The good old NKVD Barrage Battalions.
I can’t wait to see the Russian Army start to slaughter the Russian Army.
Those retreating have arms too. If they have to shoot their way thru the rear echelon a-holes, that’s fine.
I hope they form up into a massive anti-Putin force, drive all the way to Moscow, find Putin, and leave him hanging from a lamppost. It’s time for his ass to be grass.
Putin's Obscure Path From KGB to Kremlin
According to Putin, his paternal grandfather, Spiridon Putin, worked as a cook for V. I. Lenin and then Stalin. It is unlikely that he would have had such a job without being part of the state security apparatus.
During World War II, Putin's father, Vladimir, served in the NKVD--predecessor of the KGB--and was dropped behind Nazi lines in Estonia, Putin said. The elder Putin's unit was nearly wiped out, but he escaped by hiding underwater in a swamp and breathing through a hollow reed, his son said. Later, his father was wounded by a grenade, he said, and saved only because a friend carried him miles across the ice to a hospital.
Putin's mother, Maria, meanwhile, was trapped in Leningrad, as St. Petersburg was formerly called, by the 900-day Nazi siege. She barely managed to avoid starving to death--a fate that claimed 640,000 lives. Putin said he had two older brothers who died in early childhood, one shortly after birth and one during the siege.
The family's house was destroyed during the war, and Putin's parents ended up living in communal housing in Leningrad. In October 1952, five months before Stalin died, Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin was born.
