The Monologue about the symbolism of a name of Alexander Vasilevsky and about historical tactfulness
During the celebration in 2018 of the 75 anniversary of the victory in the Battle of Kursk the name of Alexander Vasilevsky sounded rather seldom. It seemed strange. Coordination of actions of fronts was carried out by representatives of the Stavka of the Supreme Command. Aleksandr Mikhaylovich Vasilevsky was one of two representatives of the Stavka.
However, considerations of historical delicacy prompted me not to speak out on this subject.
Recently we heard a name of Alexander Vasilevsky in connection with events in the Kaliningrad region (Oblast) of Russia.
Whether Alexander Vasilevsky had relationship to the former Konigsberg? - yes, he had a professional interconnection. Whether Alexander Vasilevsky was professionally connected with the fleet (in a broad sense)? - he was to some extent connected.
However, historical memory and a historical tactfulness induce to ask a question: what Alexander Vasilevsky's name symbolizes?
I believe that Alexander Vasilevsky is a symbol of military valor, of military mind, intelligence, a symbol of victoriousness, a symbol of a human decency.
Personally I have information on option of perpetuation of Alexander Vasilevsky name, information which came in connection with recent events in the Kaliningrad region caused, at least, bewilderment.
