Please support the petition for conferring the title of Hero of Ukraine (posthumously) amazing citizen, the only Ukrainian soldier, who personally destroyed 2 Russian 2 Russian tanks and armored vehicles in one battle with one of the best volunteers of the National guard of Eugene Telnova.

About this on his page in Facebook wrote the chief editor of the Censor.NET Юрий Бутусов.

Eugene'nov - the businessman from Kirovograd, became an active participant of the revolution of Dignity. He went to war as a volunteer in the battalion nazvanie "Donbass" at the age of 52 years.

August 29, 2014, during the breakout of the surrounded Ukrainian troops from Ilovaysk, a part of "Donbass" was surrounded in the village Chervonosilka and was under fire of Russian bronetehnika. And then the grenade launcher platoon commander Mihail: Lermontov-Nikolov set the task of three volunteers - Eugene Telnov ("Barbel"), Anatoliy Gorbenko ("Hill"), Alexander Fedorchenko ("Brest") to attack enemy armored vehicles.

Easy to say - to destroy Russian tanks. The 125 mm tank gun and destroy it in one Ustream RPG no guarantees - it is well protected. And if he governeth gun and fight back, then the ego 125 mm projectile can hit somewhere close by and still enjoy daredevil. ATGM hits the tank from afar, and a grenade launcher need to get two or three hundred metres to be sure not to miss the mark. To do this without backup, reconnaissance and fire support forces of the three Marines - considerable military skill, nerves of steel and desperate courage. The leader of this group was Eugene'nov. He fired on both of the tanks T-72Б3 and both BMD-2, destroyed in an epic battle. The enemy was kept constant fire on our positions, but not always precisely. To figure this out and find dead zones to believe in themselves, believe that the enemy will not be able to find a grenade, it was necessary to show a rare courage. Tactics "donbassovcev" was so they crept through the "greenery" close to the positions of the Russians and opened fire from one or two RPG-7. Approaches were comfortable, but we had to get very close, and be confident that you will not find and that the Russian infantry will not be able to cover his "armor". They all turned out - the boldness, secrecy and rapidity of action decided the outcome of the battle. The crews of the enemy, who were observed or were inside armored vehicles, when a sudden aimed fire from close range either destroyed or fled. Russian company of the 6th tank brigade, was broken. Three of our heroes, doing the task, not to surrender. They planned his exit, and managed to break out of the encirclement.

About the fighting in Ilovaisk brief interviews were given by Telnov:

And here is the story of a friend] - Alexander Fedorchenko, who in this battle with a gun in his hand covered the grenade, attacked the Russian infantry covering tanks, and captured Russian tank from the 6-th tank brigade - Ivan Badanina and Evgeny Chernov: http://slavaukraine.net/en/news/heroes-glory/3896-volunteer-fedorchenko-alexander-brest-when-i-brought-the-russian-contractor-of-the-machine-he-said-don-t-shoot-we-re-brothers.html

To believe in the accuracy of the described exploits was initially difficult. Well as in fact - three Marines managed to inflict such enormous damage to the enemy, managed to survive, showed that Russian regular army can be beaten, if you act tactically well because the words were similar to some hunting stories.
But time and facts have proven the rightness of "Donbass". They did not panic and was not afraid, and during break saved phones with video and photo bronetehniki destroyed the Russians:

To give up they were going, and later the most valuable evidence became publicly available. And then in the following months, these iron skeletons caught in the lens of other witnesses, and on the Internet appeared a lot of evidence.
Here is the detailed analysis of photo and video testimonies that Ukrainian blogger, and accessories Badanina and Chernova to regular troops of the armed forces of the 6th tank brigade: http://sled-vzayt.livejournal.com/3968.html?thread=362112

Thus, not only in words confirmed this story, but in deeds. Other applications for these wins in two years were reported, and Eugene and his companions showed all the evidence very quickly, first, of the 1st September 2014.

In principle, judging by the tactics of action "donbassovcev" and low morale of the Russian prisoners, who only a couple of days as were in Ukraine, it is logical that they have not sustained physical combat. Armored vehicles were dispersed along the "oasis" set on a non-equipped positions.. 's infantry also did not expect the attack. This opportunity could have been used. And here were the heroes that managed to make.

In October 2014 Telnov participated in the elections to the Verkhovna Rada on 100-th district of Kirovograd. Here's a snippet of his pre-election interview:

"In our country, over a hundred generals. And you for all the time ATO has ever heard of some successful surgery, the strategy plan? There are no plans or strategies not even established a connection between the battalions. The same thing is happening throughout the country. There is just more visible, everything is on the surface: every inaction or wrong action is death and blood. There are fewer victims, but the system is the same. This system should be broken, and an attempt to break her, to enter her - that's the way I see it.

I'm often asked, "why did I go there in fifty-two years. Honestly, this question never ceases to amaze. If not me, then who? Our children? If everyone would think: "this doesn't concern me", "I don't need it" – then soon foreign troops will stand near Kirovograd. We in the battalion, was a young man from a small town near Donetsk (he is now in captivity), and he was fired at his home town, said they should be. I was very surprised, and he explained: "When the city was twenty-separ, I called: come on load them from the muzzle, drive them from our land. Nobody wanted to interfere, to enter the conflict, all thought and all. Not done..." Here and I about the same: you cannot sit and wait that someone will do something for you – you need to go and do. Otherwise it will be the same with Kirovograd".

Elections Eugene didn't win. And again went to war. Went to where the most dangerous.

February 15, part of the national guard "Donbass" and "Azov" participated in offensive operations in the village of Shirokino, to distract enemy forces from Debaltsevo. Best platoon "Donbass" under the command Telnova was ambushed, the front car was hit. Risk was not the enemy of large forces kept under the fire of the road, which remained wounded. The risk was terrible. But Eugene still went to pull out his fighters. He engaged in battle with a detachment of the enemy at a distance of a few tens of meters, to escape was impossible... Telnov Eugene L. died a heroic death.

I think Telnova feat worthy of the highest award in the first place, to make it known all of Ukraine. The amazing story of the battle became a case study in military schools. In schools children know what is civic duty and devotion to the Homeland. Every Ukrainian should be proud that our freedom was defended like a Warrior.

Here's the petition on awarding] on the presidential website: https://petition.president.gov.ua/petition/22469
(in the header of the petition an error in the surname - but then in the description exactly the name Evgeny Lvovich, his status, his call sign. I hope the author will correct the caption of the petition. It is, however, still retains its meaning, and draws attention to this story).

And I as a member of the public award Committee of the national order of "national hero of Ukraine", offered to submit to this award all three volunteers of the battalion nazvanie "Donbass" Evgeny Telnova, Anatoliy Gorbenko, Alexander Fedorchenko.
