Hello, I saw inaccuracy, the first number of this brigade was 42610, based on the combined detachment stationed in the city of Chirchik, Tashkent region. The described data on the detachment formed in the 80th year had the name among us "Muslim battalion" he was outside the territory of the unit and lived in tents .And they were from all over the USSR and the criterion was the same ... nationality. Also, the battalion that stood in the GDR against the city of ZVAIBRYUKIN in the period 70- and before the collapse was not indicated. Three stories from the old brigade))))
1. By order of Zaitsev, more precisely, according to his favorite words, “I come and I’m surprised,” he said the following that when driving past the fish factory, he discovered that some fishermen have Lenin, but our brigade doesn’t !!! not in order. Well, he gave a hint that the time was up tomorrow, and distributed 1 baht is responsible for the monument, 2 for the pedestal, and the third for the flowerbed))) in general, it happened)) though the next day at the checkpoint gate, about 10-15 cars arrived with the prosecutor's office, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the administration. Zaitsev himself went out to them since there was no brigade commander .. well, and raised the guard in full combat at the checkpoint, put the first rank of the rest at random and ordered that any person crossing the white line at the checkpoint should be immediately shot, and added which of the soldiers would be the first to go home to vacation)) in general, there is no better dream for a soldier)) of course, everyone left .. then, according to the stories, I heard that he was called to the district, they gave him strict punishment, and after a couple of months, the extraordinary rank of colonel)))
2. It was bad with water, and we just didn’t have time for ZIL, in general, the old-timers said to give birth to some water)) well, the soldiers went to the city. the fact that it is full)). The barrel lost its chain and headed across the river to the steppe))) and by a roundabout way to the brigade. )
3. Well, this is directly connected with me, our brigade commander "pioneer" made an unthinkable sports town, we hung ourselves there)) but that's just the trouble he said after building us, everything is done, asphalt will also be one of these days, but there is no ice rink ..... .in general, a vacation to the one who "will give birth to this miracle"))) I went to the city. And passing by the newly built kindergarten I saw HIM)))) having returned to the unit, I walked through the "kents" and purely out of friendship asked for help, I was afraid the bride would be taken away)) ) there were 20 volunteers. I went to the DC and explained the situation .. more precisely, that this was all on the orders of the brigade commander, he said I didn’t know anything and didn’t see anything, then behind the car)) in general, they carefully tied the watchman with karamultuk and loaded the ice rink on Zila. Yes, that’s the trouble from the weight in front of the truck came off almost from the ground, well, they solved the problem very radically)) who is on cool, who is on the hood)) imagine Zil is driving and his man 20 stuck around in front))) well, in part we were already waiting for a guy with an airbrush who applied an invert number on it, like the part number. "Pioneer" liked to throw cars well, for a part, well, and through the guardhouse to catch vigilance))) and part of it knew that night and the ice rink was in a conspicuous place)) When he saw him, he probably walked about 10-15 minutes along and along)) touched the paint, ehh not yet dried up))) the guys push me to the side, they say, go, I carefully approach and then he sees my maneuver, he responds to me, I run up, they report, and he’s like that, so what does he start up ??? I say yes. , smiles. Does he even travel ?? I say, of course !! In general, he takes me by the sleeve, went to the personnel department, and I get the cherished leave to marry)))) These were such funny cases))) Thank you

A werewolf soldier from the 22nd Special Forces Brigade of the GRU of Russia Maxim Apanasov was identified, combining a contract in Russian army with service in the "special forces of the GRU DPR".
During its activity, the InformNapalm international intelligence community has repeatedly recorded units and individual servicemen from the special forces brigades of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the General Staff in the east of Ukraine armed forces Russian Federation. The 22nd Brigade of Special Forces (military unit 11659, stationed in the village of Stepnoy, Rostov Region) appeared several times in our publications, including a trio of servicemen of this unit who left memorable photographs of the Lugansk Friendship of Peoples Park and the local zoo, as well as contract soldier Sergei Medvedev, who boasted two medals for the Donbass and a vacation in Nicaragua.
It's time to name the next werewolf - the so-called militant. spetsnaz of the GRU "DPR", a member of the "Union of Volunteers of Donbass", but in fact - an active contract serviceman of the 22nd brigade of the special forces of the GRU of the Russian army.
When studying the social page of one of the Russian servicemen, a certain Maxim Palestin was found among his friends. In the course of an in-depth analysis of the social profile of the latter, it was possible to collect quite interesting information about him.
Apanasov Maxim Vitalievich
Date of birth: 09/20/1989.
Registered at the address: Rostov region, Bataysk, st. Mayakovsky, 22.
Tel.: +79044444873, +79081777663. Email: [email protected] Passport series 6012, number 022479, issued on 07/30/2011.
Since the second half of 2016, the content of Apanasov's photo album has noticeably changed - photographs appear in it indicating his belonging to the Russian army, including: a photograph in uniform with a sleeve chevron of the Russian army, a breast patch with a surname and a buttonhole of the Airborne Forces / Special Forces, again - a photograph flag of the 22nd BrSpN, which we wrote about above, and a photograph taken in the barracks of the native military unit, in the form of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, with a sleeve chevron of the 22nd special forces brigade and an award bar.
Among the latest photos of M. Apanasov is a picture uploaded in February 2017 and, apparently, inspired by nostalgia for the Donbass: on board the Avgust armored personnel carrier with a comment by the defendant « November 2014« .
Note: credit should be given to the Ukrainian volunteers who, back in 2015, entered Maxim Apanasov into the database. The first entry about him appeared on the website of the Peacemaker Center on June 4, 2015. In it, our defendant is listed as a Russian mercenary, a militant of an illegal armed formation. It is understandable - by that time Apanasov strictly adhered to the legend: he mowed down like a militant, gave interviews in this capacity, and even put up a recording from "Peacemaker" on his page.
In addition to photos from social networks, “Peacemaker” presented (see Apanasov-anketa) an interesting selection of documents with personal data of M. Apanasov: an account card of a member of the Interregional public organization"Union of Volunteers of Donbass" and a questionnaire.

22nd Guards Separate Special Purpose Brigade of the GRU. (22 Guards ObrSpN GRU General Staff of the Ministry of Defense) For the courage and heroism shown by the military personnel of the 22nd ObrSpN on the territory of the Republic of Afghanistan, more than three thousand people were awarded state awards, four of them were awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union and nine Hero of Russia. In the fall of 1985, it was decided to form another detachment as part of 22 obrSpN. For this, it was planned to use the resources of the 40th Army. In accordance with this decision, at the end of 1985, 411 oSpN was formed on the basis of the 5th motorized rifle division stationed in Shindand. His place of deployment was the city of Farahrud. Captain A.G. Fomin, who had previously been chief of staff of 186 oSpN, was appointed to the post of commander of the detachment. The end of the eighties - the beginning of the nineties were marked by mass civil unrest, as well as armed demonstrations by militants of various separatist groups. From 22 obrSpN on November 23, 1988, the 173rd detachment was involved in the tasks of maintaining constitutional order in Baku. Being located in the Kirovsky district of the city - a place of compact residence of Armenians, the detachment carried a special task of preventing acts of violence and robberies directed against Armenians. The year 1989 was especially difficult. In the period from April to June 1990 and from May to July 1991, again, the 173rd separate special forces detachment took part in the settlement of the conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh. Groups of the detachment, acting on the territory of Armenia in the area of the settlement. Nayamberyan and Shavar Shavan destroyed 19 hail-killing guns that were shelling the settlements of Azerbaijan. After the collapse of the USSR in 1992, the brigade was transferred to the North Caucasian Military District. The withdrawal of the formation in full force was prevented by Azerbaijani nationalists. They wanted weapons and Combat vehicles stayed in Azerbaijan. But Colonel Gerasimov, who had recently commanded it in Afghanistan, was responsible for the withdrawal of the brigade to Russia from the GRU. He responded to the ultimatum demands of the nationalists with his own ultimatum, saying that if the cars were not removed from the road, he would order them to open fire to kill. There was no need to repeat the ultimatum, and the brigade freely entered Russia. But even here the units of the brigade did not have to sit idle. Groups of the 173rd detachment performed special tasks in 1994 in the Republic North Ossetia during the Ossetian-Ingush conflict. As soon as it ended, the events in Chechnya began. The task force, consisting of 173 oSpN, reinforced by support units, departed for Chechnya at the end of 1994 and left only in October 1996. The special forces of the brigade took part in the events in Budennovsk, being in helicopters in readiness to destroy the militants released by Chernomyrdin, inflicted the main defeat on the breakout detachments of Salman Raduev near Pervomaisky, and ambushed the field commanders of the militants. During the first Chechen campaign the actions of the brigade were led by colonels S.V. Breslavsky and A.M. Popovich, both of whom commanded special forces in Afghanistan. In 1997, the brigade was headed by Lieutenant Colonel Petr Semenovich Lipiev. A short respite - and again, the 411th and 173rd detachments at the beginning of 1998 began to conduct reconnaissance on the territory of Dagestan in the border area with the self-proclaimed Ichkeria. With the outbreak of hostilities in 1999 (in Dagestan), and then in Chechnya, the special forces of the 22nd brigade were constantly at the forefront of the blow. In April 2001, for mass heroism and courage, steadfastness and courage shown by personnel in combat operations to protect state interests in the context of an armed conflict, the 22nd separate special-purpose brigade was given the honorary name "Guards". In August last year, the servicemen of the unit were involved in an operation to stabilize relations between Georgia and South Ossetia. Currently, the brigade is performing service and combat missions in Chechnya and Dagestan. The command has repeatedly recognized the detachments as the best in terms of efficiency and effectiveness of combat work in the North Caucasus
