February 15 - Day of Remembrance of the Russians, who performed a duty outside the Fatherland

Today is the Day of Remembrance of the Russians, who performed their duty outside the Fatherland, was established only recently and is celebrated in Russia only for the third year. On this day, events dedicated to the anniversary of the withdrawal of Soviet troops from Afghanistan are traditionally held throughout the country, but this date received official status only in 2010. The new date was established not only in memory of the military exploits of the Afghan soldiers who did not return from that war, it is intended to become a single day of memory of all our compatriots who served the Motherland during the periods of participation in hostilities outside the country in different parts of the world. Over the years since the end of World War 68, a Russian soldier fought in Korea and Vietnam, Syria and Egypt, Mozambique, Ethiopia and Angola, in Hungary, in Bangladesh and Laos, in Afghanistan. According to historians, over the years in armed conflicts outside Russia took about one and a half million of our fellow citizens, 25 thousands of them did not return home.

This year, on the Day of Remembrance of the Russians who performed their duty outside the Fatherland, a symbolic event will take place in Moscow that has a deep spiritual meaning: the icon of Elijah the Prophet will be handed over from the hands of veterans-paratroopers of the Russian Orthodox Church of war.

The icon “Prophet Elijah of God -“ Afghan ”together with capsules of Afghan land brought from an expedition to the places of bloody battles will be solemnly brought to the Moscow temple of Elijah the Prophet - patron of the Airborne Forces on airborne Alexander Kucherenko Interfax.

In 2012, a group of veterans of the Airborne Forces who took part in the Afghan campaign, went through the places of combat glory of the Airborne Forces and special forces. The expedition visited the cities of Kunduz, Mazar-i-Sharif, Shebergan, Bagram, Kabul, Gordez, visited Chirikar Valley, Panjshir Gorge and the Salang Pass. Episodes of this journey were included in the first film of the new film project “Afghanistan. Poste restante".

Che old, to be ashamed, you won’t win them on cards and bought them on the boy’s market because of the hopelessness of the seller. Guys with a holiday, a holiday of memory, primarily about youth and the people who were around at that moment.

Hi Sasha! There is a homely truth in his words, unfortunately ... How many years have passed, but I still remember how in the military registration and enlistment office .. a rat ..... (then only a mate) - said to her face ...... "and we did not send you there"

And we always celebrated this day and we remembered everyone, both the living and ... "departed"

Eternal memory to them!

The "extreme" Soviet soldier crossed the Friendship Bridge at the Taktabazar border detachment at 16:21 pm.
The withdrawal of Soviet troops from Afghanistan has been completed.

Killed about 15 thousand of our military.

Losses of Soviet aviation (exclusively the USSR Air Force), according to widespread official data, amounted to 118 aircraft, 333 helicopters (losses of only the 40th army, excluding helicopters of the border troops and Central Asian military personnel).

And I’ll correct Alder a bit, it's still not .. a holiday, but DATE- International Day of Warriors

Seryozha, this is the official version. In reality, the "extreme" left through that bridge days later. Vasenin's regiment ... And no one met them. Slightly put themselves in order, passing the meticulous scam of the border guards, handing over the pulled out wounded. And they were relocated to Azerbaijan.

[Nechai]

Quote: Nechai

The regiment of Vasenin ...

I'm sorry, shuravi! Memory, attention - youk ...

Those who went through Kushka, a solemn meeting and did not expect at all. Schmon, yes, but a good word ...

1. Shame on the liberals- these pigs after Afghanistan also betrayed their homeland in the first Chechen!
2. Glory to the Soviet army, which first took the battle against world terrorism!
3. When the historical position on which the USSR allegedly "lost" to the cave donkeys was officially refuted ?!

the name of the memorial day is ... no Victory Day over Afghanistan!

"Goodbye mountains, you know better
What price did we pay
What enemy did not finish
What friends have you left ..... "
WE WILL BE BACK..........

ALL BOYS DEFENDING THE HOMELAND. IN ANY POINT OF THE WORLD WITH A HOLIDAY .... !!! To all who live, health and health again. And to the fallen defenders of the fatherland. ETERNAL MEMORY.

May 28, 1983. Mountains Mazar-e-Sharif.
In the photo Hero of the Soviet Union Army General V.A. Matrosov

Having smeared the rocks with Russian blood,
They drank a bitter cup to the bottom
And we know not from grandfather's stories
We are a terrible word - war

[Septugian]

Glory to all Russian soldiers who have passed this difficult journey! And eternal memory to those who did not return home!

[Civil]

Septugian,

that is, the rest of the nationalities burn in hell ?!

[Septugian]

I did not write this!

[vorobey]

Srach do not start men. there were other rules and these issues were not raised. just like the grandfathers did not share in the war.

[Septugian]

So I was not going to start! In such topics you can not shit!

For the Afghans there, everyone from the Union was Russian - "Shuravi", regardless of our nationalities.

[воронов]

Russian is Soviet, in World War II and across the river we didn’t share ethnic groups, so don’t provoke

[rinzhak]

it’s interesting that on this day Zbigniew Brzezinski notes, who uttered his famous phrase after the Soviet troops entered Afghanistan - "... here we will break the back of the Soviet Army"

[phantom359]

rinzhak,
His belly button got loose. SA destroyed internal enemies. And Brzezinski’s count is aspen. So to speak, in honor of the holiday.

[Apollo]

Eternal memory, to all compatriots heroically steadfastly and courageously fulfilling their duty, to their homeland.

[melkie]

So many boys have lost all nationalities. Everlasting memory!

[volcano]

Eternal memory to all the fallen. Health to all living things.
Perhaps, in addition to Afghanistan, there is still a veil of secrecy over our military personnel in the Middle East and Vietnam and many more .... There was a paradox in the USSR ... And there are people ..... And there are feats ... .and everyone was silent .... did not speak .... did not praise ..... One could catch up over the years .. and really surround with the care of people shedding blood for their homeland away from home .....

Let's hope that this happens again.

This is our guys from Vologda .... And how many of them are in Russia ... Eternal Memory! Mothers bow to the ground ...

[anfreezer]

On February 15, in Ufa, at the monument to the Grieving Mother (on its plates are the names of 685 Bashkortostan natives who have fallen in the world's “hot spots” since 1951), a solemn meeting will continue at the city’s Southern Cemetery, where most of the Ufa veterans-Afghans are buried. Eternal memory to the fallen, health to all those who today remember their lost brothers !!!

[Samovar]

Eternal memory to those who fought and shed blood for their homeland in Afghanistan and other hot spots. The country has lost many Heroes there and our duty is to preserve the memory of them and not to trample and denigrate their deeds to all sorts of Brzezinski and other offspring.
Eternal memory and glory to the soldiers and officers who did not return home ...

Honor and glory TO THE WARS OF INTERNATIONALISTS!

[polly]

Guys! Remember the handsome intelligent boy who grew up before my eyes, then became a lieutenant of the Soviet Army, a native of the city of Arsenyev of Primorsky Territory, Vadim Abidenko, who died in Afghanistan. He was the only son of his mother and my neighbor. Glory and eternal memory to all the fallen heroes, and a low bow to their inconsolable mothers!

[Cynic]

Last year I went there, from where my friend did not return. He went to his Afghans.
Bright and eternal memory to them 1

[AK-74-1]

Happy holiday, eternal glory and eternal memory to WAR-INTERNATIONALISTS! And I also want to recall those who faithfully defended the interests of our great Motherland in Yemen and Angola, Vietnam and Cuba and, of course, the German Democratic Republic and other friendly countries! The memory of our presence and great help should remain with our descendants! Once again with the HOLIDAY!

[Sterkh]

I won’t waste words
No need for decoration phrases.
Who said men don't cry
Who said let him look at us!
To hell the applause is empty
I ask for silence, silence ...
This we say, those living
Who returned from the last war.

The fight didn’t die, it’s even closer now
Through the yearning memories.
Who said - the time of wounds will lick?
I know that this is not so!

The third toast of friends,
We are faithful to the traditions of the old.
Still picking teeth
Rotten meat of war ...

E. Buntov

Let us remember all those who did not return ...

[George]

Remember us, Russia, in the December cold,
Before you sit down at the festive table.
Remember those who did not break your oath,
Who cherishes you forever and forever gone.
Mark on dusted with ashes
Machine guns embedded in the rocky firmament.
Write us down in history with a sad story.
And mark the maternal heart with a scar.
Remember us, Russia, and the evil and the tired,
Stupid with heat, without sleep, without water.
Measuring life from halt to halt.
From star to star, from trouble to trouble.
Remember us and the proud attack of victory,
Not one step down from the taken peaks.
Not a tribune speech, not a newspaper line-
Write on the great tablets of love.
Remember us, Russia, in eternal sorrow,
Unleash your golden braid.
We left to remember and bequeathed to live,
To live how we lived is for you!
I. Morozov
I join all those who spoke out. Congratulations to all those involved, mourn the departed.

[Garrin]

ETERNAL MEMORY OF DIED AND ETERNAL GLORY PERFORMED AND PERFORMED THEIR DEBT !!! I am proud to meet you guys!

[Dimka off]

The fortieth army. Afghan.
Heat, sand, shelling, bullets.
"Zelenka", armored personnel carrier, "Tulip",
Soviet hospital in Kabul.
Column, abyss, "serpentine",
Ambush, DShK, a fragment of a mine,
Blood, defense, F-1,
A piece of armor, clumps of dried clay.
"Turntables", "combat", dive,
Sight, bullet whistle, course target,
Step gas in a sure hand
Jolt, kickback, Stinger, NURS
Intelligence reconnaissance, dust, landing,
Cover, duval, mountains,
Attack, wounds, medical battalion,
Friends, losses, zinc, grief.
Roads, "blocks", obelisks,
"Armor", funnels, Registan,
And the path to the Motherland is not short
Fortieth Army, Afghanistan.

Eternal memory to all those who died in Afghanistan! and honor and praise to the survivors!



A hail of fire flashes, death comes from both the flank and the rear,
But when will she stop dancing in the blood.
The battle didn’t end, even the bullet in the chest didn’t cool down,
And the beloved name froze on the lips of those who did not know love.

Chorus:
And the soul, and the soul not subject to death,
I got into operation where the soldiers and the general are equal.
And the earth weeps, and the wind compresses from pain,
It became more in the world of maternal holy gray hair.

And the oath of a fighter is loyalty to both duty and honor.
He did not give up his line and was only alive on the lists.
And from the service the soldiers will return at number two hundred,
To a consoling relatives and bride, to the one who became a widow before the wedding.

Chorus:
And the soul, and the soul not subject to death,
I got into operation where the soldiers and the general are equal.
And the earth weeps, and the wind compresses from pain,
It became more than the maternal holy gray hair ....

[Landwarrior]

Remembered. "Cascade", sort of performed.

It’s too early for us to grieve
But I know for sure the day will come
Dushman is the last of the Bagram
Fall to the ground screaming

And in a civilian somewhere
You will forget it
Sleepless Duty
Dushmanov voices
I can be all this
I can forget too
Just can not forget Afghanistan
Forget Afghanistan
It’s too early for us to be sad
But I know for sure the day will come
Everything is calm in Afghanistan
And they put us on a plane

And in a civilian somewhere
You will forget it
Sleepless Duty
Dushmanov voices
I can be all this
I can forget too
Just can not forget Afghanistan
Forget Afghanistan

And in a civilian somewhere
You will forget it
Sleepless Duty
Dushmanov voices
I can be all this
I can forget too
Just can not forget Afghanistan
Forget Afghanistan ...

Memory and Glory ...

I specially cooked, failed.

Vanek,
A good diorama is obtained. Paint the soldiers and the landscape is appropriate and everything will be in order.

[rinzhak]

Chelyabinsk You are alive, what happened there ????
the video has the impression that a warhead from some MX or Trident in the last seconds before the explosion ...
How did the airborne forces, air defense and strategic missile forces miss such an object ???? they didn’t take it well for a nuclear strike and did not launch a response !!!!

[Vanek]

They are. From a different angle.

[Dimitr]

Guys! Happy holiday! A deep bow and simple human thanks for your military work and Eternal Memory to the fallen!

[cobalt]

I congratulate my father, Sergei Anatolyevich and his friend Anatoly Fedotenko, on their holiday, both participants in the Afghan war, both were across the river, today they drink their legitimate 100 or more grams, I wish them and all the participants in the Afghan war health and well-being, and the dead memory and respect, I believe that our troops fought valiantly and selflessly, that they could, ours did, politicians begin wars, and soldiers have to disentangle themselves. The Americans with all the vassals were already stuck in Afghanistan longer than ours, and for all the enormous costs of victory, something is not felt.


And then I found another music video in honor of the participants in the war, and the living and the dead. Glory to the past Afghan !!!

[Sergeyvb]

To those who returned and alive - Health of the Great and Longevity, To the lost - Eternal Memory !!!!

Happy holiday, our dear veterans !!! Eternal memory to the departed !!!

Much time has passed since we left Afghanistan, not many of us are left in this world. From our crew of the An-12 aircraft 50 Osap, 88-89year, the crew of Buyakov, two left. 5 left!

[APASUS]

The dead could not be returned, but the living from captivity had to be rescued to the last person. It has been inaudible over the years that our state has been trying to get its sons back. Our boys should not lie in Afghanistan.
That there would not be such forgotten heroes as from the Badaber camp !!

Imagine, it turns out that our authorities have complete information about each of us. And now she has appeared on the Internet http://trunc.it/m8pnt Very surprised and scared,
my correspondence, addresses, phone numbers, even found my nude photo, I can’t even imagine from where. The good news is that the data can be deleted from the site, of course, I used it and I advise everyone not to hesitate

[marder]

Not only Russians and Russians. Monument to the soldiers who performed the international duty as part of the OKSV, in Kharkov. Ukraine. On the left you can see the names of Kharkiv, and Russian, and Ukrainians who died in the DRA. I knew two from that list. He buried one ...
