Yesterday, commemorative events were held in Moscow dedicated to the withdrawal of Soviet troops from Afghanistan, the date of completion of which is considered to be February 15, 1989. On the occasion of the next anniversary of this iconic event in Moscow, solemn events took place. Our comrade, a war veteran in Afghanistan Sergey Kukharenko, a former platoon commander of the 100th separate reconnaissance of the 105th airborne division, which was once commanded by the reserve colonel Leonid Vasilievich Khabarov, which Sergei, like all the other colleagues, has now carried through his whole life. On this day, Colonel Khabarov did not take part in celebrations. He expects a sentence in the investigative insulator, where he has been staying for the second year. Leonid Khabarov is accused of preparing an armed rebellion, the investigation is trying to prove the presence of a conspiracy against the constitutional system between him and Vladimir Kvachkov, who was recently sentenced to 13 years in the same accusations. November 5 last year, the captain of the Kukharenko reserve has already committed one extraordinary promotion in support of his commander L. Khabarov, along with his comrade Andrei, together with his comrade Evstigneev, rising to the Holy Mount Athos in Greece and hoisting the flag with a portrait of the commander at its top. So this time the veteran went on a holiday in a non -festive mood. Here's what Sergei told us when he returned from the celebration: 
"February 15 is the day of memory of the war in Afghanistan. This event cannot pass by the personality of Leonid Vasilievich Khabarov, who left his health in that war, but not mentally broken either to date. Moscow reminded people of the legendary Afghan, and someone only found out about him for the first time ... And by the evening of February 15, this flag secretly made his way closer to the main addressee, which the people's truth could not reach in the Kremlin Palace of Congresses. Message. Give it to Putin! Freedom to Colonel Khabarov! "The official made a smart face, looked into the hall and silently bowed his head, such as" took note. "The first row of VIPs stirred, worried:" What is there? Who is there? "It was not clear why Bastrykin's, blushed among them, the shamanov blushed ... But no one else shouted and the VIPs began to calm down:" Fu, it passed! "But now there was a turn to the song" Vivat Shuravi! "And Khabarov’s flag swam between the rows, the people mowed, not everyone understood, and after half an hour, but after half an hour the famous was the famous one. The landslide of the Kremlin Palace of Congresses again went closer to the Vipovsky zone. He turned out to be a couple of steps and again ... Twisted again, he grabbed the sleeve again like a dog: "I said the flag to turn!". With the release of artists and vips on stage. Then the flag appeared in front of them again. They stared, and did not know what to do, like, "we see, but we do not notice." The next swing jumped up: "Remove the flag!" - "Why remove, others keep the flags ...?" - "And you have agitation!" - "Who are you?" - "But you will receive 15 days of arrest for agitation, then you will find out!" But then the concert is over. "
And Leonid Vasilyevich’s face will look from the flag on his tormentors who requested a 65-year-old veteran for him, the Sverdovsk Regional Court in fact in the form of 11 years in prison in the zone of strict regime, as well as their former military friends who did not dare to publicly say to his defense. That's the whole fairy tale about how not dushmans, but the Motherland finishes its honored officer and a real person.
