hello, kirill vyshinsky is with you, and this is the “typical novarusia” program. our name says it all, we are talking about the territory that has returned to its historical roots, about novorossiya. with the help of a careful look at history, we will try to reveal the uniqueness of its present day, to find typical features and recognizable signs of the past, that’s what we’ll talk about today. our heroes, the main people on february 23. what does it mean to be a defender of the fatherland today? conversation with a program expert. from lugansk

proletarians to president of the ussr, krasny commander, kliment varoshilov. not so long ago, some 3-4 years ago, february 23 in the mass consciousness was simply a men's holiday, celebrated on the eve of women's march 8. by virtue of the soviet tradition, everyone was congratulated, those who served and those who did not serve. and talked about the broad meaning of the word protector. the last 2 years have changed a lot, today no one has any doubt who the main heroes of this holiday are, there are hundreds of thousands of them: professionals, contract soldiers, volunteers and mobilized, infantrymen, tank crews, special forces, artillerymen, signalmen, pilots and representatives of many other military specialties, soldiers of the people 's militia who have been fighting for the republics, for...

in the donbass for more than 10 years, soldiers of the russian army who have been taking part in the northern military district since february of 22. heroes of the gostomel landing, participants in the liberation of mariupol, lesichansk, energodar and other cities, those who are now fighting near ovdeevka, bakhmut, in kupyansky, kherson and other directions. of course, we must not forget those who defended the fatherland during the terrible war with the germans. nazism. today, the names of many of them and the stories about their exploits resonate in a special way. the commander of the soviet airborne forces, army general vasily margelov, received the title of hero of the soviet union during the great patriotic war for the liberation of kherson. hero of the soviet union, the famous intelligence officer nikolai kuznetsov, died in a battle with bandera in 1944 in western ukraine. commander of the first ukrainian hero of the soviet union. army general nikolai

vatutin led the battle for the dnieper, liberated kiev, was mortally wounded by bandera, buried in the center of the ukrainian capital. not long ago, the kiev authorities dismantled the monument on his grave. already today, for feats accomplished during a special military operation, more than 200 soldiers and officers have been awarded the title of hero of russia. these are courageous and selfless warriors. of which the country is proud. here are the names of just some of them. senior lieutenant nurmagomed gadzhimagomedov became the first of the svo participants and a hero of russia. he commanded a company of paratroopers, died surrounded near kherson, blowing up enemies with a grenade. the title of hero of russia was posthumously awarded to guard colonel olga kachura with the call sign corsa. she commanded a rocket artillery battalion. the tank

crew of the vehicle with the call sign alyosha became heroes of russia for their courage in the battle, in which eight units of enemy armored vehicles were destroyed. and those who will be among the first to be remembered on february 23 this year are in the story of anna efimova. heavy , intermittent breathing, full ammunition to the advantage underfoot, knitted with alumina, attack aircraft of the southern group of forces conduct tactical preparations for a simulated enemy attack. the fourth one has gone! there is a roar from exploding shells and machine gun fire; they move deeper into the forest in small groups, a maximum of five people. such terrain is one of the most difficult from the point of view of introducing combat. visibility of the enemy is difficult. in addition, among the broken branches fallen.

the soldiers who returned from the front line are working on their mistakes and those who have just arrived in the north military district zone are conducting combat coordination. the process is led by an experienced instructor called snake. behind him are dozens completed combat missions. he has been in the ranks of attack aircraft from the very beginning of the northern military district. i have come a long way on one of the most intense sections of the front - the artyomovsk direction. now the war is not the same as it was before, let’s take even the first afghan war, the chechen war, even the world war, even more so. now the war is completely different, completely different technologies, so now, if like before, there was training , now everyone goes through everything, even those who are already experienced, there were those who went through afghanistan, chechnya, everyone is retraining, in a sense newcomers on the battlefield are not so much

inferior to experienced fighters; the commander of a section of the southern group of troops with the call sign samson recently turned 31, this is his first military contract directly into attack aircraft. says that he is more than aware of the danger, not so long ago his comrades on the front line were shot in the head by an enemy sniper, and of course there is fear, but there is no more desire, not to take revenge, but to put an end to this civil war, in which the enemy is known from his own , they have very, well, good sappers, well , not like ours, of course, the same stormtroopers like ours, well, consider it, we will fight on our own, only those people, they are poisoned by propaganda. who, well, we are for the truth, the truth is with us, victory is ours. the work of an attack aircraft is not complete without fire support from sappers and, of course, air reconnaissance, what is called the eyes of artillery. come on, old man, don't let me down. drone operators

are trained in special pilot training centers; here, on the basis of the 132nd brigade of the first army corps of the russian armed forces, skills are practiced on simulators before a real flight. to the fighters explain how... to move a drone away from the firing line, how to flash it, how to fly through a rap and avoid return fire. an impact copter requires very special skills from the operator. you need to be able to calculate the strength of the wind, the distance and know how to move the drone so that it does not get shot down. of course, it’s much more complicated, it doesn’t hold the very altitude, that is, it flies in acro mode, it is blown away by the wind, that is, absolutely every action is controlled with your fingers, you need to be careful with very sensitive joysticks. with this, plus it carries ammunition. army our country as a single living organism in which everything is interconnected. in the rear areas , support services work around the clock, wounded soldiers are rescued in the operating rooms of military hospitals, and their damaged vehicles are brought back to life by the repair

units of the southern group of troops, those whose work often remains behind the scenes. what is happening here is dryly called. servicing combat units, in fact, work on each is more like a medical consultation, only instead of doctors there are technicians, welders and engineers, instead landsets - wrenches. such shields, for example, can save the lives of the crew by protecting them from attacks by enemy drones. if evacuation vehicles need, first of all, a good overview, for this purpose more gaps are provided in the grille, then for tanks the main reliable protection is to withstand serious enemy attacks. typically 90%. technicians are returned to service, the deadlines are short, extremely short, well, we try, we meet deadlines, we restore machines, most often we produce, this is replacement, repair replacement engines, repair of onboard gearboxes

, that is, we repair the fire control system, since this is a very difficult process, new weapons, modernized weapons give rise to ... new tactics, new tactics, which in general form the basis of our movement of our victories, we received a large number of not only new guns, tanks, planes, but modern weapons, these are drones, these are drones, these are high-precision weapons, they are the future, now russian troops continue to crush the enemy practically along the entire line of combat contact, after the liberation of avdiivka, the assault troops continued their offensive to the side. all this is possible only thanks to the unity of the country , when everyone works for victory, practically no one leaves the northern military district without awards, because all our soldiers, officers, contract soldiers, these are

the heroes of our time, they all fight, fight courageously, heroically, our guys, our fighters, they are already loaded. motivated to be like our grandfathers, to be like those who once broke the back of fascism, and now they will do the same most. liberator of kyiv, that was his name. general of the army, commander of the first ukrainian front nikolai vatutin. olga kachura, colonel of the dpr people's militia, she has been fighting since 2014 . we remember the heroes of the great patriotic war well from history textbooks, everyone knows them, but we don’t know much about those who are now performing the same feats, sometimes at the cost of their own lives, so that the memory of the people preserves their names. on defender of the fatherland day, a radio satellite launches a video chronicle of our heroes.

about how the russian army has changed about those who today are called defenders of the fatherland, we will talk with our regular expert, historian, political scientist, rastislav ishchenko. rastislav, good afternoon, good afternoon. rastislav, indeed, probably the most interesting and important thing is the understanding of how the russian army has changed during the special war.

in the course of real combat operations it will be useful or not useful, real combat operations are a test of this experience, the army has passed the test of this experience, yes, in 2 years of combat operations it has seen the shortcomings of its preparation and the merits of our training , that is, what needs to be developed further, what we need to forget about, like a bad dream, which means that it has been reformatted, we are now seeing how new connections are being created, yes, how many connections are being consolidated, for example, the number of airborne troops, the number of marines is increasing

, quite recently they doubted the forested nature of maintaining a large number of special trains , they said, well, they have such small tasks there, which means carrying out limited operations of what there is enough and you can do more even to shorten it, now they are increasing it, now they are enlarging formations, almost a new generic unmanned aerial vehicle is appearing, now new formations are being created, they are being enlarged, brigades are turning into divisions, whole new... corps and armies are being deployed, which has not happened a long time ago, here again - however, the course of hostilities confirmed the need for large formations in the army, which means that the course of hostilities, yes, it confirmed the need for creation. in fact , the saturation of unmanned troops with drones at all levels of the army begins at the platoon level, even from almost every specific department , and even to the strategic level, because there are drones that penetrate into enemy territory to a depth of thousands or even several thousand kilometers, they can conduct long-range reconnaissance near

the enemy’s borders, they can strike deep in their territory, and so on , the same ones...

who opposed us, who spoke out in support of ukraine there and so on, who advocated somehow reaching an agreement, maybe even giving in, because people understood that you can’t give in, you can either win or to lose, naturally, in such conditions , the attitude towards those who are on the front line takes the first blow, but how can it be not that bad, but it cannot

even be neutral or indifferent, because this will be an attitude in any case. all full-fledged general support, this feeling is also gratitude to all these people, because they are now literally covering us, the whole country. thanks a lot. new russia has a huge gallery of heroes, from courtiers, associates of russian emperors and empresses to miners and workers, who became leaders. and generals. one of them is the hero of the 917 revolution, the minister of defense of the donetsk-krivoy rog republic, then the marshal of the soviet union, a major party figure, klim varoshilov. a professional revolutionary, former lugansk worker klim varoshilov, returned from petrograd to his small homeland in 1918, defended

the donbass from the advancing german troops, commanded an army, a district, a front, along with... the release of many convicted military leaders. voroshilov did not forget his native lugansk, which in soviet times was varoshilovgrad. on his initiative , a school for military pilots was opened here, which later became the higher school of navigators. among the graduates is the legendary nikolai gostello. the first trams in donbass were launched thanks to varoshilov’s participation. luhansk residents

say that their father’s grave is still being cared for at the berezhny city cemetery. one of the builders of the soviet state, klima voroshilova, is associated with two industrial giants of donbass. first of all, this is the dumo plant - the current alchevsk medical plant. he was taken here after graduating from the zemstvo school. assistant to the deliveryman, but... soon the smart and widely read boy was sent to the workshop. at first he was an assistant operator for a crane in the workshop in martenovsky, and six months later he was already appointed as a

crane operator. for that time, this was a very big career advancement, given that the work was very responsible, it was necessary to use a crane bucket to lift the hot metal and pour it into a mold. it was on dyumov that rashilov organized the first strike in his life, which resulted in success. achieve improved working conditions for crane operators, but at such political activity soon got him fired, then he worked in lugansk at a locomotive plant. the first local trade union from a wheelbarrow of workers in 1905, all this was the work of klim voroshilov, after the february revolution of 1917 he was already authoritative among the people, the leader of the lugansk bolsheviks. even before the october revolution, on august 6, 1917, as a result of the free. democratic multi-party elections, the bolsheviks received the majority of seats in the lugansk city duma, and then in the lugansk council and, accordingly, these bodies

klim varoshilov headed the city government and self-government. in 1918, the peace of bresse between the ukrainian people's republic and the german bloc threatened the autonomy of the donetsk-krivoy rog soviet republic. varoshilov had to take up arms. in lugansk, he assembles the first socialist partisan detachment, which will later become part of it. in the fifth red army, then the onslaught of the three hundred thousandth corps of austro-german troops tried to hold back no more than 25,000 defenders of donbass. and this, let’s say, is really the merit voroshilov, as a talented military leader who was able to put together from all this different-sized army a rather serious combat unit that fought quite tough battles. klim varoshilov also showed his organizational talent and personal courage during the defense of the tsars. at that time the citadel of soviet power in the south of russia, did not allow the whites to break through at a certain stage of the confrontation, in general it was the finest hour for his political

career, it was there that he became lifelong friends with joseph stalin. the queen couldn't surrender, if tsaritsin had been surrendered by the white guard, the civil war would most likely have been lost. klim varoshilov, not being a career military man, did not strive to take on the role of a commander; he was rather a good functionary. ensured the relationship between the military on the battlefield and the political leadership of the country, and although the failures of the red army at the first stage of the soviet-finnish war of 1939-1940 cost him the post of people's commissar of defense, voroshilov's role in the rearmament of the army in that period can hardly be overestimated. and weapons for heavy tanks it started in 1939, so those same klimovo kv-1s and experimental kv-2s went into service with the troops soon after, well, after the new year in 1940, they were already storming the monarheim line on steep sections. during varoshilov’s tenure, the red army received both light tanks t-26 and high-speed tanks

from the bt series, and in the winter of thirty-nine the legendary t-34. i-16 fighters and high-speed bombers took to the skies. for the right to bear the title varoshilovsky shooter, more than 6 million soviet boys and girls passed the initial military training. this of course came out. the outstanding results of the years of war, if at the level of command and the press they had a strong impact, this is an undeniable fact, then at the level of ordinary sergeants, already from the forty-first year, according to the memoirs of not only the german generals there, but also the readovs, that the private soldier is very well trained , shoots very well, in general he is a very dangerous opponent. in november 1935, five outstanding commanders were awarded a new... military rank of marshal of the soviet union, among them klim varoshilov, at the same time, lugansk for the first time changed its name, becoming varshelovgrad, but

in 58 kliment efremovich himself, being the chairman of the presidium of the supreme soviet of the ussr, signed a decree banning the assignment of names of living people to anything, but in the seventieth, after the death of the marshal, lugansk again became vorshelovgrad, in the nineties the city was given back its historical name. varshelov did not forget his small homeland, although he did not come here often, he always responded to the requests of his fellow countrymen. this is how a medical center appeared in voshelovgrad institute, under which in 1938, as a result of the division of the donetsk region , voroshelovgrad appeared on the map of the ukrainian ssr. his last official visit, we believe it was the twenty-fifth year. kliment efrimovich varoshilov came to the city of lugansk to present the award to the city. this is the order of the red banner of battle, the first great award to the city, it was not even given to the city, but to the lugansk proletariat. in november of the thirty-

seventh year in... in lugansk , a memorial to the fighters of the revolution by architect alexander sheremet was opened on the slabs of the monument, similar in its composition to the communard wall in paris, the names of those who died defending the city and on the fronts of the civil war are tall. varoshilov personally supervised this project. when this monument was opened, he sent a gift to the city of two english mark-5 tanks, from the company armstrong, an english company that produced them for the white army, but in... the thirties these tanks were on the balance sheet of the red army and were transferred to the city as uh addition to the monument to the fighters of the revolution. klim varoshilov was not one of those who resisted during the years of repression terror, but was one of the few who allowed himself to argue with the soviet leader. while still in tsaritsa, nevoroshilov and his wife adopted an orphan from an orphanage, and later took in the children of the deceased mikhail frundze to raise them. a simple donbass worker, who became the head of a large

country, was a typical representative of the era and undoubtedly a hero of his time. olga mokhova, anastasia popova, valery saveleev, typical novarusia. that's all we wanted to talk about today. kirill vyshinsky was with you. see you soon. dear friends, i suggest you watch reruns of our original besagon tv program. i hope you remember them and enjoy them.
