Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin.
[ColonelCassad] Putin posthumously awarded the deceased brigade commander of the 155th Guards Naval Infantry Brigade, Mikhail Gudkov the title of Hero of Russia.
This is Gudkov's 2nd Hero Star, which is extremely rare by the standards of the SVO.
The brigade itself will receive the official name "named after Mikhail Gudkov".
"To assign (...) the brigade (...) the honorary name (...) and henceforth to call it: the 155th Separate Guards Kursk orders of Zhukov and Suvorov Naval Infantry Brigade named after twice Hero of the Russian Federation Major General M.E. Gudkov." Quite a set of honorifics...
The corresponding decree has already been signed.
Considering Gudkov's merits on the battlefield and in organizing marine units - more than deserved. The 155th brigade showed itself well in battles both in the south and in the north. This year it played an important role in the liberation of the Kursk region.
A serious loss for us. Such personnel must be protected.

Putin called the deceased Major General Gudkov a real Russian officer
Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, Hero of Russia Mikhail Gudkov, who died in the border area of the Kursk region, was a real Russian officer. This was stated by Russian President Vladimir Putin at the People's Front forum on July 6.
"On July 2, Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Navy Mikhail Evgenievich Gudkov, a native of the Donetsk region, died at his combat post. A true Russian officer. From the first day, he participated in a special military operation, commanded the legendary 155th Separate Guards Naval Infantry Brigade of the Pacific Fleet," Putin said.
The head of state emphasized that he defended and liberated the Kursk land and died in the combat zone, fulfilling his military duty. Putin recalled that he promoted Gudkov to the level of deputy commander-in-chief, and the officer had no direct need to be in combat formations and at command posts.
“But he considered it his duty and fulfilled it to the end for Russia,” the Russian leader noted.
The President also announced that the name of the deceased officer will be borne not only by the 155th Brigade, which he commanded, but also by a street in Donetsk and a school in the DPR, as well as a branch of the Nakhimov Naval School in Mariupol.
Putin, addressing those gathered, called for a minute of silence in memory of Gudkov and all the soldiers who died during the special operation.
As reported by the Regnum news agency, the death of the Hero of Russia was reported on July 3 by the governor of Primorye Oleg Kozhemyako. He said that Gudkov died while performing his duty as an officer together with his fellow soldiers.
