Why did they cover the coffin with tricolor? He kind of fought and died under the red banner, and only Vlasovians used the tricolor in those years.

Honors are given on behalf of the state.

The main thing is that this cemetery should be specifically a MEMORIAL WAR, that is, it would preserve the memory of the country's real military defenders, and not of the crooks and crooks who had come to power.
It is important that it does not turn into a resting place for the linden military people, like the self-appointed colonel of the reserve Serdyukov, the statesman of Judas Gorbi, the muddy hero of the Russian Federation Ramzan Akhmadych and the like.

I am very alarmed at some points of Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of February 25, 2004 N 105 "On the Federal War Memorial Cemetery", according to which the following may be buried there:
point e) veterans of public service, that is, almost all officials - from the State Duma to the district administration
point l) other citizens - by decision of the President of the Russian Federation or the Government of the Russian Federation. Well, under such cover, anyone can be buried there at all.

If it becomes the burial place of mostly those in power and those close to them, then this will simply be blasphemy towards the real defenders of the country.

The song is good, sincere.

Have you decided to catch up with S_mirnov? They bury him in Russia. Understand there is no more Union. Stop sprinkling ash on your head and live nostalgia for the past. We must live in the present.

[Aleks tv]

It always becomes uncomfortable when you try on the "skin" of 1941 of the year to the present ...

Thank you for standing up.
I bow to you.

Eternal memory to the Heroes of the Liberators.
The main thing on this day is to pay tribute to the memory, not to put a flower, and "Well done." I hope people will remember that.

[polly]

Thanks to him for not giving up!

A good song from the movie "Red Fountains" takes the soul ... Thanks to the veterans for having withstood all the horrors of the war and did not flinch.

[combat192]

The song is good, and the clip is disgusting. Filmed by amateurs who saw the army only in Hollywood films and saved on a consultant.

[d_trader]

I agree. And the film is short and really shot by amateurs.

Well, if this is a memorial cemetery, then on it you need to install granite slabs with the names of all those who died for their homeland, and it doesn’t matter if a person performed a feat or died after being blown up by a mine or from a sniper bullet, before he can even shoot once, it’s important that was there and gave his life.

[Russ69]

I liked the song ...

Russian Arlington?

In this connection, the question arises - why until now the search for the remains of the dead is based on the enthusiasm of the search engines. Is it really impossible to allocate at least one unit from each district to help them; to transfer relevant property to search engines and generally raise this business to the state level how is this done in other countries? That again there is no money or desire, it is probably easier to pronounce words of duty on mournful days. Really, the words of A.V. Suvorov that the war is not over until the last soldier is buried will remain words and our authorities will finally not be able to finally pay off their last duty to their defenders.

... why the search for the remains of the dead rests on the enthusiasm of the search engines.

I hasten to reassure you.
You are clearly not in the subject, and therefore, rush to stick labels on government agencies.
Almost 10 years ago, Russia's first 90th separate search battalion was formed. He is deployed in the village. Mga of the Leningrad region. His search companies have been working for more than a year at the Sinyavinsky Heights.
There is a search company in the Belarusian army.
There was an idea to form another search battalion near Rostov, but they abandoned it.
I will explain why. The reason is simple. The search season in the 90th OPB begins in mid-May, and ends around 10 October.
In winter, search work is not conducted. Ineffectively. Danger to the health of personnel. And there’s no point in freezing the fighters. Again, it’s expensive to keep 500 people in the field year-round.
But it is also unprofitable to maintain a military unit that deals with this business for only 6 months out of 12. At the same time, a soldier, by and large, does not receive military training, and in case of war, where should he go? What quality do you want him to use in wartime, if he only used a shovel and pickaxe in military service?
Therefore, this idea is likely to be abandoned. And it is right. Volunteer search squads are more effective.
Now for help.
Here you are also not in the subject. There are several quite professional search associations in the Novgorod region that have been raising the remains of the fallen for many years. The word "Valley" for example tells you something?
So, several dozens of trucks, about a dozen tracked MTLBs, tents, beds, field kitchens, dishes, trench tools, power plants, and wired communications were transferred to them from storage bases of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. Moreover, everything was donated, that is, for nothing.
The administration of the Novgorod region provides assistance in the field of fuel and lubricants and food.
But such assistance from the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation turns out to be stable, almost professional search teams and associations with the participation of local authorities. If you took a shovel in your hand and declared yourself a search engine, then you will not be of any help as a beginner. Only after years, only through specific results, and only when you are legally registered as a legal entity (bank details, legal and physical address, charter, storage tanks for property, equipment storage areas, a specialist for working with documents in military archives, and so on) .P.)
Therefore, if you meet the above criteria, then write to Moscow to the Administrative Department of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation and they will help you.
If you are a loner, then to begin with, take part in the work of one of the search squads.
Good luck!
