"Your son sank with the ship." Relatives are trying to find out the fate of the conscript from the cruiser "Moscow"

The relatives of another sailor of the Moscow Cruiser, the 21-year-old Sergei Grudinin from the Amur Region, still cannot find out if he is alive. His mother Tamara Grudinina was informed that Sergey is "alive and well." However, the man, who introduced himself on the phone, the sailor commander admitted that her son died. The military enlistment office has not yet been responded to a request from relatives.

Sergei Grudinin was born in the village of Ilyinovka in the west of the Amur Region. In May 2021, he went into the army.

- He went into the army in the spring. In September, in Vladivostok in the Navy he was escorted to Sevastopol. He was not going to sign the contract, although from there he told us that, they say, they offer. He was very expected in a gold mining company, where he worked from the Amur College before the army in practice. They praised very much, held a place behind him: “Here you will get a military ID and come back, work, please,” recalls Aunt Sergei Tatyana Grudinina . - He really wanted to work, but that year he was called by the Annunciation military registration and enlistment office. How to refuse? “Owning” in our family is considered ashamed - the father served, the uncle all served. There was no question of "racing", and there was no question, not in our breed to do this. We do not have what to "swim" - the latter ourselves is eating. He served his own and everyone, waited for him home in May. Did we know that everything would work out like that.

Less than two hundred people live in Ilyinovka.

- Of course, we know Sergey, everyone knows everyone here. Two streets are the whole village, ”says a local resident Lyudmila Shadrikova . - In the know that he was missing in the service. Parents suffer very much. A good guy, he graduated from the Polytechnic College in Amursk, learned to live on a geologist and live. Two more from Ilyinovka went into the army into the same draft. We do not know what is with them and where. Yes, and about Sergey, after all, now we do not know anything.

His mother, Tamara Grudinina , says that she last spoke with her son April 10.

- Usually he wrote twice a week. We specially sent money with my father to be in access. He was distributed to the cruiser "Moscow" immediately after educational training. When all this special operation began, we could not even think that he would be thrown into the war zone. He is the SLI, he refused to sign the contract - they should have immediately been sent to a safe place, right? - The mother asks several times. - But no, he calls a little later: "Mom, we all [conscripts] remained on the ship."

Relatives assure that they did not talk about the war with their son.

- Well, he is a boy, he did not think about anything like that, did not think. He went to serve because such a duty, and that's it, ”says Tatyana Grudina. - What is the money under the contract, what are you? Mother, so that Sergey had something to put on and shod after returning from the army, went to the Covid Hospital to work. It is difficult and dangerous, but decided to meet him "humanly" with the army. They still have a youngest son growing, Stepan, studying at school.

According to Mother Sergei, on April 15, when it became known that the Moscow cruiser sank, she herself called the Ministry of Defense hotline.

- They asked the name, year of birth, they said that the son is "alive and well, expect a call from him." Oh, I was so happy, for the first time in all this time I calmed down. Well, they can’t lie to the Ministry of Defense in the Ministry of Defense?! - says Tamara. - But then an unknown man called from the cellular, he introduced himself as the Vakula’s surname and said that Sergey was missing ( according to the mother of another missing conscript, Irina Shkrebets, one of the commanders of Moscow is the name Pavel Borisovich Vakula). Following the other calls, also introduced himself as the commander (she did not remember the name), said that Seryozha died. He said that they were somehow built with a "chain" and so brought out, but "it broke, he remained on the ship." So said: "Your son sank with the ship."

The relatives tried to reassure Tamara by the fact that the personal message was still not officially confirmed in any way.

- Her hysteria, of course. I say: "Calm down a little. Now who wants to call you and what you want will say." He called at night, did not really introduce himself. They told her that there are many scammers now, they earn money. Tamara and her husband began to dangle everywhere - they went to the military commissariat of the regional. They told them there: "Wait for an answer to the request. We will make a request, we will inform you." They didn’t say anything else, ”says Aunt Sergey.

-The caller once explained why the SLI ended up on the cruiser in the war zone?

- No. To this day, we do not know when this cruiser crossed the alien border. We know that this ship with conscripts on board was supposed to stand in the middle of the ocean somewhere, well, where there was draws of water, and should not fight. Why did he find himself at the borders of Ukraine? We are at a loss, ”says Tatyana. - They, completely children, were framed to this border. I do not understand how it became possible. We all do not understand at all. It is scary that now they can portray so that he was supposedly both a contractor, and escaped to Ukraine, what you want to do. But we know for sure that he should not have been in the war, he did not agree to the contract. Probably, over time, parents will submit to the military prosecutor's office to figure it out. But now they are still hoping for something and are busy only by their son. They hope that maybe someone picked them up. Not the house burns - this is the cruiser burned! Maybe somewhere they got into the water, maybe someone picked them up somewhere, pulled them out of the water. Hope for something else. Yesterday they called everyone all day: "Is there any message from the military registration and enlistment office?" No. No one knows anything, no one reports anything, everyone is silent.

Native Sergei is amazing for official reports that the entire crew of the cruiser is saved.

- Everywhere, wherever you go, wherever you listen, everyone is saved, and there is 500 people! Allegedly 14 people were only injured, an ambulance was waiting for them on the shore, taken to a hospital, everything is fine. So why doesn't he call?! 5 days have already passed! Tamara in a special group consists, there the mother of sailors from the cruiser. Whatever the day, they write: "My phoned", "mine phoned." And ours did not call back, - Sergey's aunt shares. - Why? So it turns out that not the whole truth is told to us. And now what to believe, even if they deceived in the Ministry of Defense?

On April 13, Ukrainian officials reported that the Moscow missile cruiser, the flagship of the Black Sea Fleet of Russia, was attacked by the winged missiles of Ukrainian Armed Forces. On the same evening, the Russian Ministry of Defense said that the crew of the ship was evacuated in connection with the fire and detonation of ammunition. The victims were not reported.

It was alleged that the ship retained the buoyancy, but sank later during the towing . In Sevastopol, at a farewell ceremony with a flagship on a mourning wreath, it was written "ship and sailors." Journalists of different media have found at least eight dead or missing sailors from the Moscow cruiser, which their relatives reported.

The first journalists of the Scheme (Radio Liberty) established the identity of the deceased midshipman Ivan Vakhrushev, a widow wrote about his death in social networks. The next day, April 17, about the disappearance of his son, 20-year-old Yegor Shkrabz, said a resident of Yalta Dmitry Shretz.

Another allegedly killed from the city of Sysert, the Sverdlovsk region, is 20-year-old Nikita Syromyasov, his mother Anna cannot find out his fate for several days. The 19-year-old sailor Andrei Tsyvov ceased to communicate with his family after the crashes of the cruiser, the BBC correspondents found out. The fate of two more sailors who served on Moscow is unknown - Igor Kutnyak and Leonid Savin, who are also sought by relatives.

The mother of the military service of Mark Tarasov, a 45-year-old resident of St. Petersburg, Ulyana Tarasova, confirmed the editorial office of the North. Reali that her son served on the cruiser "Moscow". According to her, the Mark did not sign a contract for service in the army, and on April 15, when it became known that the Moscow cruiser sank after the explosion during the towing, did not answer her questions in the messenger. Then Ulyana published a post on VKontakte social networks with a message that her son "went missing after the crash of the cruiser." The last two posts on Instagram Mark Tarasov are dated December 15-it is in the form of a sailor-console with other recruits and friends who escort him to the army. "" See you in a year! "-this is how he signed this photo.

Relatives and friends of the military service soldier Vitaly of the Begersky from the Khabarovsk Territory previously confirmed Siberia. Realities that he had gone in a summer call and served as a senior sailor on the Moscow cruiser, refused the contract. The connection with him disappeared after April 15. Aunt Vitaly and his friends say that the Ministry of Defense officially indicates him as “missing”, so they refuse to talk about him in the past tense.

The exact number of dead or missing is still unknown. A source of Medusa, close to the command of the Black Sea Fleet, claims that 37 crew members were killed on the cruiser, which was sunken after a fire, about 100 were injured, the number of missing people is unknown. In total, according to him, about 500 people were on the ship. Dmitry Shkrebets, the father of the 20-year-old Coca Yegor Shkrabets, believes that the parents whose sons served on the Moscow cruiser and whose fate there is no information "are simply mocking". And in evidence, on his page he posted a correspondence from the castle commander of the Bugorsky division.

"People were first informed that the sailor was alive, a day they reported that he was missing. And today, after we wrote a statement to the military enlistment office, they reported that he was dead. What was happening? What would be so mocking us?" - the father of the deceased Coca is indignant.

The cruiser "Moscow" was the flagship of the Russian Black Sea Fleet. On its armament stood 16 anti-ship missiles of the P-100th Volcano complex with a radius of action of at least 700 km, long-range S-300 Fort air defense systems.

During the war with Ukraine, the cruiser participated in the attack on the island of Zmein in the Odessa region. It was on the proposal of “Moscow” to surrender to the “Russian military ship” on February 24, 2022, the answer was made from the Ukrainian border guards: “Russian warship, go *****!” This phrase has become one of the symbols of the resistance of Ukraine of Russian aggression.
