Victory parade for Afghan War Veterans

“Nazarbayev Intellectual School of Physics and Mathematics in Semey” hosted a militarized relay devoted to the 30th anniversary of the withdrawal of Soviet troops from the territory of Afghanistan. Deputy Chairman of the NGO “Veterans and Disabled People of Afghanistan war and local wars in Semey” Savet Aitbayev, soldiers-internationalists Mukhamedzhan Akimov and Alexander Tsvetkov, Deputy military prosecutor of the Eastern Region lieutenant-colonel Talgat Bermaganbetov, commander of military unit 44793, lieutenant-colonel Kairat Myrzagaliyev (the school is under the patronage of this unit), head of the initial military training center Beken Ukubasov, officer for working with military families of military unit 31767 Zhazira Suleimenova, as well as the children of military personnel were invited to the given event which involved 11th grade students for competition.
“We know about the Afghan war through information published in various print publications and social networks. We are admired by the actions of young people who heroically fulfilled their international duty to the homeland in a foreign country, and showed the examples of heroism that are still in everyone’s mouth and turned into legends. Many of them went to war voluntarily. Today worshiping the heroes of those years, in time of peace, we want our military training level to be checked by veterans who have seen war with their own eyes. I believe that one of the manifestations of love for the motherland is the subordination to iron discipline, and this is felt strongly in a military situation,” says Alimzhan Nurtazin, the 11th grade student.
The military relay consisted of 4 stages: a team passing through a tunnel, incomplete assembly and disassembly of a Kalashnikov assault rifle, equipping an automatic magazine, and aiming the ball at a tank layout. The guests were especially pleased at how actively the girls participated in the competition. The competition full of hard struggle was held at a high level and as a result, the team of 11 “B” won.
During the event, the members of the military-patriotic club of “Samuryk school” demonstrated their art. They showed a defile with weapons and elements of hand-to-hand combat.
The veterans and students praised their performance and wished them a bright future.
