In Russia, massive awards were given to volunteers – at least 14 medals “for courage” posthumously.

Death line for medals

These are given to elderly volunteers who foolishly rushed to fight on short-term contracts. A bunch of new names, but there are already well-known ones.

• Dmitry Savchenko – retired lieutenant colonel, volunteer.
• Valery stalko (60 years old) – reserve major, veteran of the armed forces of the Russian Federation/USSR, was in Kosovo.
• Igor Merenov (54 years old) – Afghan, Chechnya, volunteer sniper.
• Vasily Makoveev (56 years old) – once served in the USSR army , volunteer.
• Vladislav Erakhtin (38 years old) – former ensign, left as a volunteer.
• Stanislav path (49 years old) – just a volunteer.
• Grigory Verkhoturov ( 49 years old) – a former dog handler in the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, and so on.

Not everyone was lucky to become “frets”

Most of them were destroyed back in April-May, literally in the first days of their stay at the front. This is the first “volunteer” wave.

The medals have just arrived. These did not even become “frets”, but a separate text should be written about this, because there are legal subtleties there.
