The 114th’s emblem, (as with Russia’s Coat of Arms) highlights Saint George, of the Roman Praetorian Guard who would not renounce his Christian Faith and was beheaded in 303AD. In honor of these warrior’s and in memory of St George:

“This day is called the Feast of Crispian”. (October 25).

Saints Crispin and Crispinian are the Christian patron saints of cobblers, curriers, tanners, and leather workers. They were beheaded during the reign of Diocletian; the date of their execution is given as 25 October 285 or 286.

Legend

Born to a noble Roman family in the 3rd century AD, Crispin and Crispinian fled persecution for their faith, ending up at Soissons, where they preached Christianity to the Gauls while making shoes by night. It is stated that they were twin brothers.[1]

They earned enough by their trade to support themselves and also to aid the poor. Their success attracted the ire of Rictus Varus, governor of Belgic Gaul,[2] who had them tortured and thrown into the river with millstones around their necks. Though they survived, they were beheaded by the emperor.

The St. Crispin’s Day speech from Henry V

William Shakespeare

King Henry V: What’s he that wishes so? My cousin Westmoreland? No, my fair cousin: If we are mark’d to die, we are enow To do our country loss; and if to live, The fewer men, the greater share of honour. God’s will! I pray thee, wish not one man more. By Jove, I am not covetous for gold, Nor care I who doth feed upon my cost; It yearns me not if men my garments wear; Such outward things dwell not in my desires: But if it be a sin to covet honour, I am the most offending soul alive. No, faith, my coz, wish not a man from England: God’s peace! I would not lose so great an honour As one man more, methinks, would share from me For the best hope I have. O, do not wish one more! Rather proclaim it, Westmoreland, through my host, That he which hath no stomach to this fight, Let him depart; his passport shall be made And crowns for convoy put into his purse: When would not die in that man’s company That fears his fellowship to die with us. This day is called the feast of Crispian: He that outlives this day, and comes safe home, Will stand a tip-toe when the day is named, And rouse him at the name of Crispian. He that shall live this day, and see old age, Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours, And say ‘To-morrow is Saint Crispian:’ Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars. And say ‘These wounds I had on Crispin’s day.’ Old men forget: yet all shall be forgot, But he’ll remember with advantages What feats he did that day: then shall our names. Familiar in his mouth as household words Harry the king, Bedford and Exeter, Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester, Be in their flowing cups freshly remember’d. This story shall the good man teach his son; And Crispin Crispian shall ne’er go by, From this day to the ending of the world, But we in it shall be remember’d; We few, we happy few, we band of brothers; For he to-day that sheds his blood with me Shall be my brother; be he ne’er so vile, This day shall gentle his condition: And gentlemen in England now a-bed Shall think themselves accursed they were not here, And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks That fought with us upon Saint Crispin’s day.

From Henry V, Act IV, Scene III

Looks like Avdeevka may well turn into a resounding Russian success. But will take time in any case

How do you square the dissonance out there? UK/US pols and media continue to say/believe that Russia is being degraded and destroyed, Ukraine is making progress, etc. Why? I mean, if they paint Russia as this powerful big bad scary evil force, wouldn't that "steel" people more? McConnel saying that Ukraine is destroying Putin's army and Graham calling it a great investment - do you think they are lying, or they are getting bad intel? I'm leaning towards the latter, because I have seen up close and personal one too many times how large corporate structures can get things totally, diametrically wrong, and leadership is too blinded to properly Red Team consensus that reaches them

Second, on Syria - why do they never respond or react to Israeli air strikes? They have advanced russian SAM systems which could easily impose costs on the IAF (assuming they use them properly). Its been 20 years or so that the Israelis bomb Syria with impunity, without so much as a peep from Damascus. Is the IAF that good, are the Syrians that bad, or what?

I am proud to be Russian, as this is why I believe, thanks to Russia, the world stands a chance of survival for another year, while bidendiaper hits the golf clubs course, with his head, or with Blinkens eyeballs...

I wish there will be peace in the world. But that would be hard for scAmerica's neosxum neofreak warmongrels, bark bark growl.

I have empathy for the female medic, but I think it's criminal to allow someone to get in range of enemy fire with hair like that. Marks her as a target at a long distance.

Andriy Biletsky is a true Nazi, he repeats that old racist lie of Erich von Manstein that the Soviets/Russians overwhelmed the Wehrmacht/AFU with huge hordes of "very bad human material", the sort of lie that goes down well with the rednecks and bluebloods that fill the US military academies . The Nazis and allies both old and new outnumbered both the Soviets and Russians up to 2 to 1 for the first years of the respective wars. Now the numbers tell in the opposite direction, but no fear, Biletsky will probably get a post war job just like Manstein or the scum Gehlen, writing crap that appeals to his paymasters biases and doing little nasties in-between buggering underage boys and girls.

The Ukrainian operations on the east Bank of the Dneiper are truly insane. The stuff of madness.

That description of Zelenskyy as a mankurt may not be true as he is a vicious, murderous, moralless kike who knows exactly what he is doing and he is doing it all for the creation of ''Big Israel'' or New Khazaria and lots and lots of shekels in his bank accounts.

I bet that slag heap dust is toxic. What's with the Soviet flag above the Russian? Thanks for the post.

Hopefully once the Russians take Avdeevka it will be more difficult for Kiev to slaughter innocent civilians in Donetsk with artillery fire.

I would assume the MSR can be targeted employing drones, no? And the coke plant won't block artillery fire which can come from the sides or certainly high angle over the top if need be. Even low angle fire, at considerable distance, will likely to be at a high enough elevation to clear the plant if it is along the line of fire.

Thanks for the update.

I feel like I’m losing touch with the SMO. I’m more comfortable with it.

The Israeli conflict is slightly confusing and has the potential to get much bigger and more serious. Plus I’m tired of seeing civilians crushed under buildings covered in blood. It’s exhausting.

The fact that Israel has killed more civilians in two weeks than Russia in 18 months is disgusting.

Israel's Nuclear Bomb Missiles Samson Option is a strong reason for the hesitancy of all its neighbours to come to the aid of Gaza & West Bank Palestinians. 85% of scientists & Manhattan Project leaders were Jewish, festering in our time up to the unleashing the likely death knell of humanity. Along with Israel's Palestinian 'genocide' (UN definition = 'Removing people from or destroying the means of livelihood' along with state & settler murder) over the past 120 years, there is little Israeli compunction about mass murder. Such as Cairo, Damascus, Beirut, Istanbul, Tehran as targets, given the perception of perpetual Jewish victimhood most often during unadulterated arms-length aggression.

Humanity's better Defence Strategy, with Israel & indeed all our relations everywhere, is to engage a significant portion of our human resources, where we always should have been in 'DIALECTICAL' ('Both-sided') PROPAGANDA. All humanity's worldwide 'indigenous' (Latin 'self-generating') ancestors kept peace & intelligence alive through formal, BOTH-SIDES-NOW, Equal-time, Recorded & Published Dialogues called COUNCIL PROCESS. The more we can engage our perceived enemies in dialogue everywhere at every level of society, work, education, governance, courts, sports etc., the more we create the expectation for all to engage in this formal dialogue for both reaching constructive understanding & agreements together as well as conflict resolution. Recorded & Published aspects put the reputation of the dialogue parties on the line, enables superior logic & heart to triumph & brings whole communities, even the whole world into the conversation & situation. https://sites.google.com/site/indigenecommunity/d-participatory-structure/1-both-sides-now-equal-time-recorded-dialogues

I don't think you have a good read on the public sentiment regarding Russian losses among the Novorussian forces. For 8 years prior to the SMO, the main opposition to Putin was due to him not doing enough to protect the people of Novorussia against the homosexual jewish nazis of the Ukraine.
