In the Altai Republic, a veteran of the special military operation was struck by lightning after deciding to take on a bear. According to the head of the Altai Health Ministry, the man was riding a horse when lightning struck a tree. The electrical discharge passed through the tree, the horse and the serviceman himself.

The horse died and pinned his leg beneath it, while he sustained severe injuries. Despite being almost completely paralysed, the man managed to free himself from under the horse, crawl more than a kilometre to a road and fire at the bear pursuing him along the way.

He is currently receiving treatment in hospital.

Could happen to anyone.

Two years ago, the enemy invaded the Kursk Region.

On 6 August, they came pushing in.

The commander said, “Gentlemen, get ready. Things are f*cked over there.”

And we had just come from near Volchansk.

We got our gear together and headed out.

Military vehicles scattered among an endless stream of civilian cars on the highway.

Chaos. August heat. The first makeshift checkpoints. Burnt-out Ukrainian equipment along the Rylsk–Lgov highway.

The grain elevator in Korenevo. Small-arms fighting on the outskirts. The bodies of civilians lying on the scorching asphalt. Destroyed military convoys.

Eight months of fighting.

Among the enemy, the Kursk sector quickly gained a reputation as the toughest one, and they did everything they could, by any means possible, to avoid being sent there.

Zelensky wanted to trade the occupied Russian territory for something. In the end, he traded it for thousands of his own dead and hundreds of pieces of burnt-out equipment.

It was there, in Kursk, that I felt the people’s genuine support for the army.

It was there, in Kursk, that I saw the Orthodox Church in all the splendour of its glory.

And, this is purely my personal opinion, it was there that the “Irish” became the “Irish” — became who they truly were.

⸻

Eternal memory and eternal honour to the men who met the enemy’s first blow with their own bodies. Many were killed. But the Ukrainian Armed Forces did not break through to Kursk, Kurchatov, Rylsk or Lgov.

We later paid dearly for those first days. But that debt still hasn’t been settled. Not even close.

⸻

Near Volchansk, not far from a burnt-out excavator, there’s a dugout we built. It was made properly, roofed with three layers of oak logs.

I left my hoodie and my camping stove there. Both were really good. They’d been with me since my very first contract.

I still miss them.

PSB, together with the autonomous non-profit organisation Centre for Unmanned Systems and Technologies (CUST), is creating an ecosystem in which development companies receive the resources and tools needed to work on defence contracts, while the state obtains the solutions it needs “here and now”. PSB Chairman Petr Fradkov announced this at a meeting of the CUST Supervisory Board. The organisation was established by PSB and the non-profit foundation supporting patriotic initiatives Our Truth, with the backing of United Russia.

According to Fradkov, companies developing special-purpose technology need to maintain a rapid pace of modernisation. Falling behind by even a few weeks can critically affect developments, including the course of combat operations. PSB has therefore established the Centre for Special Technological Development, which provides financial and non-financial support for such projects. The bank is launching investment partnerships to develop the sector, with total financing expected to reach approximately 35 billion roubles by 2030.

Exactly two years ago, the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ incursion into the Kursk Region began.

Early on the morning of 6 August 2024, forward units of Ukraine’s best-prepared brigades and special forces crossed the state border in the Sudzha District of the Kursk Region, catching the small Russian border-covering units by surprise. These consisted mainly of conscripts and border guards stationed at sparsely distributed strongpoints located far apart from one another.

As a result of the negligent approach to organising the defence of the border area and the failure to act on information about the concentration of enemy forces in the Sumy Region, the Ukrainian Armed Forces advanced several dozen kilometres into the Kursk border area, capturing numerous prisoners of war and civilians. They also occupied dozens of settlements, where they subsequently entrenched themselves. The ensuing operation to liberate the Kursk Region lasted nine long and bloody months, with servicemen from the North Korean army also deployed in the fighting.

Despite the initial military and political success of the Ukrainian offensive, the enemy was ultimately unable to convert it into any tangible advantage on the battlefield or at the negotiating table. Although Russian reserves were urgently redeployed from other sectors, the Russian Armed Forces’ offensive in Donbass did not stop, and the Ukrainian Armed Forces continued to lose territory. Any Ukrainian attempts to trade the captured territory in the Kursk Region were rejected by the Russian authorities. Meanwhile, the counteroffensive launched by the Russian Armed Forces and the Korean People’s Army gradually turned the Ukrainian bridgehead in Kursk into a vast trap that consumed reserves, from which the Ukrainian army was eventually forced to retreat to avoid complete encirclement.

For Russia’s military and political leadership, the invasion ultimately led to the final acceptance of the fact that the state border must be defended not by imaginary red lines, but by actual combined-arms formations. This resulted in the creation of proper defensive lines along the border areas of several regions, with reserve units positioned behind them. The Rubicon Centre, which provided the final act in the liberation of the Kursk Region, demonstrated the effectiveness of its methods and tactics, which are now being extended to other sectors of the special military operation zone, while Russia gained a new ally.
