Alexei Lipatov

[00:00.000 --> 00:13.000] Good afternoon, my name is Lepatov Aleksey Vladimirovich. I am the head of the law and law enforcement department of our college.

[00:13.000 --> 00:19.000] Tell me, what services did you serve?

[00:19.000 --> 00:31.000] I served in the national guard forces, they used to be called internal troops. There were a lot of duties, but then I will tell you the whole story.

[00:31.000 --> 00:48.000] I entered the Saratov Military Institute of Internal Forces in 1994. After 5 years, I finished it in 1999 and was directed to serve in the defense of special loads and important state facilities in the city of Moscow.

[00:48.000 --> 01:00.000] I served there until 2002, and after that I was transferred to Saratov for the duty of the commander of the Kursansk plant.

[01:00.000 --> 01:12.000] After that, I worked in the structures, worked with the personnel, studied in the military institute, defended the candidacy, became a candidate of pedagogical sciences.

[01:12.000 --> 01:20.000] After that, I worked for 4 years as a teacher in the city of Saratov, again in the institute.

[01:20.000 --> 01:35.000] I was transferred to Leningrad Oblast, to the city of Sosnovobor, where I served in the duty of the commander of the battalion for the work of special forces in the defense of important state facilities.

[01:35.000 --> 01:45.000] But then I was transferred to the commander of the battalion let alone in the facility.

[01:45.000 --> 01:58.000] After that, during the next 5 years, I served at the base of program of law in St. Petersburg.

[01:58.000 --> 02:08.000] A year of work in the duty of the deputy commander of the cadet tours of the St. Petersburg Military Institute, and after that, after 26 years of service, I went to the prison.

[02:08.000 --> 02:11.000] Do you participate in any military operations?

[02:11.000 --> 02:14.000] No, I did not participate in the military operations.

[02:14.000 --> 02:21.000] My only, so to speak, combat task, which I carried out throughout the year from 1999 to 2002,

[02:21.000 --> 02:31.000] was the protection of the values ​​of the state security guard of the Russian Federation, the cooperation of special cargo and protection of important state facilities.

[02:31.000 --> 02:39.000] This is also considered a combat task, but it is, of course, less meaningful than performing an immediate combat task with a risk of life.

[02:39.000 --> 02:43.000] Do you have any awards?

[02:43.000 --> 02:49.000] Well, the awards are mainly, so to speak, for the difference in service.

[02:49.000 --> 02:51.000] Well, the first, the second, the third degree.

[02:51.000 --> 02:56.000] One is the medal of the anniversary of the 80th anniversary of the Saratov Military Institute.

[02:56.000 --> 03:04.000] There is a sign for a difference in service in the second degree, and the second is the specialty of the second class.

[03:04.000 --> 03:25.000] Tell me, what do you think about the weapons that were found in the Soviet Union and in the Russian Federation, which are now available?

[03:25.000 --> 03:27.000] You know, a very interesting question.

[03:27.000 --> 03:37.000] I myself, to be honest, have repeatedly thought over this, which army was better, which one is more reliable and which one is more correct.

[03:37.000 --> 03:47.000] Well, most likely, the question should sound not as correct as what is more capable of protecting its fatherland at this time.

[03:47.000 --> 03:53.000] I will answer that both the Soviet Army and the Soviet Armed Forces and the modern Russian Armed Forces,

[03:53.000 --> 03:59.000] at the same level, could protect their fatherland at any time, at any place, at any place.

[03:59.000 --> 04:07.000] As for the ideological component, of course, in Soviet times it was more, so to speak, powerful, more significant,

[04:07.000 --> 04:14.000] because, after all, ideological upbringing always had a place, so to speak,

[04:14.000 --> 04:22.000] sometimes even more leading role in the upbringing of a person like this.

[04:22.000 --> 04:31.000] And the army service was already prepared practically from young, let's say, many, yes, from young children.

[04:31.000 --> 04:37.000] And the training at school, the same subject of the initial military training,

[04:37.000 --> 04:42.000] and training in more middle and special educational institutions, higher educational institutions,

[04:42.000 --> 04:48.000] so or otherwise, it contributed to the development of, well, most probably, military qualities,

[04:48.000 --> 04:53.000] rather than, let's say, civilian qualities. Well, although someone can, of course, argue with this attitude,

[04:53.000 --> 04:57.000] but this is my personal opinion, I will tell you in this case, this is my personal opinion.

[04:57.000 --> 05:06.000] As for the technical component of the Armed Forces, well, you understand, everything is going and developing a lot over time,

[05:06.000 --> 05:12.000] a lot with different technologies. At that time, it was believed that winged missiles,

[05:12.000 --> 05:19.000] like the same Tomahawk, Pesheng II, or, let's say, our winged missiles,

[05:19.000 --> 05:21.000] they were the top of perfection, yes.

[05:21.000 --> 05:27.000] Now the modern churches, Kinshal, they are on order higher, or maybe even a few orders higher,

[05:27.000 --> 05:31.000] all the existing weapons that were then.

[05:31.000 --> 05:36.000] The only thing that remained unchanged from those times, and here it is Kalashnikov's machine gun,

[05:36.000 --> 05:42.000] it is, as they say, an unchanged component of any Armed Forces,

[05:42.000 --> 05:48.000] and you know that even Kalashnikov's machine gun is on the yerba of some African states,

[05:48.000 --> 05:50.000] as a symbol.

[05:50.000 --> 05:59.000] As for patriotic upbringing, patriotic spirit, I believe that both in Soviet times and in modern Russia

[05:59.000 --> 06:04.000] this component of patriotic upbringing is quite strong enough,

[06:04.000 --> 06:09.000] because, as it were, the modern youth didn't say that it doesn't want to,

[06:09.000 --> 06:12.000] or that it can't, or that it doesn't know how to,

[06:12.000 --> 06:15.000] but I think that when, of course, it's not God's will,

[06:15.000 --> 06:20.000] that it's a great shame to be called to defend itself,

[06:20.000 --> 06:24.000] then I think that most of the young people, most of the young people,

[06:24.000 --> 06:27.000] most of the young people will stand on the protection of their Motherland,

[06:27.000 --> 06:31.000] just like they stood on the protection of their Motherland, our fathers, grandfathers and grandfathers,

[06:31.000 --> 06:35.000] the First World War, the Great Patriotic War, and many, many other conflicts

[06:35.000 --> 06:39.000] that took place on the territory of our country.

[06:39.000 --> 06:45.000] And that's why I think that both the Soviet Army and the Russian Army of the transition period

[06:45.000 --> 06:51.000] and the modern Russian Armed Forces were always able to defend their Motherland.

[06:51.000 --> 06:57.000] Of course, the technology doesn't stand still, but no matter what technology it is,

[06:57.000 --> 07:03.000] that, for example, separate parts of the Russian-China border are protected by robots.

[07:03.000 --> 07:08.000] But no matter what technology it is, drones, robots, high-precision missiles,

[07:08.000 --> 07:13.000] everything else is simple, in the end, at first, the buttons, the remote control,

[07:13.000 --> 07:15.000] the steering wheel, there is a person.

[07:15.000 --> 07:18.000] And this will be a rather long period of time,

[07:18.000 --> 07:23.000] therefore, the preparation of a citizen, the preparation of a person for military service

[07:23.000 --> 07:25.000] is still decisive.

[07:25.000 --> 07:31.000] And I think that in the modern world, in the modern Russia,

[07:31.000 --> 07:36.000] this is given a fairly large importance, a fairly large attention,

[07:36.000 --> 07:40.000] but I think that this will continue for a very, very long time.

[07:40.000 --> 07:44.000] Do you think that the Army should be present and obligatory

[07:44.000 --> 07:47.000] to go to the military service now?

[07:47.000 --> 07:50.000] I think that the Army should be professional.

[07:50.000 --> 07:53.000] Of course, from the point of view of professionalism,

[07:53.000 --> 07:57.000] in any case, according to the contract, it wins from the prisoner.

[07:57.000 --> 08:02.000] Well, at least the fact that it serves longer, that it, let's say,

[08:02.000 --> 08:05.000] receives certain financial pleasure from its service,

[08:05.000 --> 08:09.000] and I want to note a fairly small amount of financial pleasure,

[08:09.000 --> 08:14.000] even compared to such megapolis as Moscow and St. Petersburg.

[08:14.000 --> 08:18.000] On the other hand, the prisoner should also be a professional in his business.

[08:18.000 --> 08:24.000] And let him serve at least a year, he still has to master the type of weapons

[08:24.000 --> 08:28.000] that is entrusted to him, the technology that is entrusted to him.

[08:28.000 --> 08:33.000] Well, and probably, after all, he should strive to be better today

[08:33.000 --> 08:38.000] than he was yesterday, because only in the pursuit of progress,

[08:38.000 --> 08:41.000] the pursuit of progress shows the level of our development,

[08:41.000 --> 08:45.000] the level of our desire, the desire to be better, to be more reliable,

[08:45.000 --> 08:52.000] to be, probably, more developed, or something like that.

[08:52.000 --> 08:55.000] And what do you think about the case?

[08:55.000 --> 08:59.000] Is it worth serving in the Army, or are you just a man?

[08:59.000 --> 09:04.000] Well, you see, if we are talking about the service according to the invitation,

[09:04.000 --> 09:10.000] then, yes, it is really written in the Constitution, it is a duty of the Church.

[09:10.000 --> 09:13.000] That is, every citizen of the Russian Federation should, well,

[09:13.000 --> 09:17.000] the state of health should allow this duty to be given.

[09:17.000 --> 09:21.000] As for the girls, in general, the contract service, because after all,

[09:21.000 --> 09:26.000] I believe that in the contract service and in general in the army and in the contract,

[09:26.000 --> 09:29.000] fans of their business should go to serve.

[09:29.000 --> 09:32.000] That is, those who do not represent their life without this.

[09:32.000 --> 09:36.000] As for the girls, well, why not?

[09:36.000 --> 09:39.000] The Israeli army is a bright example for that.

[09:39.000 --> 09:43.000] There are quite a lot of girls in this army, they are considered to be decent,

[09:43.000 --> 09:46.000] well, in this army, and why, as they say, they are not.

[09:46.000 --> 09:53.000] Naturally, I agree that a girl may not be allowed to run a tank,

[09:53.000 --> 09:58.000] although, again, why not, the guards see their own knowledge,

[09:58.000 --> 09:59.000] skills and skills.

[09:59.000 --> 10:06.000] But I believe that on some duties, let's say,

[10:06.000 --> 10:10.000] not administrative duties, but, probably, administrative duties.

[10:10.000 --> 10:14.000] There, perhaps, the girls will be prepared for their accuracy,

[10:14.000 --> 10:18.000] firmness, responsibility, well, and, probably,

[10:18.000 --> 10:24.000] they will paint our life in the army, including,

[10:24.000 --> 10:28.000] from the point of view of their appearance, and so on.

[10:28.000 --> 10:31.000] What can you wish for the future of the President?

[10:31.000 --> 10:33.000] Can you give it to someone?

[10:33.000 --> 10:36.000] Well, for an impetus, I'm probably too young,

[10:36.000 --> 10:39.000] because, after all, impetus and prerogative are more solid adults.

[10:39.000 --> 10:41.000] What do I want to wish?

[10:41.000 --> 10:46.000] I want to wish to raise the sense of responsibility in myself,

[10:46.000 --> 10:54.000] to raise the sense of not only serving and everything,

[10:54.000 --> 10:58.000] but exactly the sense that you are doing your duty.

[10:58.000 --> 11:02.000] The duty is also quite a serious, rude word, in my opinion.

[11:02.000 --> 11:05.000] But you are doing your sacred duty,

[11:05.000 --> 11:09.000] because the service of your homeland, the service of the Fatherland,

[11:09.000 --> 11:10.000] is always and forever.

[11:10.000 --> 11:12.000] Moreover, pay attention.

[11:12.000 --> 11:15.000] No matter what public political situation was in the country,

[11:15.000 --> 11:17.000] who went to the attack on the tiredness,

[11:17.000 --> 11:19.000] with the name of the faith of the Tsar and the Fatherland,

[11:19.000 --> 11:22.000] or with the name of Stalin, or for the Motherland,

[11:22.000 --> 11:23.000] or for the Blue Plateau,

[11:23.000 --> 11:27.000] they always fought for the Fatherland, for Russia.

[11:27.000 --> 11:33.000] And the service of Russia, the service of its fatherland, was considered to be decent.

[11:33.000 --> 11:36.000] And the people who were engaged in this matter,

[11:36.000 --> 11:39.000] they always had a certain kind of respect.

[11:39.000 --> 11:41.000] And no matter how it was,

[11:41.000 --> 11:44.000] but, again, turning back to the history,

[11:44.000 --> 11:46.000] turning back to the teeth of the centuries,

[11:46.000 --> 11:48.000] you know that the Prince's friends,

[11:48.000 --> 11:49.000] the soldiers of the Prince's friends

[11:49.000 --> 11:51.000] were on a special shield.

[11:51.000 --> 11:57.000] The soldiers of the Russian Empire were on a special shield.

[11:57.000 --> 11:59.000] But the soldiers in the Soviet Union,

[11:59.000 --> 12:01.000] who served in the army,

[12:01.000 --> 12:03.000] were not only on a special shield,

[12:03.000 --> 12:05.000] but also used, so to speak,

[12:05.000 --> 12:07.000] as well as in the law enforcement agencies.

[12:07.000 --> 12:08.000] And in the modern world,

[12:08.000 --> 12:12.000] the servicemen who achieve certain positive results

[12:12.000 --> 12:16.000] in the service of the Fatherland also have

[12:16.000 --> 12:18.000] quite large privileges,

[12:18.000 --> 12:22.000] including if the serviceman recommends himself well

[12:22.000 --> 12:23.000] in the service,

[12:23.000 --> 12:26.000] he can receive a recommendation from the commander of the unit,

[12:26.000 --> 12:28.000] and this recommendation gives him the right

[12:28.000 --> 12:31.000] to a regular entry into the higher education institution

[12:31.000 --> 12:32.000] on a budget basis.

[12:32.000 --> 12:34.000] That is, it is necessary to serve.

[12:34.000 --> 12:36.000] To serve in the army in the army

[12:36.000 --> 12:39.000] will help make a real man,

[12:39.000 --> 12:42.000] check his readiness for adult life,

[12:42.000 --> 12:46.000] teach him the basics of holding a weapon,

[12:46.000 --> 12:48.000] and in the end,

[12:48.000 --> 12:50.000] he will have a warrior in him,

[12:50.000 --> 12:52.000] who, in a difficult minute,

[12:52.000 --> 12:53.000] in a difficult hour,

[12:53.000 --> 12:57.000] will be able to come to help his country,

[12:57.000 --> 12:58.000] to protect it,

[12:58.000 --> 12:59.000] not to leave it alone.

[12:59.000 --> 13:00.000] Well, again,

[13:00.000 --> 13:03.000] the modern social and political situation,

[13:03.000 --> 13:06.000] I'm not saying that we all have to take a weapon,

[13:06.000 --> 13:07.000] but we perfectly understand

[13:07.000 --> 13:09.000] that nothing is happening

[13:09.000 --> 13:11.000] at the border with the Russian Federation.

[13:11.000 --> 13:13.000] It is clear, in most cases,

[13:13.000 --> 13:14.000] it is all a bluff,

[13:14.000 --> 13:15.000] it is all just to hold a weapon,

[13:15.000 --> 13:18.000] to try to show your superiority

[13:18.000 --> 13:20.000] in those or other technologies.

[13:20.000 --> 13:21.000] But in any case,

[13:21.000 --> 13:23.000] to be able to protect your country,

[13:23.000 --> 13:25.000] to be able to protect your homeland,

[13:25.000 --> 13:26.000] in my opinion,

[13:26.000 --> 13:27.000] should be able to do it every day.

[13:27.000 --> 13:29.000] And I wish all my soul

[13:29.000 --> 13:30.000] to the future of our cleaners,

[13:30.000 --> 13:32.000] and more than one day,

[13:32.000 --> 13:33.000] on the holiday,

[13:33.000 --> 13:34.000] before the holiday,

[13:34.000 --> 13:36.000] during the Day of Defense of the Fatherland,

[13:36.000 --> 13:38.000] just to strive,

[13:38.000 --> 13:41.000] to be useful in your country,

[13:41.000 --> 13:43.000] to strive to develop

[13:43.000 --> 13:45.000] the knowledge, skills and skills

[13:45.000 --> 13:47.000] that allow you to do it.

[13:47.000 --> 13:49.000] Well, I want to congratulate them

[13:49.000 --> 13:50.000] on the upcoming holiday,

[13:50.000 --> 13:52.000] because sooner or later

[13:52.000 --> 13:53.000] they will all become

[13:53.000 --> 13:54.000] the defenders of the Fatherland,

[13:54.000 --> 13:55.000] and, accordingly,

[13:55.000 --> 13:57.000] join our big court,

[13:57.000 --> 13:59.000] which can be in the city,

[13:59.000 --> 14:00.000] head up,

[14:00.000 --> 14:03.000] say yes, I served,

[14:03.000 --> 14:04.000] yes, I will fulfill

[14:04.000 --> 14:06.000] my sacred duty,

[14:06.000 --> 14:07.000] and if the Motherland calls,

[14:07.000 --> 14:13.000] I am ready.
