In Italian, Varese offered to name one of the streets in honor of the Russian officer Alexander Prokhorenko who died in Syria

Vice-president of the cultural association "Lombardy-Russia" Gianmatteo Ferrari took the initiative to name one of the streets of the Italian city of Varese in honor of the Russian officer Alexander Prokhorenko who died in the Palmyra region (Syria). RIA News leads the translation of a fragment of the record that Ferrari made on his social network page:

I propose to name the street or square in the name of Alexander Prokhorenko, the young Hero of Russia, who died in Syria during 25 years in the fight against ISIS terrorists, protecting us and our freedom.

It should be noted that Gianmatteo Ferrari is a representative of the opposition Italian League of the North movement, which stands for the restoration of full-fledged relations with Russia and for obtaining greater autonomy in the northern (industrial) regions of Italy. Gianmatteo Ferrari intends to participate in the elections to the local council, which (elections) will be held 5 June this year.

Ferrari called Alexander Prokhorenko a man who gave his life for the sake of a noble cause - the fight against international terrorism.

Recall that the officer of the special operations forces of the RF Armed Forces Alexander Prokhorenko died in Syria at the end of March, being surrounded by militants and causing Russian fire aviation to myself. He was buried in his homeland - in the Orenburg region.

A very worthy act will be from the Italians, but they will not name it.

[Tatyana]

I'm all for it"! This act of the Italians is also their wise contribution to the common struggle of ordinary people and Russia for peace in our so tense and alarming time.

[cniza]

Thanks to the simple and honest people, the propaganda did not dust their brains with them.

[grandson of the hero]

RESPECT !!!
A worthy deed of worthy people.

The June 5th election has so little time left to go and support; in silence, all the same a foreigner is in Italy, but with this portrait in hand, to the whole country on all TV channels.!

[Dmitry Potapov]

I really want the words to not part with the deed. Good luck in a noble deed.
Hero the earth let it rest in peace.

[Mountain shooter]

This is how such an example of our officer's courage inspired ardent Italians. Let them say, only "For".

[Reptiloid]

I am glad that such a desire of Italians in the city of Varese! Northerners of Italy treat Russia well.
YES and Venetians, too, which is another article today.

A very worthy initiative. It so happened historically that Italy owes much of its history to the Russian soldier. The fact that memory is still periodically waking up in some Europeans inspires optimism. In principle, there are noticeable changes in the rhetoric of even European parliamentarians towards the development of pragmatic relations, it is noticeable that the TRUTH is making its way to Europe. Slowly, but still ... After "Georgia 888" there was something similar. I think warming is possible in our relations with Europe. In the long term. Although I suppose exacerbations at the end of 2018 and in 2019, initiated by the United States through Ukraine.

Something tells me that his offer will not work. Does not correspond to the information policy of the whole of Europe. Choke the initiative.

[Very old]

Pounce on all the kagal - That's exactly how Comrade Sukhov used to say

The people of Europe voted on Petition.org for the cancellation of the Eurovision results, but political forces came into play (like a contest and out of politics)

Of course it will not work, but the point is that they are remembered and respected, I hope that all this was sincerely, and not a simple PR ..

Worthy of respect, well done

Prokhorenko died. Further, just about helping the Italians The Italians have always treated Russia and the Russians with gratitude. They remember that it was the Russian sailors who were the first to come to their aid after the terrible earthquake in Messina. Four people were awarded the highest Italian award the gold medal "For Bravery" for their participation in the fight against fascism on the territory Italy. Poletaev. F. A became a national hero of Italy and an honorary resident of Genoa. You can write a lot, but it seems that this is enough.

[triglav]

Here it is right!

[Lanista]

The Italians have always maintained good relations with Russia, perhaps with the exception of the Mussolini period. It is not for nothing that the Americans keep in Italy one of their few fully operational paratroopers, which means that the United States does not trust the Italians in matters of "counteracting Russia."

Quote: Lanista

Italians have always maintained good relations with Russia

Italians came to our enterprise to establish the line that we bought from them.
We talked about a lot, including politics.
They are very respectful to us Russians.
And fiercely hate the Americans.
Perhaps one of you will say that they said so because they are in Russia?
On the contrary, they themselves started this conversation; in general, we wanted to not touch politics.
Like this...
They have a negative attitude to sanctions. Despite them, we received purchased equipment, and of high quality.
How did you get it? We won’t talk about this ...

[Polar Bear]

I propose to name the street or square in the name of Alexander Prokhorenko, the young Hero of Russia, who died in Syria during 25 years in the fight against ISIS terrorists, protecting us and our freedom.

Eternal memory and Glory to the young Hero!
