In recent years, international terrorism has become almost the most dangerous problem for the inhabitants of the Earth in its scope and consequences. All states unite to fight against him.
Counterterrorism
Military personnel of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, as one of the UN contingents, have repeatedly participated in the prevention and elimination of internecine strife both in the territory of the CIS countries (former USSR republics) and in countries outside the territory of the Commonwealth.
Russian military personnel everywhere have shown themselves to be experienced and qualified peacekeepers who perform tasks efficiently.
In the Russian calendar for each month of the year there are several army memorials and holidays, including the common day for the whole country - February 23 - Military Glory Day.
There is also a memorable Day of the Russian peacekeeping forces. The date was set in respect for the merits of military professionals in the prevention and elimination of clashes and the security of our state.
But, unfortunately, few people know what date the Day of Russian Peacekeeping Forces is marked on our calendar.
Peacekeeping
Russia is a peace-loving country, and the priority of Russian politics is always peacekeeping.
A manifestation of this policy is the successfully carried out peacekeeping interventions of Russia in Transnistria, in the republics of Abkhazia, South Ossetia, and Tajikistan, where the Russian army prevented the mutual unjustified massacre, and then convinced the conflicting parties of the need for peaceful coexistence.
Peacekeeping in the CIS is a significant condition for the integrity and stability of Russia and, ultimately, serves to maintain the internal order in the state. Therefore, the Day of the Peacekeeping Forces of Russia must be known to all its citizens.
The Russian peacekeeping forces were created as a result of an almost two-year open confrontation with arms in hand between Abkhazia and Georgia.
In April 1994, at the Council of Heads of State of the CIS, by agreement of the warring parties, a decision was made on the readiness to introduce peacekeeping forces from military units of the CIS countries into the area of armed clashes. In early June, the President of the Russian Federation issued a Decree on the cooperation of the Russian military contingent in the CIS peacekeeping enterprise in the regions of Abkhazia bordering Georgia.
And on June 21, peacekeeping forces were already deployed in the area of bloody conflict.
Memory day
This day is considered the day of the creation of the Collective Peacekeeping Force of the Commonwealth of Independent States and is called the Day of the Russian Peacekeeping Forces. What else do you need to know about this?
From the moment the CIS Peacekeeping Forces were formed and the Day of the Russian Peacekeeping Forces began (June 21), Russian peacekeepers have come a long way, creating the conditions for maintaining sustainable peace. And thereby won great respect and benevolence from the population.
Due to the presence of Russian peacekeepers, the armed conflict, as a result of which the opposing parties lost more than seven thousand people, was stopped. And a lot of work has been done to prevent the incitement of armed clashes, fragmented clearance of the district, and to provide assistance to the local population in arranging life at the end of hostilities.
The interruption of the armed confrontation was expensive - dozens of lives of Russian soldiers became payment for peace. Therefore, the memorable Day of the Russian peacekeeping forces has earned the right to exist.
Peacekeepers and population
Any military actions bring people grief and pain.
And the presence of peacekeepers is almost the only hope that the senseless mutual beating will finally be stopped.
Ordinary people are far from national antagonism and political claims. On the Day of the Russian Peacekeeping Forces, it’s good to recall that peace and tranquility are immeasurably more important. The future of children is what must always be put in the first place. And therefore, on the Day of Russian Peacekeeping Forces (June 21), congratulations and kind words are addressed to these courageous people.
While in the conflict zone, peacekeepers also carry out humanitarian tasks.
The commanders of the CPKF, servicemen every single day are asked on a variety of issues, for assistance the residents of the entire district.
Throughout the region, peacekeepers have earned fame for qualified medical assistance to civilians from professional military doctors with experience in "hot spots".
People understand that peacekeeping forces bring peace to the people of this land, and Russian peacekeepers are the only guarantor of lasting peace in the region.
