Well, if you look closely, you will notice that the modern order of courage is more similar not to the soviet one, but to the tsarist badge of the peoples militia of the first world war. Look, its practically a tracing paper. Almost all modern orders have analogues that were in the royal or the soviet award system. The same feats for which they were awarded before are still awarded today. A feat remains a feat in any era. After orders in the hierarchy of awards come medals. And they are, for the most part, heirs of the soviet National System. Medal of honor. It is worn immediately after all orders and is valued above all other medals. The medal for courage appeared in 1938. Before the revolution there was no analogue, the modern one almost completely copies the soviet one, they only removed the inscription ussr from the obverse in the lower part, leaving the silhouettes three i16 fighters and a t35 tank. This medal has always been considered the most honorable and respected among the military. Former Intelligence Officer rostem klupov still remembers the feat of his soldier, who received a medal for courage during the war. This wire cannot be broken by an explosion, and he gnawed through this wire, which means that, losing consciousness, bleeding under the car, he remained alive, the modern National System is alive, it grows and develops along with the country. On march 23, 2023, a new medal appeared, for bravery, the award is given for bravery and courage during other combat operations to protect the fatherland and state interests, as well as when maintaining or restoring International Peace and security. The medal has an ancient history in 1788, medals with the inscription for bravery began to be awarded to participants in the russianturkish war. In 1913 , georgievskaya appeared. It was awarded not only to the military, but also to civilians, for example, during the first world war, many nurses and orderlies received it. The history of the country can be traced through the russian award system. Feel the connection of times, because behind every award there is a feat of the person who accomplished it. Address of the president of the Russian FederationVladimir Putin to the federal assembly. Live broadcast on february 29 at 12 00 moscow time. Lets go, lets go the special military operation has been going on for 2 years, not only the infantry is working, we have both tanks and artillery working, they are working on it, we are working on everything as a whole. Thousands of defenders of the fatherland, thousands of heroes are fighting at the front, among whom are they, fearless stormtroopers, infantry. The group is in position, ready to deploy, weapons have been checked. Assaults, they are the first to go into battle, they see the enemy eye to eye. Rush into positions and fight off counterattacks. Mariupol, severodonetsk. Artyomovsk, behind every captured city there are stories of courage and heroism. Now ours and avdeevka have been a strategically important fortified area of the armed forces of ukraine since 2014, a heroic breakthrough of the russian army. On february 17, 2024, the town of avdeevka was liberated by attack aircraft. Only forward and not backtracking, rare footage taken by our drone as a scout, south donetsk direction, novomikhailovka, the storm detachment of the twenty ninth army is working, the enemy doesnt even suspect. Four people on radio interception they are running out of ammunition, perhaps they have already left it, there was fog, we entered the roads , we are getting to the position, broken country roads, impassable mud, this is the near rear , it is dangerous here, there are enemy drones in the sky, there is a risk of a missile strike, well, so that there is at least some idea of what happens on frontline roads in the day. The warming will unravel, its just mud, black soil, were were practically driving sideways on the road, i dont know, only heavy equipment can move, not far from here, one of the most difficult sections of the front, we are at the combat positions of our attack aircraft, among whom there may be fighters from the storm detachment. Hi all. Good morning. The situation is not just close to the real front line. These are all the same sections of the front along which the line of combat contact previously ran. The trees are riddled with fragments, the fields are plowed with craters, badger, badger, lordly, badger, badger, badger, im russian, welcome, here you go they, the heroes of that very battle, call sign barsik , are the castle of the platoon, we are waiting for his return from the field , if i dont go there, then my place will be empty, from this place no one will cover my friend. For a threeday operation under the enemys nose, the storm detachment was presented with state awards. The squad commander , cherny, is 25 years old, he comes from shcheta, a volunteer, and has already been awarded the order of courage and a medal for courage. I imagined the war very differently. I thought there would be a lot of tanks and planes. But it turns out that the infantry is also first place. For myself, the most valuable thing is all sorts of little things, the same as the bird sounds, how the reset clicks, all this is important. Detachment commander morton, a career military man in the northern military district since the fall of 2022. Previously, there was an idea that rnoviks were like paratroopers, marines, they were 80 meters and higher. They are all athletes, in life this is almost not the case, ordinary guys, stocky , some are tall, some are thin, some are long, everyone who has such a vein to go on an assault, who doesnt give up, yes, experience special operations showed that the technology can be the most advanced, but in modern combat everything is still decided by people, infantry, assaults, until the foot of the infantryman sets foot on the enemy. To destroy, if we dont go there, the enemy will definitely go there, this is 100 , so we need to go there, clear , if necessary, storm. The t72 tank arrived, the guys had already completed several trips, they had a couple of minutes to rest. How do you interact with the infantry, who has what task . Infantry to storm us, support them with fire, here at the training grounds we practice all this and leave already in actions up to automaticity we work it out more simply, everyone already knows their job. If you need to act quickly. Contributed to the advancement of the infantry all the way forward, each departure is a combat mission and you never know whether you will return from it, the zaporozhye direction, the bmd4m airborne combat vehicle is rushing towards the positions of the Ukrainian Armed forces. There is an open field all around, attack aircraft under tank cover are approaching a forest plantation, where our reconnaissance had earlier discovered enemy infantry. Rapid attack, the occupied positions were transferred to our units. 126 guards Coastal Defense brigade, they were the first to enter new kokhovka and crossed the dnieper, fought near voznesensk and new odesso. They advanced in the krivoy rog direction, and then held back the enemys onslaught under osokorovka and the duchchans. October 2023. We are going to the motorized infantry of the 126th Coastal Defense brigade to one of the most difficult sections of the front near kherson, where the frontline runs right along the dnieper river. You can feel random civilian vehicles approaching the line of combat contact. There is practically no more, only military transport, roads destroyed by mines and shells, there are arrivals and drones, this can be seen from the units of burnt equipment, we are met by the Company Commander, guard senior lieutenant oleg pivovarov, a hero of russia, together with him we go to positions. Pivovarov took command in august 2022. Oleg received the heros gold star for a feat that could have cost him his life. We had two officers in the company, this was the Company Commander, one yakvoda. And when he died, he had to take command of himself. It was especially difficult for them in those days. At one point the young the commander and twenty of his soldiers had to take up a perimeter defense. From the right to the left of the police lane we had ear mufflers. They thought that. There was no one anymore, that is , they calmly, voluntarily entered the forest belt, there was direct contact with the enemy, there was a shootout, then they heard after that and an interception from usu, that some kind of special forces were sowing here, in short, and its like theyre not leaving here , in short, we are hammering them here and aviation flew in, helicopters, hammered, and he didnt find any other solution than to bring out his infantry through the clock field and call fire with he saved his own the fighters lured the enemy into a trap, in a matter of seconds the enemy was hit by rockets from our hail, the chances of survival were minimal, but oleg was lucky. Before i called fire on myself, i led the first part of the platoon into the field, there were 10 people, they went out into the field, i called fire on myself, the first time it worked, we were in the trenches, here is the trench. These are such serious things that really save lives, that is , narrow, deep ones. The use of fire has been well known since the time of the great patriotic war, this is an extreme step, a heroic but murderous measure, the last chance, by dying yourself, to take more enemies. At that moment i only thought that if i didnt go out myself, then i would take more with me. Town, i didnt see anything other than military life, and the decision to become a military man kind of came from there, that is, from my father after all, because i didnt see myself in civilian life at all, that is, lastly with my father, the shoulder straps of an officer oleg. I did it in the twentyfirst year after college and went to serve in the Coastal Defense brigade as a platoon commander, then a special operation. We went through a lot, we saw a lot , there were real massacres there, we saw real tank battles there in august last year, when i was still a platoon commander, when 19 tanks were destroyed near novovorentsovka, so being here, its no longer calm, of course, but already i feel more or less confident. Thirty, thirty, i am an atom. Already as a Company Commander, in only one battle he knocked out a tank and six enemy armored personnel carriers. In the spring of 2023, oleg pevovarov was awarded a gold star. An ordinary pillow, Oleg Ivanovich, swaying like that, loved nap. He says, oh, how i love to sit on the street and watch what is happening around me. I say oleg yes, i will kiss you, because this is one of my favorite states. He sits down next to me and looks at me, and i am a young artist. I say what, Oleg Ivanovich . He says its good to be young. He was playing a dramatic scene, i said stop, he turned to the camera, said, so, steak or cutlet, he said, a second after the scene in which he had tears in his eyes, the last time when he came out on stage, i remember he felt very, very bad, we already knew what was happening to him, and there were so many flowers at the end of the performance, it felt like people were saying goodbye to him, i love this photo, but i dont know, whats happened. To the eightieth birthday of oleg yankovsky, today on the first. Lyosha, lets turn it on so that there is something, now well start to figure it out. So whats the matter, i want to show the movie to a person. There are people who make films out of thin air, and i make them out of myself. And you dont have to tell me anything, ill do everything i know. And a lot. On the birthday of alexei balabanov, the premiere, tomorrow at the first, in voronezh, at the aircraft plant, i saw how the soviet supersonic superliner was born. They took him to the airfield and he rang, hummed, fluttered, washed into the sky, and like a huge deity disappeared into the blue, on a hebastus, in a coal mine, black magma flowed along the conveyor, filling the bodies of huge dump trucks, and the combine, like a monstrous dinosaur, stepped over with his iron paws and victorious claps he cut through the coal seam. Three. Confession on monday at the first comrade minister of defense of the Russian Federation i am very much. A little surprise to see the neighboring location to his dear friend, lets hope that the surprise will be pleasant, i got it, great, great, welcome, alexey, im very pleased. Ilya was born and raised in sevastopol; in february 2014, when he was only 15, he was one of the first to join the militia. And i went as a volunteer. To protect the state administration of the city of sevastopol, at that time i was 15 years old, i had a goal, i had a dream, namely to enter the Suvorov Military School in russia and this career as a military officer. According to the distribution in 2021, ilya and oleg ended up in the same brigade together. By the way, recently , i thought you would just come right away, but i, in short, napalm had two kamiks just like that, they struck half an hour ago. Today its normal already in the morning he says so, and we also fly all the time, youre also giving them nightmares, but of course i have a job, theres an airline there, my airline. You are with oleg or oleg with you its like we did everything together, we are together in the same company were, we started together , even in fact, but you can say that we complement each other, that is, he came up with something, i came up with something, their friendship was tested in a combat situation, once oleg suffered a comrade during artillery shelling on one of the dnieper islands, we always pull each other out, when lets say on the island i was shellshocked, so he himself went after me. That is, on a boat to get me, the two of them are ready to move mountains, but here on the northern military district they dont see each other as often as we would like, they worry if someone alone doesnt come out for a long time communication, we came here already as plant commanders , we constantly stayed together and seemed to constantly support each other, but here, of course , its important, because since hes going somewhere there, and im like, no, i say, dont stop, or im going , that is, he also holds where you support. It will help somewhere, we constantly support each other. Infantry, attack aircraft, they are always on the front line, they are the first to enter enemy positions and know that the slightest mistake can cost their lives. Here they practice the necessary skills and tactical actions. Now whats your is your main task combat . Our task is as follows now two assault groups with the cover of a tank, the tank will have a grass roller, they will capture the enemys strong point, or rather there will be two strong points, they are located sequentially, the task of a detachment consisting of a Rifle Company and two assault groups, they will take these are the supports. Here the infantry flies in, come on, commander from the spot, everything can be done like this on the fly, i understand, yes, now we need a camera, they move in combat twos, threes, fives, now theyre entering the next forest belt, also a combat zone, they work in a combat manner, that is, thats all. Like in real life, lets go, the assault squad is moving towards the enemys strong point, sit down here, im off, sit down here, wait for the next one, where else are the people, there is contact. Im holding everything, im holding it, lets move on, air, air, air, unexpectedly an introductory message arrived, air, a bird, look at it, black, you see it, thats it, gone, lets go, forward, the guys are almost close. To the opornik, lets go, lets go, lets go, lets go, grenade, entrance go grenades, troika, grenade launcher, his assistant and machine gunner, covering the stormtroopers, we go , we go here, come, go, what do you have black there , just like that, clean, come on, load a grenade, the first strong point is taken, the stormtroopers are moving to. We captured the opornik, cleared it, took up defense, as you hear the reception, which means occupy. Finish, but return to the starting points, how . After each task, analysis of mistakes , you understand these moments, no, how they advanced , the left central flank came out, the right flank forgot about it and just went on, where they went, the right flank was left, that is, to the side the enemy was opened, and dismounting, when it happens from the car, our task is what to do first, we are running away from it, im sorry, i didnt say that, why are we running away, remember . She will just start spinning and will smear you all there, you understand these moments, no, i accepted, ran out from her and run away from her to the side, they brought you to the support, everyone stood up and stood, waiting for them to jump, run until you fall behind this brusler, spread out, dont stand in a crowd, dont create a crowd of support workers, the closer you are to each other, the greater the chance of dying, fight for every meter, it seems like a figure of speech, until they appear. Such footage, our soldier makes his way alone into the trench of ukrainian militants under the flint, in a matter of seconds three are killed, two are taken prisoner. Firstly, patience survived, lying down for 40 minutes is not easy , survived when they turn around, a convenient moment, but this is a feat, in fact, a handsome man, one took the largest one, which they could not take there for a month, only then the name of the hero will be known, alexander maltsev, together with his comrades , he stormed the enemys fortifications, two of our the soldiers were wounded. Having provided them with assistance, alexander decided to finish the assault, and having gained a foothold in the enemys trench, he waited for his own. His assault on a trench can already be seen as a training video for stormtroopers, it already shows it in full. It was march 10, 2023, 3 days later a new task, which turned out to be the last. Maltsev died covering his own on the battlefield. While the guys were pulling him out, he diverted attention to himself in order to let the wounded man escape, he was actually reached, my teacher, my commander, courage, speed, cool head, ill highlight this, february 2024. Direction, in order to see the combat work of Company Commander elijah along the road, we had to go to him in the dark, because during Daylight Hours it is especially dangerous, we stop at the command post, so we sneak in the night, i dont know here, there are no landmarks, we dive im practically crawling into a hole. Oh, and here the guys have an underground fortification, they did everything themselves , dug everything out, we saw this when they were just being built six months ago, so here the guys have a small kitchen, in general, at dawn we go to the positions, the bank of the dnieper, the craters, trenches, dilapidated houses, but this is already the very front line of the trench, this is what the front line looks like, there are probably practically no civilians here, or there are still, no, no, there were after the flood. In the summer of 2023 , the ukrainian country destroyed the kokhovskaya gas station, and the guys moved on boats, somewhere in the water, but did not leave their positions. Literally immediately the next day we went back into the water, well, that is , we were on the upper floors of the houses, that is, because its impossible to leave the front under any circumstances, well, yes, yes, here of course one feels that there were serious battles and a flood, houses were beaten, destroyed by flood. We reach the bank of the dnieper in a few minutes , look, here you can already see the water, here we are next to the river, the exit is in the direction of the dnieper, here it is the river, the dnieper is behind me somewhere, and there is already the enemy, thats it, the very front the line of defense here, the guys have everything already equipped, here they dont let anyone through, a mines sign, well, heres the position, whats. Guys, heres also an equipped position from this antidono, special nets from discharges, here fpv work, in this house and. Life depends on proper camouflage on the front line, everyone lives in dugouts, basements, here in the basement its safe, its still good protection and you can sleep peacefully at night from artillery shelling. Work is in full swing on the upper floors; this is the air station. Observation of enemy unmanned aircraft, now a bird , but that is, its already there, and now its already arrived, theres an analyzer, in the analyzer it shows now, roughly speaking, these are the frequencies, from the frequencies you can determine both the distance and the model of the drone, reconnaissance , attack, all kinds of birds are fighting in the skies over donbass , zaporozhye and kherson, in attack fpv drones, they shot down a bird, the eyes of the enemy, as reconnaissance drones are called in the northern military district, were destroyed, we had better leave this place quickly before it starts. The footage was taken by a copter for a reconnaissance officer in the village of urozhainoye, a very difficult battle, five of our attack aircraft , two of them were wounded against 12 Ukrainian Armed forces fighters, some 10 meters from each other, the commander gave us the task of taking a place on the opornik, we took it, opornik, thats it, well must hold him were. You start, there was only one task , to extinguish them, thats all, not to let them pass, then the enemy began to throw grenades at our support officer, they had a senior one, gave them commands to throw grenades, shoot, watched where i was, directed them in my direction , the enemy never managed to take the stronghold, an hour later the Ukrainian Armed forces unit was forced to simply flee, all our attack aircraft, participants in this battle, were awarded orders of courage, and ivan kalashnikov for his competent actions. Was awarded a gold hero star. Our the next stop is the unmanned airline bars, the knowhow and main pride of the commander of the motorized Rifle Company ilya along the way. Im roto and ive been in command for a year now, within a year theyve already been tested and showed themselves to be excellent, courageously performing combat missions in those places where. It was just very, very hot, lets put it this way , the boys did not disgrace their honor division, bars airline, welcome on board, lets go, ill show you where they live, also a basement, you see, they cut through everything, prepared it for themselves, did it, go through, yeah, i walk, i walk, everything here is in holes, in crevices. In the basements, oh, everything is also homelike, uh huh, we see, we see, thats why the guys here have created warmth, they live in shelters, in dugouts, basements, theres no other way here. Because the impact often happens, lets go to the laboratory, here is lech, here is the laboratory in which he does the work, here i am a turner 28 45, you repair everything yourself, of course, there are guys, that is, everyone is doing their task, so to speak, thats it , here are the twodrones, these are them, so to speak, we have them as trophies, we put them in beer, boys, they reflashed it, assembled it, then. Completely repaired it, then sent it back to them, oh, and thats the burnt one, whats wrong with it, we ended up right in the battery, youre cool, what can i say, its such a cozy room here, from which combat work is carried out, he works with fpv drones, also constantly, that is , everything, but where is the enemy, where is he . Is already sitting where you find him, here on the islands, on the islands, and we are looking for the enemy, prowling, watching, constantly flying there, constantly aerial reconnaissance, we are working on identified targets, they saw, they were defeated, and accordingly, well, we have this whole fixation, in conversation ilya constantly remembers his friend oleg pevovavarov, with whom they more than once found themselves in the thick of it, but they always knew that there was someone nearby who would not let you down and would always support, only. Here you understand the price of life, the price of life and friendship, the friendship of camaraderie, here only this can be understood, when you risk yourself for the sake of a friend, only here it is, ah , change, bells, stomped the crow, hello boyars, here is the wedding train i arrived, and we have a young princess, but she is dear, she will live like an overseas noblewoman, this is a twig. Here in pskov it is called beauty, it was a symbol of the passing of girlhood and entry into married life. Take it so that everyone knows that you are a bride. Here is the place for the braid, because at that time only the husband could see the hair. Here is water for you, here is hops for you, do not spare the hops, as if you were born again. We break it, taste it, then drink it down so its sweet and a lot of bitter. Our premiere, we are playing a wedding, tomorrow at the first, it was real a star, they fought for him, and he had, he had the most important opportunity to choose, well , he turns out to be very charming, kind, i say, what do you want me to take a child by the legs and hit his head against the wall, film but not. After that, many compatriots learned in a completely different way what kind of enemy he was. Mom, by the way , told me about the scene with luke, at first there was a light hatch, a fake one, she removed it so easily with her head that it was implausible, and they brought her the real thing, i ask, at least dont meet me strangers with. You cant say, tomorrow at the first, in september, the annual highest review, his majesty has not missed a single review, he will not miss this one, these are your chernigovites, people, people Lieutenant Colonel muravyov, we must leave, i ask you, go away , Lieutenant Colonel, stop the soldiers, go back, gentlemen, you are under arrest, all of the listed conspirators serve in units of the first second army in molarusia, a big premiere, they are going to kill you first, ignore you, dont i judge them, from monday on the first. Krasnoyarsk region, meeting of the new year, on the threshold of his parents house, the hero of russia, oleg pivovarov, who less than a day ago was still on the front line. Happy new year, i cant, child creature. They just made a wish, we need oleg, two brothers took me, my relatives, and we are with them on december 31st. 10 pm we are flying with them , we stop right after the chimes, as my uncle told me, my mother and sister made a wish for me to return home. This meeting happened thanks to olegs best friend and colleague ilya on the way to replace his comrade on the front line, he literally escaped from the hospital. I spent 5 days in the hospital , they were dripping me there, i asked, i said, discharge me, please, i was discharged and on the thirty first of the month i was already here. I. Really wanted him to come home and make his family, his mother, his sister happy. It was really very important for me, so as for the sake of a friend, im also ready to do anything. For olegs relatives, this was the most longawaited gift. At first i didnt even understand, i cant put it into words, we clung to him, we were crying, we were laughing, we couldnt let him go. This is the new one we had a year, i didnt recognize him right away, because i hadnt seen him for a very long time. I immediately ran up, hugged him and my mother, cried a lot, because it was unexpected, i was very happy that he had finally arrived, he somehow later said thank you in a brotherly way, before that he said thank you, well, of course, yes, this is the most important thing, to hear from a person, thank you for saving his life, for making such a decision, two young officers, both in the most difficult sectors of the front. Now you are already an officer, there is an association, its even yours friendship there with oleg, like the officers in the film , just when they first drove the bosmots there, then there was the great patriotic war and so on, so we were even before the special military operation, but we were friends, he and i decided together. We decided together , here this was already more manifested precisely in battle, but this friendship, when they pulled each other out, when we were side by side constantly together, we worried about all the problems for each other, being there and even kilometers supported us constantly, sincerely without envy , well, its like hes best friends, he has two orders of courage also for certain points there too, good guy. Quite the same, and as a commander of a very responsible person, medals are good, but the most important thing is to return home to your family alive and healthy. During the six months that we did not see each other, oleg grew in rank and position, now he is a guard captain, Deputy Commander of an assault detachment. This time, unfortunately, it was not possible to meet. The hero of russia is again where he is needed most. The front line, like thousands of our other guys, infantrymen, attack aircraft, beats the enemy, and this is the video that was shot assaults, speaks for itself, we completed all the tasks assigned to the detachment, to our great happiness we arrived without a hundred, all the boys were slightly wounded, so ill quickly return, rushed into formation, stormtroopers, so who are they, superheroes without a doubt . Your loved ones, for the sake of all of us. An operation that will be included in military textbooks. During the recent battle for avdievka, our attack aircraft suddenly appeared at the enemys positions literally from underground, through a drainpipe. The task seemed crazy, but doable. The diameter of this pipe is about one and a half meters. The attack aircraft moved fully unloaded, with weapons, in bulletproof vests, helmets, bent over, sometimes kneedeep in water. The soldiers had to travel several kilometers underground, there was not enough oxygen, people sometimes got lost, but they still did their job. Footage from the camera on the helmet of our soldier, the first foray behind enemy lines. Ukrainian fighters used all their strength to hold the fortified areas. Everyone was running there, running, running, they tried to knock her out , they tried to beat her off with everything they could, komikat, manpower, technicians came, they were crazy they landed troops, they landed for 6 days. The russian flag was raised over the liberated ovdeevka. For 10 years, the Ukrainian Armed forces turned this city into a completely fortified area, but now it too has been taken. Thanks to the russian soldiers who liberated us. They hid as best they could, listening to the sounds that were happening in the sky. We are all at home. So they came to us there, in the Department Stores where we lived, a crowd of such bearded bastards came in. Begins to frighten us men, frighten us, well, the peculiarities of men, because potential enemies will win for us, a victory in significance comparable to liberation of mariupol and artyomovsk, and our main troops pushed the front line away from donetsk, there was a feeling of pride in the russian army, in our grandfathers, this is a great victory that we took the avdeyka, this is a successful breakthrough, the role of attack aircraft in which is priceless.
