I dont think that http://www.dvocu.ru/index/alleja_geroev/0-36 is an official site of the russian federation. So for that reason, Chepiga beeing a Hero of the Russian Federation seems to be unsourced. Interestingly though, there's another Chepiga (Yuriy Yakovlevich) in this list: http://www.warheroes.ru/main.asp/page/2/l/25. --Markscheider (talk) 20:54, 27 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@ Markscheider - Mark, the website itself and the award page was mentioned in the original Bellingcat research, here: https://www.bellingcat.com/news/uk-and-europe/2018/09/26/skripal-suspect-boshirov-identified-gru-colonel-anatoliy-chepiga/

AFAIK (after a brief crosschecking following your input) that's the official website of Far-Eastern Military Command Academy (a.k.a. ДВОКУ or DVOKU in latin alphabet) in Blagoveschensk, its complete denomination being Far Eastern Higher All-Arms Command School "Marshal of the Soviet Union K.K. Rokossovskogo"

It's an officers' military school for Russia’s elite troops and has ties with other services, too. On the same website you can find the application forms to enroll in the school, see http://www.dvocu.ru/publ/informacija/uslovija_priema_v_uchiilishhe/postuplenie_v_dvoku_2019/8-1-0-203

So it will probably have the same officiality and reliability of West Point (USA) or Sandhurst (UK) military academies websites, just for naming two well known western military school. 93.44.184.246 (talk) 02:11, 19 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
