The Kremlin press service reports that Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree conferring the rank of Hero of the Russian Federation to senior lieutenant of the Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation (the title is given posthumously).

The text of the presidential decree of April 11 2016 year published on official President’s website:
For courage and heroism shown in the performance of military duty, assign the title of Hero of the Russian Federation to Senior Lieutenant Alexander Alexandrovich Prokhorenko (posthumously).


Alexander Prokhorenko was awarded the title of Hero of Russia posthumously


Alexander Prokhorenko is a native of the village of Gorodki, Tyulgansky District, Orenburg Region (July 22, 1990). He participated in the Russian military contingent in the operation to counter the militants in Syria. One of the tasks of Alexander was target designation for the aircraft of the Russian Aerospace Forces, which attacked militant positions in the area of ​​the city of Palmyra.

Having been surrounded by militants of the so-called “Islamic state”, and realizing that it might be in the hands of thugs, the Russian officer decided to cause Russian fire aviation to myself. As a result of this blow, several dozen ISIS fighters were eliminated. Alexander Prokhorenko died. The feat was committed on March 17 in the area of ​​Palmyra. Alexander Prokhorenko by his decision demonstrated an example of true courage and heroism.

        A well-deserved reward for the Hero. It is very unfortunate that posthumously, but the most important reward for him and his family will be human memory, so that people would remember and raise their children on the example of such feats. Low Bow to Alexander, a Russian soldier, a real Russian.

          Once in his place, you can blow up a grenade, which he probably had, or shoot himself (most likely, there was also something).
          And it’s impossible to get into such a situation while working in a salon where cell phones are sold. So - "being surrounded" or in its position itself is no longer a standard and is worth a lot.

      I do not understand your anger. Would you send the same poem to these guys or not?
         * On February 16 1967, the unit of the 1 Cavalry (Airmobile) Division was in a night ambush in Bindin Province. Suddenly, his positions were attacked by the enemy with hand grenades. Private 1-th class James Monroe under fire made his way into the next rifle cell to help the wounded, but found that everyone was dead there. He returned to his cell and began to provide medical assistance to the wounded radio operator. At this time, an enemy grenade fell next to him. Monroe shouted a warning to his comrades, pushed the radio operator and the platoon sergeant away, and threw himself on a grenade, at the cost of his life saving several soldiers from injury or death.
         * On 11 on August 1967, a unit of the 1 Marine Division ensured the safety of the US Navy construction squad in Quang Nam. Lance Corporal Roy Wheat left his position to conduct reconnaissance. Upon returning back three meters from the unit’s positions, he accidentally activated a well-disguised enemy jumping mine. Shouting a warning, Whit covered himself with a mine, at the cost of his life saving several comrades from injury or death.
         * On November 12 on November 1967, during the battle of Dacto, a unit of the 173 Airborne Brigade fought with large enemy forces (presumably a battalion). Private 1-th class John Barnes the third noticed that the calculation of one of the machine guns of his unit was killed. He took his seat at the machine gun and with his fire destroyed 9 enemy soldiers. Pausing to pick up extra ammunition, he saw an enemy grenade land in the midst of a group of wounded American soldiers near his position. Barnes threw himself on a grenade and covered it, at the cost of his life saving several soldiers from new injuries or death.
         * On July 3, 1969, a unit of the 173 Airborne Brigade cleared a village in Bindin Province. During the operation, an unknown person jumped out of one house and rushed to run. 4 class specialist Michael Blanchfield shouted a warning after him and opened fire. Unknown threw a grenade, the explosion of which injured Blanchfield. Then the unknown threw another grenade, which fell next to a group of soldiers. Blanchfield covered this grenade with his body, saving himself at the cost of his life from the injury or death of four comrades and several peaceful Vietnamese.
         * On 19 on August 1970, a unit of the 101 Airborne Division fought in the province of Kuangchi. It was under the fire of two long-term firing points of the enemy. Corporal Frank Fratellenico managed to crush one pillbox using hand grenades and attacked another. At this moment, he was struck by enemy fire and dropped a grenade, which he was about to throw. Aware of her threat to the comrades who were nearby, Fratelleniko covered the grenade with his body and at the cost of his life saved four soldiers from injury or death.

Like many others. This profession provides for such a moment as death. Therefore, they have good (but generally large) salaries and a lot of social support. WHY again, as in the second world war - someone throws himself on machine guns, someone with a bunch of grenades under the tank. They are HEROES. BUT. THEY ARE WARRIORS. It is their duty. Why did the title of Hero become too numerous? This (title of a hero) its numerous application reduces the cost. And death in the name of the Motherland is a mediocre act. Although they give a Hero. There are too many of them. What's this? Our warriors, fighters, defenders become simple those who are sacrificed to the chopping block of someone's War? Are we the necessary sacrifices ??

      Pitot, I’m not going to minus it; the others will go wild. This guy would live and live for 26 years, family, child. And when he signed the contract, it was not obligatory that he would be killed in Syria. And his duty was not to die, but rather to survive - from the dead officer there was little sense. He could give up, perhaps he would have survived. However, he preferred to die, taking with him as many Babaev as possible. I don’t know what is going on in your head, but if this is not a feat and not heroism, then what is a feat?

      Hmm ... How carefully they circumvent you both in pluses and minuses ... You have raised too much a hot topic ...

      All of us - both ordinary and generals - took a single oath ... Yes, not all of them followed it ... Also - from the ordinary to the general ...

      And awards, especially - that of the Hero of the Soviet Union, that of the Hero of Russia - were given to many undeservedly, not even observing the status of this award ...

      However - in this case - it seems to me that the command was able to do only what it could: introduce the guy to the rank of Hero, thereby at least somehow protecting his family from socio-economic problems ...

Alexander made his DECISION. War is not a computer game. I don't remember exactly the phrase of Stalin from his favorite book "In August 44" - "Drawn on paper, but forgot about the ravines, and walk on them."

    People, you can mesitate, stomp me. But what I want to say. In relation to this guy - he is a HERO. Undoubtedly. BUT. Why? He is a military man. Like so many other guys. This is his profession. Like many others. This profession provides for such a moment as death. Therefore, they have good (but generally large) salaries and a lot of social support. WHY again, as in the second world war - someone throws himself on machine guns, someone with a bunch of grenades under the tank. They are HEROES. BUT. THEY ARE WARRIORS. It is their duty. Why did the title of Hero become too numerous? This (title of a hero) its numerous application reduces the cost. And death in the name of the Motherland is a mediocre act. Although they give a Hero. There are too many of them. What's this? Our warriors, fighters, defenders become simple those who are sacrificed to the chopping block of someone's War? Are we the necessary sacrifices ?? Do we have to die for someone? What a bastard state of things? Why does some bastard decide?

    if you envy military salaries, go serve. if your profession (maybe you are some kind of boss of a group of janitors of 3 people) does not provide for heroic deeds, and you are not able to understand the magnitude of the ongoing events and this heroic feat, then everything is clear with you. you are a small person.

    Oh yes, Luxembourg ... You have it in the top ten ... But the thing is that not everything in this life is measured by the standard of living. Believe the man who has been living in this very Luxembourg for almost ten years. Pride for one’s Country cannot be bought for any money. And I absolutely sincerely envy the citizens of Russia, I envy the good. And while there are guys like Sasha Prokhorenko, no one can bring this country to its knees!

        And more ... A moment will come, and I sincerely believe in it, when the inhabitants of Europe will envy the citizens of the Russian Federation.

          I don’t remember where, about 2 years ago, the media leaked information that in Russia, from memory, about 80% of housing is privately owned by citizens. And this percentage is one of the highest in the world. This suggests that we are trying not to "wait for a good uncle who will treat him to cookies and decide everything for us," but try to get out of the shit where they dragged us in the 90s. And who lives in shit?

The core is our youth. Who is scolded that she’s not the one, but she, here she is. And such a sea ... Only it is necessary to put in a period of testing and it will show its best side. Personally, it’s a pity, but here at least the hero’s seed remains and there will be a new HERO. Eternal memory to him.

    I think the barmalei understood whom they surrounded and really wanted to take alive, the Russian officer consciously decided to leave undefeated. It’s like a cold shower for all the enemies of Russia, during the storming of the Brest Fortress, many German military leaders realized that the war would not succeed, taking the garrison by surprise, the Germans practically did not take prisoners, as units surrendered, Russian soldiers fought to the end.

    And yet another sneak up on us
    Russian authorities can create a state-owned company for the restoration of Palmyra
    The restoration of Palmyra is possible with the support of a business from Russia, for which you can create a company similar to Olympstroy. This was stated by State Duma deputy, member of the parliamentary delegation Sergei Gavrilov after a meeting with Syrian President Bashar Assad, writes Vzglyad.ru.

    Upon returning back three meters from the unit’s positions, he accidentally activated a well-disguised enemy jumping mine. Shouting a warning, Whit covered himself with a mine, at the cost of his life saving several comrades from injury or death.

    Someone will ask: what is heroism? just did not want to be captured with all that it implies.
    Will explain. Prokhorenko could ask for help, an unlocking operation, as a result of which, probably, he would have to suffer additional losses. But instead He called fire on himself, taking terrorists with him, not asking anyone to take risks for his own salvation.

    My friend was also an airman in Afghanistan. His father, an excellent tactician, died in Afghanistan during a flight to the Mi-8. A friend was a navigator on the Tu-16, written off for health, asked to Afghanistan, to avenge his father. Leaving after detection, ran into a mine. Amputated feet. Graduated from the academy.

    Here is an example to educate our youth. But these are dreams. On TV screens, Kirkorov’s pi-dor with two artificial children is still on, the old woman Pugacheva married blue Maksik, suitable for her sons. On cinema screens, Americanism is empty and dumb. The idols of young people implanted by the media are stupid people with TNT, jumping ship monkeys across the stage and another riffraff that would not have been allowed to the scene under the Soviet regime. And in this vile atmosphere, like spools in an empty rock, guys like Prokhorenko appear. We must bow at the feet of his parents. First of all, the glamorous party-goers should bow, this is for preserving their capital and mugs inflated with Botox, he ultimately folded his head. And they consider him cattle. All this is sad and sorry for the lives of wonderful people who are dying in the name of preserving those 10% of the country's population who have seized 90% of the country's wealth. This is one side of the issue. Second: it would not happen that Syria, which was saved today, will behave like Poland in 20 years, which the Soviet soldier saved from destruction, and now they are destroying its monuments.

      No, he folded his head for us, ordinary people, and for our Russian world. No need to discount the heroic deed. Feats are always performed for the benefit of those who value them and understand their meaning. Otherwise, our whole world will not make sense and will die out with this glamorous party.

        We then of course understand the meaning of his feat. He died for his homeland. And what is our Motherland today? What high goals does the people living in it have? Who runs the state? I’ll answer: we don’t have ideology as such, or rather it is reduced to the formula: money and everything in the name of money. And 90% of the country's population plow to earn money, but for some reason they settle in the pockets of a handful of indestructible Abramovichs, Avens, Chubais and others like them. Television has been privatized and glorifies their environment, thank God now it’s enough for the mind not to shine. Where does the income from natural resources go? I think you know judging by the epaulettes. So for whom did our wonderful officer die? Whose capital did he defend? Grandmothers collecting alms at the temple? Or someone else's? But the party will not die, she has money to hell and the meaning of life is their own, different from ours.

    Guardian of Palmyra

    The gates to the sky are wide open
    And the staircase goes up.
    Leaves forever "two hundredth"
    The officer who died in the sand.

    They pressed the fanatics against the wall
    And in the sky the shells blow
    Gunner Sanyok Prokhorenko
    The fire caused itself!

    Saving the pearl of the world
    In the ruins of a destroyed gate!
    The keeper of the ancient Palmyra
    There will be a Russian soldier!

    Eternal memory to the hero! Huge gratitude and low bow to parents for raising a real MAN!
    But another question excites me more - what will we see on TV tonight? A film about the hero Prokhorenko? The story of his life? Stories of friends, classmates? Alas, today we will again see how all sorts of Kirkorovs and semi-finished products will gallop around the stage, we will look at the next report on the social gathering in the mansion of the next deputy oligarch, we will watch the next series of house-2 and other rubbish on NTV. Unfortunately, the real patriots of Russia as Prokhorenko are not needed by our government, they prevent the people from dulling to the state of biomass, they make people wake up the genetic memory.
    As for the difficulty of getting a star of the hero of Russia - you ask the honored academician of everything in the world.

    Dedicated to Hero of Russia Alexander Prokhorenko, special forces officer - aircraft controller, who died during the liberation of Palmyra

    HERO OF RUSSIA
    The third signal on the radio:
    - The Germans around me,
    Hit four ten
    Do not spare the fire!
    "Son of an Artilleryman"
    Konstantin SIMONOV

    He's twenty-five in the photo
    And the look is youthfully blue.
    Now he won't know
    How his mother cries for him
    And how Russia mourns for him.

    He's only twenty-five
    But he is in the photo in a black frame.
    Who can guess fate?
    Who can take over
    Fire in doomed Palmyra.

    He could. He gave a signal
    Like Lenka - the son of an artilleryman -
    (The gunner calculated it accurately).
    ISIS got the shell,
    How I got the fascists in that war.

    He is twenty-five today.
    He is a contemporary of you and me.
    But in that battle he was able to understand
    How the Russian army defeated
    And rose above fate.
