        I fully support it. Our Motherland is exceptionally rich in its Heroes, in all professions and spheres of life.
        Pokryshkin and Kozhedub are still heard, but almost no one knows about air geniuses: Rechkalov, Evstigneev, Gulaev, Reshetov, Baklan, Kulagin and many others.
        Only here such articles are often scanty with comments, pay attention.

        But in articles about all sorts of imperfections, such as the "great oppositionist" and "great tiktoker" the atmosphere is simply red-hot to the limit, 500 opinions are gathered under the article. And what is there to discuss? These "heroes" could not even make themselves people, not to mention the benefits for others ...

          They are silent about heroes, but they shout about imperfections at every corner, and they are our enemies.
