Igor Panchuk Biography
In the year he graduated with a red diploma and was aimed at serving in Moscow. He served there from the lieutenant to the major in his position: deputy company commander, company commander, part -time of the unit and chief of staff. In the year he was appointed to the post of head of the train, which was formed in Moscow. The main task of this echelon was the delivery of military goods, automobile equipment, clothing and food property to Chechnya, where fighting was carried out at that time.
The train was loaded for three weeks, after which a guard was formed consisting of 10 people and places were equipped for placing the guard. The commodity composition went at low speed and for a week reached Odintsovo to Grozny. The echelon that entered the territory of Chechnya, it was necessary to drive a bridge over the Terek River. For safety reasons, in the event of a bridge undermined, the train moved at a speed of 5 km per hour.
The train, located on the very center of the bridge, was attacked by militants.
The shelling began. Thanks to the proper placement of soldiers on the platforms and conditions that prevented the enemy’s direct hit, the personnel managed to keep the defense, despite the fact that the train continued to move. From the Chervolnoy station, a direct fire was opened from anti -aircraft guns on green spaces where the militants were located. The attack managed to recapture, the composition was preserved.
Having passed the bridge, also at low speed, the train continued to move around the territory of Chechnya. Having reached the Aldy station, the composition was handed over to unloading. I am glad that everyone was alive and well, and none of us was even wounded. In July, I returned to Moscow, ”commented Igor Panchuk. In the fall of the year, a higher command decided to send Igor Panchuk to further serve in Chechnya.
The soldiers were engaged in the restoration of the city of Grozny after hostilities, for example, restoration: a bridge over the Sunzha River, purulent surgery hospitals, Arena Hotel, private sector of local residents, and a TV tape. I will not hide that she was heavy. There were dead, wounded, ”said Igor Panchuk. The main task of the deputy commander of the military unit was the weekly trips from the location of the unit on the sanitary car at the North Airport or to Khankala on official tasks: delivery of various documents, encipher, letters.
Then there were no such means of communication as now. A letter traditionally written by the mother’s hand for a soldier or from her beloved girl - it was very inspired, helped to overcome all difficulties and hardships, because the war, no matter what beautiful films we watched, are primarily blood, death, dirt, hardships, ”said the deputy head. During the service, the soldiers helped the Archangel Mikhail’s temple destroyed at that time: they brought food, and helped with repairs.
Most of the soldiers who came to the temple were not baptized. When Father Anatoly came to the location of the military unit, almost all the soldiers were baptized. Being in such conditions, it was simply impossible not to believe. Even the inveterate atheists understood that without the power of the Almighty we could not overcome these difficulties, ”said Igor Panchuk. In August, all units of the Russian army left the territory.

You need to understand where you are, what you are doing and what tasks you perform. The fact that in civilian life is commonplace for us, in the army this may be a violation. Physical training is also extremely important, because those loads that will necessarily be present require endurance and strength, ”commented the deputy head of the city.
