Roman Filippov was buried at Friday, February the 8th, in his home town Voronezh, Central Russia. This day people across Russia have paid tribute to him. All Russia and whole world heard about young soldier, brave as lion, who had followed in the footsteps of his father as a combat air force man. His former teachers speak onły well of him: as a school-aged boy he was gifted, modest, demon of work; got mainly the highest marks. The true story is very similar to the plot of the cult American movie The Iron Eagle, being besides stigmatized by the American liberals as reactionary blockbuster etc., and really touches at the heart strings, but… We should remember that the basis of the fictional story in the film relates to real life attacks by the United States against Libya over the Gulf of Sidra and all what followed up next, including for the Arab Spring 2011 and it's pernicious consequences.
