[ColonelCassad] Briefly about the return of Stalingrad.
In recent weeks, the topic of renaming Volgograd back to Stalingrad has revived again.
The topic is not new, but now it has received a new relevance. Regarding the historical aspects, everything is clear - nothing greater than the events of 1942-1943 is unlikely to ever happen to the city, therefore it is imprinted in history under this name, and not as Volgograd or Tsaritsyn, this is just an objective fact.
With the outbreak of the war with NATO, the request to appeal to the Stalinist experience of mobilization and patriotism was updated, since if you delve into the relatively recent past, no one except Stalin is suitable for the role of a symbol of mobilization and patriotism.
Well, it’s not worthless to move Nicholas II or the idol of liberals Stolypin. So, even before the war, Comrade Stalin was very popular and relevant, and now his golden days are coming at all, since now even other liberals have begun to demand the restoration of order by Stalin's methods and the Gulag for the enemies of the people.
"The time has come when I began to understand Comrade Stalin..."
Well, in such circumstances, the topic of the return of Stalingrad is again updated. In fact, the city is nine days a year for the holidays and so becomes Stalingrad, that is, formally, a certain return has already occurred, but so far only for the holidays. Now they are offering it permanently, they say, why be embarrassed. Indeed, what?
In my opinion, the issue should be decided at a city referendum, where the residents themselves should speak out on this issue - in the end, they should live in this city. In order not to spend too much money on this issue, attach the vote on Stalingrad to the next elections of local deputies in order to save on organization.
Those who wish can even shove Tsaritsyn into the poll for greater pluralism. By the way, the most famous event associated with Tsaritsyn is the defense of Tsaritsyn during the Civil War. The defense of Tsaritsyn was led by Comrade Stalin, which actually led to the fact that the city was later called Stalingrad.
Personally, my position has not changed over the past decades - the name Stalingrad should be returned to the city. In any case, it is more than just Stalin. Stalingrad is a symbol of the resilience and heroism of the entire Soviet people, for which millions of people fought and died, including my grandfather. And it is precisely such symbols that are required now, during the next great turning point.
After this, communism will not start in our country, Putin will not get a party card, and United Russia will not turn into the CPSU (B) - if anyone fears or hopes for this. But in any case, we will close a certain gestalt and demonstrate that we stop being shy and afraid of our past, including the Stalinist past, as those with whom we are now at war have been trying to instill in us for decades.

Russians pine for Stalin, a Georgian, to lead them again. I mean, he only had more millions than Hitler murdered, big deal and almost 100% of his victims were ethnic Russians.
Why wouldn't Russians want him back? He represents strength with ISIS mentality and that's what Russia is.

If you're a college student who has to write a term paper for a history class, there is no more fascinating character than Joe Stalin. But the whole time you're researching and writing that paper, you thank your lucky stars you weren't living in the USSR while he was running the show.
Some might argue that, given the way Russians are/were especially after the Bolshevik Revolution, Stalin was the only man who could successfully mobilize resistance to the Nazi invasion. They might even argue that the terror he imposed on Russians was necessary to instill obedience to the state. Of course, it is doubtful that either Nicholas II or Alexander Kerensky could have won that war.
Some Russians, even when they were sitting in boxcars bound for the gulags, revered Joe Stalin as some kind of a god. "If only Joe Stalin knew about this...", they would say. But Joe knew.
I think the sad fact is, if you're caught between Joe Stalin and Adolph Hitler, you're in for a very hard time.

Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin
Proposed alternative article name: Shit Show in Spornovo
[ColonelCassad] A large video showing a piece of the battle in the area of Disputed, where the forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were advancing on the fortified positions of the 4th Motorized Rifle Brigade of the LPR.
Plus a comment by "Rybar" on the topic: Following commentary by Russian military blogger Rybar
Fight in the area of Spornovo near Lisichansk
The Military Chronicle @milchronicles channel published (https://t.me/milchronicles/1327 ) a video of the battle in the LPR. Judging by the footage, the video captures an episode of the September attempt of the Ukrainian Armed Forces to attack Lisichansk.
All actions take place near the fortified area near the Disputable and are recorded from the drone of the 4th brigade of the NM of the LPR. Thanks to the almost continuous shooting, you can analyze the course of the battle in detail.
First, the Ukrainian MT-LBM drives up to the front line of trenches and lands an assault group with ammunition. The armored car departs, the enemy squad enters the trench.
Coordinates: 48.8082038, 38.2838381
Soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are moving along the trenches in a southerly direction, but they are meeting resistance from Russian military personnel. Close combat begins, both sides throwing hand grenades. A pair of Su-25 ground attack aircraft appears in the sky. Then the enemy shoots down one of the drones of the 4th brigade.
Coordinates: 48.8074402, 38.2838630
After an unsuccessful attempt to take the fortified area immediately, the soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine lie in the trenches. Russian artillery 152mm howitzers of the RF Armed Forces begin to work on them, some of the shells hit the trenches exactly. A UAV operator captures the bodies of nine killed members of Ukrainian formations.
▪️The enemy requests the evacuation of the wounded. From the side of the object with a concrete fence, a group of doctors of the Armed Forces of Ukraine moves forward, carrying the wounded from the line of fire. The dead are left lying on the field.
Coordinates: 48.8077036, 38.2808787
▪️Then the territory of the gas station to the west of the battlefield, which acts as the near rear of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, gets into the frame. It also begins to hit the Russian artillery, hitting the building with a blue roof.
Coordinates: 48.8102787, 38.2691574
▪️After evacuating the wounded, the Ukrainian formations resume their attack and try to crawl through. Soldiers of the PMC "Wagner" hit a VAZ vehicle with an RPG, which, apparently, was previously used to transport ammunition.
Coordinates: 48.8080932, 38.2834586
▪️At the enemy's concentration in the northern corner of the trenches, the artillery of the RF Armed Forces again begins to work, sending shells exactly into the trenches. Eight killed and two wounded soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine fall into the lens of the drone.
Coordinates: 48.8079953, 38.2836564
▪️From the direction of Volcheyarovka, a Russian T-72 tank drives up, which takes up a position in the clearing and hits the gas station from a closed position. The shells land in the north-eastern part of the facility, where the Ukrainian infantry fighting vehicle is stationed.
Coordinates: 48.8088331, 38.2872093
▪️After the failure of the assault, the Armed Forces of Ukraine retreat into a forest plantation. A Su-34 bomber appears in the air, which strikes with ODAB-500 volumetric detonating bombs.
Coordinates: 48.806170, 38.272279
What points can be singled out separately?
The video again demonstrates the importance of fortifications. A well-built fortified area helped the soldiers of the 4th brigade and the Wagner PMC to hold back the enemy’s advance and prevent them from taking an important position.
In the video, Russian troops demonstrated interaction not only at the level of units, but even types of troops. In addition to accurate artillery strikes, VKS aircraft appear in the air twice in one battle.
At the same time, questions may arise about the work of aviation on video. Several Su-34 bombs fell off the target, and the moment of the Su-25 strikes did not hit the frame at all.
Due to the lack of systematic work to suppress Ukrainian air defense (https://t.me/rybar/39327 ) and organizational problems in the current conditions, the VKS bomber regiments on the Su-34 cannot fully demonstrate their full combat potential. Which greatly affects the fire support of the ground forces.
