These folks are the ultimate professionals!! Great respect! Such a contrast with the clown show that we have in the USSA.

Thanks, I know when I read these, I blink a lot to see through the tears. Russia is helping to create the next leaders of the nation who care about the people. My Amerika govt. elected officials only care about what in for them and not us citizens:-(

Thanks KS

Yes, I weep too at the stories I read and the level of integrity shown. I watched the video to see and listen to the poem—she had no notes, and you could hear the love in her words.

A far-sighted program of conversion of military experience into civilian competence.

"I had a personal reception of citizens every day."

When my father was a General Practitioner in the nascent National Health Service immediately after the war, he and his partner ran morning and evening 'surgeries' so that patients could come and be diagnosed and treated, an out of hours emergency service (evenings and weekends), and both a responsive immediate home visit service, and a regular rota for vulnerable patients. He had a little black book with columns to record for each patient when he was to visit and to record each visit. He told me that he had to be very careful in someone's home not to admire an antique or painting or any other valuable, else the patient gave it to him or left it to him in their will. All those services have now gone from a GP's responsibilities.

His military service had been, as a newly qualified doctor, to treat soldiers on the front and organise field hospitals wherever they went. [North Africa, Italy, France on D-Day, and medical reconnaissance [spying] in Belgium before military action began] This is where his public service ethic came from. Just like the Russian military 'Heroes' in this program.

"Iraid Alekseevna Dyomina, an anesthesiologist-resuscitator." had similar experience to my father. Her "moral purity" equates to a public service ethic.

Sakha (Yakutia) bigger than India: mind-blowing.

It seems a real preoccupation of VVP what happens to people after a war. I remember reading at the very beginning of the SMO that he required companies producing war equipment that they should provide for switching to civilian products when the war stuff wont be needed any more.

So using the experience soldiers gather in extremis in public service afterwards makes a lot of sense. With the additional benefit of not having soldiers with nothing to do on ones hands. Even if this excellence program concerns only a few, it is a good example for everyone else that you can still be of use to your people.

The Invincibles - Best Leader, Best Army, Best Armaments/Equipment.

Surely the last people on earth to pick a fight with, it's obvious, and yet our pathetic, soulless Representation believe otherwise.

Compulsory reading for the individual and collective. This is how a real/serious nation should function.

The greatest blessing the US & UK could give the world would be to sink. Neither contribute anything positive to mankind, just endless needless WAR.

Good Day Deputy Commander in Chief Kamala

I made it to the 2nd round of Time of Heroes Program America under Supreme Commander Yusuf Biden who turned up to congratulate us with a few words, well they weren't actual words, more of a head nod with his lips quivering and dribble down the left side of his chin.

Anyway I was on the frontline with several comrades in charge of lobbing Molotov Cocktails into Bank of America. When those ran out we continued with bricks.

My thanks to George Soros for sponsoring us. We were bussed in 40 strong but only 17 returned. I now propose to finish my law degree and represent those who are serving time in prison pro-bono.

Putin does this while Trump holds a loyalty to Trump event at Ft Bragg. The difference between countries just keeps getting broader and broader. An example was today at the doc’s office and we got to speaking about how pissed the people are with the health care industry as a whole. We’re a3rd world country at best sliding rapidly into tier 4

Note that the drive shared by all is to better Russia and Russians, not themselves through their positions since they understand that will come as a result of how they perform. The fundamental task of anyone in the military is to solve problems, not enrich yourself in the process as “Sgt Bilko”, Don Rickles character in “Kelly’s Heros” and of course the very famous “Cache-22”. Yes, Russians were found doing just that and were arrested. The vetting process to get into the Heros program is extremely strict. For the first cohort, over 44,000 applied but only 83 were chosen. As you read, some who didn’t quite make the cut reapplied and made it into the second cohort.

I think it’s safe to say Russians have a loyalty to their nation that’s 100% absent from here in the USA, particularly in government and big business.

The game has now changed with the Israeli attack against Iran. We will wake up to a different world reality tomorrow

I think it is all seeming a little orchestrated by a secret hand and parties are more in cahoots than opposing camps in a violent confrontation, many absurdities happen with no obvious explanation but the story continues.
