Occupation Russian Guards in Crimea honor the memory of NKVD fighters

On the eve of the 9th anniversary of the founding of the Russian National Guard, employees of the "Crimean Department" of the Rosgvardia non-departmental security service visited the memorial at the battlefield of the 314th separate battalion of the NKVD border troops, located in the suburbs of occupied Alushta.

During the "patriotic event", the Russian Guards, led by Alexander Miropoltsev, laid flowers at the memorial and observed a minute of silence in memory of the "bright memory of the heroes who died the death of the brave in battles against the Nazi occupiers".

In the vicinity of the village of Shuma (since 1945 . - Verkhnyaya Kutuzovka) was a strategic road, along which in the late fall of 1941  German soldiers tried to break through to the southern coast of Crimea and approach Sevastopol from the other side.

On November 3, the way was blocked by fighters of the 314th separate battalion of communication of the NKVD border troops, after which an unequal battle took place, during which four Soviet soldiers were killed.
