He was wounded twice.

Then in 1956 he graduated with honors from the Military Academy. MV Frunze, and already in 1967 - the Military Academy of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the USSR.

I join in condolences.
At 96m, he left. This is the health of Comrade Marshall. It’s amazing. Military service is not honey; centenarians are not often found.

Eternal memory to the Veteran Soldier Marshall !!!
Indeed, for many of us, he, as Minister of Defense, signed a demobilization order. History is leaving us ....

Sorry did not live up to the 75th anniversary of the VICTORY! Real veteran veterans are leaving. Kingdom of heaven!

[cost]

The man is an era. What kind of people are leaving. I'm so sorry. Did not live to Victory Day. Sincerely sorry.

[faterdom]

Peace be upon Marshall ...
The only person who could save the Soviet Union, but at such a price that ... did not do it. Made the hardest choice in life. God will judge now.

[g1v2]

He could save, but as a result he destroyed it. Without the GKChP, which completely paralyzed the Soviet power vertical, Yeltsin and his comrades could not have dealt a mortal blow to the alliance. I have no good feelings for Yazov. As well as to the entire top of the 80s. I definitely won’t cry for him. Ready for the cons. Go ahead.

[Victor_B]

Peace be upon the warrior ...

[Nikolay3]

I express my condolences. Thanks to such people, with unbending willpower - Russia is alive!

[cherkas.oe]

Kingdom of Heaven Dmitry Timofeevich. Another WWII soldier left, sad

[Dzafdet]

It is a pity, the real communist was. Now there are no such ...

[tech3030]

When the verse served, it went like that - sea beer, vodka basin, Grandfather Yazov’s decree! Rest in peace comrade marshal.

[Legionista]

I am proud that I participated in the Parade on Red Square in honor of the 45th anniversary of the Victory. I am proud that hosted the Marshal of the Soviet Union Dmitry Timofeevich Yazov. Eternal memory to the Soldier!

[Fedorov]

Good luck to Marshall in another world. But I was a ram only in the Troops and commanded a platoon, company, battalion. Although he rose to the colonel in civilian posts.

[Alex_Rarog]

Rest in peace. And my condolences to family and friends ....

[knn54]

He survived two wives, two children and a grandson .. Siberian, however.
I had to meet (of course not personally) when Yazov commanded the KSAVO.
I still remember his words: Comrades, commanders. Make the political officers work. And this was in 1981.
And another UNIQUE case. Being the head of the automotive service of the Far Eastern Military District, I was also the FIRST Deputy Commander of the District.
Peace be upon you, Legend.

[dauria]

He commanded the 122th Guards Motor Rifle Division in Dauria. I myself certainly did not find him. But poplars planted with him in the town were alive. This is among the treeless bare steppes and hills, where every bush is a joy.
He is a real Soldier. Everything else will be judged by God. Not for us to judge.

[svp67]

Squeeze and Condolences ...

[Adam Khomich]

Kingdom of heaven, earth rest in peace. Rest in peace, comrade Marshal of the Soviet Union!

[Mouse]

from his poem:

"In battles for the honor of the Fatherland

I spared neither strength nor life.

And, having walked in the ranks for half a century,

He was also a minister. "
Rest in peace!

Peace be upon you! God grant that the earth lay on it with light fluff ...

[andrew42]

A bright memory and a bow to the earth. The real Warrior, the last defender of OUR country, which we lost. Betrayed by the bourgeois elite, but unbroken ..

[Alexga]

Peace be upon the last Soldier of the era, Marshal of the Soviet Union!

[Thrifty]

“Gone out of this life!” I was drafted into the army and demobilized on his orders! Marshal, whom I saw with my own eyes once in my life on the exercises! Rest in peace, Dmitry Timofeevich! I am sincerely sorry that you did not live to see the May 9th, Victory Day! A person is alive as long as he is remembered! You deserve our memory, you deserve a GOOD movie about YOU! THANK YOU!

[Ros 56]

The kingdom of heaven and the eternal memory of a warrior. Condolences to family and friends.

[Romey]

I join in condolences. One of the iconic people of that difficult era has left.

[Sanya Terek]

Good memory to the Veteran, the last Marshal of a great country! Land to rest in peace, Dmitry Timofeevich.

[chenia]

Rest in peace. The era is gone. Old soldier. The last marshal.

[zampolite]

Who doesn’t remember the lullaby:
"May you dream of your home,
and women ..
and a box of vodka, a beer basin,
and Uncle Yazov's order! "

[Tiksi-3]

Land rest in peace to him, condolences to relatives, my oath fell upon him!

[Andrey VOV]

The most sincere condolences to the near and dear ones, land rest in peace, comrade MARSHAL!

[AleBors]

Eternal memory .. The right person was.

[depressant]

So Comrade Marshal Yazov went to our Great Glory ...
And there, in its endless cloudy expanses, tables of endless length are set, at which our army feasts, recalling the distant battles for the Motherland, from deep antiquity to our difficult days. The warriors make toasts, clink glasses, glasses, faceted glasses, and after drinking, share memories. Here are ancient knights, heroes led by Peresvet, and veterans of the war with Napoleon, and eight million soldiers who fell in the Great Patriotic War, and those who fell for their Motherland in the Chechen wars and in Syria. "Oh, Comrade Marshal has arrived! Dmitry Timofeevich, come to us, tell us what is there and how." And now a leisurely conversation is flowing ...
We serve Russia! Homeland, remember your army!

[New Year day]

Farewell, Comrade Marshal of the Soviet Union! Thank you for your feat, your life devoted to the country.

Comrade Marshal of the Soviet Union!

The last marshal of the USSR! I didn’t make anything, neither the cottages on Rublevka, nor Rolls Royce, nor Bentley, unlike the existing ones. Honestly carried out orders, only could not save the USSR.

[Dude]

Kingdom of heaven. Condolences to loved ones. Like it or not - a representative of the era. And a participant (albeit indistinct), truly, eplkhalnyh events.

The only person from the Emergency Committee who behaved with dignity.

Eternal memory, kingdom of heaven.
It is a pity that there was not the courage to go to the end in 1991.

[Bomb]

In conjunction with Gorbachev, this was not possible. Very sorry Ustinov.

That is, perhaps, the whole current "ambush" ... the war has passed, but to shake and crush the larva of crap ... and the whole minister of defense was, not a hell of a mountain ... and okay, I have he quit ..

[Bomb]

All privileges, privileges, gifts to veterans and 75 here when they have a month left to live. Shameful!

[Andrei Nikolaevich]

Everything ... The era of Great People is over. Eternal memory to him .. Remained: Chubais, iPad, chewing gum, selfie, drugs, blue, ,, let's get married ,, and ,, let them say ,,

[PValery53]

A worthy patriot who devoted his whole life to defending the Fatherland has gone.

[Lontus]

I could not resist meeting with a direct active participant in the collapse of the USSR.

[Serwid]

I'm so sorry. I went with him to the demobilization. DMB 90.

[Sergey Averchenkov]

My condolences.

It’s good that under the GKChP he turned out to be Marshall, did not allow blood
