An Incident On Simonka 18+
R H Auslander has woven an interesting tale of Sevastopol in late February 2014. The author’s extensive knowledge of the tactics and protocol of both the Russian and NATO side of the event becomes clear as the story unfolds, as does his knowledge of Russian culture.
The fate in early March of the NATO forces stationed in Fiodosya on the south coast of Krimea is known, but what happened to the NATO enclave in Sevastopol in February? The US Marines in the enclave, located on Ulitsya Simonok in Rahdio Gorka Region on north side of the harbor, had been ordered at dawn on 23 February by the Sevastopol government to leave the city in two days, which they refused to do. They were gone from Sevastopol and Krimea by sunrise of 24 February.
In Soviet times, readers of the news were adept at reading the news and finding the nuggets of truth. That skill is useful when reading this tale. Is this story true? Only the author, and those who may or may not have been involved in an event that may or may not have happened, know for sure. However, as one commentator wrote, 'That Terek River fight must have been one heck of a battle for a bull Colonel and a First Shirt to get shot up.' And it was one heck of a fight.

looked at the Lieutenant in astonishment. “You’ve got to be kidding me! You
mean to tell me that bunch of Marine honchos got their butts waxed by some old,
busted up and medically retired Spetznaz and a woman who is a civil engineer
with no military service or experience? Get Chief Miller down here, he’s going
to have a litter of kittens when he sees this. Good God! What the hell are we
going to do when we meet the young Spetznaz?”
