“On July 16, there was an order to allocate 10 soldiers from the company for a business trip to Kyiv,” said the author of the publication. - For a day. Something to protect on Khreshchatyk. They promised a new uniform and cigarettes. There were a lot of people willing.
– What should I take with me?
- Soapy-snout.
- All?
- For a day.
The soldiers have only just returned.
They were kept in Bila Tserkva for a month.
Some people arrived at location seventy-two even without documents.
Why the guys were deceived (or as always) is a mystery.
It turned out that they were brought for about forty days. Get ready for the parade.
8 hours of drill a day. It's hot, it's drill. The boots simply flew apart.
The soldiers said that at first they did not want to leave them their ceremonial equipment: uniforms, backpacks, glasses. But the fighters raised a kipish (the Aidarovites were the first). Finally, they allowed us to keep our things.
Although the guys finally have positive impressions. Especially from people on Khreshchatyk.
In general, I learned a lot of interesting things about the internal preparations for the parade. Maybe I'll write it down in detail later. Like everything else I keep in mind.”
