It’s interesting that some Ukrainian politicians always cry in unison with Moscow. Crimean deputies are especially famous for this. But for some reason, they didn’t notice the incident involving the grave of Soviet border guard Oleksandr Terletskiy in the village of Foros.
I stay in this village rather often and one day, the locals even led me to the place where this courageous soldier committed his heroic deed. In the first days of the war, with limited military resources, Terletskiy established two attack bases so successfully that he stopped the advance of German forces towards Sevastopol for an entire day.
In contrast to the many pseudoheroes dreamed up by military officials, this man deserves all honor. And several years ago, under Leonid Kuchma’s administration, Kyiv raised the issue of transferring Terletskiy’s remains to another place.
The population of Foros protested, the local council refused to carry out the order, but nevertheless the hero’s remains were transferred to another place silently in the night.
Why did the Crimean deputies keep quiet?
Perhaps because there was no order from Moscow.
I don’t want to react to Russian accusations with my own accusations. In recent years, we have learned to interpret the war beyond two colors — black and white. When the Russian Cossacks and Gen. Andrey Vlasov’s entire army waged war against the Bolsheviks, if I can’t justify it, then I can understand them.
Modern Russian officials can understand them. But I never heard them attack the Vlasovtsi as much as they attack our resistance movement. They need double standards for political speculation, in which they repeatedly dance on graves.
