On 30 May, Interior Minister Colonel General V A Kolokoltsev accepted ten new servicemen of the Special Purpose Centre of the Moscow Directorate of the MVD who were members of the MVDU Berkut spetsnaz unit previously.
******
The Berkutovtsy confronted radicals in Kiev, until the junta disbanded them at the end of February. The junta tried to accuse 20 Berkutovtsy of shooting at Euromaidan terrorists, but the charges didn’t stick.
******
After the junta started to persecute the Berkutovtsy, General Kolokoltsev said that they were welcome in Russia, they could join the OMON in their old ranks, and that Russia would see to the needs of their families. President V V Putin said, “The Berkut troopers did their duty faithfully”.
******
General Kolokoltsev and General Yakunin, the head of the Moscow Directorate of the MVD laid flowers at the memorial to MVD troops who died in the course of their duties.
******
Here, we see one of the former Berkutovtsy taking the oath of allegiance to Russia.
******
General Kolokoltsev said that 92 Berkutovtsy are in the process of becoming Russian citizens, he hopes that they’ll have successful future careers. 42 of them have chosen units other than the OMON for their MVD service.
******
General Kolokoltsev congratulated the new OMON troopers.
******
General Kolokoltsev said, “These men are a very competent reinforcement”.

The Berkutovtsy embodied COPS (Conscientious Officers Protect and Serve). Because of their training, discipline, cohesion, motivation, and sheer courage, they stood on the Maidan facing the Uniate terrorists, and only fired when they had to. Quite often, they faced violent and unhinged mobs… and stood their ground without killing anyone. These men are exemplars… they’re true men, worthy of all praise and respect. The junta replaced them with Euromaidan trash terrorists with no discipline or training. These sorry sacks o’ shit scuttle over the east like cockroaches… killing people, robbing, and molesting women. I seem to see a difference. The Berkutovtsy incarnated PIG (Pride Integrity Guts)… the junta pigs are just that… pigs. The American media demonised the Berkut… they LOVE the junta thugs… do note that. I’d call it theatre of the absurd…
One last thing… thousands of “Ukrainian” servicemen rallied to Russia, including the former commander of the Ukrainian Navy. NOT A SINGLE Russian or patriot serviceman has gone over to the junta… NONE. It seems to me that’s quite a difference… not reported by outlets of the likes of Radio Liberty and Fox News… fancy that…

On Thursday, Aleksandr Pereshchuk, the head of the MVDU in Kiev, said at a briefing that clashes on the Maidan in Kiev injured fifty members of the Kiev-1 and Kiev-2 Battalions. They fought residents of the tent camp on the square whilst attempting to dismantle the barricades and tents erected by the protestors. The security forces came to the Maidan to dismantle the barricades, but ran into resistance from activists. This led to scuffles, firecrackers went off, and the activists burned tyres in several places on Kreshchatik Street. Pereshchuk noted, “Today, not one policeman nor any member of the MVDU battalions discharged a firearm nor applied undue force. However, we did have 50 members injured; three or four of them are in hospital in critical condition after activists assaulted them with thrown stones. The injured are from the MVDU Kiev-1 and Kiev-2 Battalions. Besides this, the opposition activists assaulted public works employees, taking over about seven utility vehicles”.

Look at the image… these jabronies are unprofessional untrained Euromaidantsy terrorists in uniform masquerading as security troops. No self-respecting Berkutovets would’ve acted as these slugs did. Note that some don’t wear proper protective headgear and that they’re not in a proper phalanx-style formation to face a hostile mob (and protect themselves with interlocked shields). In short, look at the utter incompetence of the Uniate junta! The Galician hillbillies do it again… they’re a bunch of nasty-minded unlettered Homer n’ Jethros attempting to ram their backwoods ways on everyone else. The Berkutovtsy never had such casualties… they were real stand-up guys; they were real pros with real training, they weren’t dreamy nationalists with oddbod ideas from isolated “hollers” in the Galician back of the beyond. Jethro Bodine and Pee Wee Herman would’ve run this operation better. The junta can’t even police its own streets properly… they aren’t long for this world…
