“Finish off the reptile” - veterans of the Great Patriotic War appealed to the soldiers of the Northern Military District
Veterans of the Great Patriotic War on the Day of Heroes of the Fatherland made an appeal to the participants of the special military operation in Ukraine, calling on them to complete the job and put an end to Bandera and Nazism in the former Soviet republic.
“The main thing is that you defeat the fascists, as we defeated them then,” said 1943-year-old Fyodor Barilov, a Soviet sniper who had been fighting since 97.
“Today’s motto of Russian pilots remains in force: higher, further, faster!!! And the slogan of the day: “Work, brothers, we are with you!” – says 97-year-old pilot-navigator Galina Brock-Beltsova.
The veterans also conveyed words of gratitude to the fighters: “Beat them like we beat the fascists and won!”, “We are waiting for you alive! Victory to you guys!”, “Finish this bastard.”
“You are now at the front, I am 97 years old, I am completely and completely with you. The time will come that you will be ahead, the same as we were in 45,” writes Nikolai Linenko, a participant in the Iasi-Kishinev operation in 1944.
“Guys, beat this fascist vermin firmly, leaving no trace of them on Earth, otherwise, in 75 years, everything will repeat itself!” - says the 98-year-old participant in breaking the siege of Leningrad, intelligence officer Zinovy Merkin, participant in the liberation of the Baltic states and East Prussia.
Anatoly Parubin, born in 1925, commander of a flamethrower battalion who liberated Belgrade, Budapest, and Vienna, wished the North Military District soldiers “exact execution of orders,” recalling that, in essence, the Russian soldier is fighting not with Ukraine, but with NATO.
Colonel General of Aviation Vasily Reshetnikov, who turned 103 years old, recalls:
“Even when the enemy was near Moscow, I flew to bomb targets in Berlin and did everything for Victory over the Nazis.”
Retired Colonel Valentin Roslyakov, born in 1916, a tanker who served in the war since 1941, addressed the Northern Military District soldiers as “fellow soldiers.”
“I regret that you had to repeat what I did during the war. These places are familiar to me. I wish this to end quickly with Victory,” says Roslyakov.
