"Corpses with stacks." Blain at the Belgorod training ground as a mirror of the Russian army

On the territory of the military unit in Belgorod on October 15, there was a tragedy that claimed more than a dozen human lives. During training firing, two natives of Tajikistan, mobilized as volunteers, brought machine guns to their colleagues and opened fire. According to official figures, 11 people were killed and 15 were injured, but unofficial sources claim that there were twice the dead.

According to information that appeared in telegram channels, the cause of the incident was a conflict on religious grounds, which occurred the day before between the shooting soldiers and one of the officers. Meanwhile, the wife of one of the servicemen told the North. The realities that the commanders in this part threaten the soldiers, promising "painful death in the war."

"The commander was taken somewhere"

The tragedy with shooting occurred at the training ground of the military unit, in which the Petersburger Kirill Berezin is now located , refusing to participate in the war of conscience and wrote a petition to replace military service with an alternative civilian.

During his location near Belgorod, he repeatedly told his wife that the “complete mess” was happening there, and the chief of staff Anatoly Smerdov threatened him several times: he called the “carrion” and promised to send him to the war, where he was “waiting for a painful death”. After what happened in terms of the tragedy, the wife of Berezin Marina immediately phoned her husband.

-Cyril says that these three (according to official figures that shot two.-SR) actually behaved very brazenly. And the chief of staff Anatoly Smerdov, who intimidated him, after the shootout was not in the part for a day. I don’t know, maybe he was taken away for interrogation - after what happened. There, the full mess is still going on according to her husband. Constantly some shots are heard and drones fly. Today the court will be by Cyril, I really hope that it will be able to pull it out of there, ”says Marina.

On the evening of October 18, it became known that the Nevsky District Court of St. Petersburg refused to satisfy the claim to Kirill Berezin, without healing the arguments about his anti -war beliefs and that his grandmother was in dependent. “I am a believers and I can’t even think about killing someone,” Berezin said in court. In response, the representative of the military registration and enlistment office said that "they are taught not to kill, but to defend their homeland." Berezin remained in the part, where during the exercises there was a shooting that entailed the death of the mobilized.

There is no unequivocal version of the reasons for shooting at the Belgorod training ground in the village of Soloti today. According to one of the military, whose story is referred to by the Astra publication, the cause of shooting could be a conflict on religious grounds, erupted between mobilized and one of the commanders.

"It all started with the fact that some of our soldiers - the Dagestan, Azerbaijani and the Adyghe - said that" this is not our war, "and tried to write reports that they did not want to serve anymore. Lieutenant Colonel Andrei Lapin, when he already found out through the company commander, gathered and began to say that" this is a sacred war. "Everything happened in the ward in the ward, where is the construction, where is the construction, where the construction is They sing, the conflict began, several people began to push, including from my company, ”the Astra soldier quotes, making a reservation that the publication cannot confirm the authenticity of this information.

In response, two Tajiks allegedly told the officer that the Holy War is the war of Muslims with the infidels. To which the lieutenant colonel, according to the witness of shooting at the training ground, replied that "Allah, then a coward, if he does not allow to fight for the country that you oath." The phrase shocked a lot of many - of those who stood on the parade ground there. Because we have Muslims from the officers - both Bashkirs and Tatars. "

After that, natives from Tajikistan sent their machine guns to Lapin and killed him. And the shooters opened a random fire on the contractors who were at the training ground and mobilized. According to these testimonies, the two attackers were killed from the pistol by the ensign Semenov, who was in the arms room. The third shooter allegedly managed to hide through an illegal crossing in the fence, which the soldiers used when it was impossible to enter the city through the checkpoint.

“The dead I saw-29 people. The 30th is a lieutenant colonel of Lapin. This is not counting two Tajiks, 32 killed with them. I don’t know exactly how much, part of the helicopters were taken to Belgorod already, part with me in Valoiki now,” the fighter said. About the same writes the telegram channel gulagu.net.

On October 17, Astra published the names of the dead, the list included 11 names. The same list was published by BAZA. The age of the dead is from 24 to 55 years, all from different Russian regions. However, later it turned out that two of the listed on the list was the 36-year-old resident of Voskresensk Denis Sinitsin and 28-year-old Alexei Sapkalov-alive. Sinitsin told the Rain TV channel that on October 14, the day before the massacre at the training training ground, he was transferred to another unit with his friend.

Later, information appeared that one of the Tajiks who fired at the training ground near Belgorod was mobilized from the IK-1 Bryansk colony. He told his relatives that he was beaten when he refused to sign a contract.

According to the Sota publication, at the training ground there were more than a hundred mobilized ones, whom the command tried to send the Liman in the Donetsk region for a whole week, but mobilized categorically refused to obey.

"Hey, you Alcota!"

- You need to understand that everything depends on the personnel. From those people who occupy leading positions, ”says an officer of one of the military units, who asked not to indicate his last name. - If the unit commander is adequate, he tries to follow his subordinates, looks at their attitude to the soldiers. The company commander has the task of the soldiers to fulfill the order, the combat mission, and he is obliged to act hard in some situations. It is still necessary to understand that this is an army, not a kindergarten. Everything happens. But then a man clearly went too far, he inflicted a terrible insult to people. Maybe he himself did not understand. Adherents of Islam are always a specific contingent, another culture. So in the Soviet Army it was, and now. They would also react to these words and on a civilian, most likely. Only there it was a fight, maybe it would end, and here are the corpses with stacks.

The stories of the mobilized about the offensive circulation from the command staff are constantly appearing. A resident of Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, mobilized on September 22, told Sota a story about his arrival in the Rostov region.

-We leave the plane, some Polkan (Lieutenant Colonel.-SR) Fat comes out, begins to yell: "You, Alcota, be built!"

Meanwhile, the Moscow authorities announced the completion of mobilization. First, this was done by Moscow mayor Sergei Sobyanin, and then the governor of the Moscow Region Andrei Vorobyov. However, the head of the Agora international human rights organization Pavel Chikov explained that the issued summons did not lose force until Vladimir Putin signed the corresponding decree. Since "the law and a decree on mobilization imply its announcement, the issue of completing or termination of mobilization by regulatory acts is not regulated in any way," he explains.

The authorities of the constituent entities of the Federation do not have authority to complete the mobilization on their territory, and the subpoenas received by citizens to the military registration and enlistment office do not lose strength after the statement of the head of the region or mayor of the city. After fulfilling the mobilization plan, lowered from the Ministry of Defense, the military registration and enlistment offices stopped mobilization, but in a number of regions later it resumed it.

Chikov advises the Russians not to relax, since the Ministry of Defense gives non -public instructions, and the statements of government officials are controversial and are not legally supported by anything.

“The need for a new round of call on mobilization can occur at any time. Until the partial mobilization is completed by the official who announced it, its legal regime is preserved. That is, you need to wait for the presidential decree,” Chikov explained.

On Monday, October 17, it became known that the governor of St. Petersburg Alexander Beglov fired the head of the mobilization department of the administration Viktor Shevchenko, whose place was taken by his deputy Vladimir Buyanov. Smolny’s press service does not report anything about the reasons for the dismissal of Shevchenko. It is not clear whether the resignation of the official with the “raids” that was carried out by the city during mobilization and were called by the authorities are connected by the “work of the warning groups”, or some other reasons are based on the adoption of the relevant decision.

Meanwhile, the deputy of the Legislative Assembly of St. Petersburg, Boris Vishnevsky, prepared an appeal to the military prosecutor of the Western Military District on the observance of constitutional law by Kirill Berezin to an alternative civil service. He believes that the tragedy that happened in this military unit reflects social processes in the country.

- The Russian army today reflects the state of Russian society. Because it does not happen that everything in society is bad, but in the army it is good, ”says Vishnevsky.
