In the historical form of the Chelyabinsk VTKU them. 50th anniversary of the Great October Revolution, the Tank Institute, and in last years- Chelyabinsk VVKU, unfortunately there was no word about his relationship with the Chelyabinsk Tank School of 1941. But there is a relationship that does not require formal proof - a spiritual and historical relationship.
The heroic deeds of tankers of past and present generations are intertwined into a single whole. In the past - new heroes draw courage -.
And in the film by Alexander Nevzorov "Purgatory" - one of the main characters, a lieutenant - a tanker, it is not by chance that he bears the name of Igor Grigorashchenko. Its prototype was a graduate of ChVTKU in 1994 - Igor Grigorashenko, who laid down his life in the battles for Grozny.
Hundreds of new graduates went through the fiery furnace of Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Transnistria, Chechnya...
Our country is going through a difficult time. Economic problems overshadow a lot, some even have a memory.
And take away a person's memory and he turns into a helpless, good-for-nothing creature. There is also other historical memory. Its price is huge. It makes a person part of the people. Remove this memory and there is no people, there is a crowd without a past and without a future.
In order to defeat a country now, it is not necessary to conquer it by force of arms - it is necessary to deprive the people of historical memory, defaming all the best that was in their history and the country to fall apart.
It is this memory that they tried and are still trying to take away from us. Our victory in that war was a miracle. According to all laws, according to "European" logic, we had to fall. After all, the enemy outnumbered us, so that some would not talk about it and write about it. But we won - driving out the invaders, freeing half of Europe, forcing the Nazis to unconditional surrender.
In that victory, no small merit of "" Tankograd "" and its tankers. New generations need to remember her. In order to know what innumerable forces lurk in your multinational people and what miracles it is capable of ... To know and rely on this experience in a difficult moment for the country.
Among the loaves is a granite pedestal,
The harsh lines of straightforwardness are simple.
A heavy tank stood up over the groves
Reminding of courage for centuries.
By the thickness of the steel we will determine
What were the knights once
Kohl could be worn on their shoulders
Fifty tons of armor rattling armor.
