An excerpt characterizing Serdyukov, Andrey Nikolaevich
– Well, of course, Isidora, because it was their home! And that is where Magdalene returned. But it would be wrong to give credit only to the gifted. After all, even ordinary peasants learned reading and writing from the Cathars. Many of them knew the poets by heart, no matter how crazy it sounds to you now. It was a real dreamland. Country of Light, Knowledge and Faith created by Magdalene. And this Faith spread surprisingly quickly, attracting into its ranks thousands of new "cathars" who were just as ardently ready to defend the Knowledge they gave, as they were the Golden Mary who gave it ... The teachings of Magdalene swept through the countries like a hurricane, one thinking person. Aristocrats and scientists, artists and shepherds, farmers and kings joined the ranks of the Cathars. Those who had, easily gave their riches and lands to the Qatari “church”, so that its great power would strengthen, and so that the Light of its Soul would spread throughout the Earth.– Forgive me for interrupting, Sever, but did the Cathars also have their own church?.. Was their teaching also a religion?
– The concept of “church” is very diverse, Isidora. It was not the church as we understand it. The Church of the Cathars was Magdalene herself and her Spiritual Temple. That is, the Temple of Light and Knowledge, as well as the Temple of Radomir, whose knights were the Templars at first (King of Jerusalem Baldwin II called the Templars of the Knights of the Temple. Temple - in French - the Temple.) They did not have a specific building in which people would come to pray . The Church of the Cathars was in their soul. But it still had its own apostles (or, as they were called, the Perfect Ones), the first of which, of course, was Magdalene. Perfect people were those who reached the highest levels of Knowledge and devoted themselves to its absolute service. They continuously perfected their Spirit, almost giving up physical food and physical love. The perfect ones served people, teaching them their knowledge, healing the needy and protecting their wards from the tenacious and dangerous paws of the Catholic Church. They were amazing and selfless people, ready to the last to defend their Knowledge and Faith, and the Magdalene who gave them this. It is a pity that there are almost no diaries left of the Cathars. All that we have left is the records of Radomir and Magdalene, but they do not give us the exact events of the last tragic days of the courageous and bright Qatari people, since these events took place already two hundred years after the death of Jesus and Magdalene.
- Tell me, Sever, how did the Golden Mary die? Who had such a black spirit to raise his dirty hand against this wonderful woman? ..
– The Church, Isidora... Unfortunately, the same Church!.. She went berserk, seeing in the person of the Cathars the most dangerous enemy, gradually and very confidently occupying her “holy” place. And realizing her imminent collapse, she no longer calmed down, trying to destroy Magdalene in any way, rightly considering her the main culprit of the “criminal” teaching and hoping that without their Guiding Star, the Cathars would disappear, having neither a leader nor Faith. The Church did not understand how strong and deep the Teaching and Knowledge of the Cathars was. That it was not a blind "faith", but a way of their life, the essence of what they lived for. And therefore, no matter how hard the "holy" fathers tried to win over the Cathars, in the Pure Land of Occitania there was not even an inch of land for the false and criminal Christian Church...
- It turns out that not only Karaffa did this?! .. Has it always been like this, Sever? ..
Real horror seized me when I presented the whole global picture of betrayals, lies and murders that the “holy” and “forgiving” Christian faith committed, trying to survive! ..
– How is this possible? How could you watch and not interfere? How could you live with this without going crazy, Sever?!
He did not answer, knowing full well that this was just a “cry from the soul” of an indignant person. Yes, and I knew his answer very well ... Therefore, for some time we were silent, like lonely souls lost in the dark ...
– So how did the Golden Mary die? Can you tell me about it? – unable to withstand the protracted pause, I asked again.
Sever nodded sadly, showing that he understood...
- After the Magdalene's teaching occupied more than half of what was then Europe, Pope Urban II decided that further delay would be like death for his beloved "most holy" church. Having carefully thought out his diabolical plan, he, without delay, sent to Occitania two faithful "fosters" of Rome, whom Magdalene knew as "friends" of the Cathars. And again, as it happened too often, wonderful, bright people became victims of their purity and honor ... Magdalena accepted them into her friendly embrace, generously providing them with food and a roof. And although bitter fate had taught her to be a not too gullible person, it was impossible to suspect anyone, otherwise her life and her Teaching would have lost all meaning. She still believed in GOOD, no matter what...
And then I saw them again... At the exit of the cave stood Magdalena and her golden-haired daughter, who at that moment was already 11-12 years old. They stood, embracing, all the same alike and beautiful, and watched the last breathtaking moment of the amazing Occitan sunset. The cave at the entrance to which they stood was very high in the mountains, opening directly onto a steep cliff. And in the distance, as far as the eye could see, shrouded in a haze of evening fog, the mountains shone majestically blue. Proudly frozen like gigantic monuments of eternity and nature, they remembered the wisdom and courage of Man... Only not the one who lived now, killing and betraying, dominating and destroying. And they remembered a strong and creative Man, loving and proud, who created a wonderful kingdom of Mind and Light on this small but beautiful piece of Earth...
Right in front of Magdalene, at the very top of a man-made hill, her favorite castle towered - the fortress of Montsegur... For more than eight long years, this friendly and impregnable fortress was her real home... The home of her beloved daughter, the haven of her friends and the Temple of her love. Her memoirs were kept in Montsegur - the most precious relics of her life, her teachings and her family. All her Perfect Ones gathered there to purify their Souls and gain Life-Giving Power. There she spent her most precious, most peaceful hours from the bustle of the world...

On September 30, the media reported on the upcoming appointment. The main candidate for this high position is Lieutenant General Andrei Serdyukov. The current commander, Colonel-General Vladimir Shamanov, will head the defense committee in the State Duma of the new convocation.
At the end of 2012, information was already published about a possible change in the leadership of the Airborne Forces. With reference to the candidacy of General Andrei Serdyukov (then commander of the 5th Army of the Eastern Military District). And many more are haunted by the surname, but there is no family connection with Anatoly Serdyukov, who previously served as Minister of Defense. And yet: what kind of person is Lieutenant General Andrei Serdyukov?
If you collect all the available information, Andrey Serdyukov is a man of an analytical mindset, tested and tempered by three decades of officer service in a difficult time for the country. A supporter of a professional army and consistent reform of the armed forces. His team experience was reflected in the decisions and actions in the Crimean direction in the spring of 2014.
In 2009 he graduated from the Military Academy of the General Staff of the RF Armed Forces. This is the highest level of military education in our country. He commanded the 5th Combined Arms Army in the Far East. In October 2013, he was appointed chief of staff of the Southern Military District, six months remained before the return of Crimea to the Russian Federation.
Please note that the chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces Valery Gerasimov and the head of the Military Academy of the General Staff Sergei Makarov passed the responsible post of chief of staff of the Southern Military District (formerly the North Caucasus).
Return of Crimea
According to information leaked to the media, Lieutenant General Andrei Serdyukov led a special operation in Crimea in the spring of 2014, that is, he ensured the peaceful return of Crimea to Russia.
Perhaps that is why the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine Oleksandr Turchynov noted with fear in his article on the departmental website: “During the summer of 2015, cardinal changes took place in the nature of Russian participation in hostilities in eastern Ukraine. The Armed Forces of Ukraine are now opposed by ... structured military units of the regular army of the Russian Federation ... The staffing of two corps is up to 35 thousand people ... The command of the entire grouping of the occupying Russian troops is carried out by Colonel General Andrei Nikolayevich Serdyukov.
It is clear that the National Security and Defense Council and the leadership of Ukraine need to somehow explain to fellow citizens and American sponsors the military failures in the Donbass. And yet, Andrei Serdyukov is still a lieutenant general, and no one has been able to prove "Russian aggression".
Meanwhile, on September 16, Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko proposed to the National Security and Defense Council a bill on the state budget for 2017, providing for 5% of GDP for the security and defense sector and 1.1 billion hryvnias (about $42.4 million) to repay defense loans.
Five percent of GDP is 2.5 more than NATO countries spend on defense. The vector of efforts is obvious. And it is possible that Lieutenant General Andrei Serdyukov will still arrive in Ukraine with a peacekeeping mission. In the meantime, the paratroopers are routinely engaged in combat training at home, near Ryazan.
Lots of work ahead
The airborne troops include four divisions, five brigades and other formations. The number of airborne forces after the reorganization will reach 60 thousand military personnel. More than 52% of the personnel serve under the contract, that is, professionally.
The Airborne Forces were perhaps the first in the armed forces to master the components of a unified command and control system at the tactical level (ESU TZ), the Andromeda-D complex specially developed for paratroopers.
Airborne units are armed with modern tanks, airborne combat vehicles (BMD-2 and BMD-4), armored personnel carriers (BTR-MDM "Rakushka"), anti-aircraft missile system "Strela-10", self-propelled guns (120-mm 2S9 "Nona- S" and 125-mm 2S25 "Sprut-SD"), unmanned aerial vehicles. Ahead is further rearmament and technical re-equipment, increased troop mobility.
The Airborne Forces are a mobile branch of the armed forces designed to perform combat missions behind enemy lines, as well as to act as a reserve of the Supreme High Command. The Airborne Forces can be used to seize administrative and political centers, industrial facilities, enemy aviation and naval base areas, to seize and hold crossings on water barriers, mountain passes, transport hubs and communications, to destroy nuclear attack weapons, power plants and other important objects.
“The candidacy of the new commander of the Airborne Forces has been determined, it should be the chief of staff - the first deputy commander of the troops of the Southern Military District, Colonel General Andrei Serdyukov. It is expected that he will be officially appointed in October,” the source said.
On the website of the Ministry of Defense, the biography section in Serdyukov's profile is not filled out. In October 2013, when Serdyukov, still in the rank of lieutenant general, was appointed deputy commander of the Southern Military District, the agencies reported that he was born in 1962 in the Rostov region, graduated from the Ryazan Higher Airborne Command School in 1983, “went from the platoon commander to the commander of the airborne division. In 1993, Serdyukov graduated from the Frunze Military Academy, in 2009 -. Since 2011, he commanded a combined arms army in the Eastern Military District. Serdyukov was transferred to the Southern Military District in February 2013.
The rank of colonel general was awarded to Serdyukov by presidential decree in June last year.
In August 2015, the secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine stated that Serdyukov exercises "command of the entire group of occupying Russian troops" in eastern Ukraine under the pseudonym Sedov.
In turn, the Ministry of Defense has repeatedly officially denied the presence of the Russian military in the conflict zone in the Donbass. on Friday, referring to anonymous interlocutors in the leadership of the armed forces, they wrote that Serdyukov led a special operation in Crimea in 2014, during the annexation of the peninsula to Russia.
The immediate current head of the future head of the Airborne Forces, the commander of the troops of the Southern Military District, Colonel-General in September 2015 was appointed to command the Russian group of troops in Syria.
Units, formations and formations of the Southern Military District are deployed in the most important South-Western strategic direction, Colonel General Sergei, ex-commander of the North Caucasian Military District, explained to Gazeta.Ru. Previously, the North Caucasian, and then its successor, the Southern Military District (SMD) were and remain a priority in terms of the development of the Armed Forces.
“This is where modern weapons and military equipment come first. It is in the South-Western strategic direction that new formations are currently being formed, which include both one of the most combat-ready formations and units of the Russian army, as well as newly formed divisions and brigades, ”said Makarov.
According to him, the 150th Idritsko-Berlin motorized rifle division is now being recreated, which will be deployed in the Rostov region. In the south of the Voronezh and Belgorod regions, infrastructure is being actively built to accommodate the 10th Guards Tank Division. All divisions being formed will have three motorized rifle and one tank regiment (if the division is motorized rifle) or three tank and one motorized rifle regiment (if the division is tank). Plus self-propelled artillery and anti-aircraft missile regiments, as well as all the separate battalions and divisions laid down by the state - engineering, reconnaissance, communications, anti-tank, medical and other purposes.
According to the website of the Ministry of Defense, the Southern Military District includes two combined arms armies, the 4th Army of the Air Force and Air Defense, the Black Sea Fleet, the Caspian Flotilla, as well as separate parts of logistics, military branches and special forces.
The beginning of Serdyukov's career had to serve in the 76th airborne division stationed in the Pskov region, the former commander of the division, Major General, confirmed. During the armed conflict in Chechnya, the future general served as deputy commander of an airborne regiment.
"It was a long time ago. I remember an episode when he personally, together with a platoon, captured the guns that were shelling the road. I'm just glad. This is a worthy candidate,” said the former commander of the Pskov paratroopers.
He clarified that later Serdyukov commanded not an airborne division, but a motorized rifle division.
After serving in the Airborne Forces, Serdyukov commanded the 138th separate motorized rifle brigade in Kamenka, Leningrad Region, the former chief of staff of the Leningrad Military District, Colonel General, told Gazeta.Ru.
“I am well acquainted with Andrei Nikolaevich. This is a great officer. Honest, very hard working. It is very good that he passed the tactical level in the Ground Forces. This is a very good combination - the Airborne Forces and the Ground Forces, - said Kizyun.
- I will say this about Andrei Nikolaevich: he knows and loves military craft. Able to solve complex problems in asymmetric wars.
Without any exaggeration, this will be an excellent appointment. I am proud to know Andrey Nikolaevich. If the Supreme Commander chooses him, it will be the right decision.”
Serdyukov came to the post of division commander after graduating from the Military Academy of the General Staff, the ex-commander-in-chief of the Ground Forces, General of the Army, specified.
“I can say this about Serdyukov: a good man and an excellent commander. I believe he will fully justify the trust of the president of the country and the leadership.”
While studying at the Military Academy of the General Staff, Serdyukov was the foreman of the course, one of the interlocutors of Gazeta.Ru said. According to him, this freelance position is usually assigned to the most deserving student, with an impeccable track record and rich combat experience.
The leadership of the Ministry of Defense sees Lieutenant General Andrei Serdyukov, chief of staff and first deputy commander of the Southern Military District (SMD), as the new commander of the Russian Airborne Forces. The 53-year-old general went through all command positions and also led a special operation in Crimea in the spring of 2014. The submission for the appointment of Serdyukov has already been sent to the head of state.
“At present, the decision to appoint Andrey Serdyukov has already been made at the level of the Ministry of Defense,” a high-ranking source familiar with the situation told Izvestia. - We are waiting for the decree of the President of Russia, since officers in positions from the division commander and above are appointed only by order of the commander-in-chief. And the Airborne Forces have a special status, being the reserve of the Supreme Commander. Therefore, officers nominated for the post of commander of the Airborne Forces are personally coordinated with the head of state.
According to Izvestia, Andrey Serdyukov has already left the Southern Military District and arrived at the headquarters of the Airborne Forces in Sokolniki.
Press Secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov did not refute the information about the appointment of Andrei Serdyukov to the post of commander of the Airborne Forces, while noting that the Kremlin traditionally prefers not to announce personnel changes.
As the official representative of the Airborne Forces, Irina Kruglova, said, until the presidential decree on the appointment is received by the Airborne Forces, Colonel General Vladimir Shamanov remains in command of the troops.
Graduated from the Ryazan Higher Airborne Command School (RVVDKU) in 1983, General Serdyukov went through all positions from the commander of a reconnaissance platoon to the commander of the combined arms army of the Eastern Military District (VVO). He graduated from two military academies - the Combined Arms and the General Staff, and then became the chief of staff of the Southern Military District. As several high-ranking interlocutors of Izvestia noted, it was General Serdyukov who led and implemented a special operation in the Crimea in the spring of 2014, the level of organization and elaboration of the details of which was highly appreciated by military analysts around the world.
According to Izvestia, along with Serdyukov, Lieutenant General Mikhail Teplinsky and Lieutenant General Andrei Kholzakov were considered for the post of commander of the Airborne Forces.
“As the experience of the operation in Crimea has shown, Andrei Serdyukov keeps the main tradition of the Airborne Troops — in a difficult situation, on his own, without waiting for a decision from a higher command, to take responsibility and make decisions,” said military expert Vladislav Shurygin.
The current commander of the Russian Airborne Forces, Colonel-General Vladimir Shamanov, was approved by the Presidium of the General Council of United Russia as a candidate for the position of head of the defense committee in the State Duma of the new convocation. Officially, the full composition of the State Duma at the plenary session, which will be held on October 5, will vote for the candidates and make the final decision.
