thing happened 8 August 2008 in South Ossetia. Scout 71st Motorized Rifle Regiment Dashidorzhiev Bato was on duty at the checkpoint on the road from Gori to Tskhinvali - the capital of the unrecognized republic. Georgians, until then discarded from the capital, regrouped and set out to capture Tskhinvali try again. However, on the road, they came upon a roadblock, who arrived to help put the Russian military Ossetians.
Towards a convoy of cars, the eyeballs stuffed armed Georgians, left one soldier - Private Bato Dashidorzhiev. he shouted, that it was removed from the road, what Bato, spread wider feet for stability, He raised his gun and primordially Russian sent them in a certain direction.
While Georgians puzzled talking to each other, the situation had time to take a picture of who were traveling with the column foreign journalists, Then they tried to persuade stubborn Buryat give way. But the impression on him by representatives of the media were not able to produce and were also sent to hell.
As a result, half-hearted Georgians retreated. Although Bato was there all alone (not visible in the frame, but left behind him stood “Ural”, behind which lay his commander and another soldier), it does not diminish his courage. While Georgians decided, what to do next, to help our arrived, two T-72 tanks and T-62.
ordinary feat appreciated worldwide. «Russian 300 is not necessary enough for one» ("Russian and 300 do not, enough for one "), - wrote foreign media. The picture with the hero, Stop column technique, It circled almost the whole world.
"What thought this soldier? What he felt at that moment? Unless he was not scared? Does he did not want to live a long and happy life, to educate children and grandchildren?», - wondered foreign bloggers. Later, Russian President addressed the citizens of Mongolia, where Buryats believe siblings, with a request to award the title of Hero of the Russian warrior.
"Dear Vladimir Vladimirovich, sincerely beg to draw attention to the fact the heroic deed, committed by ordinary Bato Dashidorzhievym incurring during their service in the office entrusted to him. He single-handedly went to meet an entire column of infantry of the Georgian army, not allowing her to follow for further escalation of the conflict. In this way he prevented the deaths of hundreds and hundreds of civilians and soldiers on both sides. this feat, undoubtedly, worthy of the lofty title of Hero of Russia. is he, Russian heroic son, He died in that war, protecting innocent civilians Ossetia. I ask posthumously award the Hero, we believe in you ".
Unfortunately, the title Hero of Russia Dashidorzhievu, Esslin and usurp, only posthumously. Bato was killed in South Ossetia a few days later.
Georgia's invasion of South Ossetia called differently: Ossetians - genocide, Georgians - the restoration of the constitutional order, Russian official - forcing Georgia to peace, but for the whole world, this conflict is simply called "08.08.08". Our country has not abandoned the brotherly people are in trouble and sent an army to help him.
