And he lifted up his thumb: “That was such a ceremony! Beautiful! “Delaying the head of Chechnya, none of the journalists did not dare to.

Therefore, the second president of the republic, Ramzan Kadyrov, who stopped to talk to the press only half a minute, said happily: “You know , we always … infringe Justice has triumphed! We are proud of the Chechen people happy and ready to serve our country, our Supreme Commander ».
Supreme Commander, as you know, he likes to call Vladimir Putin and himself – his” foot soldier ».
Despite the fact that the honorary title of Grozny was not awarded for a long time, the Russian president paid tribute before the Chechens and Ingush, stating that they “behaved very courageously, have proven to be brave warriors and defenders of the Fatherland.” “This is an obvious fact!” – He did not leave room for discussion.
The city of Grozny during the Great Patriotic War, the Red Army supplied the raw material, its inhabitants worked in the fortifications and put out fires after air raids. Take the city of the Germans did not succeed, so in October 1942 they bombed Grozny oil depots and refineries. From the spilled oil was burning even the river Sunzha. Within days, the fires were extinguished, and the work of industrial objects restored. Terrible once again started to supply the front with vital oil.
«Today we can say that the heroic city of Grozny, not only stopped the German aggressors, but also became the epicenter of the destruction of the plague of the XXI century – international terrorism. Over the past 20 years, twice – in 1994-1995-m and 1999-2000 m respectively – the territory of the Chechen capital became a battlefield for the integrity and indivisibility of the Russian Federation “, – stated on the website of the Chechen parliament.
Ramzan Kadyrov is convinced that “justice is done»
This is also at the ceremony of awarding diplomas said the mayor of the city (by the way, one of the youngest heads of Russian regional centers) Islam Kadyrov. “The Chechen Republic is famous for its heroes, including those who fell in the fight against terrorism”, – he said. Then, happily smiling and looking at Ramzan Kadyrov, he took his seat.
The very title of City of Military Glory was approved by the decree of the president of Russia in 2006 and is assigned “for the courage, fortitude and heroism.” Now there are about fifty of these cities. It should not be confused with another honorary title – the hero-city, approved in 1965. This title is only awarded to twelve cities, and that number is unlikely to change.
The ceremony of awarding diplomas Putin began almost immediately after laying a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Gatchina was first in line to receive diplomas. Head of the Municipality of Gatchina Filonenko Vitaliy minted every word: “Our town and village visited Gotchino and imperial residence, and the revolutionary Trotsky and the Soviet Krasnogvardeysky.” In August-September 1941, the defenders of Gatchina three weeks stopped the Germans, will complete the construction of the Pulkovo defensive line. After the Germans entered the city, were formed guerrilla units and underground.
The Chairman of the Feodosia City Council Svetlana Gevchuk, which appeared to receive a certificate for the whole Theodosia, excitedly thanked Putin for “Crimean Spring”, promised that “residents County will be worthy of the heroes, “and invited the President to visit the” ancient God-given city ».

The city of military glory were named as Petrozavodsk and Staraya Russa that was occupied by the Nazis after only a month and a half after the war began. It was an important strategic point and rail hub in the North-Western Front, which fought for the possession of the German and Soviet armies. All our attempts to retake the city were unsuccessful: Russa released only after 924 days – February 18, 1944. By this time in the city there was not a resident, and among the ruins of the house only four survived. Petrozavodsk also survived the difficult years of enemy occupation and was released in June 1944.
«How is it responding or should respond to the hearts and minds of ordinary citizens today? – Putin explained his decision to assign the honorary title of city. – If you are on this earth, my ancestors were heroes – hence, there is a part in me what I value and what I am proud of. This is the succession of generations ».
