Soldiers fired from a tank claim compensation from the Russian Defense Ministry

6 2019 June 5

Three former conscripts who came under tank fire during the exercises require cash compensation from the Russian Ministry of Defense, the total amount of which is six million rubles. In a lawsuit, these claims are formulated as compensation for the criminal negligence of commanders.

About this edition RBC said the lawyer of the injured servicemen Dmitry Gerasimov.

This is a tragic incident that occurred in 2017 during tank firing. The position, where there were four privates participating in the exercises as part of the simulation team, was in the firing sector. The T-72 tank fired a smoke grenade at them, and then with a projectile.

As a result, Private Andrei Wittich died, and the other three were seriously injured. Private Dmitry Pakhmutov and Vadim Gabidullin became disabled, and Arsen Osmanov is still experiencing serious pain.

Colonels Viktor Krivoshein and Denis Gorelyshev, who were involved in the organization of the shooting, were guilty of what happened and got off three years on probation.

The head of the joint press service of the St. Petersburg courts, Daria Lebedeva, said that the claims of the soldiers who survived the shelling were registered, but have not yet been accepted for production.

And such a mess not only in Russia. I have not complied with the order - they can put you in prison, and if the commander gives a criminal order to him, dismissal or a suspended sentence. The army protects such freaks. When I served we had a saying:

Do not rush to fulfill the bad order - the RESET command will follow!

  If in the army ordinary soldiers begin to discuss all the orders given to them and do not follow them, then it will not be an army but an uncontrollable herd of rams, like the gang of Ataman Makhno, as he said there: anarchy is the mother of order, in your opinion the army should be like that, where no one orders anyone and no one obeys anyone, so what ??? A criminal order or not, this is not decided by a subordinate, but by authorized inspectors and the military prosecutor's office. So before you write such nonsense, first turn on your brains, unless of course you have them.

It's easy to be kind at someone else's expense! A young guy died, two others were disabled, and the commanders received conditionally! The court determined their guilt, this is not my opinion. So they are criminals, then you are a criminal if you defend them! And when young guys die in peacetime, it means someone gave a criminal order or committed criminal negligence! And do not be rude.

Parents give the army-generals living sons, from whom they are the only ones. And our generals are obliged to return them alive and healthy !!!! Parents need children and grandchildren, and the army returns the coffins and the disabled and for this conditionally? A law is needed so that sperm is taken away from conscripts, and if the soldier of the Moscow Region is killed, they must oblige to guarantee the continuation of the clan for their money. Parents need grandchildren, not street and school names! We are still a society with the right orientation.

  I am not a lawyer, but logically, if a person died a violent death, then someone should be punished for his murder, intentional or unintentional. In this case, these are the commanders who were responsible for organizing the firing, and therefore for the life and health of their subordinates. In this case, they are guilty of the unintentional killing of one person and causing serious damage to the health of three others. And as for compensation, I think this is disgusting on the part of the Moscow Region. The military department had to pay compensation on its own, without waiting for the guys to sue.
