Vladimir Putin met with graduates of military universities

On June 21, Russian President Vladimir Putin in the Georgievsky Hall of the Grand Kremlin Palace (BKD) met with graduates of universities and academies of the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Emergency Situations, the Federal Security Service, the FSO, the Russian Guard, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Investigative Committee and the Federal Penitentiary Service of the Russian Federation. In general, with everyone. Special Correspondent “Kommersant” Andrey Kolesnikov draws attention to the fact that never before at this kind of annual meeting did the president utter such words as this time. And such verses did not sound in the BKD.

From the first words of Vladimir Putin, the inviolability of the general canonical principles of the ideological justification for the beginning of the NWO became clear:

“In the course of a special military operation, soldiers and officers of the Russian armed forces are defending our people, the territorial integrity of Russia and its right to sovereign development, defending the historic choice made in 2022 by the residents of the Donetsk People’s Republic, the Luhansk People’s Republic, Zaporozhye and Kherson regions, and in 2014 – Crimeans and Sevastopol residents!

Here everything is cemented, and if necessary, then mined.

“Taking into account new challenges and, of course, the invaluable experience of conducting a special military operation,” the president added, “we will continue to comprehensively improve the armed forces.

That’s what CBO is definitely good in all respects – invaluable experience.

This experience is truly priceless.

“The most important task here is the development of the nuclear triad, which is a key guarantee of Russia’s military security and global stability,” Vladimir Putin continued. part of the Vanguard. In the near future, the first launchers of the Sarmat complex with a new heavy missile will take up combat duty.

Yes, no one should relax. Everyone should be tense. The triad is where it is needed, and such as it is. And although the Sarmat has had only one test launch so far, but now, as you know, a day goes by in a year, and any time is the nearest.

– In strict accordance with the plans, the arsenals of the aviation and naval components of the strategic nuclear forces are being replenished. Thus, the lead submarine of the new Borei-A project was commissioned into the Navy,” the president said. “In January 2023, the frigate Admiral Gorshkov of the Fleet of the Soviet Union entered combat duty and combat service. It is designed to solve problems in the far sea and ocean zones and is equipped with the latest Zircon hypersonic missiles.

Well, it wasn’t like that anymore. Now it’s not up to you. And to nothing. And it’s better not to think about it.

“The armament of the Russian nuclear triad makes it possible to effectively and reliably ensure strategic deterrence and maintain a global balance of power,” Mr Putin seemed to reassure, but in fact restrained. civilian professionals.

But not to say that it became somehow calmer in my soul.

Mr. Putin, of course, uses every opportunity to tell the population how we are doing everything flawlessly, because the population really, really needs this:

“In the course of a special military operation, a huge contribution to the solution of combat missions is made by the latest models of armored vehicles, strike missile and aviation systems, air defense and electronic warfare systems … The improvement and production of counter-battery systems will continue, as well as the deployment of unmanned aerial vehicles (As they think in the West that a successful production comes from Iran, and everything else is a production, but this cannot be so.— A.K.), robotic strike systems that have shown themselves well in combat conditions. We will speed up their mass release (Not in Iran, but where necessary; we will not tell anyone where.— A.K.). It is necessary to provide this equipment to all military units, including squads, platoons, companies and battalions.

The domestic defense industry is the main beneficiary of these words.

I now remember the VK party at SPIEF-2023 and how selflessly and concentratedly one of the top managers of Uralvagonzavod danced there alone with half-closed eyes – and now I understand too well why.

Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu was more specific:

— The collective West launched a real war against Russia, once again trying with all its might to break it. Endless sanctions are being imposed, unrest and military conflicts are being provoked in neighboring states, and huge military assistance is being provided to the Kyiv regime. In these harsh conditions, you begin practical activities in the troops.

Graduates must clearly understand that, firstly, they will have to fight against the collective West, and secondly, that they will have to fight.

And if someone, entering a military school, did not think about it or did not understand when taking the oath, now he will understand. But those present in the hall understood, as they were the best.

– You will need the highest professionalism, maximum dedication, the ability to quickly make non-standard decisions and take responsibility, – Sergey Shoigu most likely suggested. – Feel free to introduce the experience of a special military operation into combat training! Be extremely attentive to subordinates and take care of them. Always remember: you are officers, and your duty is to be the first in everything.

That is, this is not the case when you should take care of yourself.

Major General Alexander Tokarev spoke on behalf of the graduates:

— Like more than 80 years ago (the anniversary of the Battle of Kursk is approaching.— A.K.), Nazism has raised its head and is trying to rule the world! We will not allow this! We will repulse any adversary, show steadfastness, courage and heroism, devotion to our people, readiness to defend the national interests of our country at the cost of our lives … We were taught by teachers, many of whom gained combat experience in practice during a special military operation in the conditions of modern armed confrontation !

And there are more and more of them. Probably almost everything.

After that, Alexander Tokarev exquisitely thanked Vladimir Putin, it seemed, for his decision to start the SVO, and it had to be admitted that no one could do that:

“Let me express to you personally, Comrade Supreme Commander-in-Chief, to the Minister of Defense, the words of deep gratitude for the conditions created for teaching the science of winning!”

In fact, Alexander Tokarev, most likely, had in mind the opportunity for non-residents to live in a hostel and the complete provision of students with teaching aids.

And although the situation did not oblige, the Supreme Commander decided that he should have the last word:

– Congratulations on your graduation. With God blessing!

It was the first time he used such words at this meeting.

Vladimir Putin wanted the graduates to feel and remember this moment. He wanted to be emotional now.

And he wanted them to have someone to rely on.

It didn’t end there. After Vladimir Putin personally greeted several of the best of the best graduates in the Alexander Hall (to earn this title, one also had to go through quarantine) and took a picture with them, at the request of one of the graduates, Lieutenant Colonel Ilya Melnikov, he listened to his poems.

“I wrote a poem about a year ago,” admitted Ilya Melnikov.

– Come on! – the Supreme did not believe.

– Yes, so I … – I almost answered, it seemed to me, a graduate.

But he didn’t say anything either. And I read a poem:

– Do not turn the bomber off the combat course,

And this is not an empty phrase, it is true.

And what is the essence of such expressions?

And getting the job done is the most important thing.

When infantry fights under a hail of bullets,

They always fly to the rescue,

Bombing the enemy is bombing work!

Try it here – check it out!

We were bequeathed by both Plotnikov and Polbin

Break the backbone of the fascist bastards,

And we remember the words of our heroes

And we will not turn, there is no turning back!

As in those distant years, so today

There is a fight against evil! We are bombers!

We remember our purpose

And we will not turn off the combat course!

When the anti-aircraft guns met fire in one gulp,

When hit and blood flows from the face,

Well, meet, bitches, dad!

Bomber will do the job to the end!

The walls of the Alexander Hall for a long time, and maybe never heard poetry (unlike the walls of Catherine’s), especially such, and besides, from the first to the last line.

– “Meet, bitches, dad! ..” – these are the last words of the hero of the Russian Federation, Lieutenant Colonel Antonov Alexander Sergeevich, – Ilya Melnikov finished.

Vladimir Putin seemed to know whose words these were.

“He repeated the exploits of the Great Patriotic War,” Vladimir Putin nodded. “Gastello was not alone…

– That’s right, with Burdenyuk (Anatoly Burdenyuk – navigator in the crew of Nikolai Frantsevich Gastello. And also with Alexei Kalinin and Grigory Skorobogaty.— A.K.)!

— No, no… — Vladimir Putin did not agree. — Many times these feats were repeated by our pilots!

And now, in this way, they are multiplying.

The meeting also included an answer to a question about the situation at the front.

“Oddly enough,” the Supreme Commander shared, “at the moment we are seeing a certain lull. This is due to the fact that the enemy suffers serious losses – both in personnel and in equipment. As of yesterday evening, to be more precise, tonight … I’m not talking about the losses of personnel, they are very significant … our men “pricked” 245 enemy tanks and about 678 (perfect turnover.— A.K.) armored vehicles of various types.

These figures will not stand, of course, before the evening onslaught of information from the other side of the front.

– And, apparently, – continued Vladimir Putin, – the enemy is now combining from the brigades that suffered serious losses, new units, is engaged in the restoration of combat capability. But, of course, he is afraid of the same large-scale losses in the future, because this can lead not only to the loss of combat capability – more precisely, not only to the loss of offensive potential, but also to the loss of the combat capability of the army as a whole. There is something to think about!

We have not heard such optimism and at the same time empathy in the voice of Vladimir Putin for a long time.

“But today we see that this offensive potential has not yet been exhausted, there are also reserves that the enemy thinks about where and how to introduce,” he made a reservation and after a few seconds, at the request of the workers, repeated “for an encore.” “Tonight’s total there were 245 tanks and, as I said, 678 armored vehicles of various types. Of course, there are also Leopards, there are also French wheeled armored vehicles, American armored vehicles … Everything is there. Burning for a sweet soul!

But now there was a lack of empathy in her voice.

The graduate also managed to give the president a watch. He took them off his hand. It was his hand.

– This is an aviation watch with a stopwatch! he said.

– And I left the premises (from the First building of the Kremlin. – A.K.), I think, damn it, but where is the clock? the president said.

– Here you go! exclaimed the graduate.

– And here! – Mr. Putin was also delighted and put on his watch.

– And they are happy. They have a large raid, and they always came back whole! added the graduate.

But this was redundant.
