we care and give warmth and overcome difficulties together. together - we are force. let's vote for russia. “dear soldier, your loved ones and relatives love you and are waiting for you, soldier, please come back alive. ” arthur kholodtsov read these poignant lines a little over a year ago in a children ’s letter, which was brought to the hospital by a front-line priest. after the serious injury that arthur received during battle for bakhmud, it was this message that gave him strength.

it seems that thanks to this letter, i quickly recovered. arthur told his family about the decision to volunteer for the northern military district literally before being sent to the front. he says: mom, i’ll quickly, 5 seconds, i’m leaving, i went to church, lit candles for st. george the victorious, mostly for st. nicholas, one year old, asked god to return my grandson to me. for his courage and heroism, arthur was awarded a medal for courage, but even after returning from the zones. the young man did not tell his loved ones the details of his rescue, nor about those minutes in the hospital when the only thing that gave him strength were words of support from the girl sofia from siberia. under my bulletproof vest i had pocket, i had it lying there, i took it out, re-read it, again it was as if such vigor appeared. for a long month, arthur dreamed of meeting the child whose letter he carried on his chest. today is a poignant story that was hidden behind the uneven lines of a child's letter. as well as meetings

for the fighter. arthur kholotsov today in our studio. good afternoon. i understand that in our studio there were guys from the northern military district who already had experience. as far as i understand, you had no experience? well, military experience? i had no military experience when i joined, that is, everything learned. there literally in a month, that is , all the training, then the assault troops, but what was your main motivation? well, the main motivation, i just watched the news constantly, i also watched the film solcepyeg before sending it, that is, and how it would have touched me more that civilians, children, and so on were dying there, how i just decided that.. . we need to push back the front,

somehow help our guys, who, who, if not us, and how old are you, 32, you’re from perm, yes, believe me, from the city, happiness is not for mountains, yes, that’s why you also decided that it was just around the corner, which helped you, i know that you had a huge motivation to be here today, please tell me about... i would like to meet the girl who wrote to me so touching a letter that helped me there at that time, it seems to me that thanks to this letter i recovered very quickly, in the future i seemed to be carrying out a combat mission, i had it with me all the time and somehow just warmed my soul and encouraged me, gave me strength, and tell me, how did you receive this letter? at

i was wounded, i was lying in a hospital in lugansk, a priest came in, that is , there were just holidays there, christmas, he came to congratulate on the holidays and distributed letters from children, that is, i got exactly this letter, that is, he he gave it to you himself, you didn’t pull it out, yes, he gave it to me himself, congratulated me on the holidays, as if, i opened it, read it and shed a lot of tears, as if, in general, such words were written there, this was the first letter that i received. from a child, well let's hear what you told us before the broadcast, when i watch the footage of the battle for bakhma, i generally think that how is it possible, how did it turn out like this, that is, well, to return, as if, and indeed yes , there was a concrete inferno when... me

early, it was december 31st, apparently they were congratulating us on the new year, it flew right into the corner of the trench and, well, behind me, it exploded above my head, that is, accordingly , i immediately... there was darkness in my eyes, they carried me already evacuated and transferred to medsanbat, i received a letter in the hospital, then when i was lying, that is, after the operation , i could no longer walk, the priest came in, that is, he congratulated me on the holidays, so he handed out a letter to everyone just like that, what touched me most was, well, this letter from girls, sofia is going crazy and she moved me to tears and somehow, well... i lay there like that and just read it and thought, well, i still have to do something, like, hello, dear soldier, let us not know each other, but i decided to write this letter about you, my name is sofya aksyuchets, i study in the third grade, i live in the village of tina, i want

to express my gratitude to you for your service, for defending your homeland, dear soldier, i want to wish you courage, perseverance, courage and... good health, remember, your loved ones and family are waiting for you, soldier, please come back alive, we we are waiting for you with victory, these are the last lines, remember, your loved ones and family are waiting for you, soldier, please come back alive, we are waiting for you in victory, it is these very lines that touched me very much, it gave some i don’t have the strength, i don’t know, i… sometimes no, no, when there’s already some kind of despair or something else, i took it out, re-read it, again it was as if such vigor appeared , it seems to me, thanks to this letter, so i quickly recovered from the wound, already when i went on a combat mission again, under my

body armor, that is, like if there was a pocket , i would put it there, that is, i had it there, so it didn’t wrinkle, everything was clean, good, it seems to me that... this is a little girl with a russian soul, really , who really wrote from the heart and worried, who will receive her letter, hair long with bows, i think, i kind of imagined it like this, that is, it’s like they’re sitting at their desks and kind of writing letters. do you have any brothers or sisters? yes, do you have a younger sister? no, the eldest, nagor, didn’t offend you? no, of course, who raised you? grandmother, mother. tell me, how do you feel now ? well, okay, very good, even.

i know that you even brought a toy for the girl today when you were preparing for the meeting. yes, what did you decide to give her? i decided to give her a dog, even a plush one, as if, i think, certainly. bring an animal, as if , well, it won’t be quite like that, at least a plush, so that it reminds her of this as protection, caring for her , that is, this is a dog - it’s like a sign of friendship, faith, hope, but tell me, only for you the letter was so emotional important for rehabilitation, for some support or for others?

he revered, as if he was saying, this really gives me strength, he says, but i want to say that the girl who wrote you a letter, we found her, she lives in the krasnoyarsk region, it turned out that behind these lines, which you were shocked, she has her own story, which also pushed her to write a letter to an unknown soldier, let's listen to her stories, you will now see sophia for the first time, and what she tells. we try to come as often as possible, because we haven’t seen him for a year, well, he promised to come back, i think that he

is my hero, that he went to defend his country, it’s sad that he died, he always loved to give roses , he gave them to us, now we wear them. here are the roses for him, when he already knew that he was going to the north military district, he wrote: wait for me. when i look at albums, i go back to that moment when dad was alive, and he was, was always with me, when i found out that dad died, it was difficult to accept that he would not be able to come to me, and i won’t be able to see him anymore, i wanted to tell him that... i love him, and i couldn’t tell him that, what i often remember is what

he called me princess, he won’t call me so, i couldn’t tell him that we were looking forward to him, that we believed in him, so after my death i... started writing letters to the soldiers, that in order to support them , so that they believed that they were expected, when i wrote the letter, i didn’t know who i was writing it to, when they told me that it had gone to a soldier, and that’s how i imagined it, that he had there are children , that he... i don’t know that i have a dad and that he died, i thought, if a soldier has

children, they didn’t appreciate the time when he spent time with them, i wrote it down, experienced it myself, and i realized that i need to appreciate the time that i have with the soldier who received my letter, if i... met him, i would hug him, i would say about my dad, that my dad also defended his homeland, but he didn’t return home, i wanted to hug him, make friends with him, to become close people, so that i could tell him about some difficulties, because he can understand me, because i can’t... tell my dad this, you see what

a drama is hidden behind these lines, maybe that’s why you felt her letter so much and read somewhere between these lines about the tragedy that may not have been immediately visible, but i can say that sofia aksyuchits and her mother alla are here today, they came to meet you. so now you support them too, let’s meet, well, you really are a princess, sit down, this is for you, this is a gift for you, hello, thank you very much for your daughter, you are like that, sit down , hello, hello, tell me, this is what you imagined the person to whom you are writing a letter, yes, it seems to me that you are even

a little similar in some way, no, you have the same blue eyes, this is the letter we are talking about now, so it is the guarantee of your health, arthur, and your life and the lives of fighters like you, because in russia there are girls who are able to share their feelings like this, and absolutely in this letter, sonny, and your love for... dad and you will always be a princess, absolutely you will always be a princess, and absolutely, dad, whether through the eyes of arthur, through the eyes of other fighters, absolutely definitely sees you, your feelings, and he will always be you, thank you larisa, tell me where you live , sofia, in the krasnoyarsk territory, in the city of borodino, and you they wrote letters to all classes or how it all happened, i myself...

feelings that she is very secretive among us, maybe now it is clear that she has emotions, she very rarely shows hers, like an adult she knows how to hide them and... in this letter i laid out all my feelings, all my pain, but you said just now in the story that you would like to continue communicating with the soldier who received the letter and maybe share, yes, of course, be friends, of course, we want to continue communication, because this is everything, everything is for a reason, i think arthur should have

appear in our lives, arthur, well, you understand that you can’t get away with just one dog, of course. sofia was very happy when i wrote to her that a soldier was looking for her, he received her letter, and as they told you, tell me, sofia, i received a notification through social networks, that is , from a person with whom i do not communicate, and i just open and i see that the soldier is looking for the girl, trying to make sophia from selatine, at first there was such a strange feeling, we just had such a rather difficult day, it was supposed to be sonia’s dad’s birthday, it was on this day that they sent us this link that arthur was looking for sophia, ian, you know such stories, i know that you saw soldiers reading letters that were waiting for them, you know, there are a huge number of such stories,

these are the boys we are there for we send cargo that we carry all the time... what am i saying, the twenty-seventh, here the guys are like this, well, already dear, you understand about what they said about what they have in their cars, in their backpacks, and they have letters from children, and this very important, because well, this is a connection with home, right? arthur, when it was my son's birthday, all the fighters arrived, he didn’t come for long, he came to moscow, and there was an absolutely amazing young guy, with the call sign mom, that’s right, with the call sign mom, yes, and we started talking about

how, well, what’s the difference between the rear and the front, suddenly he ... he speaks so calmly , he says, and you know, he says, why are we fighting there, so that there are full cinemas, theaters, so that people can go to restaurants, yes, i was so surprised at that moment , he said, because this is life, and we are fighting there for the sake of this life. let's go now we'll make a short advertisement right after it , arthur's mother meeting with the man who risked his life to help him on the battlefield after being wounded, don't switch, grandma,
