"One-third of 200 my fighters killed theirs." The last minutes of the life of Colonel Radzievsky National Guard, who was killed in the back by hisA militia fighter tells about the last minutes of the life of Colonel National Guard Radievsky, who died in the assault of Lysychansk with his unit.

Mortally wounded Radievsky captured defenders Lysychansk.

- Who are you?

- I'm a colonel,

- zazhralis?

- No, I am an officer and earned my rank with honor.

He was wounded in the right kidney with a shot from his back. The militiamen asked him the question of how many fighters he had.

“200,” answered Radievsky.

- Where are they?

- They are no longer there.

According to Radievsky 2 / 3, his fighters of the National Guard were destroyed by the militia and 1 / 3 were destroyed by those who sent him to the assault of Lysychansk.

The militia led the death words of the Colonel of the National Guard under.

“We came to save you from the separatists, but we saw that all people here are separatists. But I am a soldier who executes an order "...

Recall that on July 23, during the storming of Lysychansk (LNR), the commander of the National Guard under No. XXUMX of the Central Operational and Territorial Association, Colonel Alexander Radievsky, was killed.

Militants of the punitive battalion "Chernigov" entered the city, confident that the militia completely left the neighborhood Lysychansk. As usual, they began to be photographed against the background of city sights and reported to the management on the successful operation to free an important settlement.

The defense of Lysychansk was managed by a volunteer with the call sign “Leshy”. While driving through the city, Radievsky and his subordinates ran into one of the ambushes of militiamen near Titova street. New fascists were shot by automatic fire weapons.

“There was such a meat grinder that they threw both dead and wounded soldiers. On the streets, the corpses lie in the open air, ”- said a local resident.


In the area of ​​the building Lysychanskogo SBU there is no surviving home.

"This is not even Slavyansk ... this is Chechnya ... mash and ruins," say the townspeople.

Earlier, the President of Ukraine, Petro Poroshenko, on July 15, by his decree, awarded Radievsky with the Order for Courage, 3rd Class.

In the photo, Radievsky and the militants of the Chernigov battalion at the entrance to Lisichansk are still alive ...

      Not much is not good for them alignment comes out.
      Now only draftees in Galicia behave more competently, so that they would not get into the war and die like dogs, they started hunting in the woods.
      Honor is not enough, but they will remain alive and you look, they will forgive them again. And those who are already in the army, they are all 99%.

          It turns out that these all-knowing townspeople have been in Slavyansk and in the Chechen trouble, or are they not citizens, but visitors? Most likely this is a literary treatment of a journalist, to give the report color. Syrian gouged into stone fragments of the city - a more recent example for comparison.

              Look, soon this senseless war is over. Shell is closing its gas production project in Ukraine. Trial drilling of wells in Slavyansk showed that there are no shale gas deposits for production on an industrial scale in the Donbass!
              For that is, the alleged field under the Lviv, Ternopil regions and part of Poland.
              So soon rogues in our shoes will be prompted. And we have New Russia, a military court, etc.

      It is important that the people themselves understand that they are the people. Where are the inhabitants of Odessa and Kharkov? Where are the 20 million Russians who were recorded as Ukrainians? How much are they going to sit out?
      We need to destroy the mongrels and militants of the junta wherever possible, we need a partisan movement in occupied Ukraine. It is necessary to destroy the punishers and their training camps. I saw a drinking militant in a bar, joined him, treated him to a beer, praised him for his "work." Then he took him to the taxi and broke his head. I saw a jackal living at the entrance, destroyed it at the first opportunity. So that these dogs do not feel safe anywhere.

      What? is it a betrayal? instead of betraying connivance when the Natsik stormed Kiev, overthrowing the legitimately elected president? What? was he an oligarch and stole? and Yatsenyuk, Turchinov, Tymoshenko, now Poroshenko?

      to go over to the side of the people when power begins to genocide, too, courage is needed, and obeying criminal orders is not courage, but an excuse for desperation of hopelessness.

      I’ll take my greatcoat and my duffel bag and hard hat,
      In protective painted stain,
      I’ll hit a step along the humpbacked streets ...
      How easy it is to become a soldier, a soldier.

      Forget all the household chores
      No salary, no work -
      I’m going to myself, playing automatically
      How easy it is to be a soldier, a soldier!

      And if something is wrong - it's not our business:
      As they say, the motherland ordered!
      How glorious to be guilty of nothing
      A very simple soldier, a soldier.

      Since spring, TV has been broadcasting "novosti" about the fighting on the border between the RF Armed Forces and the valiant army of Ukraine.
      Now they show "Putin" with "bellicose" speeches. The double was picked up badly. Too young.
      And we are robbing Ukraine of unfair gas prices. Hence the slogans that Russia lives at the expense of Ukraine and the new just authorities will not allow this. Europ and the USA will help.
      Now the new "fair" Ukrainian government is fighting for the unity of the country and the return of Crimea.

      And he believes. That’s all new meat creeping into the war.

      And how did we believe Gorbatom and Yeltsin? And they just blew us and robbed us. Now the same thing is repeated among them. Only with the civil war.

      what to be proud of? that he died defending the Motherland, following orders? so there is nothing to be proud of, how many militias were there, a hundred? the battalion was defeated, 200 "200s", the order was not carried out. Sorry for the man, the colonel is gone. but there is no joy either, that another 200 people of Ukrainians were destroyed - if it were not much differently, they could be allies, but became "dill". the funny thing is that in February, no sound was heard from the army, when the coup was taking place, the army could only murmur that the army was out of politics, and now every day there is a new battalion, and it wants to defend the "integrity of Ukraine." Ay, APU, and where were you when they dropped YOUR commander-in-chief, everyone was waiting for an order. everything resembles 1917, February.

      And, excuse me, the best is who? Entot officer who there something about some honor mumbled? fool And talks about some orders? It would be an honor he would never, NEVER give the order to shoot, including in residential areas. History has repeatedly told about executions by its own officers for not fulfilling orders on the execution of civilians. Officer and honor are one and the same!

      With inhuman effort
      the dying man tried to crawl to his field marshal.
      "Don't bother yourself, my valiant warrior!" - exclaimed
      Field Marshal, got off his horse and held out his hand.
      "Alas, Mr. Field Marshal," the dying warrior sighed,
      both hands were broken. I ask you only about one thing. Tell me
      the truth: victory is ours? "
      “Follow us, my dear brother,” the field marshal answered affectionately.
      What a pity that your joy is clouded by injury. "
      "Yes, highly esteemed leader, I am finished," - the weakening
      uttered a dying voice, smiling pleasantly.
      "Do you want to drink?" Radetzky asked.
      "It was a hot day, Mr. Field Marshal. Over thirty
      degrees of heat ".
      Then Radetzky took a march from one of his adjutants
      flask, handed it to the dying. Last one in one gulp
      quenched his thirst.
      "May God reward you a hundredfold!" - exclaimed
      he, trying to kiss the hand of his commander.
      "How long have you served?" the latter asked.
      "More than forty years old, Mr. Field Marshal. Aspern has
      received a gold medal. He fought under Leipzig, received
      "cannon cross". Five times I was mortally wounded, and now I
      the end has come. But what a blessing, what a bliss that I survived
      up to this day! What is death to me, since we won and
      the emperor has his lands returned! "
      At this moment, dear soldiers, from the camp
      came the majestic sounds of our anthem, "God bless us,
      sovereign. "Powerfully and solemnly they sounded over the field
      the battle. And the warrior saying goodbye to life once again tried
      get up.
      “Long live Austria!” He exclaimed frantically.
      Long live Austria! May our noble
      anthem! Long live our commander! Long live the army! "
      The dying man bowed once more to the field hand of the field marshal,
      kissed her and fell; the last silent breath escaped from him
      noble breasts. The commander with his head uncovered stood in front of
      the corpse of one of his best soldiers.
      "One can only envy such a wonderful death", -
      the field marshal said sensibly and covered his face with his hands.
      Dear warriors, I wish you all to live to such a beautiful
      of death!..
      Recalling this speech of Chief Field Officer Ibl, Schweik had

    I already looked at "Russian Spring" before. It is unlikely that he is stubborn-Svidomo, he served in the BB, and then got on the distribution. It’s interesting to me that the heroes-ukroartillerists have not yet been made public. They have in the structures of the ukroarmiya such an important unit as URAV (control of missile and artillery weapons). So she (who knows who served) is responsible for combat use, supply of ammunition, analysis of combat training and much more). The head of this office is in the studio. Who are the purely artillery units assigned to: the National Guards, mechanized and airmobile brigades? Who commands them? Specifically, a unit commander or a separate artillery commander in himself? It is these comrades who need to be hung for one place in the squares of the cities they are shelling.

      It’s obvious that you didn’t serve in the army, since you are asking such questions. I explain: I was probably demanding, I did not allow the rabble, which he was given to subordinate to rape, rob, etc.

        Hardly! He was killed when they saw that they had got into a slap and taken prisoner, and since he knew something that others should not have known, Avakov or Kolomoisky were with him, I don’t understand their hired battalions and put a kind of bodyguard on them!
        And if, as you say, he would have been killed for decency - that would have been done long ago, somewhere in the forest belt!

    Eh ... here I look at the majority and it becomes disgusting. And no less annoying. Guys, are you off the chain then? Listen to yourself - "Uuuu bastards, all to the knives!", "Bring the dill!", "Yes, they are all Bandera and fascists!"
    A little more and you can hear the slogans "We are the best!", "We are God's chosen race." etc. Those slogans that sounded and still sound there.
    Now think - how did the Russian soldier feel and look if he walked that way? Burning villages, cities, carving and raping everyone in their path as the army of the French, Germans, Americans. Boasting that only he is right. There would have been no walls of memory in the Bundesweira on which our grandfathers and fathers signed in the 45th. There would be no squares with Soviet names in France, Germany, Austria. There would be no museum named after A.V.Suvorov in Switzerland.
    No, I do not urge to regret and sympathize with them, the garbage that shoot their civilians. But all the hatred must be exactly until the moment the enemy is laid in the ground. After that, you can’t say good things about him (but what can I say?), But it’s not bad either. Why ask? Because there is a memory, and while the memory of a person is alive, his goals and ideals are still alive.
    And so ... lies an nameless corpse - and what to remember and say about it? Never mind. The most terrible and cruel is oblivion. You need to remember only the good, otherwise, as the Buddhists say, karma deteriorates.

    Everything is ready for the cons.

      Personally, I will not minus, because there is nothing to rejoice here: the Slavs kill the Slavs! And I’ll stand up for the comrades a little, all the same it is a journalistic site and it is intended, among other things, for emotions, than just for a cold and sober analysis, in real life it is unlikely that each of us will operate with the slogans that you brought!
      There are more momentary emotions here and it's not bad that there is such a platform!
      And so you are right, but with the exception of one, this colonel is not a salab from a Zapadensky farm, who has been driven into the brain that he is going to fight for the freedom of Ukraine against aliens from Chechnya! The colonel knew perfectly well that he was going to fight against his own people, which means that he is not an executive officer, a dead soldier, but a murderer and executioner! And this cannot be forgiven!
      Here is the thing!

        Ahem, I will not quote Christian dogmas. I’ll say a little easier. It is on such momentary impulses that the crowd’s reaction is built. Many here know how to make color, it’s not for nothing that they read topwar, I hope at least. Just at the momentary impulse, until the society realized and understood. But he realizes and understands, or simply takes it cynically, then it won’t go anywhere. That's all, the impulse drowned. The bonfire went out.
        I want to note that only a cold head can help us solve all the problems that Ukraine faces before us. Think for yourself - there were snipers in Kiev and Crimea.
        In Kiev, they shot a couple and the dam broke. Someone shouted our bytes and away we go (it’s very rude because those streams have been rushing for a long time, but the scheme is about the same).
        In Crimea, when everyone was sitting on a powder keg, the question was who would give the spark to the wick. They gave a spark. But if they ran around, they panicked with momentary emotions, then a blood bath would have started there, becoming the same bleeding scar as New Russia. But there was a cynical and cold calculation. They simply put out the wick with a flick of the wrist (that is, they took the sniper) and that’s all.

        Have I ever said a word about forgiving? Do not forgive, but cross out, burn and forget.

        Also, given that we are at least not on the front where the shells shoot and are torn, but, as it seems to many, in the rear, we are still the line of defense and attack. We are bombed not by tearing the flesh, but by tearing the soul.

      If the enemy does not surrender, they will destroy him ... Vlasov, you know, was also a Slav ... So, he was not worthy of being hanged in 46? Or should I regret that the Slav died ???

      I won't put a minus, but I will note the following. Russian soldiers never showed cruelty to prisoners and sympathized with the civilian population (if there were moments, they were in the department of pure casuistry). We have always either punished or sympathized, but this concerns the war, the response to expansion. If I understand correctly the phrase "Russian soldier". And what do we see here? A civil war, not even a civil war, but the extermination of the country's population by a brown plague. And I consider it inappropriate and immoral to draw such parallels.

    An officer who ambushed his subordinates. What an officer he is. Let them have more of these. Rather out of breath. They shot their own there in the back, or framed - it doesn’t matter. Why did you die? For a myth invented and implanted in the brains of so many people.

      A couple of days ago in Russia24 I heard the testimony of the People’s Deputy of the DPR about the fighting at Saur Mogile. Ahead, the National Guard is advancing to a height, and behind them stand guard battalions. When trying to move away they shoot. As a result, the deputy 2 times witnessed the battles between the National Guard and those who shoot him in the back.
      All of them, like rams as rams, are driven only forward, and new meat will arrive as a result of mobilization.

    If the warrior, with the rank of colonel, is sure that in eastern Ukraine terrorists and a small handful of separatists seized power from which the population should be freed, then what about the rest of the country's population. So ... brain dill population dill. He has a lot to go through before enlightenment comes. And it will come, I think, by the new year.

    I had to visit many points, what kind of soldier is this killer. Will a soldier fire a volley from installations in the city where children live, will a soldier and an officer fire from a tank at a residential building, will a pilot bomb the city? Yes, such scumbags also fired from tanks at the "White House" in Russia, but then they committed suicide, tortured conscience The Ukrainian military should not flee to Russia, but turn weapons against the junta. It is advisable to save Ukraine, not to destroy it and give it to the United States.

    And here it is strange to me that this miracle speaks of honor before death. It means that it believes in what it says. Moreover, this is not a representative of the "Pepsi generation". And not a janitor with a certificate from a psychiatric hospital and four years of school. This is a person with higher education, a colonel of the armed forces. And HOW you can fool such a person, even if they are driving all sorts of blizzards about terrorists on TV. But these "terrorists" are for Russia, and Russia is our common homeland, he grew up and was brought up on this. I do not understand...

    Too late it comes to ukrov that the people are fighting against them, much time will pass for the zombie brains to brighten.     unfortunately almost nothing reaches them .. watch the video with the fighters and their mothers .. the main emphasis is that we are fighting poorly, because of poor security there is nothing to eat, armor and weapons are not enough .. none of them say that they are fighting in mostly with civilians, they are not ashamed of participating in the war against their people .. hungry .. yes .. and they want to fight in comfort .. and mothers and wives at the military registration and enlistment offices .. no one calls for an end to the massacre, they want to rotate their relatives .. they fought and woke up .. the turn of others .. they sacredly believe that they are fighting for the independence of Ukraine and everyone who is not the enemy with them .. it’s later, when they are captured they pour tears and type of repentance ... and how many prisoners are the militia let go home ?? the wounded were treated in Russia and back to the war ...
