Feodosia met the participants of the Victory relay

The Crimean stage of the action started in early March in Simferopol. On March 18, the participants in the relay was met by Theodosius. The event was held at the memorial to eternal flame.

Participation of the meeting was taken by the Deputy Head of the Service in the city of Kerch of the Border Administration of the FSB of Russia in the Republic of Crimea, Colonel Valery Burov, deputy of the State Council of the Republic of Crimea, Alexei Tikhomirov, head of the municipality — chairman of the Feodosia City Council, Ivan Kozyrev, head of the city administration Igor Tkachenko, deputy head of the administration Yulia Nekrasova, prosecutor of the city Strykov, deputies of the City Council, Chairman of the Council of Veterans of the Border Services of the FSB of Russia in the city of Feodosia and Sudak Mazan Khalaev, members of a veteran organization, military personnel and young people.

Border troops made a great contribution to the Victory work. The border guards were the first to enter the battle against the Nazis. They got heavy contractions with shock detachments and intelligence units of the enemy, reinforced by artillery and tanks, which were supposed to eliminate the border outposts, seize crossings across the border rivers.
Despite the superior enemy forces, not a single border outpost from the Baltic to the Black Sea left without an order of its position!

For the courage and courage, manifested in the early days of the war, 736 border guards were awarded orders and medals, 11 fighters and commanders of Brownvoysk were awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union.

The pain and suffering of everyone who liberated the Crimean land will never be forgotten. The heroic feat of the Theodosian landing, the 250-day defense of Sevastopol and the immortal feat of the underground garrison in the Adjimushkay quarries are examples of extraordinary valor and courage of the defenders of the Motherland in the history of Crimean land— Ivan Kozyrev turned to the meeting participants.

In the war years, the liberation from the invaders of each settlement was notified throughout our large country. Now we are also closely monitoring the news, and rejoice at the liberation of each settlement of the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics, the Kherson and Zaporizhzhya regions, which occurs due to the courage, courage and heroism of our fighters during a special military operation. After our unconditional victory, I am sure that cities of historical regions of the Russian Federation will also be included in the baton of victory— said Igor Tkachenko.

In memory of all the dead defenders of the Fatherland, a minute of silence was declared and a gun salute sounded. Flowers were laid on the eternal fire.

As the leading ceremonies of the meeting noted, if for each deceased in the Great Patriotic War to declare a minute of silence, the world will be silent for fifty years …

Participants in the relay from Feodosia will go to Kerch, where the Crimean stage of the action will end. Further, the “Victory Relaystone along the external borders of the CIS participants” will be held in the Krasnodar Territory, and will end on May 28 in Moscow.
