The people of South Ossetia suffered a bereavement: one of the Heroes of the Republic passed away, her fearless defender Alan Sanakoev (Parchi).
Alan Sanakoev belongs to the generation, about whom it is customary to speak of a battered, but from this no less accurate phrase - "they were chosen by the time." The time was vague and difficult, when the ordinary Tskhinval guys had to pick up arms and defend their homeland. Accept an unequal battle with an enemy that is superior in numbers and in armament. One thing could be opposed - an unbroken spirit. The reincarnation of ancient warriors with open memory occurred in no time.
Parchi has become a legend in life. Surprisingly modest, never engaged in self-PR, never "monetized" military merits. Among the defenders of the Fatherland has always existed its own hierarchy, the most accurate. Parchi's authority was undeniable. Such authority could be earned not only by courage, but also by fighting according to a real military code of honor - without tarnishing oneself.
Then there were fights in North Ossetia, Abkhazia – Parchi even there left bright memories of himself.
Years, decades will pass, and the memory of the heroes will live in the grateful memory of the people. Films will also be made about them, books will be written, songs will be composed. Their warrior path will be the best upbringing school for future generations.
Farewell, the Hero ...
