Russian paratroopers declared Minister of Defense Serdyukov "not hand-shaking"
Airborne veterans are threatening the Kremlin with the creation of an opposition Popular Front. We wanted to be out of politics, but we are forced to do it, - the airborne veterans say in their open letter addressed to Putin and Gryzlov (the text of which is available to the editorial board of RIA "NR").As the correspondent of "New Region", yesterday held a meeting of the Central Council of the Union of paratroopers of Russia (see. VIDEO for the link). Indignant airborne veterans noted that “the dam broke through” and after stories in the village of Seltsakh, where the defense minister allowed himself to “yell obscenities” at the officers, it would not work to pretend that everything had stabilized.
Recall that on September 30, Defense Minister Anatoly Serdyukov visited the Seltsy training center of the Ryazan Higher Command School of the Airborne Forces. According to eyewitnesses, leaving the helicopter, the minister immediately began to use obscene language against the head of the Guard school, Colonel Andrei Krasov. Serdyukov repeatedly called the Hero of Russia "dolbyo ... m" and other non-normative words. The Minister of Defense explained that the reason for his anger was the wooden church of Elijah the Prophet built on the territory of the training center.
Later, Serdyukov’s deputies explained to the press that the minister was annoyed by the unfinished canteen and other educational facilities, “while the church was completed completely.” Representatives of the ministry argued that Serdyukov was reprimanding commanders sharply, but not obscenities.
Veterans of the Airborne Forces appealed for support to the ROC. Representatives of the Patriarchate did not support:
“The Moscow Patriarchate has decided all its questions - chaplains will be trained in Moscow, and not in Ryazan, a temple built with funds from the paratroopers will not be demolished. And their voice does not sound anywhere else. Shut up. They solved their questions, ”participants of yesterday’s meeting said indignantly.
They say that “in the village of Seltsy, it was not a personal insult by the civilian person to the hero of Russia, but the attitude of the current regime as a whole to the Russian army was voiced, and the essence of the reform is that the army does not need it”.
“We need those who will serve the Mediterranean and overseas interests. Fleet not anymore. The Air Force, as a single force, was gone. "The GRU special forces are partly disbanded, the rest is betrayed in the" land "and will not be able to carry out the tasks that were before."
Veterans of the Airborne Forces say that they have already matured in order to formulate their political demands to the authorities. As a result, at a meeting of the Central Council of the Union of Russian Paratroopers 17 in November 2010, the draft appeal to the country's leadership was adopted.

«Chairman of the United Russia Party V. Putin

Requirements of the Union of Paratroopers of Russia
... Voter expectations were in vain. The ruling party is silent. One gets the impression that in the party not only there are no inner-party discussions, political intelligence, but also the “sovereign form of inner-party discipline” has become more like a collective responsibility.
The Union of Russian paratroopers, supported by numerous political, public, trade union organizations, ordinary citizens of the country, failed to attract the attention of the ruling party to the scandalous case of non-statutory relations on the part of the Minister of Defense, the absence of law and order in the army, a catastrophic situation developing with a real level of combat readiness troops. We do not believe you!
We demand: Vladimir Putin, you, as the leader of the party, fulfill the will of the voters and convey to the Supreme Commander the need to speak out and assess the immoral act of A.E. Serdyukov. We draw your attention - by your silence and failure to take measures you are destroying the last moral foundations in society. Society announced A.E. Serdyukov "not handshaking." Serdyukov - resign!
Boris Gryzlov, we urgently demand from you, as the Chairman of the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation, the Head of the United Russia faction in the State Duma of the Russian Federation, to appoint and conduct an objective, independent parliamentary investigation of the military reform in the country. We have doubts about your personal position in the position of the Speaker of the State Duma.
... We are starting the preparation of the all-Russian protest action "military reform under parliamentary control, Serdyukov - resign!". We disclaim responsibility for participation in protest activities of military personnel and the broad masses of the population of the country. We say, Stop! Next is politics.
From this moment on, the Union of Russian Paratroopers will continue to carry out its authorized tasks. But we will never betray friends and comrades who have fought against rudeness and lawlessness in the army and the navy, concerned about the country's defense. We, like them, believe that the resolution of the conflict has gone into the political sphere.
We are ready to support the members of the Union of Russian Paratroopers involved in the creation of the opposition Popular Front. You drove us to this.
"United Russia" by its inaction with his own hands forms a broad opposition to himself. Party of Power, think! In this form, such a party of power - we do not need! ”.
