‘Renegade Russian (vyrus) is a dissociated from the Russian People community that has aligned itself with non-Russians (nerus)’
The general Alexander Syrsky (Olexandr Sirskyi in Ukrainian) has been commanding the Armed Forced of Ukraine (AFU) for half a year, and during previous two years, he commanded the Ground Forces of the AFU. He became ‘famous’ long ago, from the geginning of the fighting in Donbass, Syrsky headed the Ukrainian Stuff of the Anti-Terrorist Operation (ATO). Among his military ‘merits’ there is commanding of the defense of the town Debaltsevo and yielding of this town in 2015 (the so-called Debaltsevo cauldron).
‘The Ukrainian forces has given Syrskyi an awful name – ‘a butcher’, wrote an influential American media outlet Politico in the article under the headline ‘Zaluzhny is out, the ‘butcher’ is in’. The authors of the piece pointed out that Syrskyi ‘is also known for leading forces into a meat grinder in Bakhmut, sending wave after wave of troops to face opposition fire. In the end, Kremlin backed Wagner Group mercenaries captured the city’.
One of the interlocutors of the American journalists, a captain of the AFU, confirmed that this awful nickname ‘the Butcher’ has stuck, as has ‘General 200’ (200 is a code meaning dead soldiers on the battlefield). In Ukraine, write the American journalists, Syrsky is deeply unpopular with Ukrainian rank-and-file.
And for Russia he is actually an arch-enemy, and this would need no commentaries at all if ‘the Butcher’ were not ethnical Russian by his origin. The thing is that this war is fur-lined with Neo-Nazism, as an overcoat with dog’s fur, Russians and Ukrainians, divided not by ideological ‘Marxism-Leninism’ but by visceral ethnical nationalism, are dying by hundreds and thousands. And that is why ethnical affiliation has a particular importance.
ALIVE BORN COPSE
Perhaps, someone from Syrsky’s ancestors was an ethnical Ukrainian, and because of that, he considers ‘defending Ukraine’ his sacred duty? Or is he one of those who name themselves with the word non-Russian (vyrus)? There is already a scientific definition of this term: ‘Renegade-Russians (vyrus) is a dissociated from the Russian people community that has aligned itself with Non-Russians (nerus) in order to submit, to suppress or to liquidate Russians as people and Russia as an independent state’.
Up until now, the ethnical belonging of Syrsky has been based on rumors or fragmentary data coming from his former fellow officers and acquaintances. Yet, the website Prigovor.ru disposes of some documents that draw the line in this confusion of false rumors.
In the first place, this is the birth record of Alexander Syrsky (No 47 of August 10, 1965), made by the Lipensk village’s Soviet of the Petushinsky district, Vladimir Region. The date of his birth: July 26, 1965, place of birth – village Novinki of Petushinsky district, Vladimir region. His father: Stanislav Prokopyevich Syrsky; his mother: Lyudmila Ivanovna Syrskaya. Both of them – attention! - are ethnically Russian.
Birth record of Alexander Syrsky, chief commander of AFU
A low office employee who was fulfilling this record, made a seemingly little inaccuracy; however, as future has demonstrated, it was, perhaps, God himself who was governing his hand. In the line of the document called ‘Life born or still born, the employee wrote ‘no data’ - i.e. one can say that the chief commander of the AFU, at the moment of his birth, was ‘a living copse’, a living dead, an unpeople…
ALL RUSSIAN…
The father of the commander of the AFU, Stanislav Prokopyevich Syrsky, was born in the township Omutinskoye in the Omsk region (nowadays this township is incorporated into the Tyumen Region). According to the birth record No 130 of July 1, 1939, he came into the world on June 15, 1939, his father was Prokopy Semyonovich Syrsky, and his mother was Vassa Yevdokimovna Syrskaya, both his parents were ethnic Russian.
The mother of AFU’s chief commander is Lyudmila Ivanovna Syrskaya came into the world on May 26, 1941, her maiden name being Kurkina. The birth record (No 25 of June 6, 1941) was made by the Soviet of the township Abbakumov of the Petushinsk district of the Moscow region (nowadays it’s part of the Vladimir region). Her parents – Ivan Andreyevich Kurkin and Mariya Pavlovna Vesenina are ethnically Russian.

The marriage of the parents of the chief commander of the AFU was registered by ‘The Executive Committee of the Andreyevsky township’s Soviet of workers deputies of the Solnechnogorsk District of the Moscow Region’. According to the marriage, certificate No 38 of September 11, 1964, none of them had been previously married. The registration of the marriage was made, probably, where Stanislav Syrsky had been doing his military service. The future chief commander of the AFU came into being in ten months after the conclusion of the marriage.

Staniskav Syrsky and Lyudmila Syrskaya have another son – Oleg Syrsky, little brother of the AFU’s chief commander. He was born on January 15, 1973; the birth record (No 73 of February 8, 1973) was made at the ‘Office of registration of acts of civil status attached to 10th Directorate of the Commandant of the Garrison of the Soviet Forces (in the town Rostok)’.

More precise the place of birth of Oleg Syrsky was mentioned in his marriage certificate (No 460 of April 3, 2014 – town Neustrelitz (GDR) where the Soviet officer Stanislav Syrsky was serving his military duty. Oleg married a Russian girl Nina Sharkayeva in 2014, when he was already 41 years old, and the family of Stanislav Syrsky, by that time, was settled in the old Russian town Vladimir.

The parents of AFU’s chief commander met their old age in a spacious 3-room apartment (75 square meters) which is located in a decent brick building at the address Nizhnaya Dubrova, house XX (built in 1996). Oleg Syrsky is also registered there. The apartment, according to the extract from the Integrated State Realty Registry (EGRN), which is in a shared ownership of the dwellers.

FIGHTS AND LABORS OF GRANDFATHERS
The grandfather and grandmother of AFU’s chief commander – Prokopyi Semyonovich and Vassa Yevdokimovna – for some reason, registered their marriage at a mature age, namely in 1952. The record of the registration of marriage (No 17 of March 8, 1952) was carried out at the Omutinsky Civil Registry Office (ZAGS) of the Tyumen Region. According to the document, the grand mother has a Russian maiden name Pisanova (‘she was not in a marriage before that’). It turned out that his grandfather happened to be a Belorussian.

The nationality of Prokopy Semyonovich is confirmed also by his archive military documents placed on the website “Memory of the People’ about soldiers of the Great Patriotic War. Here it is said that he was born in 1906, the place of his birth: village Kuzminichy, Chaussky district of the Mogilevsk Region, Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic.
The grandfather of AFU’s chief commander was called up for military service from the township Omutinsk at the very beginning of the war, in 1941. He fought heroically, and being in the rank of senior sergeant, he went up to Berlin. He was rewarded with the Order of the Red Star and medals ‘For Bravery’ and ‘For Victory over Germany in the Great Patriotic War 1941-1945’. In the ‘Demographic List’ compiled by a military commissariat, it is said that the civil specialty of P.S. Syrsky is concrete worker.
In the same archive resource, there is also information about Makar Semyonovich Syrsky, the blood brother of Prokopy, who was born in 1914 in the same Belorussian village Kuzminichi. He went missing in August 1944.
How the grandfather ended up in West Siberia, thousands kilometer away from his native little village? According to the Birth certificate (No 12 of June 16, 1933) of his older son Vitaly, Prokopy Syrsky from Belorussia went to take part in a top-priority construction project of the Magnitogorsk Metallurgical Complex (so-called Magnitka) the construction of which had started in 1929. Obviously, here he met his future wife Vassa Yevdokimovna. This document was issued by the Magnitny Workers-Township Soviet of the Magnitogorsk District in the Ural Region’, and as place of residence of Prokopy Semyonovich is mentioned the township Magnitny, and his nationality – Belorussian.

For the most part of his live Vitaly Prokopyevich lived in the closed town Chelyabinsk-70 (nowadays Snezhinsk) where there is a top-secret defense enterprise specialized in development of nuclear technologies – All-Russian Scientific and Research Institute of Technical Physics (VNIITF).
The second child of Prokopy and Vassa – Lyudmila Syrskkaya – saw the light in April 1937. The birth certificate (No 86 of April 26, 1937) was made by the ‘Omutinsk Civil Registration Office’. Now Lyudmila lives in Novosibirsk, her married name is Ozeryanskaya).

All that is left for us is to figure out what forced the Syrskys family to leave the great Komsomol building site with good salaries and to move to a remote Siberian township. In any case, the township Omutinskoye became the birthplace for the youngest brother Vladimir who was born in March 1941. In the section ‘nationality’ of the Birth certificate (No 35 of March 17, 1941) it is mentioned this time ‘Russian’. From this place, in several months, Prokopy Semyonovich went to war. Vassa and four kids he saw next time only in four years. Today, Vladimir Prokopyevich Syrsky, as also the oldest sister, lives in Novosibirsk.

LETTER TO THE PAST
The grandfather of AFU’s chief commander on maternal side also took part in fights of the Great Patriotic War and he went missing during the first days of the war when his newly born youngest daughter was nearly one month old. Lyudmila Ivanovna Syrskaya told about this and, judging from her pages in social media, she is a committed patriot of Russia having an active life stance.
Lyudmila Ivanovna Syrskaya, mother of AFU’s chief commander
In the archives of the Defense Ministry of the Russian Federation, she collected all documents containing information about the Red Army Man Ivan Kurkin and wrote an open letter to… her late father, which, in 2020, to the 75th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War, was placed on the website of the administration of the Vladimir Region.
Here is the full text of this letter in which there is quite a few details about the life of AFU’s chief commander.
‘Dear dad, Ivan Andreyevich!
I, your youngest daughter Syrskaya (Kurkina) Lyudmila Ivanovna, born May 26, 1941, know you only from the stories of my mother.
We live in Moscow on Chekhov Street, House No 23. Before the Great Patriotic War, you worked as a driver in the Motor transport depot of the ‘Moscow Post Office’. When the Great Patriotic War began, you volunteered and went to the Leningrad Front. My mother became a notification that Kurkin I.A. had gone missing on 29.06.1941.
When the Germans came close to Moscow, my mother with us, with two daughters, Valentina (born 21.01.1937) and Lyudmila (26.05.1941) went to her mother in the Vladimir (Moscow) Oblast, Petushinsk district, village Novinki. After the end of the war, my mother went to Moscow, but our room in a communal flat was already by a woman with a kid and she refused to make it free.
We continued to live in the village. When I asked to tell my mother about my childhood during the war, she told that there had been wounded soldiers in the house and I had been crawling among them. Some would have given a piece of bread, someone a piece of sugar.
After the end of the war, I remember working in a kolkhoz, watering cabbage. We went to cut grass and helped to make it dry with rakes.
In 1945, in May, a man, at your request, dropped by and told how you had died. You were ambushed. You were wounded in the leg but stayed to cover your comrades; you asked to leave a grenade and ammunition and asked to tell your wife about your death. The man said: ‘We heard the explosion of a grenade, several shots and that was it. Kurkin I.A. was a communist and he would not have surrendered alive. He saved us all, but died himself’.
So, we consider it to be proved with documents that all close relatives of AFU’s chief commander Alexander Syrsky are ethnically Russians (and his father, a Belorussian by birth, preferred to consider himself Russian). That is why his participation in the war against Russia cannot be explained by ethnical Ukrainian nationalism, and the so-called ‘phenomena of Syrsky’ is synonymic to the term ‘renegade Russian’.
CANDID TRAITOR
From 1982 to 1986, the future chief commander of the AFU studied at the prestigious Moscow Higher Combined Command School, which is often called ‘Kremlin School’. He received a badge of Kremlin military cadet of 109th class.

Syrsky studied in the 2-nd cadet battalion. His class-fellows remember him as being extremely tightfisted, but, in general, he was the same as other military cadets. At the Victory Day in 1986, the military cadet Syrsky, together with his fellow students, marched on the Red Square.

After graduating from the military school, Alexander Syrsky was sent to serve to Ukraine, to southern regions, which, at that time, was considered a rather lucky assignment. He began his service as commander of a motorized rifle platoon in the Poltava region. After the collapse of the USSR, he, for the second time, swore allegiance - this time to independent Ukraine – and his career rolled quickly: battalion commander, regiment commander (1995), and then brigade commander (2002).
In 2006, the Kremlin military school graduates of 109th class gathered in Moscow to celebrate 20th anniversary of completing their military studies. Alexander Syrsky was not among them, and, several years later, he, being first deputy of the Main command center of the AFU, would oversee the transition of the Ukrainian army to NATO standards.

After the state coup in 2014 in Ukraine, Alexander Syrsky was nominated chief of stuff of the so-called ‘antiterrorist operation (ATO). At that time, perhaps, the destiny made a big full stop at the point of no return. Having seen his readiness to sacrifice willingly the honor of a Russian officer, the criminal Kiev’s junta made him chief of stuff of the antiterrorist operation on the territory of Donetsk and Lugansk regions. On the hands of the ‘general 200’ poured rivers of blood of civilians of Donbass. And after the begin of the Special military operation (SVO) Syrsky deserved even more the nickname ‘renegade Russian No 1’ as nobody from living at present on Earth ethnical Russian has spilled so much Russian blood.
Zelensky and Syrsky
Fellow students of the chief command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from 109th class have remained loyal to their oaths, although their destiny as military officers spread them to various parts of the USSR. So, for instance, Andrey Valikov in 1993 quitted the army due to reduction in personnel after the dissolution of his military unit. At present, he lives in the town Podolsk in the Moscow Region and heads the company selling construction materials.
Oleg Grigoryev served in the Ukrainian town Mukachevo as commander of Reconnaissance Company, and then he was moved to the Transbaikal Area. In 1991, he was transferred to Moscow where he worked at the Main Directorate of the General Stuff (GRU). Nowadays, he is in retirement.
Stanislav Naida served in a separate commandant’s regiment in Moscow. In 1992, he quitted the Armed Forces of the USSR. From 1993 up to 2001, he worked in the Ministry of the Interior of the Russian Federation.
Sergey Sidorin, before the collapse of the Soviet Union and dissolution of the Warsaw Treaty, served in the German Democratic Republic (GDR). He quitted the Armed Forces in 1992, worked in the Ministry of the Interior of the Russian Federation until 2003, and went into retirement as lieutenant colonel.
Oath of the Kremlin military cadets in 1982
In fact, nobody from that class obtained neither high general ranks, nor high government positions, but they have proved, with their lives, that military officer honor is immeasurably higher than a career in the army. ‘When we meet our comrades, we remembered him, - told about Alexander Syrsky one of his classmates. – He is one of the few who served on the territory of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic and swore to the new state, although he is Russian himself, from a village near the town Vladimir, so it seems. Thus, the bulk of Soviet military officers refused to do this; they quitted or moved to Russia. So the oath to independentists gave those who dreamed to make advance in the new state, to climb up to the career ladder. Those renegades were generously rewarded with ranks and high positions, so lieutenants could easily be put to head a battalion’.
Another former officer described the procedure of transferring from the Russian to Ukrainian Army in the following way: ‘The mother remained along in Kiev, he himself served in the town Anadyr. In 1991 wanted to be transferred in order to help his mother. Arrived there, came for the interview to the office of personnel department of the Ukrainian Army. They ask me a question: ‘In case of military conflict, will you shoot at Russians?’ F…! I looked at this so-called officer and told him to go to hell… They knew already at that time what would follow!’
But Alexander Syrsky, obviously, before the second oath, firmly replied to a ‘authentic Uke’ with general shoulder marks that ‘he is always ready to shoot at Russians!’
Blood betrayal is not a new theme at all; it has been there since the very beginning, starting with such Biblical personalities as Cain and Abel. For instance, in Alexander Pushkin’s poem ‘Poltava’, Mariya, the daughter of Kochubey, is put before the choice: either her father, or her lover Mazepa. Either Pyotr will cut Mazepa’s head, or Mazepa will cut Kochubey’s head. She chooses Mazepa, sacrificing her father. Having chosen Mazepa, she has chosen a civilizational break with Russia. Family’ ties of Kochubey were ruined by the civil war. Mariya becomes insane. ‘There is clotted blood on your mustache’. Says Mariya to Mazepa.
And Alexander Syrsky is ready, without any hesitation, to kill his close relatives who, according to their age, can find themselves on the line of battle engagement. Among them, for instance can be Nikita Syrsky, 38 years of age, first cousin at first remove of AFU’s chief commander.

Nikita Syrsky is a native grandson of Vitaly Prokopyevich Syrsky, brother of Stalislav Prokopyevich, father of AFU’s chief commander. He was born in the town Chelyabinsk-70 (Snezhinsk) in 1987, at present he lives in Sankt-Petersburg and he is fond of motorcycle racings. Nikita is the beloved grandson of the patriot Lyudmila Ivanovna Syrskaya, the mother of AFU’s chief commander, they correspond with each other nearly every day on social media. Perhaps, Nikita could escape for sure a possibility to be killed by his own uncle by moving somewhere, to another continent, for instance to Australia, where the son from the first marriage and the stepson of the chief commander’s first marriage live now.
‘You cannot trust such people (as Alexander Syrsky – reference by Alexey Chelnokov)’, wrote about traitors the Russian philosopher Ivan Ilyin. – ‘You cannot build on them any viable organization - neither family, nor corporation, nor church, nor state. An epoch where such people dominate becomes an epoch of disintegration and collapse’. This ingenious visionary has also foretold the destiny of Ukraine: ‘A state that promotes violence and fear and multiplies people of such pattern is not worth of its name’.
