Commander of the Central Military District, Colonel General Andrei Mordvichev, was awarded the title of Hero of the Russian Federation

The commander of the Central Military District, Colonel General Andrei Mordvichev, was awarded the title of Hero of the Russian Federation.

During his years of service, Mordvichev was also awarded the following awards: the Order of Merit for the Fatherland, IV degree, Alexander Nevsky, Zhukov, the Order of Courage and the Order of Military Merit, the medal of the Order of Merit for the Fatherland, II degree, the Suvorov Medal and other medals .



In 2008, Mordvichev took part in the Georgian-Abkhaz war, where he commanded the 28th motorized rifle division. Before the start of the special operation in Ukraine, he repeatedly went on business trips to Syria, where he proved himself to be a brave and competent commander.

It was under the command of Mordvichev that the liberation of Mariupol took place. Before the start of the Mariupol operation, many experts assessed with skepticism the chances of success of the Russian army, since the ratio of forces of the Russian Armed Forces and the Ukrainian Armed Forces was approximately parity, and military theory assumed at least a threefold advantage for the siege of a large populated area.

However, Mordvichev, having thought through the plan in advance, decided to liberate the city in small parts. As a result, Mariupol was completely cleared of militants of the Kyiv regime.

After the liberation of Avdeevka, it became known that the battle for the city was also led by Colonel General Mordvichev. He successfully coped with the task set by the leadership: he managed to build competent tactics and organize a systematic offensive.

In 2023, Colonel General Mordvichev was included in the sanctions lists of the European Union and Ukraine, which is also a kind of recognition of the commander’s merits.

        The title of Hero of Russia is devalued and devalued. Like Russian passport and citizenship..

          for courage and heroism shown in the performance of military duty in extreme situations (September 20, 1999). When he was Minister of Emergency Situations

              Exactly. I confused Shoigu and Karelin. There was a topic with Shoigu, but in the comments they were already focusing on Karelin and I didn’t notice it

        "I recently learned that wrestler Karelin is a Hero of Russia." - and he received this title for being the Minister of Emergency Situations. And he received this well-deserved title in 1999. How old are you?

          Karelin has never been the Minister of Emergency Situations.

            I apologize, I confused you with Shoigu. And Karelin is one of the greatest athletes in the world, not Russia. A completely deserved title. The youngsters have already forgotten who Karelin was. This is a living legend. Once again I apologize for confusing Shoigu

        Shoigu actually created the Ministry of Emergency Situations on the basis of civil defense, the Ministry of Emergency Situations in the 90s was probably the best ministry in Russia, in others there was complete devastation.

          So I say that I made good progress in the Ministry of Emergency Situations in a good sense. And not what you might think.

            In what good sense? Shoigu created the Ministry of Emergency Situations, and did not move there. And you can only move well in such a ministry by saving people during tragedies.

          They don't give a hero for this. There is an order statute, everything is spelled out there

    Well done general.
    But this is purely my opinion - the title of Hero should be given for some personal feat.
    But certainly not in terms of the totality of actions.
    and as if generals have their own orders, military orders, which are not available to either officers or lower ranks.
    Moreover, here he developed and carried out a military operation that led to the achievement of the goal.
    Order of Suvorov - just right here
    Although here two orders can be given - one for Mariupol and the second for Avdievka
    Order of St. George 4th class. and Order of St. George 3rd class. (or Order of Suvorov)

    Well, although I don't know much.
    The management probably knows better.

    Good luck to this general!!!!!

      This is debatable.
      Zhukov, if memory serves, is a four-time Hero. And hardly anyone will say that it is undeserved. And he did not receive them for personal exploits.

    In 2023, Colonel General Mordvichev was included in the sanctions lists of the European Union and Ukraine

    I think that if he really needs a visa, he will come straight to Brussels in a tank to get it.

    Gosh. I don’t beg the dignity of this general, but if there’s a hero for every town... go nuts... with neither head nor brain. Putin’s complete discredit of awards... Well, He doesn’t smell like the Russian spirit... because he commits such disrespect for history only a person alien to this story... and that means the land on which He lives... or works7
