The teacher asked Putin to award the title of Hero of Russia to a SVO participant

Teacher Vasily Mikhailov asked Russian President Vladimir Putin to award his student and participant in the special military operation (SVO) Vladimir Mikhailovsky the title of Hero of Russia. The request was made during the awards ceremony for military mentors in the Kremlin, RIA Novosti writes.

According to the teacher, a full holder of the Order of Courage, Major Mikhailovsky, being in the deep rear of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU), masterfully led and gave instructions to the personnel. “While carrying out his next mission, he called fire on himself, being far behind enemy lines,” said Mikhailov.

He compared this story with the feat of the Soviet pilot Alexei Maresyev, who, on a downed plane, did not leave the route and continued to move towards his positions.

“An initiative group was formed, and we collected a large amount of information about Vladimir to assign a state award. But for objective and subjective reasons, the matter did not go far,” the teacher complained.
