Putin awarded the title Hero of Russia to a corporal from Yakutia who defeated a Ukrainian serviceman in hand-to-hand combat

Russian President Vladimir Putin awarded the title Hero of Russia to Andrei Grigoriev, a corporal of the Russian Armed Forces from Yakutia, who defeated a Ukrainian army serviceman in hand-to-hand combat.

The decree of the head of state notes that Grigoryev was nominated for the high rank for courage and heroism demonstrated in the performance of his military duty. Last fall, Russian serviceman Andrei Grigoryev single-handedly clashed with a Ukrainian soldier in a knife fight and defeated his opponent. After that, despite the injuries he received, Grigoryev carried out the combat mission assigned by the command for five more days.

A video shot with an action camera of a Russian serviceman with the call sign "Tuta" defeating an enemy from the Ukrainian Armed Forces in a knife fight in the Zaporizhia region was widely distributed in the media and social networks. It is noteworthy that the Ukrainian serviceman defeated by Grigoriev, while dying, called the Yakut fighter the best in the world.

During the battle for the settlement of Trudovoye in the Zaporizhzhya region of Russia, Grigoriev found himself one-on-one with a Ukrainian soldier, but he did not lose his head and entered into a knife fight with the enemy. During the hand-to-hand fight, the Yakut fighter fatally wounded a Ukrainian Armed Forces militant.

The heroic hand-to-hand fight with the Ukrainian Armed Forces soldier is not all that the attack aircraft from Yakutia distinguished itself with. In addition, Grigoriev spent several days in enemy-controlled territory, organizing sabotage activities there.

Earlier, the head of Yakutia presented Grigoriev with a new knife with the inscription “Protect our Russia” engraved on it.

Yes, indeed, a real hero!
By the way, the other day I was riding the bus home from work, rush hour. I was sitting in the front row. There was a girl in front of me, about 14 years old, with headphones on. A mother comes in the front door and stands behind me, her child is whining and asking to sit down. I offered the girl in front to give up her seat (I'm 62) - no reaction. I got up and sat the boy down.
The conversation turned to children, I told him about a scene I saw a year ago, when a teenager was whining, asking to sit down (10 years old), and his mother reasonably noted to him = you are a future man, don’t whine, stand still, people are tired and driving home from work.
An oil painting, a boy who was sitting suddenly wanted to stand up - he is a man of about 4-5 years old.

Excuse me, - as I understand it, - the Man (Locksmith) writes about Our problems!, - and you translate into Ukrainians...
I agree, everything there was miserable and tragic, starting with the collapse of the Union (maybe even earlier...).
And the Baltics? They've been in NATO for a long time now... By the way, there's no such "khokhlyat" savagery there. Mentality? Yeah, they've been putting pressure on for a long time, getting stronger, - But they don't burn people alive!!
I will voice sedition (for someone), - come on, let's take a real look at ourselves. No, not to sprinkle ashes on our heads, not to repent before someone... So, - to compare, to contrast? After all, for the sake of truth, - neither Georgia, nor Latvia (other Union republics) "went mad" from the beginning. Correct me if I'm wrong - originally it was from EBN: "... Take as much sovereignty as you can... ".
I agree, they grabbed more than they could carry... Yes, even lift it!...
Already, - a different topic...

[Msi]

What do you suggest? As Mrs. Novodvorskaya said: "... repent..." What happened is in the past, we must move on. If we say that we have no problems, then we are lying, they do exist... And the Ukrainians, well, who do they have to blame except themselves. There was everything, cooperation, and good industry... So they wanted to accept the Nazi ideology. They cultivated hatred of Russians, of themselves, that is... Are we to blame for this? Of course not. There is a lot of work for professionals, for psychiatrists.

I think I indicated: "... I agree - everything there was miserable, tragic, starting with the collapse of the Union (maybe even earlier...) ...."
"... Are we to blame for this? Of course not...". (C). And who then? Well, if the RFSR (many today can't even spell this abbreviation!) The first, in the person of EBN, declared independence (from whom, from what?...)... Is it any wonder that such "dwarfs" (I don't want to offend States with small territories, small populations; physically, politically unable to be equal opponents, allies... Yes, - to shit under the patronage of the powers that be - is a way of survival..!).
No. I do not propose repentance, but to conduct an intelligible, stable policy. At least on the external, - and, especially, - on the internal contour. VVP is a famous talker (or, - the speaker of the oligarchy/? /; however, - it is not important anymore - more serious "problems" have arisen (maybe someone does not remember the declared war on Anglicisms?!).
/ I even remember - they prohibited increasing the volume of radio and TV channels during the commercial period!... Well, torment - it doesn't work!!! Should I remind you about the "May Decrees?"...
... Yeah, I'm waiting for commentators with questions about the "officer's daughter"...

Five minutes ago I finished communicating with the Balts (relatives, friends, classmates... - often cross paths...)... So! They have a different opinion. In the context of current events, supposedly, of course, - not surprising...
Only, there's a problem: you've probably heard about the Riga OMON of those years... Some will remember Dukalis from TV series...
And those guys who graduated later than me, slept on the same bunks, in the same barracks, - they didn't hand over their machine guns to the armory: they hung them on their beds, and RPG-7s stood by the nightstands...

In fact, screw all of them. The second is even more like a Ukrainian. If the guy knew how those he considered his own would spit on his corpse, he would give in.

And they didn’t identify the Yakut as the best Korean special forces soldier?

[Aken]

Koreans, according to Westerners, should be skinny and starved. But ours is plump. Unless we pass him off as Kim's brother.

[Andobor]

They unmistakably identified him as a Yakut by the knife, there was also a reconnaissance camera there, he himself told, he took the radio from the stabbed man, and listened to their conversations, in many ways this helped him survive, the Ukrainians understand everything, and propaganda is separate.

[Yuri L]

If it were just a boar, it wouldn't be so scary. There's only a Boar on the outside, but inside the Boar a real Inhuman has already formed, otherwise called UKR. Therefore, of course, if you had to meet one on one, then yes, of course you have to kill the Inhuman with anything, no matter how (paraphrasing Simonov "how many times you saw the Ukr, so many times kill him") with what's in your hand, or just with your teeth, because this Inhuman can very well infect the Earth. But if in general, some kind of devilish Coven of evil spirits is really forming on the urine, there are no people there in the Armed Forces of Ukraine anymore, alas. So soon it will be possible to burn out this infection only with its favorite by nature nuclear loaf, otherwise there is no way ... P.s. And the Yakuts know very well what the Abas are capable of - evil spirits of the underworld, now also called UKRs.

[Comrade Beria]

Earlier, the head of Yakutia presented Grigoriev with a new knife with the inscription “Protect our Russia” engraved on it.

[Dost]

On the other hand, you need to add "For valor" or "For bravery" Because he deserved it, and not with wishes. And it's better from the Ministry of Defense as a personalized weapon. Otherwise, the cops might arrest you, the village is theirs.

[Sergey Aleksandrovich]

"For the will to win" is even more suitable.

[Dost]

Or something similar with time adjustments

[gsev]

Quote: Sergey Alexandrovich

"For the will to win" is even more suitable.

Victory in hand-to-hand combat is higher than any award and any decoration. Grigoriev became the same symbol of Russia's desire for victory as Matrosov and Kosmodemyanskaya. Or as sniper Zaitsev, L. Leonov or A. Pokryshkin.

[stankow]

Well, they should have put a guard there, otherwise in the fight the hand slipped during the first blow. And the fight dragged on... A good knife, but traditionally a shepherd's knife, and apparently the hero will also need it for combat... We need to give him another one, he fully deserves it! Along with the star!

[Comrade Beria]

This is a regular "civilian" hunting knife, the presence of a guard would make it equal to a cold weapon. Such are the laws.
A knife is considered a cold weapon if it contains all 5 from the listed signs simultaneously:

Blade 90mm and more
Blade thickness from 2.5 to 6 mm
Steel hardness 25 HRC and more
The presence of stops and finger grooves on the handle.
Sharpened blade (cutting edge brought out).

[Sergey Aleksandrovich]

Just for fun. What if the blade is 2,3 mm thick, made of 38ХС steel, for example, and has a lanyard?

[stankow]

I say the same thing. The knife is not a combat knife, but it would be good in the hands of a fighter.

[Alf]

A real Russian soldier.

It is the Yakuts who are the greatest patriots of Russia!!! And in all modern times!

[Alexander 3]

We have many nationalities in RUSSIA.

Maybe the Supreme will learn, the enemy, having lost, tried to arrange the Minsk ones at minimum, but the Hero did not fall for it, a grenade under the armor and a control shot to the head.

[solovyov-igor]

Why do they write in a knife fight? Did the Ukrainian soldier also have a knife? Only Andrey Grigoriev had a knife. By the way, Andrey's knife was not very suitable for hand-to-hand combat. There was no guard. That's why it slipped out of Andrey's hand!

[Andobor]

Are you saying that he simply unprofessionally, with the wrong knife, slaughtered a piglet that squealed a lot and heroically called for help?

[Bad_gr]

Quote: solovyov-igor

Why do they write in a knife fight? Did the Ukrainian soldier also have a knife?

There is a video where a Yakut tells everything about this operation. Specifically about the knife: at one point, the kho_lu managed to take the knife from the Yakut (his hands were bloody, slippery) and he wounded A. Grigoriev. Later, he got the knife back. In addition to this, A. Grigoriev also blew up a warehouse belonging to the Ukrainians. He fought there for almost a week.
Personally, I have a question: what was the need to send soldiers to plant a flag in territory completely controlled by the enemy?

[Andobor]

To plant a flag is to seize territory, what do I think, couch potatoes?

[Fy;]

Isn't deception a necessity?
But I have other questions - why didn't the commander call him back after only one wounded, exhausted fighter remained from the two-man unit? Why didn't he AT LEAST send him reinforcements, since he already controlled the point?
Why wasn't he taken away immediately, but only FIVE DAYS later - and instead of evacuation and assistance, they loaded him with new combat missions?
The heroism of some is often (and as a rule) a consequence of the mis... miscalculation, so to speak, of others! And the commander here miscalculated in full. Another butcher-"belly".

[Bad_gr]

Quote: Fy;

Why didn't the commander call him back after only one wounded, exhausted fighter remained from the two-man squad?

There was no way to leave. I repeat, the territory was controlled by the enemy. And all this time the hunt for the Yakut was going on. He could not leave at night, he said that by the heat (quadcopter with IR camera) he would have been immediately identified. In general, he had the opportunity to retreat to his own people only after 5 days.

[Fy;]

It's understandable - they sent him to the enemy-controlled territory to plant a flag. And then they gave the wounded and tired soldier additional tasks.
Got it, thank you, I have no more questions - everything is already clear...

[Rakitin]

According to those who actually were there, if the assault group is unlucky right away, then out of a half-platoon (15 people) only 1-2 fighters remain alive in the enemy’s location, so they are forced to make do as best they can.

[guest]

Quote: Andobor

Are you saying that he simply unprofessionally, with the wrong knife, slaughtered a piglet that squealed a lot and heroically called for help?

Well, of course he stabbed him "undemocratically", which means the victory doesn't count.

[Letnab]

one way or another, the Ukrainian soldier had a chance to win, because he intercepted the knife and even wounded Andrey. But he failed...
And the handle of such hunting knives is not suitable for thrusting strikes; when striking an obstacle, the hand can slip, which is what happened.

[Andobor]

He lost his chance when he started squealing, cursing the help that didn’t come, like a pig being slaughtered, and he was indeed slaughtered, like a pig.

[guest]

Quote: Andobor

and he was indeed slaughtered like a pig.

I read somewhere that this creature survived.

[hhurik]

Hmm...there, in the process, they straightened the pig's eye with slate, there was such an episode.
I'm embarrassed to ask: what would you call such a fight - on slate? By the way, it was ownerless.

It is better to keep quiet and seem like a fool than to open your mouth and finally dispel doubts.

Just for comparison - what was the title of Hero of the Soviet Union awarded for::
E. M. Zaveleckiy received the title of Hero of the USSR for the fact that

On October 4, 1943, he repelled 13 enemy counterattacks with his heavy machine gun and destroyed up to a company of Nazis. On October 5, 1943, he was the first with his crew to break into the outskirts of the village of Lyutezh, shooting the enemy point-blank. Then, for 3 hours, he repelled continuous, persistent counterattacks by the Germans, who were trying to regain their lost positions. He destroyed 60 enemy soldiers and officers and held the outskirts of the village until our main forces arrived.

E.P. Zhilin

From March 26 to March 31, 1944, Guard Lieutenant Zhilin's tank platoon destroyed 35 Nazis, burned 23 enemy vehicles, and knocked out a tank. On April 24, 1944, while repelling repeated enemy attacks with his tank's fire, he destroyed 47 soldiers and officers, knocked out one armored vehicle, and burned one Tiger tank. On April 26, 1944, he burned three Tigers, and when his tank was knocked out, the crew did not leave the battlefield, continued to fight, and destroyed another Tiger tank and up to 40 enemy soldiers and officers. On April 27 and 28, continuing to repel enemy attacks, he destroyed 37 soldiers and officers, knocked out one Tiger tank and two armored vehicles.

[digger]

Times are different and the estimated value of feats is different. Today, this soldier has every right to receive the country's highest award and no one even thinks that it is undeserved. Previously, the scale was different...

[volgast1970]

My friend was carrying almost 100 kg of food to the front line and was wildly happy that it was pouring rain and the wind was blowing, and he was happy that not a single small bitch was flying in such weather. This is the kind of war we have today.

You know, a Hero is not given "just like that" automatically for a feat.
At that time, a multi-million army fought and defeated the enemy. And if Comrade Stalin were to report on every feat, he would not have time left to lead the country.
But there were, of course, individual heroes. The feat of Gastello, the feat of Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya... And how many more people accomplished similar feats and went down in history nameless?
The country needs Heroes.
And Yakut deserved this title.

You are getting minuses because you did not explain what you wanted to SAY with this comparison? Or are you not aware of how many tens of thousands of Soviet soldiers did NOT receive the award they deserved? Or did you want to belittle the feat of TUTA?

I'll tell you more, if it weren't for the Internet, Tuta wouldn't even have seen a state award, since he stayed alive, at least for being wounded - the Zhukov medal. As a participant of the SVO, I'm telling you - the Yakut's award is 100% deserved and I'm very sorry that many guys have been cheated, are cheated and will be cheated in awards!

I won't even mention that you compare the Great Patriotic War and the operation... and the time is different and the challenges and scales are not even close to being comparable. And tell me you don't know how Vera Danilovna Voloshina was awarded a well-deserved award after so many years and how many of those there were!

[Dost]

Read the memoirs of the WWII soldiers. They often mention that in 41 it was impossible to even get the "For Courage" medal, not to mention the "Red Star" or "Battle Red Banner" order. And in 44 they were already "handing out" medals and orders for not very significant achievements. Here is the data on the "For Courage" medal - 1941 (approximately 10000) and 1944 (about 1220000). The "2nd Red Star" order in 1942 (about 59000) and in 1944 (988000)

[stankow]

And rightly so. Why encourage those who retreat? They went on the offensive, and that's why the medals started pouring in. Well deserved!

[Dost]

So that they retreat less. It's just that in the initial period of the war, and in the Finnish or Khalkhin-Gol, even greater feats were accomplished and only medals were awarded. When they are given often, the value of the award is lost.

[air wolf]

Yakut, a hero, no doubt, but the question is when will they start putting incompetent commanders in jail for stupid orders? , which force our guys to paint with their lives?

[Andobor]

By any chance, you didn't take a shit? Did you come galloping to condemn our commanders?

[Dost]

It is necessary. Sometimes they send people to slaughter for the sake of appearances, like in 1941. To raise their status and "pull the wool over their eyes". My friend's husband was recently killed. On the very first day, without any coordination or familiarization with the terrain, he was sent to capture a strongpoint with other newcomers. And they all died. And remember how at the beginning of 24 they killed a battalion in a field when they sent a column to capture it. Marines, I think.

And why shouldn't they be condemned, even if they are obvious traitors? The question is purely hypothetical and is not directed against anyone personally.

I've watched the video of the fight several times. Well done, Andrey, you slaughtered the Ukrainian pig and continued fighting in this village.

Do you doubt it? Another matter is whether he managed to use it.

[volgast1970]

He managed and energetically put it into action, but very ineptly, or maybe in fear he forgot completely, from the sight of the "orc" he went crazy and squealed and raised for help, but the "khaza" preferred to squeeze, did not die for a friend, well, God be his judge. And you "hutsuls", you pissed yourself on the beach, and preferred to shake off your shame on the boy, who nevertheless died with honor.

[Andrey Yuryevich]

Awards are now leveled. They give it anyhow... To our Ambassador Charles, for a bullet in the back... A feat? Doubtful... And now for what to the fighter? As my son, a participant of his own, said, if it comes to hand-to-hand combat-knife fighting, this means extreme unprofessionalism, the enemy must be at a range of destruction from a firearm. At most, with all due respect to Andrei Grigoriev, the "Order of Courage" and the medal "for bravery" are worthy. But, to cut up a "hero" with a knife in front of the whole world... this is... too much.

[Comrade Beria]

And you (you deserve nothing more), try to get into a hand-to-hand fight yourself. Or at least protect a woman from hooligans on the street. And then open your mouth. But I'm afraid you won't be able to. Only with your tongue or fingers.

I've only been in hand-to-hand combat once,
Once in reality and hundreds of times in a dream.
Who says that the war is not scary,
He does not know anything about the war.
(c)Yulia Drunina

Quote: Comrade Beria

And you (you don’t deserve more), try to engage in hand-to-hand combat yourself.

with you (I don't deserve more) it's easy... you have a long tongue... it's easy to wrap it around...

[Comrade Beria]

Well, try it. Send me your phone number, we'll come to an agreement.

[Andrey Yuryevich]

There have been so many of these "duels" here over the last 10 years that you can't even count them... don't make my old horseshoes laugh...

[vovochkarzhevsky]

Well, try it. Send me your phone number, we'll come to an agreement.

What's interesting is why do they always ask for someone else's phone number instead of offering their own?

[Andobor]

Yakut operated behind enemy lines for 6 days and destroyed a lot there; he himself did not attach any importance to the episode of hand-to-hand combat.

[Andrey Yuryevich]

Quote: Andobor

Yakut operated behind enemy lines for 6 days and destroyed a lot there; he himself did not attach any importance to the episode of hand-to-hand combat.

Well... I'm actually for this, but they only show hand-to-hand combat to everyone, and they don't say that he killed several more in the fight, they cover it one-sidedly with an emphasis.

[Andobor]

Hand-to-hand combat footage, and the rest is the story, for those who are interested, it is posted on all resources, and not only in Russia, but in the world, but with cuts. Asians like how a Russian Asian stabbed a Ukrainian.

[matwey]

"If it comes to hand-to-hand combat, this means extreme unprofessionalism, the enemy must be within range of a firearm."
Do you even hear yourself? You're either not telling me something about your son or he never served. But you've made yourself out to be an idiot...

[volgast1970]

Hand-to-hand combat is the last argument. And what about this, excuse me, "professional"? Did he suggest throwing stones from a distance?

[shtatsov]

The video has spread all over the world. Musk published it on his page, millions of people around the world watched it. Perhaps his heroic act is worthy of an Order of Courage, I don’t really understand this. But! At least for PR around the world, Andrey Grigoriev should have been given the Hero of Russia! Let the whole world know Our Heroes!
Congratulations!

[Doctor]

Grigoriev is definitely a hero. The hand-to-hand combat is just an episode, here is the full version:

https://rusvesna.su/news/1735919504

A couple more thoughts.

A doctor I know worked in the colonies of Mordovia for over 15 years. From experience of DOUBLE-WAY KNIFE FIGHTS (most often showdowns between thieves) - the main fighters usually both die. The support group - in different ways. But this rarely happens there now, usually someone unarmed gets a pike shoved in their hand. It's very difficult to survive a mortal knife fight, in short.
Here the Yakut was of course lucky that he had a knife at hand, which does not in the least diminish his feat.

Further conclusions about the alleged uselessness of hand-to-hand combat training in modern warfare and a standard high-quality trench knife for a fighter. The simplest problem, but it has not been solved in our country. But the Armatas...

[Sergey Aleksandrovich]

Actually, in training we were taught the basics of hand-to-hand combat, but with a bayonet-knife attached to the machine gun.

[volgast1970]

Here a lot depends on the commander, he will want and train at least his unit in knife fighting. My commander was good - he taught everyone the basics of knife fighting, 2-3 techniques, so that they would not be suckers at all.

[Sergey Aleksandrovich]

That's how it was. The company commander did it almost on his own initiative.
But they shouldn't teach this with just a knife. And a bayonet knife is not very suitable for this, it's dull and not very convenient. The steel is not hard enough for sharpening.

[volgast1970]

A bayonet knife is more of a stabbing weapon and is preferable on a machine gun, but a good Finnish knife is quite versatile, since you can both stab and cut (neck, thigh, armpit).

[Sergey Aleksandrovich]

In Russia there are always problems with cold weapons. Even the Cossack saber of the 1881 model, one of the best examples of cold weapons, did not have at least a small guard to protect the hand. And the bayonet-knife is no exception, more of a decorative item than a weapon.

[stankow]

A saber does not need a guard. A saber is not used for fencing and does not deliver thrusts in any way.

[stankow]

Sergey Aleksandrovich On the contrary, the steel of the smith is very hard and even brittle. And it is not sharpened only in peacetime. It is possible at the front.

[Sergey Aleksandrovich]

And in Bulgaria, were there bayonets and knives from the USSR?

[stankow]

No, in Bulgaria the AK was produced under license. It is still produced, although the models are very far from the first samples. The quality is at a world level, highly valued.

[Sergey Aleksandrovich]

Then where does this kind of talk about the quality of the steel of the AK bayonet knife come from?

[stankow]

Personal observations. Carried, sharpened, thrown, broken And even VO had an article about this problem. The steel is good, but the sharpening of this device is only for stabbing. And to open the zinc. But a soldier needs a universal knife. And to cut, and to cook, and to eat, and, alas, to meet the enemy with dignity. There is such a category of knives - both "tactical" and "for survival".

[stankow]

And where did the pry knife go? It's no longer included in the AK-12 kit? Yes, it's imperfect as a knife, but better than nothing.

[Comrade Beria]

Poems set to music by V.S. Vysotsky (Ballad of the Struggle)
Оригинал - https://rutube.ru/video/89e6642babe7468511daf4bd96a325a3/?r=plwd

The veil of culture quickly fell from the world,
We did things with a shell and a rocket,
The children of war lived, having forgotten steel,
Excluding the polished steel of the barrel.

And when the drone's explosion deafens you,
And Yarygin will jam just as luck would have it,
The Russian warrior will remember that he is still alive,
And above the battle the knife will soar like a wing.

Two knives, two enemies - from ancient times,
And in despair the teeth sank into the face,
And a groan escapes from the enemy’s lips:
"Brother, finish me off, you're the best, and that's the end of it!"

Blued steel - short deuce control,
With the last mercy, the last salute.
And when the warrior recovers, he will be back to zero -
Those who survive in Hell will never be killed.

[Laksamana besar]

He also has five children, Hero of Russia and Father:

In total, the scout with the call sign "Tuta" spent six days behind enemy lines. He conducted reconnaissance and, as a forward gunner, adjusted artillery and aviation via radio. He reported information about the enemy to the commander in the national language, which did not allow the enemy to understand the scout's intentions.

And every time they tried to corner him and kill him, he escaped pursuit by enemy attack aircraft and drones.

Grigoriev reported that he entered into the famous hand-to-hand fight with the Ukrainian militant on November 16. But this duel took place after he and his comrade rode motorcycles to Trudovoye and raised the tricolor over the Ukrainian headquarters of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The choice of the building in the center of the village was accidental, but the enemy took it as a challenge and began hunting for Russian attack aircraft.

Grigoriev was trying to come to his senses after being wounded in a stone barn, where he was discovered by a Ukrainian militant. After a fight with him, Grigoriev had to take his radio, finish him off with a machine gun, and blow him up with a grenade.

Over the course of a week, Andrey received 14 shrapnel wounds, a knife wound to the neck and ear, but he personally destroyed an armored vehicle, several militants, a fuel and lubricants depot, a clothing depot, and also uncovered the arsenal of militants who were posing as civilians in the village. The Ukrainian militants moved around the village in ordinary civilian clothes, under which they hid radios and combat weapons.

It was this information that became decisive for the command to make the decision to storm Trudovoye and completely destroy the enemy garrison.

[_KGB-USSR_]

A movie should be made about such people, I won't take it upon myself to judge how some deserved/didn't deserve, it's not right... The man got into a situation where he had little chance of surviving, frankly speaking.. Why are you clinging to the knife fight? Study the episode as a whole in detail, put yourself in his place, then judge, then think again before opening your mouth with your assessments...
In fact, it is very sad that the award found the hero a year later and only thanks to a Ukrainian video, initially the field remained theirs and the video should have gone to the enemy. How many more such episodes that did not get into the media and sank into obscurity ... my deep bow to all the fighters who do this work ...

[Laksamana besar]

What year? It was mid-November 2024, the same year he volunteered for the SVO.

[_KGB-USSR_]

Yes, I apologize, I wrote incorrectly about a year having passed.

[volgast1970]

I knew guys from Yakutia. Especially hunters. In winter in the taiga, when meeting a regular, if a bullet doesn't kill you, then they take you to the knives, and a bear is faster than a khokhol. That's why, unlike the enemy, I went silently as if to a connecting rod and fought silently. In general, Siberians go to the knives boldly and let Europe know about it and be afraid!

[2 Level Advisor]

Quote: volgast1970

if they don't kill you with a bullet, they take you to the knife, and the bear is faster than the Ukrainian

Have you ever seen a bear up close? With a knife at a bear and that's normal? Aha... write more..

[stankow]

And in general this knife is for a deer. Tied with a lasso. They used a spear to hunt a bear. In the pre-gunpowder era.

[ergh081]

On such guys, outwardly unremarkable, sometimes nondescript and clumsy, Russia stood and will stand in war, and in civilian life. I will never forget the first videos of the war in Donbass: Motorola (Arsen Pavlov) - a thin, sinewy guy with a red beard, taught newcomers to shoot from an ATGM: "Vedi-vedi-vedi." Their name is the Russian soldier. Eternal memory to the fallen, honor and respect - to those who defended the freedom and independence of our Motherland

[Terenin]

Of course, the fighter deserves the award. And the President of Russia has defined what the exact status of this award is.
My congratulations to fighter Grigoriev!

Anyone who wants to repeat, takes a knife and goes to "zero".

[Sergey Prutkov55]

They should have no fuel at all. Ships, trains and fuel storage facilities must be destroyed. Let them try to fight with oxen! With their fierce resistance and shelling of civilians they have shown that they are complete strangers and enemies to us. From here the only solution is to divide the outskirts and return all our cities and lands. Novorossiya and Malorossiya home!

[Andrey Yuryevich]

It never occurred to anyone that they sentenced a man with such PR... well, no brains - consider him a cripple.

[_KGB-USSR_]

This came to mind, after the Chechen war, they also hunted our famous fighters. Do you think the public does not need to know our heroes and their actions? During the Great Patriotic War, such people were not hidden. I think those who are afraid will give interviews with their faces covered

[Dilettante grandfather]

Has it ever occurred to you that a country should know its heroes? Know them by sight, by name? And hiding from rats, in my opinion, is not particularly heroic. Yes, families should be hidden/protected. But somehow I don't connect the Star award and secrecy.

[Vlad Baryatinsky]

Quote: Andrey Yurievich

It never occurred to anyone that they sentenced a man with such PR... well, if you don't have any brains, consider yourself a cripple

Well, what are you really?
But they don’t bother with such “subtleties and details” here.

[BAI]

After this, despite the injuries he received, Grigoriev carried out the combat mission assigned by the command for another five days.

Here again, the feat of some is the crime of others. And journalists don't even see this. They cut the truth to the end.
Does the command not care? Die there, but there will be no replacement for the wounded?!
Someone fights alone for 20 days, another is wounded for 5 days without replacement, and the command covers its ass with someone else's heroism?

[North watchmen]

There is a devaluation of all titles.
The Hero of the USSR title was awarded for an outstanding feat.

[Dilettante grandfather]

There is a devaluation of all titles.

Comrade, are you against awarding this Hero? Are you ready to demonstrate your feats at the LBS? Are they more serious? What problems, lay them out if you consider yourself more worthy.

[North watchmen]

I am not your comrade. Yes, I am against it, because:
- this is not the business of the head of state;
- those who have accomplished a feat must be rewarded;
-Are you ready to present your exploits?

[Dilettante grandfather]

I'm not your friend

Who would have doubted it!

Yes, I am against it, because:
- this is not the business of the head of state;
- those who have accomplished a feat must be rewarded;

Please, in which paragraph of which document is this stated?

-Are you ready to present your exploits?

Of course. But it is impolite to answer a question with a question. So, I wait.

[Dilettante grandfather]

The man deserves this award. Rather, we, the couch warriors, do not deserve it. Long life to him, good luck and happiness.

[senima56]

Hero! God bless you!

[Ryaruav]

in the domestic in 42 (maybe a mistake) in the gray zone in a hut, or rather what was left of a hut, our RG and the Finnish RG met and fought in complete silence, otherwise our artillery would have covered them, they went their separate ways, each taking their wounded, but no one received the title of Hero of the Soviet Union, that's what I'm talking about, and about the fact that the guarantor simply devalued all the awards

[Sergey Aleksandrovich]

And when Pavel Grachev received the title of Hero of the Soviet Union as a major general, was everything correct? Didn't the then guarantor devalue anything in 1988?
And he, as it were, is not the only general, then, in this capacity.

[BAI]

A lot has been written here about who is worthy and who is not worthy of the title.
In any case, the guy has more rights to the award than any high-ranking asshole who lived in a high chair until the anniversary.

[certero]

Quote: vet

Just for comparison - what was the title of Hero of the Soviet Union awarded for::
E. M. Zaveleckiy received the title of Hero of the USSR for the fact that

On October 4, 1943, he repelled 13 enemy counterattacks with his heavy machine gun and destroyed up to a company of Nazis. On October 5, 1943, he was the first with his crew to break into the outskirts of the village of Lyutezh, shooting the enemy point-blank. Then, for 3 hours, he repelled continuous, persistent counterattacks by the Germans, who were trying to regain their lost positions. He destroyed 60 enemy soldiers and officers and held the outskirts of the village until our main forces arrived.

E.P. Zhilin

From March 26 to March 31, 1944, Guard Lieutenant Zhilin's tank platoon destroyed 35 Nazis, burned 23 enemy vehicles, and knocked out a tank. On April 24, 1944, while repelling repeated enemy attacks with his tank's fire, he destroyed 47 soldiers and officers, knocked out one armored vehicle, and burned one Tiger tank. On April 26, 1944, he burned three Tigers, and when his tank was knocked out, the crew did not leave the battlefield, continued to fight, and destroyed another Tiger tank and up to 40 enemy soldiers and officers. On April 27 and 28, continuing to repel enemy attacks, he destroyed 37 soldiers and officers, knocked out one Tiger tank and two armored vehicles.

Have you already seen the award document where it is written why it was given?
Therefore, your attempts to present the fighter’s feat as something unworthy of the title of hero are inappropriate.

[Christophe_Nicolas]

Il mérite son titre de héros des soldats...

[PValery53]

Yakut Andrey Grigoriev is a worthy son of Russia, a Hero! He defeated a more powerful enemy and survived! He fulfilled his duty with honor! Honor and respect!

[Comrade Beria]

To sum up the heated debate, we need to see what those who took Upper Lars write about this.
I quote it in full.

Briefly about the author:
Russian journalist, used to work for Radio Liberty. Currently lives in either Latvia or Lithuania. Right now he is collecting money for the Georgian Legion of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, and is emotionally rousing the audience. On Khodorkovsky's payroll. And not Kushner, but Kushnar.
He was put on the wanted list for a criminal offense, according to the wanted list database of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Some who belittle the feat of our fighter must recognize themselves in this offspring.

[2 Level Advisor]

and what does Lars have to do with it, if he already lived among the tribalts before 2022 and wrote similar opuses? this is "Radio Liberty"...

[smart ass]

I watched the video of this fight, the dryer turned out to be a seasoned Nazi

[23ronin]

A good soldier is a living soldier, and if he also wins the battle, HE IS A HERO! As they say-

[_KGB-USSR_]

To complete the episode, I will add how the Ukrainians marked their dead compatriot on social networks; I think there is no point in translating from the pig language, everything is clear anyway...

[stankow]

How much stuff is there on the vest, but there was no knife and the cartridges ran out? It may be inconvenient, but before breaking into the yard, join a knife-man? Or is there no such thing in the kit anymore?

[stankow]

Definitely a fake.

[Igor1915]

It is somewhat strange that the fighter received a well-deserved award thanks to a video of his defeated opponent.

[HaByxoDaBHocep]

Yakut is of course a hero, but why does no one ask the question, what was he doing there alone? Probably because they were sent as a group of two people to put a flag in the NP for a report

[Yuri L]

Of course, Grigoriev deserved the Hero's star. However, from now on we should not award a star for just one individual non-human who went home to Hell, but simply declare gratitude to the crew who accurately directed the missile with the same TNW, creating a vector of movement for hundreds of thousands of extremely poisonous individuals of the Non-human at once to the same address.

[Andrey_5]

Honestly, I couldn't even watch it, it's horrible that people tear each other apart with their hands, much worse than in the horrible scene from the movie Saving Private Ryan.

[Iris]

The guy is heroic, no questions asked. There are questions about the award system as such and the grounds for awarding. There are many known cases when those nominated for an award receive a verbal "thank you" (at best), and those not involved learn about their "feat" from the newspapers. There is no need to talk about the status of the awards - it is separate, the awards - separately. In the Ministry of Defense under Shoigu, almost fifty departmental medals appeared, including for participation in a parade, arriving for duty on time, carrying out duty on a day off, etc. I am exaggerating, of course, but when I saw a cadet corps alumnus with three medals on his chest, I shuddered.
