He is the very model of a Russian Major General

His remains feed sunflowers; his demise was literal

He knows the Tzars of Russia and the war crimes historical

From civilian deaths to school bombs, his denials rhetorical

Is everyone over there named Vladimir?

[–] Snowpix@lemmy.ca 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Same source different platform; https://mstdn.social/@noelreports/111489950957242055

Preliminary information came out that Russian Major General Volodymyr Zavadskyi, (former) Commander of the Taman Division and deputy of the 14th Army Corps has been killed, reportedly blown up by a mine today.

I had no idea they were on Mastodon!

That suggests he had more balls than most of Russian leadership and was actually at least somewhat near the front.

[–] TheSanSabaSongbird@lemdro.id 19 points 2 years ago

They've actually lost a lot of their senior officer corps. The reason is that in the Russian military the enlisted ranks and junior officers have very little autonomy, so senior officers are obliged to be in much closer contact with the front than we would expect in NATO, for example.

You give to much credit. It could have easily been a mine burial training exercise and he walked into the field

[–] nilloc@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 2 years ago

How many bullet holes were in his back before he stepped on that mine?

[–] Jaysyn@kbin.social 17 points 2 years ago

Bonus points if it was a #Russian mine.

[–] Rocketpoweredgorilla@lemmy.ca 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It was just an experiment on how to get future cosmonauts into space without the added costs of using expensive rockets.

Preliminary reports suggest 16% of him made it there. Great success!

He definitely attained terminal velocity.

[–] wabafee@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

His terminal alright.

[–] MushuChupacabra@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago
[–] PwnTra1n@lemmy.world 8 points 2 years ago

i hope he died from a mine like in sisu

In Soviet Russia, General is killed by ours!

More seriously: I always like to see a casualty-induced Russian military leadership shakeup.

He must have looked Putin in the eye. Never look Putin in the eye.
