You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.92.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 10:52, 20 August 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''74th Guards Motor Rifle Brigade''' is a military formation of the [[Russian Ground Forces]]'s [[41st Combined Arms Army]], part of the [[Central Military District]], stationed in [[Yurga]], [[Kemerovo Oblast]], [[Russia]]. Military Unit в/ч 21005.

== History ==

=== Early years and WWII ===
The 74th Motor Rifle Brigade was created from the disbanded 94th Guards Zvenigorod-Berlin [[Order of Suvorov]] Motor Rifle Division, formerly of the [[Group of Soviet Forces in Germany]]. The 94th Guards Rifle Division was formed on 23 April 1943 in the eastern Ukraine with the consolidation of the [[14th Guards Rifle Brigade|14th Guards]] and [[96th Rifle Brigade (Soviet Union)|96th Rifle Brigades]]. It took part in the liberation of southern [[Ukraine]] through the remainder of 1943 and into 1944 as part of the [[5th Shock Army]]. It remained with the Army through the remainder of the war and ended in the streets of Berlin. Post-war, it remained with the 5th Shock Army for a period, then transferred to the [[3rd Army (Soviet Union)|3rd Army]]. In 1957, it was one of the few Rifle Divisions to be reorganized into a Motor Rifle Division and still retain its original number. In the mid-1980s, it was transferred to the [[2nd Guards Tank Army (Soviet Union)|2nd Guards Tank Army]], where it remained until withdrawn from East Germany in 1991.
After arriving in [[Yurga]] (near Tomsk) in the [[Siberian Military District]], it was reorganized into the 74th Guards Motor Rifle Brigade, where it remains today. Other units also became part of the 74th Guards Motor Rifle Brigade including a guards engineering battalion and the 386th Tank Regiment.

On February 3, 2005, Russian defense minister [[Sergei Ivanov]] visited the brigade and promised that by the end of 2006, the brigade would consist fully of professional soldiers, not conscripts.<ref>[[RIA Novosti]], '74th Motorized Brigade to be manned with professionals by Year End 2006', YURGA/Kemerovo Region, February 3, 2005 (10:41)</ref> He also said the brigade was one of the most combat ready of the entire Russian military, and promised the construction of a new barracks.

As of 2005, the commander was Major General Farid Balaliyev.<ref>[[Krasnaya Zvezda]], 5 Sept 2002, via [https://fas.org/irp/world/russia/fbis/SiberianMD.htm#74thSeparateGuardsMotorised-RifleBrigad fas.org]</ref> 

=== War in Chechnya ===
By 30 December 1994, the brigade was in Chechnya in reserve, sending 3000+ personnel, 45 tanks, 115 [[BMP-1]]s to the fight. The brigade fought in street fights in Groznyy. According to records, the brigade lost 120+ personnel during the war.

=== Russian intervention in the Syrian Civil War ===
Elements of the brigade are participating in the [[Russian military intervention in the Syrian Civil War]].<ref>((Cite news|title = Russian soldiers geolocated by photos in multiple Syria locations, bloggers say|url = https://www.reuters.com/article/us-mideast-crisis-syria-russia-idUSKCN0SX0H820151108|newspaper = Reuters|date = 2015-11-08|access-date = 2016-02-08))</ref>

=== 2022 invasion of Ukraine ===
The brigade is involved in the [[2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine]]. The Ukrainian Ambassador to the United States [[Oksana Markarova]] claimed that a platoon of the 74th Motor Rifle Brigade had surrendered to Ukrainian forces near [[Chernihiv]]. The platoon's personnel were unaware they were "brought to Ukraine to kill Ukrainians" and refused to fight although Russia later denied that any such situation ever took place.<ref>((cite news |last=Choi |first=Joseph |date=2022-02-24 |title=Ukrainian ambassador says Russian platoon surrendered to Ukrainian forces |url=https://thehill.com/policy/international/595728-ukrainian-ambassador-says-russian-platoon-surrendered-to-ukrainian |work=The Hill |access-date=2022-02-25))</ref><ref>((cite news |last=Weber |first=Peter |date=2022-02-25 |title=Ukraine claims 800 Russian casualties, one surrendered Russian platoon, in Day 1 of invasion |url=https://theweek.com/russo-ukrainian-war/1010612/ukraine-claims-800-russian-casualties-one-surrendered-russian-platoon |work=The Week |access-date=2022-02-25))</ref>

On 8 March, the brigade conducted a river crossing of the [[Desna (river)|Desna River]] in Chernihiv Oblast without setback.<ref>((Cite web |title=Institute for the Study of War |url=http://dev-isw.bivings.com/ |access-date=2022-12-19 |website=Institute for the Study of War |language=en |archive-date=2022-03-25 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220325065358/https://www.understandingwar.org/backgrounder/russian-offensive-campaign-assessment-march-24 |url-status=dead ))</ref>

Elements of the brigade were among the units that attempted to cross the Siverskyi Donets River, near [[Bilohorivka, Luhansk Oblast|Bilohorivka]], between May 8th and 10th, in the [[Battle of Siverskyi Donets]]; reportedly losing over 485 out of 550 men, and perhaps up to 1,500 of 2,000, and 80 vehicles.<ref name="nyt">((cite web|title=Growing evidence of a military disaster on the Donets pierces a pro-Russian bubble|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2022/05/15/world/europe/pro-russian-war-bloggers-kremlin.html|first1=Anton|last1=Troianovski|first2=Marc|last2=Santora|publisher=New York Times|date=15 May 2022|access-date=16 May 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220516030015/https://www.nytimes.com/2022/05/15/world/europe/pro-russian-war-bloggers-kremlin.html|archive-date=16 May 2022|url-status=live))</ref> [[Institute for the Study of War|The Institute for the Study of War]] noted that despite their previous successful river crossing, the brigade's commanders may have underestimated improved Ukrainian [[artillery]] capability or may have been unable to control troop movements during the crossing.<ref>((Cite web |title=Institute for the Study of War |url=http://dev-isw.bivings.com/ |access-date=2022-12-19 |website=Institute for the Study of War |language=en |archive-date=2022-03-25 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220325065358/https://www.understandingwar.org/backgrounder/russian-offensive-campaign-assessment-march-24 |url-status=dead ))</ref>
