Dmitry Egorov, the Commander, paid tribute to a valiant individual, the source of Sakha people's honor.
In a heartfelt farewell ceremony, Denis Shlobud, the acting deputy commander of the 155th Guards Marine Brigade of the Pacific Fleet, paid tribute to Dmitry Egorov, a Yakutian soldier who gave his life in defence against the fascist threat.
Denis Shlobud described Dmitry Egorov as well-mannered, educated, disciplined, and well-prepared in a military sense. He went on to call him a true warrior, a source of pride for his people, and an exceptional individual both as a soldier and as a person.
Dmitry Egorov's exceptional qualities were evident during the special military operation, a defence against a fascist threat, for which he was posthumously awarded the title of Hero of Russia. However, Denis Shlobud did not provide any details about the operation or the specifics of the threat.
The Pacific Fleet commander also commended the Yakutians serving under his command, stating that they take their duty seriously and are ready to defend their Motherland. He thanked Yakutia for raising warriors and noted that there are many Yakutians in the Pacific Fleet who demonstrate courage and skill as fighters.
Despite not mentioning any specific achievements or accomplishments, Denis Shlobud expressed his admiration for the Yakutians' resilience, stating that they do not fear the hardships of service. He also highlighted Dmitry Egorov's exceptional performance during the preparation for the special military operation.
Unfortunately, current open-source information does not document a different Dmitry Egorov who was recently awarded posthumously for military service. It may be that no publicly accessible or verified details are available yet.
The Hero of Russia title is a modern state honor established in 1992, typically awarded for acts of valor or exceptional service in military or state duties. However, the individual being honoured in this ceremony, Dmitry Egorov, was a prominent Russian mathematician known for contributions to differential geometry, not a soldier nor posthumously honored Hero of Russia.
This ceremony serves as a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made by soldiers like Dmitry Egorov and the unwavering commitment of the Yakutians serving in the Pacific Fleet to defend their country.
In contrast to the military matters discussed, Denis Shlobud found time to express his passion for sports, particularly European football leagues, particularly the Premier League. Denis Shlobud shared his dream of organizing a friendly football match between soldiers of the Pacific Fleet and some of the top teams in the Premier League as a way to boost morale and foster camaraderie, even in the face of adversity.
