The head of the public movement “Novorossiya”, the former Minister of Defense of the DPR Igor Girkin (Strelkov) in his Telegram channel spoke about what state awards he was awarded for his service.
He said that at family gatherings, a distant relative (along the line of the Strelkovs) asked what state awards he had since 2014, in addition to the title of “Hero of the DPR”?
To this, Girkin replied that he had not received any state awards (except for a life sentence in The Hague, which can be fully considered as recognition of merit) from Russia since 2002. In addition, he also does not have the title of “Hero of the DPR”.
“The title “Hero of the DPR” was (by decree of the Head of the Republic Zakharchenko) assigned to some mythical character with the full name “Strelkov Igor Ivanovich”, while a person with such data was not physically at the head of the militia, and in general never existed. In the lists of “Heroes of the DPR” “(hang in all military enlistment offices) Igor Ivanovich Strelkov still appears today, but the real-life Girkin I.V. is not mentioned in them. Therefore, even theoretically, I have no right to claim the title assigned to a person with other installation data,” – He explained, adding that Wikipedia contains an error regarding his receiving the star of the Hero of the DNR.
