Monument to Margelov opened in the homeland of the Airborne Forces
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.
