General Drozdovsky honoured


"Drozdovtsy"(«Дроздовцы»)

On November 21th the General Drozdovsky is honoured. In the Cathedral of Ekaterinodar, in 2013, an icon-post was installed with the icon of the Archangel Michael of God in memory of General Drozdovsky, which was consecrated by Metropolitan Yekaterinodar and Kuban Isidore. A similar icon is also located in Paris in France in the temple of Alexander Nevsky. It was installed "Drozdovtsy" to the 33rd anniversary of the campaign Drozdovites from Romania to Novocherkassk.

Remember about Drozdovsky and in Rostov-on-Don. In 2014, a grand opening and consecration of a memorial plaque commemorating the famous General of the White movement, who died from wounds in the military hospital building on January 1, 1919, took place in this city with a large gathering of people.

A memorial plaque by the famous Rostov sculptor Dmitry Lyndin was opened on the facade of the building of faculty surgery of the Rostov State Medical University and became the first memorable sign in the anniversary cycle to the “Heroes of the First World War”, which was planned by the Russian Military Historical Society in preparation for the celebrations of the 100th anniversary of the First world war.
