February 15, 2016 marks 27 years since the withdrawal of the limited contingent of Soviet troops from the territory of the Democratic Republic of Afghanistan. This war lasted ten years and claimed the lives of 15,000 Soviet soldiers – internationalists.
February 15 is a day of remembrance for these guys, for those who met their last hour on the distant Afghan land, who fulfilled their military duty at the cost of their own lives.
Today, at Kant Secondary School – Gymnasium No. 3, a memorial plaque was unveiled for the hero of the Afghan war, Belyov Alexey Sergeyevich, who studied at this school and died in battle on June 21, 1982.
The event was attended by representatives of the administration and the public of the city, students of the school, veterans of the Afghan war, and military personnel of the Russian airbase CSTO 'Kant'.
After the unveiling of the memorial plaque, a requiem concert was held at the school.
