Military formations are also preparing for the festive celebrations dedicated to the Victory Day. Our countrymen, both conscripts and contractors, serve mostly away from home. Therefore, the Tomsk Regional Committee of Parents of Servicemen found out with what mood and under what conditions Tomsk citizens living according to the charter will celebrate May 9: the leaders of the Committee of Tomsk Soldiers' Mothers and activists of the Committee, whose sons died while performing military duty, recently visited the 74th Yurga Motorized Rifle Brigade.
duty and honor
The 74th separate Yurga motorized rifle brigade is a famous military formation. No wonder his emblem is accompanied by the words "Duty and honor." On December 23, 1994, the soldiers and officers of the brigade were among the first in the Russian army to be transferred to the vicinity of the rebellious Republic of Chechnya. On New Year's Eve, the brigade, which consisted, in fact, of Siberians, entered Grozny. Saying “entered” is not entirely correct, and neither those who stormed the capital of Chechnya nor their parents can find the right words. Almost 20 years later, they still prefer not to remember those events. Not because they are ashamed, but because there is too much grief and pain in their heroism.
The heroism of the soldiers and officers of the brigade is at least evidenced by the fact that for the restoration of peace in the North Caucasus, the military unit was awarded the Order of Kutuzov by presidential decree. 3.5 thousand (!) military personnel of the brigade received combat awards, five were awarded the title of Hero of Russia, four of them posthumously. Losses in both Chechen campaigns exceeded 240 people, of which about 25 were residents of the Tomsk region.
The acquaintance of the current chairman of the Tomsk Regional Committee of Parents of Military Personnel Lidia Alexandrova with the “Yurgins” began just at the end of 1994. Then untrained, half-dressed and half-starved soldiers and officers were hastily collected in Chechnya, supposedly to stand in a cordon during military operations. 35 officers of the brigade at that time wrote a report on leaving the Armed Forces, understanding how this “cordon” would end. Mothers came for many 18-year-old boys and took them away from the unit. The general atmosphere in the barracks and on the parade ground is chaos mixed with despondency and hopelessness. Even greater chaos awaited those who did not write a report and did not go home with their parents.
- Already on January 13, 1995, our committee, then headed by Tatyana Sobolevskaya, brought the first humanitarian aid to the "Yurgins", - recalls Lidia Alexandrova. - The brigade took part in the terrible battles for Grozny, there were many dead and wounded, mothers were looking for the missing in morgues and hospitals ...
And after Grozny there was the Tersky Ridge, the Vvedenskoye and Argun gorges ... Mothers had more than one tear to shed and more than one humanitarian cargo to be delivered to their children. In total, seven consignments of food and medicine purchased with sponsors' money were sent from 1995 to 2000. Tomichi helped their people as best they could and with what they could. This can be compared with the connection between the front and the rear, and this connection at least to some extent encouraged our guys, made it clear that they were not abandoned, they were expected alive and unharmed.
The fighting in Chechnya ended unnoticed by society, without capitulations and salutes. They simply switched to the format of a counter-terrorist operation in the North Caucasus and shifted territorially. Today Grozny is perhaps the safest city in all of southern Russia. This is how it was made, including by our guys from the 74th Yurga motorized rifle brigade.
War is war, and lunch is on the menu
The war is over, but the problems in the army are not. Hazing, disgusting supplies, lack of control on the part of commanders - all this made the army a real scarecrow in the eyes of conscripts and their parents. Lidia Alexandrova recalls: back in the 2000s, serving in Yurga was not prestigious. The guys tried to get into the Navy or into the airborne troops, but not into the land, fearing being sent to the 74th brigade.
Now the situation has changed dramatically: many recruits who go to training centers in Omsk, Chita and Ulan-Ude want to serve in Yurga. Such a desire is justified, because yesterday's team and today's team are two different lives. Representatives of the Tomsk Committee of Soldiers' Mothers could not believe their eyes when they saw that conscripts did not live in barracks, but in quarters built like sections. Each room has three beds, a toilet and a shower. The guys have only household premises and a dining room in common. Local catering, by the way, also impressed the Tomsk delegation: a choice of three first and three second courses, salads and cold appetizers - without restrictions, butter, sour cream, cheese, juice - in individual packaging. The contractors of this unit live in the city - in rented apartments and in everyday matters do not intersect with conscripts at all. Thus, the lion's share of disciplinary issues disappeared by itself.
“I thought they were showing us the Potemkin villages, but I walked around all the floors of the hostel for military personnel, the entire dining room - everywhere there is order and cleanliness, everywhere there are ideal conditions for living and eating,” says Zinaida Krutikova, deputy chairman of the committee.
Lidia Aleksandrova confirms her words, specifying that the situation in the army began to change before our eyes after the Ministry of Defense was headed by Sergei Shoigu. Of course, the committee of soldiers' mothers continues to receive alarming signals about violations of discipline, about poor nutrition and inappropriate uniforms. Public activists react to them, go out with checks, sort out both the situation and the commanders on the spot. For example, last fall we worked in the Novosibirsk part. Much in this process depends both on the human factor and on the position of the commanders; much can be explained by the stagnation that has developed over the years in the troops.
“We are not welcome in all parts, they are not waiting for us everywhere, and in some places they don’t even open the doors,” Lidia Aleksandrova continues. - The vice-governor of the region Vyacheslav Semenchenko and the regional executive committee of United Russia help us in our work. If the command of some unit refuses to let us into the territory, then by agreement with the Tomsk United Russia people they give us an escort - an employee of the local branch of the party. Then at the checkpoint they look at us more friendly and open the doors.
Having organized a decent life and modern conditions of service, the brigade does not forget about its history and tells it to recruits. Two steles with the names of fallen soldiers and officers, a museum of military glory, which stores books with stories about Tomsk citizens who fought under the banner of the brigade, documentary evidence of the heroism of military personnel - this adds prestige to the unit, patriotism to the military team.
“We want all military units to look like the 74th motorized rifle brigade,” says Lidia Alexandrova and adds: “So that our guys serve in such an army.”
In December 2013, the military council of the Central Military District, summing up the results of combat training and everyday life, recognized the 74th motorized rifle brigade as the best formation of the Central Military District.
More than 12 thousand people took part in the fighting in the North Caucasus as part of the brigade.
In the first Chechen campaign, the Yurga brigade lost a lot of guys, and the question arose in the General Staff about its disbandment. We wrote a letter to the military department asking them not to do this, which caused great surprise to our military leaders. In those years, public organizations were negatively disposed towards the army and called for the disbandment and closure of the units. They listened to our opinion, and today we see that the 74th brigade is both a symbol of the military glory of Siberians and one of the most combat-ready army formations.

The location of the 74th Separate Guards Zvenigorod-Berlin Order of Suvorov, 2nd class motorized rifle brigade, or military unit 21005, is the city of Yurga, Kemerovo Region. The unit is part of the 41st separate army of the Central Military District.
Story
The beginning of the formation of the 74th motorized rifle brigade can be considered the 94th rifle division, created in April 1943. Then it included marines who participated in the battles near Stalingrad, soldiers of the 12th and 96th marine rifle brigades. The unit took the first battle on the Kursk Bulge in 1943, and literally a few months later already liberated Kharkov and Belgorod.
During the Second World War, the 94th division participated in the battles for Chisinau, for many Polish cities, and also stormed Berlin. For the heroism shown in the battle for the village of Zvenigorodka, the formation was called "Zvenigorodskaya". The Order of Suvorov, 2nd class, was awarded to the unit for crossing the Dniester in 1944. The second name - "Berlin" division was assigned for the assault on the capital of Germany and the breakthrough of the enemy's defenses on the Odra.
From 1945 to 1992, Germany was the location of the then 94th Infantry Division. In 1993, the unit's troops were withdrawn from the Western Group of Forces and transferred to the Kemerovo Region. In 1993, the unit was reorganized into the 74th motorized rifle brigade, which was joined by the 386th tank regiment and the 85th motorized rifle division.
From the autumn of 1999 to the spring of 2001, the officers and soldiers of the formation were involved in the anti-terrorist operation in the North Caucasus, including the storming of Grozny.
By Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of July 31, 2013 No. 656 "For distinction in battles during counter-terrorist operations in the North Caucasus region", the 74th Motorized Rifle Brigade was awarded the Order of Kutuzov.
Rewarding the 74th Motorized Rifle Brigade with the Order of Kutuzov To date, military unit 21005 is the only formation in the Central Military District that has undergone a complete rearmament. The unit received the latest combat vehicles and military weapons, and the officers and soldiers underwent a retraining course for military personnel.
Currently, the formation consists of motorized rifle and tank battalions, artillery divisions and several support companies.

History reference
formation. Neu-Timmen
74th separate training motorized rifle the regiment was formed in 1965 as part of the 2nd Guards Tank Army in Neu-Timmen (55 km north of Berlin) under the original name 30th OUMSP. The regiment was formed under the leadership of Lieutenant Colonel N. M. Bunin. On May 12, 1966, the Battle Banner with the inscription "30 separate training motorized rifle regiment".
Cottbus
In September 1966, the regiment was redeployed to Cottbus, replacing the 118th training tank regiment there. The regiment was reassigned. In March 1979, the regiment was reassigned to the Combat Training Directorate of the GSVG. Since March 1983, the regiment was again returned to the subordination of the 20th Guards Combined Arms Army. The training base of the regiment during the years of its stay in Cottbus was a well-equipped training center and the Shtakov training ground 30 km north of Cottbus, where the battalion went for a week.
In September 1967, the regiment's numbering was changed to 74th separate training motorized rifle regiment. The banner remains the same. The regiment was in Cottbus until May 1980. After the release of the regiment, the 35th separate airborne assault brigade of the GSVG was stationed in the military camp. In accordance with the decision of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the USSR, the 35th separate airborne assault brigade of group subordination and four separate airborne assault battalions of army subordination were formed in the GSVG in 1979 - 899 ODSHB (3rd Guards Army, Burg); 900 ODSHB (8th Guards Combined Arms Army, Leipzig); 1044 ODSHB (1st Guards Tank Army, Forst Zinna - Koenigsbrück); 1185 ODSHB (2nd Guards Tank Army, Ravensbrück).
Forst Cinna
Since May 1980, the regiment was redeployed to Forst-Zinna near Uteborg, replacing the 118th training tank regiment there again, where it was located until March 1983. The redeployment proceeded smoothly throughout the winter training period of 1979-1980. The transfer to Forst-Zinna near Uteborg was a difficult test for the permanent staff of the regiment, especially for members of the families of officers, but it took place in an organized manner and without compromising the quality of cadet training. The training base of the regiment when the regiment was in Forst-Zinna was the Heidehof and Uteborg training grounds.
Krampnitz
Since 1983, the regiment has been located in the city of Krampnitz (Potsdam. Officers in the regiment were selected specially. Platoon commanders, as a rule, came with experience in military service. Sometimes, as an exception, graduates were sent - gold medalists from the Moscow VOKU named after the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR. In the 80s, officers without service experience in the troops did not get into the 74th OUMSP. Most company commanders were raised on the spot. Monetary allowance in training regiments was a step higher than in linear ones. Service in the regiment in officer positions for most of the junior officers was a good recommendation for further study in military academies.After serving in the regiment, many senior officers rose to high ranks and senior positions in the Army.A different military commander grew out of the regiment.This is Army General, Chief of Staff Lobov, Vladimir Nikolaevich; colonel Kasperovich, Grigory Pavlovich, major general, military commandant of the NKAO Zhinkin; major generals Borisov, Terekhov, Rudov, and others.
The best graduates, commanders and specialists, were selected primarily for the “elite”, “royal” and “court” units of the 6th Guards Berlin Order of Bogdan Khmelnitsky, a separate motorized rifle brigade, the 69th Guards Motorized Rifle Regiment (Wünsdorf), the 10th separate tank battalion (Berlin), the 81st Petrokovsky motorized rifle regiment (Eberswalde) of the 6th guards motorized rifle division, etc. In December 1990, the 74th separate training motorized rifle regiment was disbanded. The battle banner of the regiment was deposited in the Central Museum of the Armed Forces.

Regular military and contract soldiers of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation have become an integral part of the armed conflict that is taking place on the territory of Ukraine.
Columns of military equipment, trains with ammunition and fuel and lubricants, units and brigades deployed to the Donbass, these are the realities of the “Russian world”.
With the help of force, deceit and manipulation, the “Kremlin curators” have been trying to impose their opinion and vision of life principles on the Ukrainian people for the third year already. The so-called "militias" or "Army of the Southeast" without the support of the Russian government would have been defeated long ago. Many members of illegal armed groups (which were created in 2014 under the leadership of the same FSB and State Apparatus of the Russian Federation) realized their guilt, left the groups or went on the run. Many, disappointed, simply handed over their weapons and sold their uniforms and went home. Therefore, in order to maintain an unstable situation on the territory of Donetsk and Luhansk regions, the persons responsible for the occupation of Ukrainian territories decided to use the RF Armed Forces in the ATO zone. This decision was not spontaneous. Since the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense recently published evidence (in the form of audio materials) about the direct participation of the Russian government in destabilizing the situation in Ukraine. Which is proof of armed aggression against our country. The government of the Russian Federation can endlessly prove that the RF Armed Forces are not on the territory of Ukraine. And our team, receiving data from open sources, will continue to collect material on the participation of regular military and contract soldiers of the Russian army in the clashes in the Donbass.
