Then, to smash fiercely,
Shoot the gun at foreigners ... "

Gigabytes of information, including photos of documents, fell on the head of the reading public. There are known surnames of the middle of middleism of those who seemed to take part in the battles in the southeast of Ukraine-in the Lutuginsky district of the Luhansk region. The names and names of the parents of Russian military personnel, the surnames and names of their brothers, sisters and friends are named. County and other personal information. The Ukrainian side made her comments. The Russian military also did not hesitate with the answer. In the era, when almost every soldier has his own page of the VKontakte social network, nothing can be concealed.
All journalists had the opportunity to check the information that dispersed on the Internet on August 22-24, 2014. There, it was extremely clear on behalf of the wife of one of the Pskov paratroopers of Oksana: “Life stopped !!!!!!!!!”, “Lenya died, a funeral at 10 a.m. Who wants to say goodbye to him, come to everyone we will see. ” Then there was a clarification: "On Monday, at 11 in the morning in the Baby, the funeral ...."
The name of the paratrooper was a friend - Leonid Kichatkin . The same surname near No. 15 was listed in the manuscript list of verification, which ended up in the hands of the Ukrainian military near Lugansk. Not everyone believed in the information. Moreover, all the tragic notes quickly disappeared and were replaced by an optimistic record: "My husband is alive and healthy and now we celebrate the christening of my daughter."
But nevertheless, on August 25, 2014, we arrived in the Baby, to the temple of Ilya of the Prophet, 15 kilometers from Pskov, and were ready to see a small temple locked on Monday morning on the banks of the Velikhi River.
But the temple was open.
It would be better if it was closed, and everyone would be alive.
Moreover, the temple was surrounded by the military. Nearby stood two buses and a dozen and a half cars. And the cars all drove up and drove up, including a large truck covered in tarpaulin. There were military men behind the wheel. A little later, a minibus arrived, providing ritual services. By this time, one coffin was already in the temple. Next to him stood a military honorary guard and relatives.

The funeral service has not yet begun, but being in the temple or near the temple was already unsafe. Present people in the form began to calculate outsiders. It seems that they succeeded in part. The scene was not the most suitable for the last farewell. A blow, threats, an attempt to search and the like. Everything eventually ended with the intervention of the policeman. The farewell ceremony, meanwhile, began. Cars with the military continued to drive along a broken dirt road.
In the afternoon, two fresh graves appeared on the edge of the rural cemetery. The second time we came to this cemetery after 16.00 and did not immediately find these graves. We were prompted by the locals: “Looking for the graves of the military? Then return to a large green garbage container. This is a landmark. "
Fifty meters from the container really quickly found two fresh graves. There was a large wooden cross on one. There was a sign on it: “Kichatkin Leonid Yuryevich, 09.30. 1984 - 19.08. 2014 ". The surname-humanity coincided with what was recorded in the very list of evening verification. Below, in wreaths and in flowers, there was a photograph of a person in military uniform.
This was the same person whose photographs until the last were exhibited on the page of the VKontakte social network - until they disappeared until they disappeared.
Very nearby was another grave with the same cross, but without a photograph. On the black plate, it was written with golden letters: " Osipov Alexander Sergeevich , 12/15/1993 - 08/20/2014". On the wreath there was a mourning tape with the inscription: “From the personnel of the GV VDS. 104 DShP ".
This is so far all I can say about our trips to the Pskov cemeteries. I will not draw any conclusions. What do you want, then think.
Ukrainian media and bloggers claim that Leonid Kichatkin, Nikita Kyuchaev, Maxim Polyanin, Ruslan Bychkov, Nikolai Matvian, Dmitry Dolgov, Igor Kochukov, Nikita Surnachev, Ilya Maksimov, Vladimir Krygin, Konstantin Taborovets, Andrei Lukyanov, Marseille Slyamanov fought on the side of the “militia”. Ivan Tkachenko, Alexander Bezbubny, Vagit Shashuev, Igor Kochetov, Rustam Nasiev, Viktor Tolstoy, Maxim Belousov, Leonid Suprun, Vladimir Rybakov, Gennady Murzin, Ruslan Kondraleev, Roman Moskalev, Ilya Kukhta, Rimir Islamgizin, Maxim Surazakov, Dmitry Zhnakin ... In total 47 people, and in the photo of the list of evening verification, as if selected on the battlefield, generally 60 names. Apparently, the list was formed as a result of a comparative analysis of the verification and pages magazine on the VKontakte social network.
Ukrainian media and bloggers, without hiding joy, write that “a platoon under the command of Art. Lieutenant I. A. Popov Pskovskaya 76 GV DSHD is no more. ”
The journalist of Gromadsky TV Anastasia Stanko reported a few days ago on Twitter about eight paratroopers from Pskov, supposedly in the difficult condition of Lugansk in the regional hospital. According to her, "they are non -transportable, another 30 people were sent to the Rostov hospital."
In response, the commander of the airborne troops of the Russian Armed Forces, Colonel-General Vladimir Shamanov , who was in Pskov on August 22, 2014, said: “In our landing and storm brigade, everyone is alive and healthy.”
Even earlier, the official representative of the ministry, Major General Igor Konashenkov, said about the same. According to him, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation considers the Ukrainian media to be a fake about the “capture” in Ukraine of the Russian BMD-2. The official representative of the Ministry of Defense believes that the official documents allegedly found in this machine have not been used in the Armed Forces of Russia for about five years. “Yes, and it is not clear why in an armored vehicle to carry such an extensive library, including even a magazine of dismissal of ordinary staff? - said Igor Konashenkov. “In relation to passports, credit cards, policies, etc., which are appearing in the media, we can only say one thing: one must add to the numerous“ exploits ”of the SBU and one more -“ Buying of the stolen ”.”
The Pskov paratroopers who are near Lugansk were spoke after the Ukrainian media published information that is clear without translation: “Sogodni Vranzi in the battle of PD Lugansk Ukrainian VIISKOVI closed the DVI BMD of the Divizi Airborne Forces of the Rosiya. At the machine of Viya, the package of Documentyv - VID of the Vodіysk Rights to Viezikovikh Documentyv. Particular warehouse I was assigned to military unit 74268, Pershumi-Parachulous Roti Pskov Divizi Airborne Forces. ”

A message about the death of Leonid Kichatkin on his page on the VKontakte social network. The page is currently deleted.
For persuasiveness, photographs of things allegedly captured on the battlefield were published, including a PCT tank machine gun with a sign, which indicates the name of the machine gunner - “Private Surnachev N. D.”.
To establish the authenticity or non -mercy of credit cards, policies, driver’s licenses and passports is a deadlock path. Insurance policy, passport, bank card or card from the hypermarket - in any case, is not evidence. Photos of a machine gun, the old BMD-2, the military charter, the statements of the fixed weapons and the handwritten verification magazine is also not evidence. The collection of blue berets can be collected easily. It is not necessary to wait for the platoon of the Pskov paratroopers in the fields near Lugansk.
True, it will be established then and only when the fate of the mentioned military personnel is revealed. All without exception. So far, we know about the fate of Leonid Kichatkin - at least about when his life ended.
It can be said that the named names and surnames of Russian military personnel are not fictional. According to the photographs on the pages of VKontakte, their military biography is more or less clear. Who was awarded the medal "For the Return of the Crimea", and who is not. It is not for nothing that the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation Sergey Shoig U, who arrived in Pskov on August 22, 2014, handing the Order of Suvorov the 76th Airborne School Division, said that "this year the division completed special tasks to return the Republic of Crimea to the Russian Federation."
The names of cities that Russian military personnel (and most likely, former military personnel) who allegedly participated in the battles near Lugansk are known are known to be their native cities: Pskov (Leonid Kichatkin, Victor Tolstoy), Belgorod (Nikolai Matvian), Pervomaisky (Maxim Polyanin), Ardatov (Ruslan Bychkov), island (Dmitry Dolgov), Tambov (Igor Igor) Kochukov), Novosibirsk (Andrey Lukyanov), Mitrovo-Ayup (Marseille Suleimanov), Plotava (Ivan Tkachenko), Kamensk-Shakhtinsky (Nikita Trucheaev), Makushino, Kurgan region (Rustam Nasiev), Pechora (Maxim Belousov), Pechora (Leonid Suprun), Nizhny Novgorod (Vladimir Rybakov), Kem (Ilya Kitta), Kurganinsk, Krasnodar Territory (Gennady Murzin), Saransk (Ruslan Kondraleev), Yaroslavl (Roman Moskalev), Shebalino, Altai Territory (Marseille Surazakov) ...
So this is not a conversation about geopolitics. And not about politics at all. This is a conversation about people who have names and surnames, relatives and friends.
Bloggers argue about whether the soldier from Pskov could have a map of the Belgorod club.
This is an indescribable dispute. Even if the Pskov paratroopers did not fly on transport aircraft to the Russian city of Belgorod.
Not all named military personnel from Pskov. They are from the Urals, from Siberia, the Krasnodar Territory and other places. That is, they could have any club cards, but the club card itself cannot even be indirect evidence in hostilities.
The conversation that the internal passport of a citizen of Russia could not be in the hands of a carrier serviceman is also an endless. In the usual time - yes, I could not. After the draft, the passport is surrendered, and the serviceman has only a military ID. But the Pskov military, Ukrainians suspect that they quit in the summer of 2014-shortly before going to the southeast of Ukraine. For this reason, supposedly the date of issuance of the media presented by the media passport of a native of Pechor Nikolai Krygin , born in 1994, is so remarkable: 08/01/2014
However, the documents themselves, even genuine, do not testify about anything yet. The passport can be lost. It can be stolen. Photos on the Internet are just reflected, but nothing more. In the context of information (and not only information) war, it is impossible to trust the statements of the warring parties.
The Ukrainian side declares, the Russian Ministry of Defense refutes. And vice versa. Both that and another so far does not look convincing enough. Some say: “Look, we are presenting the originals!” Others no less violently say: "We were presented with a fake!"
After that, an informational noise begins: “The provocation of the SBU! They opened the accounts in advance and turned the documents. In general, such magazines are no longer used anymore! ”,“ The Pskov Airborne Division of the Russian Federation is involved in aggression against Ukraine ”,“ in a general series of daily “revelations” of the Russian presence in Ukraine, this is already the 1001st certificate ”...
So far, this is only information support. Exercise in wit or just a way to speak teeth.
As a result, soldier graves on the edge of the rural cemetery.
It is necessary not to believe in pictures, but to people. Alive or dead. They can convince those who really seek to figure out what is happening. These are people whose names are mentioned in numerous messages. The opposite has not yet been proven, they are alive and healthy. If Ukrainians presented the world of wounded or killed Pskov paratroopers, then the words of Ukrainians would have sounded more significant.

The page of Alexander Osipov posted photos with the medal "For the Return of the Crimea."
In turn, the Russian side, for complete persuasiveness, must be presented to the living and unharmed Leonid Kichatkin, Alexander Osipov, Nikita Sernachev, Nikolai Krygin, Maxim Polyanin and the rest. Vladimir Shamanov said: "In our airborne assault brigade, everyone is alive and healthy." If so, then let the paratroopers (or former paratroopers) at least seem briefly. And at the same moment everyone will understand who wins in this information war.
In the meantime, we have only pictures and signatures to them. The pictures are the same, and the signatures are opposite, depending on which side of the conflict represents. As the soldier’s social network wrote on his page “VKontakte” whose surname is on the Ukrainian list: “Machu Khokhlov in Raspova !!!”
However, in this information noise, a minute of silence suddenly comes - so far according to Leonid Kichatkin and Alexander Osipov. To the question: “What happened to him?”, - there are no official answers yet. Perhaps they will appear in the near future.
The logic of the Ukrainian side is as follows: what happened near Lugansk resembles events during the defense of the Donetsk airport. The battles for this airport almost coincided with secret funerals in Moscow, when in the club units with all military honors said goodbye to 14 military personnel of the 45th special forces of the airborne troops, "simultaneously dead on vacation." The Ukrainian media then published photographs with mourning ribbons exhibited at the club of the military unit - with reference “to an eyewitness”.
So, the photographs set on the tables themselves, even with mourning ribbons, do not talk about anything. Mourning tapes can be drawn a billion. Like photos. Another thing is when we know the names, surnames and place of calling for Russian military personnel.
Some military personnel who fell into the new August list of Ukrainian media, once laid out on their pages of the VKontakte social network even their summons from the military registration and enlistment office (for example, Andrei Lukyanov from Novosibirsk, from Solidarity Street, called up on December 10, 2013 by the Military Commissariat of the Dzerzhinsky and Kalininsky districts).
It remains to establish where the Pskov paratroopers (or those who have recently been a paratrooper) are now. The numbers of combat vehicles and machine guns can be faked. Like passports. But there are relatives and friends of the military. In cities such as Ardatov, island, Pechora, Shebalino, Kurganinsk, it is impossible to hide Makushino, the soldier returned home or not. It will be found out in the coming days or weeks. There can be no half -truth. One of the two sides is lying.
As one of the Pskov paratroopers, whose surname fell on the list of Ukrainian bloggers: “Everything will be fine, wrote on his VKontakte page in April 2014. Theoretically. Practically. Logically. Deductive. Inductively. According to statistics. According to the theory of large numbers. According to Freud. According to Nietzsche. According to Darwin. In any way. "
It remains to determine who will be good and who benefits from the war in the lands, which have recently been peaceful.
It is clear so far that people such as publicist Alexander Prokhanov are gaining glasses, whose efforts of Pskov, even without the participation of the airborne assault division, are firmly linked to the militaristic imperial idea. His next “fiery” text is entitled “The Izborsky Club Strategic Bomber :“ Under Saratov, in the city of Engels, a celebration took place at the airfield of the long -range aviation division: one of the strategic missile carriers, TU 95 ms, was awarded the name of the city of Izborsk. And on his radiant fuselage appeared the name of this small heroic city and the emblem of the Izborsky club. The appropriation of a formidable machine named after the Izborsky Club indicates the recognition that this patriotic education uses in the circles of our public. On the runway among dozens of cars that make their strategic flights to the Atlantic and to the Pacific Ocean ... "
Another member of the Izborsky Club Alexander Dugin in the article “The Triumph of Traitors”, published on August 15, 2014 on the website of Novorossia, mentions “Dismantling of the Novorossia project”. According to Dugin, “the blow that we all received, the people, is monstrous. This is a direct blow to Russia and Putin personally. He himself gave hidden enemies an instrument in order to cause him the most serious troubles. "
Но у Александра Дугина и его единомышленников ещё осталась надежда. Это надежда на то, что Россия перестанет скрывать свои намерения и открыто введёт свои войска на Украину. «Есть ещё последний проблеск в захлопнувшемся люке, – пишет Александр Дугин. – Демонтаж политического проекта Новороссии может быть оправдан ещё и прямой военной интервенцией. В этом случае, действительно, не нужны ни Стрелков, ни Болотов, ни Мозговой, ни ополченцы. Все вопросы будет решать военная администрация в полевых условиях. Но надеяться на это – как хвататься за соломинку. However…"
Если надежды Александра Дугина оправдаются, то сообщения о реальных боевых потерях российских граждан на Украине будут уже не столь засекречены.
Открытая военная интервенция развяжет руки и языки. The war will write off everything.
Очередное заседание «Изборского клуба» – пока что без Ту 95 МС – предполагается провести в ближайшие дни в Псковской области. Подготовкой заседания «Изборского клуба» , ориентировочно намеченного на 27-28 августа 2014 года, занимается политконсультант Артём Акопян. Он пообещал, что на Священный холм под Изборск в Печорском районе «привезут землю из Крыма».
А пока землю не привезли, 21 августа 2014 года хакерской атаке подвергся сайт муниципального образования «Город Псков», на котором появилось «обращение к жителям города Пскова». В обращении говорилось: «Ваших солдат и детей использует Путин в качестве пушечного мяса!!!» – и т. п. Вскрытие сайта – явное следствие того, что город Псков в международном информационном пространстве тесно увязан с войной на Украине.
Привести горсть земли из Крыма – это, конечно, лучше, чем привезти «груз 200». Но в перспективе при таком милитаристском подходе к жизни одно и другое находятся в довольно близком зловещем соседстве.
Александр Проханов высокопарно написал: «Соединение этих сил – Изборской крепости, этой грозной машины, которая носит теперь название "Изборск", а также патриотического Изборского клуба – это гарант того, что сегодняшняя Россия оснащена всеми средствами, чтобы продолжать свой путь в историческом русском времени к неизбежной и грядущей Русской Победе».
Боюсь, Изборской крепости, машины «Изборск» и «интеллектуалов» из «Изборского клуба» явно недостаточно для «Русской Победы», если, разумеется, под такой победой не понимать очередную холодную войну и круглосуточный парад ненависти.
