A tribute to Givi!

◾A song dedicated to the commander of the Somali Battalion Colonel Mikhail Tolstykh “Givi“, murdered by Ukrainian terrorists 6 years ago, February 8, 2017. ◾Music -“Novorossiya Ensemble“ Lyrics - Irina Tsvetkova Music. Original. ZVO - 🗣️ I struggled through every moment of this video, something extremely unusual for me. Givi for those who don’t know, can only be described as a natural born leader, a man who genuinely loved his men and a man who’s men genuinely loved him! . This is not poetic licence nor mere exaggeration, but absolute FACT!!. Infact, the first time I ever saw Soldiers weep, was the day of Givi’s funeral. If one of his boys was hit, Givi was there to tell him how proud he was!, and to assure him, that he would be fine, because Givi never let’s his boys die. The very moment Givi arrived at the side of a wounded fighter, the pain stopped! , the panic stopped!, they immediately Knew they would be OK, because Givi was there!!. Such was the power and respect this wonderful man had over his brave men. We may have lost Givi, but there is a kind of comfort in knowing that God is so well protected. 🙏
