Historical reference

formation. Neu-Timmen

74th separate training motorized rifle The regiment was formed in 1965 as part of the 2nd Guards Tank Army in Neu-Timmen (55 km north of Berlin) under the original name 30th OUMSP. The regiment was formed under the leadership of Lieutenant Colonel N.M. Bunin. On May 12, 1966, the Battle Banner with the inscription was presented "30th separate training motorized rifle regiment."

Cottbus

In September 1966, the regiment was redeployed to Cottbus, replacing the 118th Tank Training Regiment there. The regiment was reassigned. In March 1979, the regiment was reassigned to the Combat Training Directorate of the GSVG. Since March 1983, the regiment was again returned to the subordination of the 20th Guards Combined Arms Army. The regiment's training base during the years it was in Cottbus was a well-equipped training center and the Shtakov training ground 30 km north of Cottbus, where battalion-by-battalion groups went for a week.

In September 1967, the regiment's numbering was changed to 74th separate training motorized rifle regiment. The banner remained the same. The regiment remained in Cottbus until May 1980. After the regiment left, the 35th separate air assault brigade of the GSVG was stationed in the military town. In accordance with the decision of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the USSR, the 35th separate air assault brigade of group subordination and four separate air assault battalions of army subordination were formed in the GSVG in 1979 - 899 ODSB (3rd Guards Army, Burg); 900 ODSB (8th Guards Combined Arms Army, Leipzig); 1044 ODSB (1st Guards Tank Army, Forst Zinna - Königsbrück); 1185 ODSB (2nd Guards Tank Army, Ravensbrück).

Forst Cinna

From May 1980, the regiment was redeployed to Forst-Zinna near Uteborg, again replacing the 118th Training Tank Regiment there, where it was stationed until March 1983. The redeployment proceeded smoothly throughout the winter training period of 1979-1980. The transfer to Forst-Zinna near Uteborg was a difficult test for the permanent staff of the regiment, especially for family members of officers, but it took place in an organized manner and without deteriorating the quality of training for cadets. The regiment's training base when the regiment was in Forst-Zinna was the Heidehof and Uteborg training grounds.

Krampnitz

Since 1983, the regiment was located in the city of Krampnitz (Potsdam. Officers for the regiment were specially selected. Platoon commanders, as a rule, came with experience in military service. Sometimes, as an exception, they sent graduates - gold medalists from the Moscow Higher Military Education Institution named after the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR. In the 80s, officers without military service experience no longer got into the 74th OUMSP. Most company commanders were raised on the spot. The pay in training regiments was one step higher than in line regiments. Service in the regiment in officer positions for Most junior officers were a good recommendation for further study at military academies. After serving in the regiment, many senior officers rose to high ranks and senior positions in the Army. Other military leaders emerged from the regiment. These are Army General, Chief of the General Staff Lobov, Vladimir Nikolaevich; General Colonel Kasperovich, Grigory Pavlovich, Major General, military commandant of the NKAO Zhinkin; Major Generals Borisov, Terekhov, Rudov, and others.

The best graduates, commanders and specialists, were selected primarily for the “elite”, “royal” and “court” units of the 6th Guards Berlin Order of Bohdan Khmelnitsky separate motorized rifle brigade, 69th Guards Motorized Rifle Regiment (Wünsdorf), 10th Separate Tank Battalion (Berlin), 81st Petrokovsky Motorized Rifle Regiment (Eberswalde) 6th Guards Motorized Rifle Division, etc. In December 1990, the 74th Separate Training Motorized Rifle Regiment was disbanded. The regiment's Battle Banner was deposited in the Central Museum of the Armed Forces.

74th GUARDS MOTORIZED RIFLE BRIGADE

74TH GUARDS MOTORIZED RIFLE BRIGADE

24.03.2015


The motorized rifle brigade stationed in Yurga became the first unit of the Central Military District to be completely re-equipped with deeply modernized T-72B3 tanks. Recently, more than 20 vehicles produced by the Uralvagonzavod corporation were delivered by rail to the unloading station.
The previously received first batch of 15 tanks has already been handed over to the crews, who, together with technical support specialists, have completed an additional training course.
A separate guards motorized rifle Zvenigorod-Berlin brigade of the Orders of Kutuzov and Suvorov, II degree, has been stationed in the city of Yurga since January 1, 1993. Participated in counter-terrorism operations in the North Caucasus. For their heroism and courage, 3.5 thousand military personnel of the formation were awarded state awards. Five of them were awarded the high title of Hero of Russia.

Military formations are also preparing for the festive celebrations dedicated to Victory Day. Our fellow countrymen, both conscripts and contract workers, serve mostly away from home. Therefore, the Tomsk Regional Committee of Parents of Military Personnel found out with what mood and under what conditions Tomsk citizens living according to the regulations will celebrate May 9: the 74th Yurga Motorized Rifle Brigade was recently visited by the leaders of the Committee of Tomsk Soldiers' Mothers and activists of the committee, whose sons died performing military duty.

Duty and Honor

The 74th separate Yurga motorized rifle brigade is a renowned military unit. It is not for nothing that its emblem is accompanied by the words “Duty and Honor.” On December 23, 1994, soldiers and officers of the brigade were among the first in the Russian army to be transferred to the vicinity of the rebellious Republic of Chechnya. On New Year's Eve, a brigade consisting essentially of Siberians entered Grozny. To say “entered” is not entirely correct, and neither those who stormed the capital of Chechnya nor their parents can find the right words. Almost 20 years later, they still prefer not to remember those events. Not because they are ashamed, but because there is too much grief and pain in their heroism.

The heroism of the soldiers and officers of the brigade is evidenced by the fact that for the restoration of peace in the North Caucasus, the military unit was awarded the Order of Kutuzov by presidential decree. 3.5 thousand (!) military personnel of the brigade received military awards, five were awarded the title of Hero of Russia, four of them posthumously. Losses in both Chechen campaigns exceeded 240 people, of which about 25 were residents of the Tomsk region.

The acquaintance of the current chairman of the Tomsk Regional Committee of Parents of Military Personnel, Lidia Alexandrova, with the “Yurginians” began right at the end of 1994. Then untrained, half-naked and half-starved soldiers and officers were hastily gathered to Chechnya, supposedly to stand in a cordon during military operations. At that time, 35 brigade officers wrote a report on leaving the Armed Forces, understanding how this “cordon” would end. For many 18-year-old boys, their mothers came and took them away from the unit. The general atmosphere in the barracks and on the parade ground is chaos mixed with despondency and hopelessness. Even greater chaos awaited those who did not write a report and did not go home with their parents.

“Already on January 13, 1995, our committee, then headed by Tatyana Sobolevskaya, brought the first humanitarian aid to the “Yurga residents,” recalls Lydia Alexandrova. – The brigade took part in terrible battles for Grozny, there were many dead and wounded, mothers searched for missing people in morgues and hospitals...

And after Grozny there was the Tersky Range, the Vvedenskoye and Argun gorges... Mothers had to shed more than one tear and deliver more than one humanitarian cargo to their children. In total, seven batches of food and medicine were sent, purchased with sponsors’ money, from 1995 to 2000. Tomsk residents helped their own as best they could and in whatever way they could. This can be compared to the connection between the front and the rear, and this connection, at least to some extent, encouraged our guys, made it clear that they were not abandoned, they were expected alive and unharmed.

The fighting in Chechnya ended unnoticed by society, without capitulations or fireworks. They simply switched to the format of a counter-terrorist operation in the North Caucasus and shifted territorially. Today Grozny is perhaps the safest city in the entire south of Russia. Our guys from the 74th Yurga motorized rifle brigade made it this way.

War is war, but lunch is on the menu

The war is over, but the problems in the army are not. Hazing, disgusting supplies, lack of control on the part of commanders - all this made the army a real scarecrow in the eyes of conscripts and their parents. Lidia Alexandrova recalls: back in the 2000s, serving in Yurga was not prestigious. The guys wanted to get into the Navy or the airborne troops, but not into the ground forces, fearing being sent to the 74th Brigade.

Now the situation has changed dramatically: many recruits who go to training centers in Omsk, Chita and Ulan-Ude want to serve in Yurga. This desire is justified, because the team of yesterday and the team of today are two different lives. Representatives of the Tomsk Committee of Soldiers' Mothers could not believe their eyes when they saw that conscript soldiers did not live in barracks, but in cubicles built like sectional buildings. Each room has three beds, a toilet, a shower. The only things the guys have in common are the living quarters and the dining room. The local catering, by the way, also amazed the Tomsk delegation: a choice of three first and three second courses, salads and cold appetizers - without restrictions, butter, sour cream, cheese, juice - in individual packaging. The contract soldiers of this unit live in the city - in rented apartments and in everyday matters they do not interact with conscripts at all. Thus, the lion's share of disciplinary issues disappeared by themselves.

“I thought they were showing us Potemkin villages, but I walked around all the floors of the dormitory for military personnel, the entire dining room - everything was orderly and clean, everywhere there were ideal conditions for living and eating,” says deputy chairman of the committee Zinaida Krutikova.

Her words are confirmed by Lidiya Alexandrova, clarifying that the situation in the army began to change before our eyes after the Ministry of Defense was headed by Sergei Shoigu. Of course, the Committee of Soldiers' Mothers continues to receive alarming signals about violations of discipline, poor nutrition and inappropriate uniforms. Social activists respond to them, go out with inspections, and on the spot understand both the situation and the commanders. For example, last fall we worked in the Novosibirsk part. Much in this process depends on both the human factor and the position of commanders; much can be explained by years of stagnation in the troops.

“Not in all units we are welcome, not everywhere they are waiting for us, and in some places they don’t even open the doors,” continues Lydia Alexandrova. – The vice-governor of the region Vyacheslav Semenchenko and the regional executive committee of United Russia help us in our work. If the command of some unit refuses to let us into the territory, then, by agreement with the Tomsk United Russia members, they give us a guide - an employee of the local party branch. Then at the checkpoint they look at us more friendly and the doors open.

Having organized a decent life and modern conditions of service, the brigade does not forget about its history and tells it to recruits. Two steles with the names of fallen soldiers and officers, a museum of military glory, which contains books with stories about Tomsk citizens who fought under the banner of the brigade, documentary evidence of the heroism of military personnel - this adds prestige to the unit and patriotism to the military collective.

“We want all military units to look the same as the 74th Motorized Rifle Brigade,” says Lydia Alexandrova and adds: “So that our guys serve in such an army.”

In December 2013, the military council of the Central Military District, summing up the results of combat training and everyday life, recognized the 74th motorized rifle brigade as the best unit of the Central Military District.

More than 12 thousand people took part in the fighting in the North Caucasus as part of the brigade.

During the first Chechen campaign, the Yurga brigade lost a lot of guys, and the General Staff raised the question of its disbandment. We wrote a letter to the military department asking not to do this, which caused great surprise to our military leaders. In those years, public organizations were negatively disposed towards the army and called for the disbandment and closure of units. Our opinion was listened to, and today we see that the 74th Brigade is both a symbol of the military glory of Siberians and one of the most combat-ready army formations.

The location of the 74th Separate Guards Zvenigorod-Berlin Order of Suvorov 2nd Degree Motorized Rifle Brigade, or military unit 21005, is the city of Yurga, Kemerovo Region. The unit is part of the 41st Separate Army of the Central Military District.

Story

The beginning of the formation of the 74th motorized rifle brigade can be considered the 94th rifle division, created in April 1943. Then it included marines who took part in the battles of Stalingrad, soldiers of the 12th and 96th naval rifle brigades. The unit took its first battle on the Kursk Bulge in 1943, and literally a few months later it was already liberating Kharkov and Belgorod.
During the Second World War, the 94th Division took part in the battles for Chisinau, for many Polish cities, and also stormed Berlin. For the heroism shown in the battle for the village of Zvenigorodka, the formation received the name “Zvenigorodskaya”. The unit was awarded the Order of Suvorov, 2nd degree, for crossing the Dniester in 1944. The second name - "Berlin" division was awarded for the storming of the German capital and breaking through the enemy defenses on the Odra.

Awarding the 74th Motorized Rifle Brigade with the Order of Kutuzov

From 1945 to 1992, the location of the then 94th Infantry Division was Germany. In 1993, the unit's troops were withdrawn from the Western Group of Forces and transferred to the Kemerovo region. In 1993, the unit was reorganized into the 74th Motorized Rifle Brigade, which was joined by the 386th Tank Regiment and the 85th Motorized Rifle Division.
From the autumn of 1999 to the spring of 2001, the officers and soldiers of the formation were involved in the anti-terrorist operation in the North Caucasus, including the assault on Grozny.
To date, military unit 21005 is the only formation of the Central Military District that has undergone complete rearmament. The unit received the latest combat vehicles and military weapons, and officers and soldiers underwent a retraining course for military personnel.
Currently, the formation consists of motorized rifle and tank battalions, artillery battalions and several support companies.

Part Day Celebrations

Eyewitness impressions

Those who served in military unit 21005 note that military personnel, both contract and urgent conscription, live in block-type dormitories. Cubic rooms are designed for 5-6 people, there are 2 of them in one block. Bathroom, dryer, shower - one per block.
There is no canteen on the territory of the hostel; it is located in a separate building. Civilians are involved in cooking; soldiers do not have kitchen duties. However, they carry out park and maintenance work, just like cleaning the blocks in the hostel.
In addition to the canteen, soldiers can eat in a teahouse or make purchases at a local “chip” during their unit. Other infrastructure facilities in the garrison include a House of Culture, a library and a first-aid post.

Block room-kubrick

The training program includes classes in military affairs, physical training and field shooting. The latter, which is typical, are carried out quite often, since a training ground is located at military unit 21005.
Soldiers are allowed to leave on a first-come, first-served basis, but only after the oath of office, which takes place on Saturday. Relatives who are planning to attend this event are advised to take warm clothes with them. The fighter’s details and the oath table can be viewed in the lists at the checkpoint. Another point about layoffs that eyewitnesses mention is the possibility of leave of up to 14 days, which is provided only for family reasons. During the rest of the service, meetings with relatives are possible at the checkpoint in the visiting room, from 11.00 to 13.00 and from 15.00 to 18.00.

Calls to relatives are allowed in the evenings, from 18.00 to 21.00, but it is better not to give the SIM card to the soldier, but to purchase it on the spot before the oath along with the phone, because Before the oath, contact with relatives is prohibited.

Only men are accepted for contract service in this unit. Financial assistance in the amount of 2 salaries is paid once a year, and “lifting” when concluding a contract for the first time is paid once. In addition, military personnel receive compensation for daily rations, rental housing outside the military camp and travel allowances.
There is no military hospital in Yurga, the nearest medical center is the regional hospital (Shosseyny Lane, 8) and the hospital in Novosibirsk. Soldiers stay at the unit's first aid station for only 15 days; in case of serious illnesses, patients are sent to Novosibirsk.

Cash subsidies for fixed-term and contract employees are credited to the card of Uralsibbank, whose ATM is located next to the checkpoint. For withdrawals from cards of other banks, a commission is charged, set by the organization that issued the card. ATMs of other banks in Yurga:
1. VTB-24:

• st. Moskovskaya, 11 (from 9.00 to 19.00);
• st. Turgeneva, 42-g (from 8.00 to 20.00).

The first to leave Khankala was a train with servicemen and military equipment from the 74th Motorized Rifle Brigade of the Siberian Military District.

The command - "to the carriages!" The Yurga 74th Motorized Rifle Brigade has been waiting since September 13, 1999. For at least five thousand of its fighters, the war in Chechnya has already ended. They'll be home in about a week.

The field cockades for ordinary soldiers of the 74th Yurga Brigade were changed only before boarding the carriages. Previously, they did not do this, so as not to jinx the sending home. The 74th brigade is the first of the units of the combined group to return to its place of permanent deployment.

SOLDIER: “Today is a very happy day. We waited a lot, a long time, endured a lot. But in principle, everything is fine.”

The brigade entered Chechnya in the fall of 99, and since then, as the soldiers say, they have not stood still. They fought along the Tersky Range, took Grozny, and cleared the Vedenskoye and Argun gorges. In one and a half goals of fighting, the 74th lost more than a hundred people.

Preparations for the shipment took place in conditions of increased secrecy. The command was afraid of provocations and forbade the soldiers to write about being sent home. Already at the entrance to the military base in Khankala, the convoy was fired upon. Two people were injured. The officers assure that they will celebrate farewell to Chechnya at home, but the conductors of their train are confident that it will be a fun flight. After all, the soldiers are not going to Chechnya, but back.

The 74th brigade was escorted home by the group's commander, General Baranov, and the head of the Chechen administration, Akhmad Kadyrov. In their opinion, the reduction of the group will not cause any intensification of militants.

VALERY BARANOV, commander of the joint group: “If we had fears that the situation would change, we would not have done this. But we are confident that the situation is stable today and will stabilize further.”

After sending the soldiers, the head of Chechnya, Akhmad Kadyrov, said that he hoped to persuade the famous field commander Ruslan Gelayev to stop resistance.

Today only the first echelon with people and equipment of the 74th brigade left Chechnya. There will be 11 of them in total.

The commander of the North Caucasus Military District, Gennady Troshev, spoke today in an interview with our television company about how the partial reduction of the surplus forces of the Joint Group will take place.

GENNADY TROSHEV, commander of the troops of the North Caucasus Military District: “Today the first military unit is being loaded onto the train, which literally tomorrow or the day after tomorrow will arrive at the place of permanent deployment. This will happen daily, weekly, monthly. But we are doing this wisely, within reasonable limits, that’s why the number of troops that will remain will be sufficient to give an adequate response to those who try to do something against the troops and against the civilian population."
