The monument at the checkpoint of the 76th division of the Airborne Forces in the city of Pskov recalls the tragically and heroically killed paratroopers of the 6th paratrooper company of the 2nd battalion of the 104th RAP during the war in Chechnya. The author of the monument was the architect from the city of Pskov, Tsarik Anatoly, who decided to take the main symbol of the paratroopers, the parachute, as the basis for the monument. At the foot of the monument there is a St. George Cross, built of granite, with a list of the names of the dead. The height of the monument is twenty meters. 84 candles rush to the top, corresponding to the number of children who died tragically. On the inside of the dome there are exact copies of all the signatures of the dead paratroopers. The crowning of the parachute dome is decorated as the Star of the Hero of Russia.
Starting from August 2, 1930, the history of the development of air landing troops- the only type of troops in which all divisions represented are guards. The formation of the Pskov Airborne Division took place in 1939, and already in 1943 it received the respected title of Guards for honorary military merit. For numerous and dangerous military operations, she was given the honorary name of Chernihiv; in addition, the division received the Order of the Red Banner.
On the night of November 30, 1994, the regiment of the 76th Airborne Guards division flew to the Caucasus. It was from that moment that the Chechen war began for the Pskov soldiers. During the First Chechen War airborne division from Pskov lost exactly 121 soldiers. The Russian guys showed true heroism and courage, waging an uncompromising fight against the bandits. On the night of March 2, 2000, in the Argun Gorge, a company of Pskov paratroopers held back the onslaught of militants, but could not resist - the company died. At this time, 84 paratroopers tragically died, who gave their lives not to let the Chechen bandits through. It was the death of the 6th company of the landing troops that became the worst and biggest loss during the second Chechen war. This tragic event is reminiscent of a stone located at the checkpoint of the 104th parachute regiment in Cherekh. In a tragic battle, the commander-in-chief of the guard battalion, Mark Nikolayevich Yevtyukhin, also died; also commanded a company and Major Sergei Georgievich Molodov, who also died tragically in Chechnya.
In this bloody war, the command set the task: to march on foot and soon take the most convenient heights in the Argun Gorge. The process provided for the consolidation of some part of the 6th company at a height of 775.0, and also, in the future, using this height as a priority, advance and try to occupy the remaining heights. the main objective- to prevent bandit formations. Soon the company reached the desired height, but the weather prevented the implementation of the plan to the end - a thick fog descended. In the morning traffic was resumed. Soon the reconnaissance patrol revealed a group of Chechen fighters in an ambush, which began firing machine guns. Among the Russian guys there were wounded. Very soon, the opponents managed to create a numerical superiority and took the most advantageous positions. Evtyukhin decided to retreat, which made it possible to carry out the export of the wounded. At this time, Major Molodov received mortal wound. After this event, the company was forced to repel the onslaught of Chechen bandits. After a while, the militants pulled up reinforcements. Then the 3rd company made attempts to approach the 6th company, but in this situation they had to retreat. The militants were desperately trying to knock down the Russian paratroopers from the heights. Soon a battle began between 26 wounded paratroopers and three hundred bandits - the paratroopers survived to the end ...
22 soldiers of the 6th company were posthumously awarded the highest award - the Hero of the Russian Federation; the rest of the heroes were awarded the Order of Courage. Since 2002, a huge dome has been standing on Pskov land, which reflects a tribute to the heroes of Russia. City School No. 5 was named after the battalion commander - Mark Evtyukhin. One street in the city of Pskov was renamed in honor of the famous and heroic Russian 6th company. In Chechnya, a monument was erected in honor of Russian paratroopers, this was a case of perpetuating the memory of Russian military personnel.
