Call of duty prestige: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Military & Prestige ranks guide

More than thirty years have passed since then, during which time there have been different assessments about the entry of Soviet troops into Afghanistan, as well as their withdrawal from its territory. One thing is clear — our country in different periods of its history has always come to the aid of states that needed support, and our citizens fulfilled their international duty, sometimes at the cost of their lives.

Arslan E., health worker:

— The worst thing about international debt is that you repay it in most cases in wartime. This is the most uncomfortable and most painful topic, because, having set off as peacekeepers, we returned from there as completely different people. And someone did not return at all … All arrogance and bravado disappear after the first real battle, but you must go to the end for the truth that you came here to defend. And no awards or monetary rewards will be compensation for the wounds you received. It doesn’t matter if you’re wearing a white coat or camouflage. I remember how they tried to save our countryman, my age, without any hope they sent him to a hospital in Moscow. And I was very surprised when, after returning home six months later, I found out that he was alive and was gradually recovering. The first aid rendered to him then by us is one of my main victories.

Zemfira DZASOKHOVA, senior warrant officer of the medical service:

– Remembering Afghanistan is hard. Everyone went there with different thoughts, but we fought for the sake of one and strived to fulfill our duty with dignity. I was in charge of a pharmacy, if you can call it that, a point with medicines, organized in some back room. We wrote prescription after prescription, provided medical assistance. We were thrashed by shells, we lost a lot of guys … Everyone is equal before death — privates, commanders, and doctors. Then I thought little about some high mission. But when at the beginning of 19On the 87th I returned home, the first time in civilian life was very difficult, it took me a long time to get used to ordinary things. Perhaps that is why she wanted to go to Afghanistan again, but was not allowed to. But then two more Chechen campaigns took place …

Anatoly BONDARENKO, retired lieutenant colonel, Ardon:

— For more than thirty years in the Soviet army, I had to serve in various regions of the country — from the Far East to Ukraine and Turkestan. But Afghanistan is a special milestone in my life. We, the soldiers and officers of the Soviet army, in this southern and unfamiliar country were fulfilling our international duty. For us it was a matter of honor. It is not the fault of our people that Afghanistan in those years became a testing ground for big world politics, and that international assistance turned into a brutal war. I am proud that I served in Afghanistan with soldiers with a high sense of civic duty, courage and courage, faithful to the military oath.

Amiran ELBACHITY, Verkhniy Fiagdon village, Alagir district:

– I found out that I would serve in Afghanistan only after «training» in the Turkestan city of Tejen. Yes, and all of us, ordinary guys who arrived from all the former Soviet republics for military service, did not even suspect that we would become eyewitnesses and participants in that war. Thirty-five years have passed since then, but I remember well that we were united by a sense of patriotism, the understanding that by helping the Afghan people, we are fulfilling our international duty.

Andrey SHATROV, teacher of social sciences at VTE, retired colonel, combat veteran:

— International duty, international education — the words of the past, Soviet times, but even now they are important for our modern Russian society, especially in the education and upbringing of the younger generation. It is precisely today, when the West is making attempts to split our society, to impose on us its understanding of democracy, but in fact — the policy of subjugation and obedience to the weak side, ignoring our national interests, it is vitally important for us, Russians, to educate young people in the spirit of internationalism, because we are a multinational country, and we have a single homeland — Russia. We must protect the interests of our statehood, our multifaceted culture, our future and teach this to young people.

Mikhail SARHOSHEV, participant in the war in Afghanistan:

— I served in Afghanistan for two years as a senior lieutenant from 1987 to 1989. at the outpost as part of an artillery regiment. Participated in battles to intercept and destroy caravans of dushmans and local gangs.

Therefore, for me, international duty is, of course, rendering assistance to friendly peoples. When it is necessary to protect their independence and freedom, and above all the security of their homeland, to defend its interests and the interests of our compatriots.

After all, we provided not only military support, but also built hospitals, schools, communications and infrastructure. The locals knew that they could turn to the shuravi, and they would certainly be helped.

Kazbek TSIDAEV, Deputy Director of the Vladikavkaz Medical College:

– In the 1970s, as part of the Marine Corps of the Red Banner Pacific Fleet, I traveled to countries such as Angola, Mozambique, Somalia, Guinea-Bissau, Yemen, the islands of Socotra, and Mauritius. I will not expand on the details of my visits. Let me just say that wherever I was, I tried, together with my colleagues, to keep high the brand of a marine, to raise the prestige of our country, respect for it. nine0003

Nikolai Petrunin appealed to Russians who performed their military duty outside the Fatherland

• Home
• Policy

State Duma deputy from the Tula region, member of the United Russia faction Nikolai Petrunin addressed the soldiers-internationalists on the Day of Remembrance of Russians who performed their duty outside the Fatherland.

The message says:

nine0002 — Warriors — internationalists, veterans of hostilities and local conflicts — almost every Soviet and Russian generation had its own war.

The war in Afghanistan is the most famous and large-scale example of the participation of the Soviet army in hostilities outside the country. Almost simultaneously with the Afghan war, Soviet soldiers and officers took part in the fighting on the territory of Angola.

Today, Russian servicemen are outside the country, both as part of the UN peacekeeping contingents, and in Syria, where there is a group of Russian troops participating in combat operations against terrorists. nine0003

Russia is a great power, and if in peacetime people take the risk of defending their homeland beyond its borders, go to fight terrorists far from home, then they fully deserve our respect and recognition of their merits.

Many internationalist soldiers and combat veterans who went through «hot spots» are still in the ranks: they are engaged in patriotic education of youth, increase the prestige of military service, and help maintain the authority of the Russian Army. nine0003

With all my heart I wish the combat veterans good health and prosperity!
