              There is evidence that his wife is pregnant ... So ... In general, if the boy is, he will continue the clan and dynasty ...

              Health to his wife and unborn child ...

              Well, to the Hero - eternal memory and respect ...

                On the one hand, it is good if his wife is pregnant. Sasha managed to continue his family. Sasha's parents will have joy in life at an old age. And on the other hand, his death on the pregnancy of a widow can be reflected. In this regard, you will not envy your wife. But I think they will help her, especially Sasha’s parents. Everything will be fine.
                I have a friend, a military husband died. Two little children left. And she herself is still very young. Then after 2 years she got married again, again to the military man. They have a third child born. They live very happily. Her husband does not divide children into friends and foes. A wise man. She respects him very much for this and does not mind the soul in him. I am very grateful to him that he helps strangers, not relatives, children to raise, as his own. In addition, he adopted them.

                  Foreigners about the feat of the RUSSIAN OFFICER.

                  «This man is a real warrior and a Russian patriot. I respect”, - says Barry Fisher (England).

                  «God bless you! Russian soldier, salute you”, Writes Rolando Ronquillo.

                  «A man with honor and conviction, which many of us Westerners lack", - says Carlo Manzano.

                    There was also this:
                    There is such an ancient Slavic proverb: one in the field is not a warrior. But the Russians have long denied it. If Russian - even one warrior!
                    25 years, to live and still live ... what a Man was. There are simply no words, only sorrow and bitterness.

          Our journalists, following the British, insulted the memory of RUSSIAN OFFICER ALEXANDER PROKHORENKO, calling him a Russian "rembo". Alexander is not a "Russian Rambo" (there is nothing to compare our heroes with your murderers and invaders).

          Russian soldiers have never been called that. Russian warriors are BOGATYR.

          In connection with the feat of Alexander, I recalled lines from K. Simonov's poem "The Son of an Artilleryman". If we compare, then Alexander is the grandson of "ARTILLER'S SON" LYONKA PETROV:


          The third signal on the radio:

          - The Germans around me,

          Hit four ten

          Do not spare the fire!

          The major turned pale upon hearing:

          Four, ten - just

          The place where his Lenka

          Gotta sit now.

          But without surrendering

          Forgetting that he was a father,

          Major continued to command

          With a calm face:

          “Fire!” - the shells flew.

          “Fire!” - charge soon!

          Four, ten squared

          There were six batteries.

          The radio was silent for an hour,

          Then a signal came:

          - Silent: stunned by the explosion.

          Beat as I said.

          I believe my shells

          They can't touch me.

          Germans are running, click,

          Give a sea of ​​fire!

          And at the command post,

          Having received the last signal,

          Major in a deafened radio,

          Unable to stand, he cried out:

          - Can you hear me, I believe:

          Death cannot be taken.

          Hold on my boy

          Do not die twice.

          No one in our life can

          Kick out of the saddle! -


          Such a saying

          The major had ...

        The federal and foreign media that day with admiration talk about the feat of an officer of the Russian special operations forces in Syria: once surrounded, he caused fire on himself. The Ministry of Defense does not deny the fact, but neither the name nor the surname of the hero is called. As we managed to find out, the deceased officer is our fellow countryman Alexander Prokhorenko. He was 25 years old ... A rural boy from the village of Gorodki, the Tulgan district of the Orenburg region, began his military career right after school at the Military Academy of Air Defense of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. It ended in less than 10 years, unfortunately tragically. Last week, the Daily Mirror newspaper reported: “A brave Russian commando, like Rambo, abandoned with a solitary mission to hunt ISIS fighters (a group banned in Russia.), Died heroically, causing an air strike on himself. A fearless officer sent Russian aircraft to ISIS positions near the ancient city of Palmyra, but was surrounded by terrorists. Not wanting to die without a fight, he ordered the command to drop bombs on its location and died from the explosion. " An official comment was also received from representatives of the Russian base station Khmeimim: - An officer of the Russian special operations forces was killed while performing a special task of directing attacks by Russian planes against terrorists. The officer performed a combat mission in the Palmyra area for a week, identifying the most important objects of the Ishilovites and giving out the exact coordinates for delivering attacks by Russian planes. A soldier heroically died, causing fire on himself, after it was discovered by terrorists and surrounded. Parents and wife of Alexander Prokhorenko have already been notified. Together with relatives, the whole village, close friends, friends, classmates and colleagues of a Russian officer mourn. “I admire the heroism of a simple rural boy who was able to set the goal and save our lives above his own,” said one of Alexander Prokhorenko’s acquaintances.

        PS Sasha Prokhorenko, in addition to her elderly parents and brother, still has a wife, the wedding with which they played a year and a half ago. At the moment, Ekaterina Prokhorenko is waiting for the heir. Unfortunately, the son or daughter of the hero will know about dad only from photographs and stories.

          - I really hope that, despite the shock, she will be able to bear her son. I also hope that he, as the son of a hero, will be provided with all sorts of assistance in life both from the state and from people. And I hope that he will be proud of his father and be worthy of his memory. And if a daughter is born - everything is the same adjusted for sex.

    It’s a pity, it’s a pity that he died! But could he have acted differently? No, he could not. There is something in our land that does not allow to recede. Better to die, but not to retreat. For centuries it is already. For nearly 30 years of cultivating capitalism, the popular spirit has not been defeated. As the paratroopers got in the way of the gang and did not retreat. Killed, BUT NOT retreated. And it was in the dashing 90s. So today, the officer died, but did not give up! Everlasting memory!

    I am from Kazakhstan. But the sorrow is the same as if a part of oneself were lost. Glory to the real heroes. Thanks to the parents for such a son and his entourage. Probably without love for them and the motherland, he could not have accomplished such a feat. Glory to the country for which true wars perish honestly performing their duty.

    At the moment, Ekaterina Prokhorenko is waiting for the heir. Unfortunately, the son or daughter of the hero will know about dad only from photographs and stories.

    A man who has dedicated his life to the army understands the danger of his service. Unfortunately, the best are dying and now there is less by one ....
    During the Second World War, the personnel army stood to restrain the Germans. We have lost a lot of honest and decent people. They were border guards, soldiers of the NKVD divisions defamed by Nikita, and many others who had restrained the Germans' first blow. This is one of the reasons for the tragedy of the USSR.

    “Fire!” - the shells flew.
    “Fire!” - charge soon!
    Four, ten squared
    There were six batteries.
    The radio was silent for an hour,
    Then a signal came:
    - Silent: stunned by the explosion.
    Beat as I said.
    I believe my shells
    They can't touch me.
    Germans are running, click,
    Give a sea of ​​fire!
    ........
    The phone cracked and, worried,
    The dugout commander walked
    And someone just like Lenka,
    He went to the Germans in the rear today.
    Now this verse is completely forgotten. Correctly the name of the Hero was called. Always remember, but let the enemies be afraid of the Russian soldier.

The people recognized him as a hero, but where is the decree? Where at least condolences from the authorities? Or was it normal for them and nothing special happened? I do not understand this ...

    KP correspondents found out that the “Russian Rambo” turned out to be a guy from the outback - 25-year-old Alexander Prokhorenko. Sasha, however, is not at all like the muscular, stern movie hero with whom foreign media compared him. Thin, smiling. On his pages on social networks, he happily shared photographs of his studies at the Military Academy of Air Defense of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in Smolensk. Sasha graduated with honors. Everywhere he is in shape, happy.

    Sasha is not at all like the muscular, stern movie hero with whom foreign media compared him. Thin, smiling.
    Photo: Personal page of the hero of the publication on the social network


    “He has a lot of military men in his family, and he always dreamed of serving,” Alexander’s friend, with whom he studied at the academy, told us. - A simple village guy. He and I were friends from the first days of our service. The last time we saw each other was in December.

    Apparently, just shortly before Sasha’s business trip to Syria. But then he didn’t say anything to his friend. It is understandable - a military secret.

    Father and mother are waiting...

    The village of Gorodki is 130 kilometers from Orenburg. Sasha was born and raised here. They showed us his parents' house right away. Father Alexander is a tractor driver. Mom Natalya is an employee of the village administration. They learned about Sasha’s death in Gorodki a few days ago.

    “This news came to us on March 19,” the villagers said. - Representatives from the Ministry of Defense came to the administration. They didn’t really say what happened, but as is customary among the military, they thanked the parents for raising such a son.

    Prokhorenko's house is in mourning. A photograph of Alexander in a black frame on the table, next to it there are icons. Mom Natalya Leonidovna cries all the time.

    “Sorry, I don’t have the strength to talk,” Sasha’s father comes out to meet him, extending his hand to say hello. “We don’t know how our son died. We were only told that during a combat mission. All this is very difficult.

    It is still unknown when the body will be brought and the relatives will be able to say goodbye to Alexander. Father and mother are waiting.

    There were two military schools in Orenburg. Flight and Anti-aircraft missile, simply "Zenitka". And Heroes were brought up in them! Flight gave the world Yuri Gagarin, Anti-aircraft gun Alexander Prokhorenko! Eternal Memory and Glory to them!!! Now these educational institutions do not exist. The anti-aircraft gun was the last to be closed, now in its place is the Presidential Cadet School. But there is still a feeling of injustice.

      I am writing a comment on the latter. They didn’t send him there alone, who knows about the groups behind enemy lines. At least 2-3. They will simply never arrest those who were able to escape, and he covered the retreat with fire on himself. This is the truth of war. And I can also say for those who are crying - in Yugoslavia, when the group left persecution, for the survival of the healthy, the wounded were not left alive, because the Muslims cut them with knives like sheep.
      It's painful, but it's a fact.

    For some reason, no one has a question: why the hell was a graduate of the Smolensk Air Defense Academy of the Air Force (military) sent as an air controller, correcting air strikes, into the very lair of bearded men? Is there no one there? He is a professional anti-aircraft gunner, and not a special forces soldier, as the media now wants to present him. It seems to me that the father-commanders killed the guy. Even if he volunteered.

      What the hell is a graduate of the Smolensk Air Defense Academy (military

      Do you know the list of departments (including EP) of this academy? No? Then it seems to me that you are just a talker.
      Or do you still know? Then why such stupid questions? It seems to me then that you are not just a talker, but a talker-provocateur.
      And yes, he couldn't be alone. The gunner always goes in the cover group. They could not and did not have the right to leave him
      I don't think they told us everything. And the hero is not alone.

        As a former military signalman, I will say that the aircraft controller must have a radio operator and at least two others, but the situation can make its own adjustments. And RDG never leaves his wounded, but, unfortunately, it is not always possible to endure...
        It would be nice to make a feature film about the operation in Syria, “based on real events” with the names of the Heroes in the credits.
