At the exhibition devoted to the First World War, the portrait of grandfather Churkin was presented

At the exhibition dedicated to the First World War, which takes place at the UN headquarters in New York, was presented a group portrait of Russian gunners, including the grandfather of the permanent representative of the Russian Federation to the world organization Vitaly Churkin, reports RIA "News".

In the old picture you can see Vasily Egorovich Churkin, standing surrounded by fellow soldiers with a saber in their hands. The grandfather of the Russian permanent representative went through the whole war, reaching the borders of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

The exhibition at the UN headquarters was organized by the Permanent Mission of the United Kingdom, which presides over the World Organization’s Security Council in August. On it you can get acquainted with the poems of the poets of the member countries of the Council, which are devoted to that war. Russia is the work "Offensive", written by Nikolai Gumilyov.

It’s not for nothing that our plenipotentiary at the forefront is a family ...

[Vik.Tor]

I hope the grandson will repeat the success of his grandfather and increase!

[Duke]

Family traditions, this is the main thing.

[Nevsky_ZU]

Not even a picture, politeness and education

[Snake831]

Politeness, nobility, compassion are the distinctive features of Russian soldiers, which was repeatedly noted even by our "sworn" friends. And the officers, moreover, were superbly intelligent and educated. Eh Empire ... My dream is that the two-headed eagle of the Russian Empire, again spread his wings over the world.

Feeling the old-fashioned traditions in Vitaly Ivanovich! Chopping the enemies of Russia like his grandfather only in the political arena!
The main thing is Vitaly Ivanovich, do not pay attention to the "Patients of ward No. 6" with whom you have to communicate, take care of your nerves;)!

Eternal Glory to the Heroes of the First World War.

[I am proud of Russia]

It’s good that they took up the history of the First World War, which for us, as it were, was simply the threshold of the revolution.

It would also be nice to recall them about the Second World War.

We have respectable ancestors, worthy successors of the work of the defenders of Russia.
Such people, the core of the nation !!!

[Giant thought]

All of us have ancestors somehow participated in the First World War.

[djtyysq]

Well done grandson, worthy of a grandfather!

[mackonya]

This is called "Serving my Fatherland" already in the blood.

[Serega13]

Great !!! The whole world must be constantly reminded that we are not made with a finger !!! And then the stage of relaxation very quickly comes at all "exceptional", I can not call them a nation.

[work67]

Looks like it! Here the dynasty protects the homeland. And how many there are millions in Russia!

[arch_kate3]

I hope that current politicians will not repeat the mistakes of that war! History needs to be known in order to create the present and the future!

The grandfather of the Russian permanent representative went through the whole war, reaching the borders of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.

And they are not afraid there that his grandson can reach Washington, but not with a saber?

With "Bulava" and Russian obscenities, so that all around!

Churkinu respect and respect

[propolsky]

This is the continuity of generations in the defense of the motherland on the fronts, albeit different, but for one just cause!

[PValery53]

Honor and respect for the Churkin dynasty! In the photo - simple Russian soldiers, patriots of the First World War.

[pinecone]

Vitaly Ivanovich Churkin is our pride, a true Russian patriot.

It's only a shame that the RIA journalist turned out to be illiterate. There was no need for our soldiers to "get" to the borders with Austria-Hungary, since at that time both empires were already bordering on each other.

[Small Saturn]

It is incomprehensible ... in the article, Vasily Yegorovich Churkin’s grandfather, Wikipedia names Ivan Nikolaevich Churkin’s father ? Vasily and Nikolai are not even close at all ... Where is the truth?

[Panikovsky]

perhaps the brother of a grandfather, also a grandfather.

[Kulneff2009]

Churkin-Umnitsa! Worthy of a grandfather!

[Arh]

ATTACK OF THE DEAD !!! 60 Russian soldiers went on the attack after chlorine and spitting out pieces of the lungs at the gymnast, thereby 4 German regiments were draping !!!

[sabakina]

It was a pity, not everyone remembers ...

[Marisat]

Gumilyov
Offensive
The country that could be a paradise
Became a den of fire.
We are approaching the fourth day,
We have not eaten for four days.
But do not be earthly
In this terrible and bright hour,
Because the word of the Lord
Better bread feeds us.
And drenched in blood week
Dazzling and light.
Shrapnel rushes over me
Birds soar blades.
I scream and my voice is wild.
This copper strikes copper.
I, the bearer of great thought,
I can not, I can not die.
Like thunder hammers
Or waves of angry seas
Golden heart of Russia
Rhythmically beats in my chest.
And so sweet to win the Victory,
Like a girl in pearls
Walking on the smoke trail
Retreating enemy.

[Mountain shooter]

The "military bone" is immediately visible. And the grandfather was a fine fellow, and the grandson did not disappoint.

[wladimir]

Issue in the future a saber from the museum and let him go to a meeting with her, maybe at least he will learn how to protect the interests of the Motherland.
And then so far only late with their performances, and even they are toothless.

[provincial]

To build a column of residents of the West and the USA, to lead them through all museums about the war and the suffering of the people of the planet. Maybe a little wiser.

[serjant4]

grandson did not shame grandfather! well done!

[Elena Bor]

And Khabarov’s ancestors are all military. They did not shame either. I wonder how he is? Is he alive?

[Nikitich]

Vitaly Ivanovich has the character of a warrior! That's what he said at a meeting of the UN Security Council: "We categorically do not accept offensive statements about our country. If the US delegation counts on our cooperation in the Security Council on other issues, then Ms. Power should firmly learn this."

[albai]

Yeah, here it is, as they say, blood is not water. That's where it comes from, inflexibility, argumentation, logic, and I’m not afraid to say, sovereignty, in political battles on the diplomatic front. Well done Vitaliy Ivanovich!
