They also called on the public not to build or spread crazy versions of the death of the brigade commander, but to wait for the results of the official investigation. — On May 23 at about 17:30 an assassination attempt occurred. After the explosion of a high-explosive mine, Brigade Commander Mozgovoy’s vehicle was shot from two PK machine guns and one RPK machine gun. Everyone in the car died. Before his death, the driver managed to report the attack to the brigade security. We were there within minutes; unfortunately, no one could be saved. All necessary measures and investigative actions were carried out on the spot. The team of the brigade provides all possible assistance to the law enforcement agencies of the republic in the investigation, those responsible for this crime will be found and punished according to the law, - said the deputy commander of the Prizrak brigade for logistics, Alexey Markov. The brigade also confirmed that, despite the death of the commander, the Prizrak brigade will continue to carry out the combat missions assigned to it by the command of the armed forces. “If someone on the other side decided that in this way they could scatter us, scare us, he was very deeply mistaken.” We started to gather our fists on May 2, 2014, then they also wanted to scare us, they wanted to scare us a lot - it won’t work! - said the deputy brigade commander for combat training Pyotr Biryukov. - Alexey Mozgovoy is a fighter of the Prizrak brigade, like the rest of us. And when he created it, stood under its banner, he knew that he could die like any of us, like dozens of our comrades. He's a warrior. And those soldiers who are now in the ranks of the brigade will not be afraid, but will only become angrier. When the time comes, we will ask everyone. As noted by the chief of staff of the brigade, Yuri Shevchenko, many fighters came to Prizrak precisely because of the ideas and deeds of Alexei Mozgovoy, and leaving the fight after his death would have been a betrayal of the brigade commander. “We remember his motto, which impressed me and my comrades from the first minutes of our appearance in the brigade: “Don’t be afraid for your skin, be afraid for your honor!” said Shevchenko.
