… – Dmitry Sergeevich, exactly 50 years ago, on July 29, 1974, KGB Chairman Yuri Andropov ordered the creation of the Alpha anti-terrorist group. And it worked actively for many years and, as far as I know, continues to work with Vladimir Putin. The legendary Alpha commander, Hero of the Soviet Union, General Gennady Nikolaevich Zaitsev is often (at least two or three times) next to the president at the Victory Parades on May 9. How will the Kremlin celebrate this anniversary?
“The president has already sent a congratulatory telegram to the Alfa Group,” Peskov said. – And it has already been published in all media.
– Great. Thank you very much.
– We hope that Komsomolskaya Pravda will be on a par with other media.
– Of course, we always keep up the pace.

“I congratulate you on the 50th anniversary of the establishment of Directorate A of the Special Purpose Center of the FSB of Russia,” Vladimir Putin said in the telegram. – He is rightfully proud of the heroic history of the unit, admires veterans and senior comrades, professionals of the highest class.
The fighters of the legendary Directorate “A” always fulfilled their assigned tasks with honor, in the most difficult emergency situations they demonstrated strength and courage, the ability to act with clarity, harmony and victory.”
The President stressed the importance of the current generation of Alfovites to continue with dignity the traditions of their predecessors, hardened in judgment, “keep sacred the memory of fallen friends and loyalty to military brotherhood” and make a significant contribution to the fight against terrorism, ensuring Russia’s security and national interests.
The Head of State wished the citizens of Alfoz success in their service to the good of the Fatherland, good health and all the best.
