It's time for Russia to repay its biggest debt

[RIA] Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said that the Russian army completed the main task of 2023, thwarting the Ukrainian counter-offensive. Behind these dry words is the capture of Bakhmut and Marinka, the advance of our troops along the entire front line, panic in Kyiv, London and Washington, mass desertion of Ukrainians - from ordinary members of the Wesseushki to titled propagandists. This is hard and deadly work that our heroes have been doing for almost two years. But who are they, what do we know about them?

Here a Russian tank enters into an unequal battle and, before our amazed eyes, destroys six armored vehicles and two enemy tanks. “This is our “Alyosha”!” - Drone operator Corporal Ilya Gavrilov shouts off-screen. The crew of the legendary tank (in a few days they will all receive the stars of Heroes of Russia ) is commanded by Lieutenant Alexander Levakov - a Cossack from the village of Lipovtsy in Primorye, a historian by training, a graduate of the Far Eastern Federal University.

Our paratroopers have been holding the giant Gostomel airport near Kiev for two days, fighting against enemy forces that are an order of magnitude superior to them. Footage of the landing of our military then went around the whole world. The Kiev elite announced their destruction several times. “Two hundred Spartans” — the people called them then.

One of the heroic paratroopers was Guard Sergeant Georgy Avramenko. He was posthumously awarded the Order of Courage. He was buried at the Serafimovskoye cemetery in St. Petersburg , although he lived there without registration: he just came one day, fell in love with the city on the Neva and could not part with it. Georgy Avramenko was a novice on the island of Valaam and did not immediately receive a blessing for military service. “I will not bless you in death,” the priest repeated to him.

Here is the first hero of Russia to receive this title on the fields of the Northern Military District. An ordinary modern guy from Dagestan, he was fond of skiing and wrote poetry. In the battle, he was seriously wounded and blew himself up with a grenade along with the Wehrmacht. Then President Putin will say about his feat: “I am a Russian person. As they say, I have Ivans and Marys in my family. But when I see examples of such heroism as the feat of the young guy Nurmagomed Gadzhimagomedov, a native of Dagestan, Lak by nationality, I want to say : “I am a Lak, I am a Dagestani, I am a Chechen, an Ingush, a Russian, a Tatar, a Jew, a Mordvin, an Ossetian...”

These people are the salt of our earth. This is its aristocracy, its intelligentsia, its elite in the true sense of these words. The stories I told above alone would be enough for several wonderful films, novels, and TV series. However, in our cultural community there is a deafening silence on this topic. No films or plays about their exploits. Everyone seems to be waiting for something.

Meanwhile, people's love for heroes is enormous. Recently there was information on social networks that a veteran of the Northern Military District, who received a disability at the front, was being rude to his neighbors. How indignant people were, how many letters they wrote to the veteran with words of support. This is all done sincerely, from the heart.

The last words of fallen heroes are embroidered on chevrons. Poems, songs, and videos are dedicated to them. Folk art on SVO themes, by the way, is simply in full swing. Recently, at a meeting between Putin and graduates of military schools, a pilot read poetry. There is a line: “Meet daddy, bitches!” - these are the last words of the pilot of the Wagner PMC, Hero of Russia Alexander Antonov , who sent his burning plane into a column of armored vehicles of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

Yes, it's not as romantic as "Let's live!" in the film “Only Old Men Are Coming to Battle,” however, there is a suspicion that the real prototype of “Darkie,” Evgeny Bykovsky, also shouted something obscene before his death, may Roskomnadzor forgive us.

The scenes from the fields of the Northern Military District are amazing. Two hundred and seventy-two people during this time were awarded the title of Hero of Russia there. There is no doubt that if this had happened to the American military, Hollywood would have already made dozens of inspiring films on the topic, and they would have done it not carelessly, but from the heart. This is not the case with us yet. Although why shouldn’t the same Zhora Kryzhovnikov, after his wonderful “A Boy’s Word,” take up the story of the North Military District?

Unfortunately, the Soviet skills of creating wonderful films about intelligence officers, paratroopers, and sailors have become a thing of the past. We have forgotten how to glorify our heroes. Recently, the legendary Major General of the Airborne Forces , Hero of the Soviet Union Alexander Soluyanov died in Moscow . If he had been born a hundred years ago, Simonov and Tvardovsky would have written poems about his exploits, and Bondarev and Bykov would have written novels about his exploits.

Today, the name of the hero of the Afghan war means almost nothing to anyone.

The only thing that the media remembered was that Nikita Mikhalkov , when the Lyube group invited him to make a video for the song “Batyanya-Bat Kombat,” talked with the paratroopers who served in Afghanistan, and they said that they should call him for the role of his father-commander namely Soluyanov. The sad irony is that Mikhalkov never filmed this video. And the modest Soluyanov said that this was correct; others, they say, served even better.

Since then, how many videos have we released with all sorts of vulgarity, with I don’t understand who in the leading roles. How offensive it is.

By the way, if we remember the Afghan war, then the capture of Amin's palace - the legendary "Storm-333" - is considered in the West one of the most brilliant Russian military operations. It is studied in the world's leading military academies. Do you remember at least one of our films glorifying this feat? And I don't remember. Meanwhile, the Americans manage to make uplifting patriotic films even based on the material of their shameful defeats - take, for example, "Black Hawk Down."

I want to talk endlessly about the heroes of the Northern Military District, meanwhile, all the information fields are clogged by some muddy Blinkens and Bidens. It would be nice if they were real politicians, but they are just hired clowns on the payroll. It is not they who are creating world history today. It is made in Novorossiya by Alexander Levakov and Ilya Gavrilov, Evgeny Kudinov and Andrey Mityashin. Let's not forget their names and faces.

Today, our military personnel flawlessly fulfill their duty to the Motherland. But how do we fulfill our duty to them?

Caucasus/Russia/Central Asia
Authorities have acknowledged the death of more than 2,600 fighters from southern Russia in Ukraine
2023-10-01
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[KavkazUzel] The death of at least 2,602 fighters from the regions of southern Russia in the military operation in Ukraine has been officially confirmed, including 1,307 from the North Caucasian Federal District and 1,295 from the Southern Federal District. Dagestan remains the leader among the regions of southern Russia in terms of the number of deaths in military operations.

As the "Caucasian Knot" wrote, by September 24, representatives of the authorities and law enforcement agencies officially confirmed the death of at least 2,550 fighters from the North Caucasian Federal District and Southern Federal District in the military operation in Ukraine. The largest number of dead soldiers (614) was in Dagestan.

The "Caucasian Knot" maintains a name list of residents of the North Caucasian Federal District and Southern Federal District who died in the military operation in Ukraine. The list was compiled on the basis of data officially announced by government officials and law enforcement agencies.

The authorities and law enforcement agencies acknowledged the death of at least 2,602 fighters from the regions of the North Caucasian Federal District and Southern Federal District in the military operation in Ukraine. According to official data, by September 30, at least 1,307 fighters from the North Caucasus regions had died in the military operation.

The largest number of deaths from the North Caucasus Federal District, as before, is in Dagestan: 622 people. In addition, the deaths of 212 fighters from North Ossetia, 170 from the Stavropol Territory, 133 from Chechnya, 107 from Kabardino-Balkaria, 40 from Ingushetia and 23 from Karachay-Cherkessia were confirmed.

At least 1,295 fighters from the regions of the Southern Federal District died in the military operation. Including the confirmed deaths of 510 fighters from the Volgograd region, 298 from the Rostov region, 201 from the Astrakhan region, 219 from the Krasnodar region, 34 from Adygea and 33 from Kalmykia.

Let us recall that the first Russian loss in a military operation officially recognized by the authorities was an officer from Dagestan Nurmagomed Gadzhimagomedov. His death was announced on February 26, 2022 by the head of the republic Sergei Melikov. On February 15, 2023, Ramzan Kadyrov said that regional heads should not report data on the number of deaths in Ukraine. The head of Chechnya urged “not to comment on the losses,” although he himself had previously reported on the death of Chechen fighters.

Caucasian experts previously interviewed by the "Caucasian Knot"  pointed to a lack of information  about the number of deaths in Ukraine. The true scale of losses in a military operation cannot be assessed until its end, said, in particular, Alexey Malashenko. Akhmet Yarlykapov linked the significant number of losses among natives of Dagestan to the fact that residents of poor regions most often go to contract service.

Caucasus/Russia/Central Asia
A new campaign against Russia: what links the special operation and the Battle of Neva
2022-07-16
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
by Evgeniy Tsots

[REGNUM] Russia, as in the Battle of the Neva in 1240, delivered a preemptive blow to the West.

The events taking place in the world say that the West is conducting a new attack on Russia. There were many of them in history, and one of the first among those recorded for posterity ended exactly 782 years ago with the Battle of the Neva. Russian troops, commanded by Prince Alexander Nevsky, defeated the Swedish invaders on July 15, 1240, inflicting a preemptive strike on them.

Over the past almost eight centuries, the West has changed its face more than once, turning into the Teutonic Order, Sweden, the Commonwealth, the Empire of Napoleon, the Third Reich or NATO, but each time it had a single goal - the weakening of Russia and its dismemberment. The reason is known and has been called openly more than once: our country has too much territory and too many resources for one country.
Eh? Who says that?
However, every time the population of Russia (Rus, the Russian Empire, the Soviet Union) rallied around the leader and rebuffed the enemy.

The current leader of the country, Russian President Vladimir Putin spoke about the heroism of our ancestors and their devotion to their Fatherland . One of the first in the list of defenders of the country, he called the Grand Duke Alexander Nevsky.

"We love our beloved Motherland just as Alexander Nevsky and Peter the Great loved it, defended by Generalissimo Alexander Suvorov and Admiral Fyodor Ushakov, commanders Kutuzov and Bagration, Red Army soldier Alexander Matrosov and Captain Nikolai Gastello, Major Roman Filippov and Senior Lieutenant Nurmagomed Gadzhimagomedov and many, many others," Putin said at the end of June at a meeting with graduates of military universities.

Is it possible to compare the distant times of the Neva battle with the present? There are parallels that point directly to this. Both then and now, the West sought to make the peoples living along its borders hostile to Russia. At the beginning of the 13th century, the Swedes and Germans seized the border territories to the Karelian, Finnish, Baltic and Slavic tribes and wanted to baptize the neighbors of the Novgorod Republic into the Catholic faith. Thus, the peoples fell into the sphere of influence of the West and were included in the confrontation with Russia.

The modern West has planted Russophobia in the countries surrounding Russia, and also expanded the NATO bloc to the east. The battering ram in his strategy was Ukraine, where Western ideologists and political technologists built “anti-Russia” based on old Polish and Austrian developments. The West pumped Kyiv with weapons from the warehouses of Eastern European countries, launched a network of biolaboratories and even planned Ukraine's refusal of a nuclear-free status.

Another circumstance is the obvious confrontation between the West and Russia. Shortly before the Battle of the Neva, Pope Gregory IX set the task of subjugating and catholizing the tribes on the border with Russia in order to further subjugate the Russian principalities and convert them to Catholicism. The West tried to use the historical moment - the weakening of Russia due to the attack of the Horde. An analogue of NATO in those years was the union of Sweden and the Livonian Order (part of the Teutonic Order).

Today, Russia is confronted by the North Atlantic Alliance, made up of the United States and its satellites. The bloc was originally created as anti-Soviet, and after the collapse of the USSR, contrary to agreements with the Soviet leadership, a number of states of the former socialist camp, including some republics of the Soviet Union, were included in its composition. The only goal of the bloc could be to advance to the borders of Russia. At the same time, long before the military operation in Ukraine, our country was openly indicated in NATO documents as the main threat.

The danger to the Fatherland both then and now is so great that the Russian people see only one possibility for their salvation - to rally around the national leader. In the Novgorod Republic, the prince did not have full power and was dependent on the nobility,
(Boyars)
who could invite him or, conversely, drive him away. However, with the outbreak of hostilities, Alexander received the full support of both the boyars and ordinary residents. In addition to the princely squad, several detachments of the city nobility and the militia were gathered in Novgorod. The whole people united around the figure of Alexander Nevsky.

With the start of the Russian special operation in Ukraine, sociological polls show a high level of awareness of national interests and confidence in the course of President Putin. Moreover, in addition to the data of sociologists, deeds speak about this. For example, the activity of volunteers who joined the army and signed a contract, the activities of volunteer groups, as well as numerous events and statements in support of the RF Armed Forces.

Before the battle, Prince Alexander Nevsky gave the Russian army a parting word that has swept through the centuries and is relevant to this day: "God is not in power, but in truth."

Russian soldiers defended their home and therefore were ready to confront the numerically superior Swedish army. Nevsky's words were changed and folded into a principle by Danila Bagrov from the movie "Brother", who declared that "the power is in truth." Russia sincerely tried to build partnerships with the West, each time being deceived and robbed. Events have come to a point where the desire of imaginary partners to put our country under the knife became obvious. And under the onslaught of information pressure and foreign propaganda, Russian society withstands the blow, focusing on the truth.

Another sign of equality between the events of one millennium puts military skill, the skills of which warriors show on the battlefield. The Novgorod army of Nevsky was able to deliver a preemptive strike, since the prince had intelligence on the movement of the Swedish army. As a result, the losses of the Swedes many times exceeded the losses of the Russians.

In the course of a special operation, the Russian Armed Forces develop the offensive throughout all hostilities, using the tactics of "small boilers", cutting off the enemy's path to supplies and reserves. The nationalists are surrounded by the sheer superiority of Russian firepower and overwhelmed by the impossibility of a counteroffensive.

Russian lands for the West have always seemed a source of enrichment. In the Novgorod Republic, the main resource for the Pope, the Swedes and Germans were people who conducted economic activities and paid taxes. It was the taxes of newly converted Catholics that served as bait for the troops. Now the West's key interest lies in the natural resources that Russia is rich in.
Yes, but we’re lazy, and would rather pay Russia a reasonably fair price to sell it to us than exert ourselves to conquer and get it out ourselves. We didn’t even help ourselves to Iraq’s oil during the two decades we were over there.
A high level of consumption requires an economy based on the processing of large quantities of raw materials. However, their own sources ended several centuries ago, and since then the West has waged colonial wars around the world. From this point of view, Russia is the tastiest piece of the planet, almost undeveloped and not even explored. Politicians in the West regularly make claims that Russia has too many resources for one country.

And, finally, another circumstance that allows not only to draw parallels with the events of 1240, but also inspires optimism, was the fact of a preemptive strike. Intelligence of Alexander Nevsky collected enough information about the Swedes for a surprise attack. As a result, she predetermined the course of events and ensured the victory of the Russian army.

In Ukraine, NATO forces prepared a springboard for unleashing a war between the West and Russia. However, the start of a special military operation was the same preemptive strike that took the enemy by surprise.

Imam killed in Russia after speaking out against Islamic militants
2007-10-01
Gunmen killed a Russian imam on his way to morning prayers in a restive southern region Saturday, a day after he spoke out against Islamic extremists, police said. Nurmagomed Gadzhimagomedov was shot by attackers in a car while walking from his home to his mosque in the Dagestani settlement of Gudben, they said.

Gadzhimagomedov was a vocal critic of Islamic extremism who had spoken out against militants during a service at the mosque Friday, police said. They said the killing was "clearly a revenge attack" by Islamic militants. In July, a deputy chief mufti at the central mosque in the provincial capital, Makhachkala, was killed, along with his driver, by a roadside bomb blast.
