Guards units
The 76th Guards Air Assault Division is stationed in Pskov. And one of the regiments is based in the suburban town of Cherekha. In common parlance, this division is called the Pskov division. This is her unofficial name, but it is under it that most Russians know her. Now the division is commanded by a major general, whose name is Alexei Naumets.
The 76th Guards Chernihiv Red Banner Airborne Assault Division was formed on the eve of World War II. At the front, she showed herself brightly. Participated in the defense of Sevastopol, Stalingrad, Kerch and Odessa. Took part in the battle Kursk Bulge. The war ended victoriously - in Germany.
In the mid-90s, separate divisions of the division participated in the armed conflict in the North Caucasus. AT recent times soldiers and officers of this military unit manifest themselves in international conflicts. For example, the 76th Guards Air Assault Division participated in the peacekeeping operation in Kosovo, which took place from 1999 to 2001, as well as in the military conflict against Georgia in the summer of 2008.
The division was last seen in 2014 in the Crimea. There she was entrusted with the tasks of returning the republic to Russia.
Division history
Initially, the 76th Guards Air Assault Division received the number 157. It was founded in 1939 on the basis of the Taman Division.
At the time when the Great Patriotic War began, the division was assigned to the North Caucasian Military District. The first task in the war was the defense of the Black Sea coast.
In the first battle, the 76th Guards Air Assault Division, whose history has since counted many battles, took part in the fall of the first year of the war. At that time she defended Odessa. However, at dawn, unexpectedly for the enemy, she went on the offensive, took possession of the state farm and the village.
In October, the division was transferred to Sevastopol, and later to Novorossiysk. She had to prove herself in the Feodosia landing operation. The fighting lasted 9 days, according to their results, it was possible to completely liberate the Kerch Peninsula, the defending Sevastopol received significant assistance.
Military operations
In the summer of 1942, the division destroyed German troops crossing the Don. In August, she stood on the northern coast of the Aksai River. There were constant battles here. The division has always had its own heroes. In these battles, he became the Red Army soldier Afanasy Ermakov, a machine gunner. He was awarded the title of Hero Soviet Union.
In 1943, the 76th Guards Air Assault Division was ordered to participate in the Battle of Stalingrad. The division carried out the operation "Ring", which consisted in the destruction of the enemy, who was surrounded.
In the Stalingrad battles, the division destroyed more than 10 thousand German soldiers and officers. After Battle of Stalingrad she was given the status of a guard.
At the end of the war
Then the division was part of the Bryansk Front, participated in Battle of Kursk. On July 12, the paratroopers crossed the Oka and captured the German bridgehead, destroying one and a half thousand enemies.
After that, she participated in the liberation of Chernihiv. Within three days, the division managed to advance 70 kilometers, advancing on the enemy. In 1944, already in the 1st Belorussian Front, participated in the captured by the Nazis. Fighting advancing in the direction of Brest. As a result, the fortress city was liberated.
In January 1945, already as part of the 2nd Belorussian Front, the division destroyed an enemy unit that was defending the city of Torun. It included more than 30 thousand soldiers and officers of the Wehrmacht. On March 23, Zoppot was taken, so the USSR received free access to the Baltic Sea.
The division advanced towards Germany. On May 2, she conquered the town of Gustrow, and the forward detachments had already made their way to the Baltic Sea, where they crossed paths with individual allied units.
During the war, more than 50 soldiers and officers were awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union. Medals and orders were awarded to 12 thousand people.
In peacetime, the division was transferred from Germany, and in 1947 arrived at the place of its new deployment. The 76th Guards Air Assault Division still considers Pskov its home.
In peacetime, the division regularly took part in exercises, but this was not the end of it. In 1988, a large-scale earthquake took place in Armenia. The division helped to cope with the consequences of a natural disaster.
In the Chechen war
To participate in the Chechen war, the division was sent to the North Caucasus back in 1994. The guardsmen lost about 120 soldiers and officers dead. This time, 10 people received the title of Hero of Russia, two of them posthumously. In the line of duty, Sergei Pyatnitskikh, a former lieutenant colonel, and Yuri Nikitich died.
The personnel of the division also participated in the Second Chechen campaign. Paratroopers liberated settlements Argun, Gudermes and Karamakhi blocked the Vedeno Gorge.
Vivid examples of heroism
A striking example of heroism is the 76th Guards Air Assault Division, whose address is Pskov-2, military unit 07264, General Margelov street, house number 17, showed in the battle for height 776. The paratroopers opposed the trained militants of Khattab. It was one of the most outstanding battles in which the division participated. The enemy was seriously damaged. 22 paratroopers received the title of Hero of the Russian Federation, however, 21 of them - posthumously.
Nowadays
The air assault division became in 2006. A notable feature of this particular military unit is that paratroopers can not only land with a parachute, but also with a part of military equipment.
The division last showed itself in 2014. She participated in the armed conflict in the south-east of Ukraine. The SBU announced the capture of two combat vehicles of paratroopers. True, the ministry refutes these conjectures. Some even noted that it could be a provocation.
An indirect confirmation of the participation of the Pskov division in the war in the South-East was the funeral of paratroopers who died under unclear circumstances. Some time later, the companies were buried, but already in Voronezh. According to the Voronezh military commissar, he died while performing his direct official duties.
Over the years, many served in the division famous commanders. Of particular note is the Hero of the Soviet Union Viktor Malyasov, who was listed for life in the regiment's lists.
The weapons are very modern. This is an airborne combat vehicle, an armored personnel carrier, an airborne self-propelled gun, a portable anti-aircraft missile system. Now the division continues to stay in Pskov, awaiting further orders.
76th Guards Air Assault Chernihiv Red Banner Division (DShD) - the oldest of the existing formations Airborne Troops(VDV). It is the successor of the 157th Rifle Division (later to become the 76th Guards Rifle Division), formed on September 1, 1939 on the basis of the 221st Black Sea Rifle Regiment of the 74th Taman Rifle Division.
The division's first baptism of fire took place during the defense of Odessa. On September 22, 1941, units of the division replaced the defenders and at dawn went on the offensive, during which they captured the Ilyichovka state farm and the village of Gildendorf.

As a result of 9 days of hostilities, the Kerch Peninsula was cleared of the enemy and great support was provided to the besieged Sevastopol.
From July 25 to July 30, 1942, the division led fighting to destroy the Nazis who crossed to the left bank of the Don. For successful military operations and the liberation of the village of Krasnoyarsk, the commander of the North Caucasian Front, Marshal of the Soviet Union Budyonny, thanked the personnel.

Subsequently, the division took part in the Battle of Kursk on the northern face of the Kursk salient. Among others, the personnel of the 76th Guards. The SD was marked with the gratitude of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief.
On September 8, 1943, the division set out from the Orel region near Chernigov.

By order of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief of September 21, 1943, No. 20, the division was thanked and given the honorary name Chernihiv.
On July 17, 1944, the division as part of the 1st Belorussian Front launched an offensive northwest of Kovel. On July 26, troops advancing from the north and south united 20-25 km west of Brest, surrounding the enemy grouping. For access to the State border of the USSR and the liberation of Brest 76 Guards. sd was awarded the Order of the Red Banner.
On January 25, 1945, as part of the 2nd Belorussian Front, units and subunits of the division blocked the exit from the city of Torun, a powerful stronghold on the Vistula, and then destroyed the 32,000th enemy group defending the city.
On March 23, 1945, the division captured the city of Tsoppot by storm, went to the Baltic Sea and turned to the south. By the morning of March 25, as part of the corps, the guards captured the city of Oliva and advanced on Danzig. On March 30, the liquidation of the Danzig group was completed.
On April 24, the division concentrated in the Kortenhaten area, 20 km south of Stettin. At dawn on April 26, the formation crossed the Rondov Canal on a wide front and, breaking through the enemy’s defensive line, cleared the city of Preclav from the Nazis by the end of the day.
On May 2, the division captured the city of Gustrow, and on May 3, the cities of Karow and Buttsov. The advance detachment went to the Baltic Sea and on the outskirts of the city of Wismar met with units airborne division Allied Expeditionary Army. On this, the 76th Guards. sd completed military operations against the Nazi troops and began to carry out patrol service on the coast.
During the war years, 50 fighters received the high title of Hero of the Soviet Union in the division, and over 12 thousand were awarded orders and medals. Immediately after the war, the 76th Guards. sd was transferred from Germany to the territory of the Soviet Union and transformed into an airborne assault (airborne). In the spring of 1947, the division was redeployed to the city of Pskov.
In 1988, the 76th airborne division took part in the elimination of the consequences of the earthquake in Armenia. From 1988 to 1992, the division's paratroopers participated in containing interethnic conflicts in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kyrgyzstan, the Baltic States, Transnistria, North and South Ossetia.
In 1991, the 104th and 234th Guards parachute regiments awarded with the Pennant of the Ministry of Defense of the USSR "For courage and military prowess". Previously, the division as a whole and its artillery regiment were awarded the Vympel of the Ministry of Defense.

For courage and heroism shown in the performance of special tasks, many guards paratroopers were awarded orders and medals, and ten officers were awarded the title of Hero. Russian Federation.

The personnel of the 6th company of the 104th airborne regiment showed mass heroism in the battle with Khattab's gangs. At the cost of their lives, the paratroopers inflicted serious damage on the enemy. For this feat, 22 guardsmen (21 of them posthumously) were awarded the title of Hero of Russia, 69 soldiers and officers of the 6th company were awarded the Order of Courage (63 of them posthumously).
Since 2006, the division has been an air assault division. 100% of the personnel of the formation are ready to parachute. In the air assault division, unlike the airborne division, each regiment has one reinforced battalion capable of landing with equipment.
The 76th Airborne Division is one of the most combat-ready formations of the Russian Armed Forces. In 2004, it was the first in Russia to switch to a contract-based recruitment system.
On August 15-16, the first thousand people from the 76th airborne assault division stationed in the city were sent from Pskov to participate in hostilities in eastern Ukraine. The coffins came back. The paratroopers and their relatives refuse to "business trip". There is evidence that the command is now going to send "conscripts" to Ukraine.
Events in the units of the 76th Guards Airborne Assault Chernigov Division have always determined life in Pskov, and in general - in the Pskov region. For many families, servicemen of this division are the sole breadwinners; they are issued military mortgages, which practically provide families with housing. It is not surprising that in the event of the outbreak of hostilities, whether in Chechnya, in Georgia or, as it is now, in Ukraine, the whole of Pskov freezes and, with bated breath, waits: will their fathers, husbands, sons and brothers be sent to a hot spot, or not . Moreover, information about this command of the division is always carefully hidden. The paratroopers are warned "about non-disclosure". And in the division itself, the post of media relations officer was recently abolished.
Of course, it is impossible to hide such information from the public. The first "bell" sounded on August 16, when it became known that about a thousand paratroopers were sent to Ukraine. Leader of the Pskov organization of the Yabloko party, deputy of the Pskov Regional Assembly Lev Shlosberg talks about what he knows today about the participation of Pskov paratroopers in the hostilities in the Donbass:
Grave of paratrooper Leonid Kichatkin. Photo provided by the newspaper "Pskov province"- Pskov knows that on August 15-16, a combined brigade was sent to Ukraine, composed on the basis of units of the 76th Airborne Assault Division. This brigade, after August 18, entered into hostilities on the territory of Ukraine, crossing the border in the Rostov region. She suffered losses because she found herself fighting. It was then that the famous Leonid Kichatkin and many other servicemen died, the exact number of which is unknown. The people who brought us the recordings of the conversations published in the latest issue of the Pskovskaya Guberniya newspaper in the article "They put the whole company" assert that the first consolidated company, which was part of this composition of the combined brigade, died almost completely. About ten people survived. The staff of the company is 80 people, but it can be more, depending on the military task. Accordingly, if the assessment of the servicemen themselves is correct, it turns out that at least seventy people died. Only from one military unit.
Lev Shlosberg adds that there were several such mouths, therefore overall scale losses are very difficult to estimate:
- It was known (and people associated with the division spoke openly about this, and Pskov also knew about it) that another combined brigade, another one thousand people, was scheduled to be sent to Ukraine on August 29. People literally sat on their suitcases and waited for the order. But on August 29, no such order was received. According to the fragmentary information that is now available, there has not yet been a shipment. Perhaps the scale of the international scandal, including the disclosure of part of the information about the dead Russian servicemen, stopped these plans and forced them to either postpone the shipment or cancel it altogether. It is known that the division received the task of forming three brigades, that is, three times a thousand people, and very serious problems arose with the formation of the third brigade. People refuse to go to this war. The soldiers themselves object. They refuse to be "cannon fodder", which is illegally transferred to the territory of another state to conduct these hostilities. In addition, military families strongly object to the dispatch. They don't need "cargo 200". Therefore, information appeared that the third brigade would be formed at the expense of conscripts, forcibly, by conducting a “Young Soldier Course” and forcing them to sign contracts. Such were the plans.
Grave of paratrooper Alexander Osipov. The plaque with her name was later removed from her. Photo provided by the newspaper "Pskov province"Lev Shlosberg notes that such plans can be trusted, since, according to him, the attitude towards the rule of law in the Russian army is extremely low:
- In addition, the number of victims was not considered before, and now they are not considered. That is, if it is said that there is an unofficial military mission and you need to achieve its implementation, take Donetsk under your control, take Lugansk under your control, advance to Mariupol or something else, then forces will be sent in the amount that will be recognized as necessary for this task. And if people die, some part of the people, other people will be sent to replace them. None of the political decision makers have been crying over the dead for a long time. This is the reason for the madness of the political decisions being made. The people who take them have crossed the "blood barrier" long ago. For them, there is no scale of a person's personal tragedy. One schizophrenic geopolitics remained in their heads, and it completely drove them crazy.
After the publication in the newspaper "Pskov province" of the article "The war will write off everything" about the paratroopers who died in Ukraine, on August 29 at Lev Shlosberg was attacked, he received a head injury and a concussion and is now being treated at the Pskov Regional Hospital, where two security guards assigned to him are on duty near his ward. Governor Andrei Turchak. Over the past week since the attack, journalists have been frequenting Pskov. The attacks are now on them, there were nine cases in total, they continued all this time, says an employee of the Pskovskaya Guberniya newspaper, a writer Andrey Semenov:
“Before these events, there had never been attacks on journalists in Pskov. All these journalists, with the exception of Lev Shlosberg, were from other cities, from Moscow and St. Petersburg. And in such conditions, it also becomes unsafe for Pskov journalists to work. To move around the city, and not just in the cemeteries where military personnel are buried ... I must say that we have little choice. Either we talk about what is happening, or we are silent. Most of Pskov journalists, apparently, chose the second path. They are silent, he says. Andrey Semyonov.
No one in Pskov, for example, could find out anything about where the fighters of the GRU special forces unit, which is part of the division, went on a three-month business trip, which, by the way, should already return by September 8. This secrecy, the death of comrades, the uncertainty of the status of the paratroopers sent to Ukraine, the official denial that Russia is conducting military operations on the territory of this country, the constant deception on the part of the commanders - all this caused discontent in the units of the 76th division and among their relatives. The paratroopers provided Lev Shlosberg with a recording telephone conversations combatants. From these negotiations, one can imagine what serious losses the paratroopers suffered. Why did the paratroopers decide to tell the truth? Lev Shlosberg explains:
“Many commanders of the Pskov division have changed before our very eyes. They are here, as a rule, for a very limited time. For Pskov, these are high-ranking military men. And for all the Armed Forces, these are just the commanders of one of the leading combat units. Above them are decision makers. These include the commander-in-chief and the minister of defense. And that's it. Even airborne commander- it's just a performer. Therefore, it is generally impossible to talk about the position of the military at the level of Pskov. It doesn't exist by definition. Humanly, people are very outraged. We would never have received these tapes if people did not object to such bestial treatment of themselves. They are military. This is their job. They can fight anywhere. Maybe in Ukraine, maybe in Germany, maybe in Africa... Wherever they send, they will fight there. But they want to know that this is a legal order, that the state is officially at war and they have a military mission. But when the commander of the Airborne Forces tells them to their faces: "Our division did not suffer combat losses" ... And they have a funeral every day. They want to punch this boss in the face. And they talk about it quite directly and frankly. To use the armed forces in this way is very insulting, humiliating and very vile. This is the inner protest that is brewing. But in the Russian army, he will never come to the surface. Imagine that in tsarist Russia some imperial regiment rebelled, it was possible, they could even go to Senate Square. And the regiments of today's Russian army will not rebel. But there will be some mood. And now the authorities are even afraid of the mood! And this mood that arose in the army after these secret battles, secret losses, secret funerals for the authorities is completely destructive. The authorities began to be treated with contempt. "You sent us to the war? Well, tell me, damn it, that we have a war! Directly give us the order to go there. We will go. We are military. But you consider us to be people. How can you say that we are there "No, if we're there? How can you say that we don't suffer losses when we suffer losses. How can you bury us in secret and remove the tablets with the names and dates of life and death from the crosses? Who gave you such a right?" And the authorities were afraid of this reaction.
- People knew the routes that I walk around the city, they knew where I live, where my public reception is. They clearly calculated the place where it was most convenient to attack. And they were very professional. They immediately “turned me off” with a blow to the head from behind, and then they beat me when I was lying down. I do not remember at all the events after the blow that happened to me within an hour and a half, I came to my senses already here, in the hospital. The issue is the level of decision making about my beating. Was, roughly speaking, someone offended by me in the division or next to the division, or was someone offended in Moscow? It - important question. If the decision was made by irritated military men who did not comply with the secrecy order, this is one situation. If the decision was made by some gopniks associated with the military, this is another situation. And if this is a decision of persons authorized to make political decisions, publicly and not publicly, then this is an action of political intimidation throughout its plot, according to the plot. I, of course, tend to this option, but it must be proved by the investigation. I cannot now name a single name of the alleged organizers. It will be possible to find out their names, and I am sure that there are several of them, only by going to the performer and forcing him to speak. But this is a matter for investigation. He has the right tools in his hands.
At the same time, the campaign for early elections of the governor and heads of municipal districts is now being completed in the Pskov region. Lev Shlosberg, like Oksana Dmitrieva in St. Petersburg, was not allowed to overcome the "municipal filter", which led to a sharp increase in the number of people who wanted to spoil the ballots on September 14:
– Acting Governor Andriy Turchak has exploited the theme of "Crimea" and "Ukraine" to the fullest since the beginning of the election campaign. After the annexation of Crimea, I was presented as a "traitor" and a representative of the "fifth column", and this was a normal move by a person who professes "Nashi" views. In response, I consolidated that part of society that protests against such a political position. Our confrontation has led to a certain polarization of society. I know that even before Crimea and Ukraine, Andriy Turchak pushed through the presidential administration the decision on my non-participation in the election campaign. He considered me, quite rightly, the only uncontrolled rival. He was right, but they also expected the "municipal filter" to be a completely insurmountable obstacle for me. However, when in the first week we collected more than fifty signatures, and in the second another thirty, and it became clear that there were chances of going to the polls, all levers of influence were used here, personal negotiations with the heads of districts, with deputies of district assemblies. They could not do anything with the deputies of rural and urban settlements. We scored maximum amount- 113 signatures. And with the deputies of district assemblies, who needed at least 44, we scored 36, i.e. met 95 percent of all requirements. They, of course, did not expect that we would come so close to the elections. They could let us in. But they were afraid. Now they have a problem. Nobody wants to go to the polls. This shameful circus is not needed by self-respecting people. I'm sure there will be a very low turnout. There will be many votes out of desperation for Turchak. But I know a lot of people in the Pskov region who called me and said that they would go to the polls in order to invalidate the ballots. For the Pskov region, this tactic is called “five crosses”. Five candidates will receive a cross, in each cell of the ballot, - says Lev Shlosberg.
On August 27, on Kosmicheskaya Street, a passer-by managed to photograph about ten empty new coffins, some in cellophane, dumped on the territory of the military unit. Arrived there in an hour Chief Editor newspaper "Courier. Pskov-Velikiye Luki" Oleg Konstantinov I could only take a picture of an empty place - the coffins were quickly destroyed. Attempts by journalists to find out anything from the military were unsuccessful, the investigation had to be stopped, he says:
Those same coffins on Cosmic Street. Photo provided by the newspaper "Courier. Pskov and Velikiye Luki"– Logically speaking, one can understand: coffins are not just thrown away. We came to the conclusion that the dead paratroopers were taken to other places, they were not brought to Pskov. These coffins simply did not come in handy. And in Russia there is a tradition: you can’t keep coffins for the future, a bad omen. In this case, they probably did. Based on the information that we received the day before, we concluded that by August 27 we could already talk about 10-16 dead paratroopers.
Since May of this year, immediately after the annexation of Crimea, the Russian Ministry of Defense began a large-scale recruitment campaign for contract soldiers in the Airborne Forces. People come to Pskov to serve in the special forces from all over the country. With one of these volunteers, who asked not to be named, Timur from Dagestan, we got talking. His story is simple:
- I am Timur. I am 30. I am from Dagestan. Born in the city of Kyzyl-Yurt. Studied at school number 5. Finished school in 2001. He entered the Dagestan State Technical Institute with a degree in radio engineering. I decided for myself to get a contract service in Russian army. Therefore, I came to Pskov from the city of Velikiye Luki. There I passed military service in one of the parts. There he met a girl. Fell in love. He left home after the service, but a year later he returned back, because they corresponded, called back. They lived for three years in a civil marriage, gave birth to a son, went to my house, played a wedding. This was in 2010. But then I had to go to Velikie Luki, because my wife, Russian, was not easy in Dagestan. And I feel good everywhere, the main thing is that my wife is nearby. It was hard for me to find a job here. At home, I worked in my specialty: design engineer, programmer, process engineer. And he came here and began to work as a loader, at a construction site ... This, of course, got tired. I decided to get a normal specialty. Found on the Internet information about the service under the contract. Collected documents. I'm going through a medical examination now. I want to join the special forces.
– And if you are sent to Ukraine?
- I'm not afraid to go there. I understand that there is a madhouse going on, nothing good. I was told that guys were sent there, that they were killed there. But, until you find yourself there, you will definitely not know about it yourself. I think so.
“And if you are forced to shoot at people?”
- They can ... But you will not shoot at children and women.
- How will you be paid for the service under the contract? Are there any supplements for participating in hostilities?
- Not. You come to our unit, and standard rates are reported there. From 20-30 thousand rubles in special forces, in the landing. And an ordinary motorized rifleman - 17-19 thousand rubles a month, - says Timur.
From February 29 to the morning of March 1, 2000, soldiers of the 6th company of the 104th parachute regiment of the 76th (Pskov) Airborne Division under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Mark Evtyukhin fought with a large illegal armed formation near Argun in Chechnya, at the Ulus line -Kert-Selmentausen, at height 776.The battle lasted from 1 p.m. to 5 a.m. on the first of March.

84 servicemen were killed in the battle, including 13 officers. Only six soldiers survived. The losses of the militants amounted, according to various estimates, from 370 to 700 people.

Patch of the 234th Guards Airborne RegimentStory
The predecessor of the connection was the 221st rifle regiment, formed in the winter of 1926 and immediately became part of the 74th Taman Rifle Division. For military merit in the pre-war period, he received the name of the Black Sea.
In August 1939, it was detached from the division as an independent unit and reorganized into the 157th Rifle Division. Structural units headquarters and one of the battalions became the basis for the formation of the 384th rifle regiment, redeployed to Novorossiysk. The regiment itself, among the combat units of the 157th division, defended Odessa (September 1941) and was involved in the Kerch-Feodosia operation (December - May 1942).
The regiment was reorganized into the 234th at the end of the Battle of Stalingrad (1943), at the same time received the rank of Guards. After the Great Patriotic War relocated to Kirov, and in June 1946 - to Kingisepp. The final location of the then 234th Guards Rifle since 1947 was the city of Pskov.
In the summer of 1946, there was another reorganization of the unit - it became known as the 234th Guards Landing Airborne Regiment and became part of the collapsed 238th Guards Rifle Regiment. The 234th Guards Airborne Regiment was renamed in the autumn of 1949. It is worth noting that during the war the unit was awarded the Order of Kutuzov 3rd degree for participating in the liberation of Danzig (May 1945).

After the military reform of 2008, it was renamed the 234th Guards air assault regiment. Before the reform (in 2004) it was transferred to the contract basis of configuration. To date, the unit is the only one in the Russian Federation that bears the name of Alexander Nevsky (assigned in 1996). The image of the saint is on the banner and sleeve patches of the unit.
In the second half of the 1980s, the regiment participated in operations in Baku and Yerevan, as well as in the aftermath of a natural disaster in Armenia. He was part of the UN peacekeepers and participated in missions in Abkhazia, Transnistria, as well as Yugoslavia and North Ossetia. Participated in two Chechen wars (1995-1996, 1999 and 2004).
Catering in the shelf
eyewitness impressions
The material and living conditions of the servicemen of military unit 74268 are called good. So, recruits and old-timers are placed on different floors of the Kubrick hostel (the Kubricks are designed for 12 people), which excludes hazing, although conflict relations between old-timers and recruits were previously noted. To prevent such situations, a nightly physical examination of the soldiers is carried out.
The barracks is equipped with showers, a relaxation room and a sports corner. The dining room is located on the first floor: personnel and officers eat together. Soldiers can go to the store on the territory of the garrison only with accompanying officers. It is noteworthy that the chip has a terminal for replenishing the account.
In addition, the garrison has a club, a medical unit and a bath and laundry plant. Cleaning of the surrounding area and the first floor of the barracks is carried out by civilian personnel. The fighters carry out the cleaning of the cockpits on their own (for this, an outfit is assigned).
Sports in part
The management of the unit allows the independent purchase of new shoes to replace old-style shoes. You can do this in one of the Pskov military stores. Army clothing, footwear and equipment stores are located at the following addresses:
- "Splav" on the street. Pushkina, 16. Open until 18.00;
- "Camouflage" on the street. Yubileinaya, 22. Open until 18.00;
- "Sturmer" on the street. Jan Fabricius, 3-a/13. Works until 19.00.

At the end of the oath to the paratroopers of such a unit as Military Unit 74268, leave is allowed until 19.00. Married servicemen can extend their dismissal until 19.00 Sunday, having previously checked in with the unit commander. The rest of the time, leave is allowed on holidays and weekends, but they are rarely released with an overnight stay.
The ritual of bringing a soldier of the unit to the military oath
It is forbidden to use mobile phones before taking the oath - they are seized by the command, but the SIM cards remain with the soldiers. After the recruits have taken the oath, you can call home on Sundays from 16.00 until lights out. It is recommended to purchase SIM cards of all Russian telecom operators with tariffs for Pskov and the Pskov region.
Military unit 74268 pays monetary allowances to conscripts once a month, and to contractors twice. Such an accrual system is adopted in all military units of the Russian Federation. Calculation of monetary allowance is made on the card of Sberbank of Russia. You can withdraw money at VTB-24 and Baltic Bank ATMs on the street. Generala Margelov, 1, that is, at the checkpoint. Relatives should open a VTB-24 card and send money to it. The paratroopers, in turn, monthly donate a certain amount for the needs of the company.
