first battleship of Russia: "The organization of the Kampans in the Voronezh Territory in 1696-1697 and the help of foreign craftsmen turned out to be insufficiently effective measures for the speedy construction of the Azov fleet, so it was decided to build the fleet with only the state's funds and only with the help of domestic specialists [7 ][8]."
    Even Wikipedia indicates the year of the first voyage of the "Eagle" - 1669, and "Goto Predestination" was launched in 1700, according to the same Wikipedia. The shipyard in Arkhangelsk was founded in 1693, which is somewhat earlier than 1696-1697, when Voronezh hoped for help from foreigners. No??? Wikipedia, of course, is not immune from mistakes, since Peter 1 on his second visit to Arkhangelsk, in 1694, examined the 24-gun ship Apostle Paul, the frigate Holy Prophecy, the galley and the transport ship Flamov on the water. So the numbers in brackets (1640) regarding "Apostle Paul" and "Holy Prophecy" are obvious mistakes of Wikipedia.
    Banshee (Novel), dear, question: "And in Sindyakino the fleet was not born by chance, no?" did not understand at all. Please enlighten: what is "Sindyakino" and where is it?
    AS Ivanov. (Andrey), dear, I do not know about the killed children of generals in the Caucasus. I also personally know the captains of the 1st rank and the vice-admiral, whose children are submariners, both on diesels and on nuclear submarines who went to sea. That is why I have taken the word "elite" in quotation marks.
