        Eternal memory to you, HEROES! A moment of silence! soldier

        PS: About the general Russian events - an excess! Otherwise, Russia will mourn every day, because in all cities there are many heroes who fell for their homeland! It is necessary in each city to honor your heroes and to know, remember that they are not alone! What All of Russia mourns!
        Pskov should understand this too! On such days, the TV program needs to include programs, films, reports, interviews with colleagues, commanders of veterans, dedicated to the exploits of these Heroes! As well as on the day of Kursk, and many, many other famous and unknown.

        Yes, these guys are worthy of an all-Russian scale and the President’s personal participation in events in their memory. And the Shaman is well done. And he remembers the guys, and he did not let the airborne forces gobble up the stool.

        Oh well. For me, all-Russian events should be of a slightly different kind, organizational. Two days killed our guys. Including friendly fire. The weekly command had not yet realized anything. They punished the switchman, Melentyev’s regiment, the poor fellow died of a heart attack, the heart of this shame could not stand it. Perhaps his fault, the most insignificant, and the fact that he did not shoot himself. And the lamp-creatures, received new ranks and posts, valuable gifts, poured cognac under the caviar. I don’t even want to give the names. The boys were made heroes. And why make them, they were like that. They were taught this from the desk. They did not fight for ranks. Not for money, and even
        not for Chich’s ears. I do not feel pride, bitterness and anger only.

          I do not feel pride, bitterness and anger only.



          Then the "switchman" was punished for the death of the paratroopers' heroes: the regimental commander Melentyev was transferred to Ulyanovsk by the chief of staff of the brigade. The commander of the Eastern group, General Makarov (six times asked Melentiev to give the company the opportunity to step back and not kill the children) and another general, Lentsov, who led the airborne task force, also remained on the sidelines.


          Many questions to the famous names of other generals ...
          they are unlikely to risk telling the whole truth ... because it is very cruel to them.

          And to the soldiers and officers of this regiment, my deepest respect and respect for the conscientious fulfillment of military duty.

            The fact of the matter is that we are following the path of war, and the road is strewn with the bones of our comrades. And friends. Every step - crunches. And it hurts in our heart. And still alive, from what was lucky. From that we turn to each other, - brother. And there is no need for any evidence, no court verdicts to understand who is not coming with us.

        The GRU special forces are a fairly classified unit. The state does not erect monuments to them, as those who come to these monuments will always be photographing and calculating enemy services. Worse, extremists will threaten their families and take them hostage.
        I think that among the GRU itself they are remembered and honored, and will never be forgotten.

If those whose fault this company had died would have been shot as state criminals, others would have thought more with their heads and not their asses, if only out of fear for their lives, if they did not care about the life and health of their subordinates.

      Young man, if you do not know do not write. No one was sent to the rescue (I was at the base and pulled them down the hill). I would not answer you, but it infuriates when people do not know and ring. From the beginning of the battle, we waited for the team to advance to the last words of the battalion commander in the morning, but did not receive it. The next day, intelligence went there, but infa flew by, what else were going and she left. And on the third day they gathered everyone they could, since there were no one except for a pair of companies and armor with crews of other companies. Plus 2 platoons of the 2nd company, which were not far off the hills and at the beginning of the battle were blocked by militants (they were mainly guarded when the guys were evacuated) So there was a hodgepodge, and they put a sign a bit later. I have the honor.

            Well? Dostovalov deputy Evtyukhin, led the platoon and made his way. What's wrong? Third platoon, fourth company. There are no survivors. Without an order, count on your own. And do not boil, do not measure up with pussy. Better tell me, why did the chichi get there, how did they get out of this? And flooded because there was an open road to Vedeno. All checkpoints have been removed, on whose orders? Is it because the Arab paid half a million greens for the passage? And isn't that why there was no order to help the boys? Here is the answer to the riddle. For WHAT they died.

    The question is different - why only 22 were awarded the title of Hero of Russia? No one retreated, no one gave up, no one discredited the name of the Russian soldier. Or do we have a limited number of heroic titles and then would not have been enough for Kadyrov’s fellow tribesmen?

And when he surrendered the city in the Second War, it only means that he has already gone over to the winners, just an ordinary mercantile calculation and nothing more, a banal betrayal for the sake of a subsequent sweet life.

    Better to watch the movie "Breakthrough", it is closer to the events.
    There was a motorized rifle company + a special forces group + a platoon of infantry fighting vehicles in the "Grozovy Vorota", they had time for additional reconnaissance and digging in, but the paratroopers did not have all this.

      Yes, plus there was constant artillery and air support in the "Gate". In reality, at the height of the paratroopers, only the artillery division of the 104th paratrooper regiment helped. So the film showed what it would be like under a so to speak "optimistic" scenario of events. Realism is much tougher, scarier and dirtier ...

    An angel in the ashes flies after me
    or my mother is looking for me at the border of the earth;
    falls next, made out from heaven
    over the dead squad an unplanned cross.

    Poured me a glass of peace for the souls:
    “My only boy, get home.”
    Rising higher, flying at dawn
    to give you, you hear, to the Orthodox land.

    There is snow and snowstorms, and spring is far away;
    your father’s eyes were dimmed there.
    Our birds will otherwise sing over you.
    My only boy, get home.

    - Mom, bitter pity, among the black fields
    and no bones were left for my grave.
    Not fragments and bullets, there is a worse trap:
    Mom, they deceived us, and you and me.

    Promise me not a word, nor tears about the past.
    We were baptized near Pskov and will not die.
    You will always be close, even in the gloomy hour,
    when marble lists time etch us.

    ... digging the earth with my hands my old mother
    and at the bottom in this pit stopped breathing.
    Somewhere, ranks and ranks are distributed around the country.
    For many years now an angel flies to me.

    Eternal memory and eternal glory to the fallen soldiers of Russia!

    Soldiers, warrant officers, officers, who is sitting on the site, who was there at that time, who knows something about the death of the 6th company. Let's get together on the site for a start, and then we'll see. Tired of bullshit every year to listen. I have the honor. In PM. By the way, I am the foreman of the 2nd company (was) senior Mashkovtsev. I know many. And I do not snoop.

    YOU ARE GONE, BOYS. You left us so early, boys, You didn’t say something important, On the expanses of a fire-breathing war All that was needed was found and lost. It is impossible to count the wounds of souls, And they were not afraid to meet death worthily, For a soldier, all honor is above the rules, For the career, you have not pursued orders. Where do you go, tell me, brothers, The wind howled like an evil wolf, An order has been received, it is time to gather, A glorious regiment is heading west. An order has been received, it is time to gather, A glorious regiment is heading west. You left us so early, boys, Who is to blame and who will answer for everything, You were soldiers of a large country, And now she will meet two hundred loads with pain. The terrible, proud Caucasus from time immemorial, you will be remembered forever, a sin not to remember, you guys could fulfill the order, you managed to fulfill your duty to the end.
