were once a reason for not defending our homeland, now we are in the history textbook, well, what can you do now, since we are in the history textbook, well, we must live like in the history textbook, that’s my opinion, on the front line he was responsible for weapons, ammunition, equipment and training of personnel; after 4 months, while performing one of the combat missions, his life was divided into before and after. on april 24, in the bakhmut direction , ilya and a friend were once again driving for ammunition, the noise of an engine in their ears atv, a stunning drone strike for a few seconds, we were suddenly stunned and i started to roll to the left, there on the atv it has such holders on the side that you hold on to, i didn’t understand why at that moment and... i fell, there were several of me there once

he tumbled on the ground, in fact, when i sat down on the ground, i was thinking what happened, i turned my hand, well, my head to the right side, but my hand was gone, only then in the bushes, where a comrade in arms dragged him to rewind him shoulder, he will understand that these were fragments ukrainian drone, i was walking straight and thinking, well , where is there another one, because they were really hunting for single ones. soldiers, ilya’s arm muscles were torn right down to the joint, his right leg and jaw were damaged from the explosion, ilya completely lost hearing in his right ear. wife yulia, of course, guessed about the injury, but she pushed all these thoughts away from herself, they still remember that telephone conversation, he called and said, are you home, i say yes, and the children, i say too, he says, go away so that didn't hear, well, i... what happened, i went to

another room, he told me then that i was wounded, my arm was not torn off, well, the first state of shock, of course, and then further, when we had already talked, i, holding back my tears, went to my mother, burst into tears, that she had been sobbing into her pillow for a day , ilya, she, of course, didn’t tell, she left four children with her mother in a neighboring city, a few days later she was already in moscow, in the hospital, she recognized her husband.

children have breakfast, get dressed, and now even make household chemicals. well, actually, this is our main place, the place where we will introduce development, our laboratory, this laboratory is separate for household chemicals. ilya and his partners rented this small room a year ago, converted it into a chemical laboratory, and now they come up with the composition of laundry gel, soap and dishwashing detergents here. this is a gel. for washing already, which you made, well, yes, this is our development, we just gave it away, as if for testing, my wife is already washing with this shower gel, for washing, yes, yes, yes, ilya jokingly calls yulia’s head a test landfill, he plans to release a care product a line of shampoos and conditioners for beauty salons, here we mix the components to obtain the finished composition, after that this... composition is poured into

cubes and we take it to another point, where this composition is already packaged in metal cylinders under pressure . well, when our film crew talked about the plans of our next hero, ilya novoseltsev even thought about joint cooperation. cut my hair as usual, twenty-nine-year-old vadim yagodin in velikiy ustyug already says every second client, everyone knows him here, he said everything at once, i will constantly come to you, since then i have been a regular client, every month i keep coming to him.

that vadim is not just one of the best craftsmen in the city, but a real hero, clients know it too, they say, that’s why they come, they trust. now you look, yes, it seems as if it didn’t happen to us at all, yes, well, looking back at these photographs, even 2 years later, vadim’s mother, natalya , still cannot believe that this happened to their family. vadim wanted to be a teacher since childhood, after school, i even went to pedagogical school, and in my first year i was drafted into the army, after serving. year decided to sign the contract, when they announced the start of the northern military district, they were already on the border between belarus and the bryansk region. on the night of february 22-23, when few people even understood what was happening, he was driving for ammunition. returning, we saw some

columns, which we suddenly didn’t understand, literally a few hours later they announced that he had started the north military district. at that moment i quickly unloaded the kamaz truck. ours were unloaded and handed over from us back to ours commanders, then the commander told other ammunition, where and how to load it. then, in february 22, vadem found himself in the kiev direction, one of the most difficult in the northern military district. he carried ammunition to strengthen the positions of the russian military. it was scary, to be honest, very much, that is, there were moments when i had to drive through the bombing, that is , there in general at speed through narrow streets. behind this nervous smile he hides fear, which he did not fully show to his family. but vadim’s mother, being here in veliky ustyug, found it unbearably difficult to hold on. i called ministry of defense every other day. i called the military prosecutor’s office, and they told me

that so-and-so was not on the list of dead, wounded, or missing, that is, they let me go a little, a day passed, i called again, i... clarified, then there were, i will say, hellish moments, but she lit candles for the health of her son and believed, believed that he was alive, and the first phone call, a month later, she also remembers, word for word, it seems that it was very - a very long time ago, well, actually, i think it’s about an incident many, many years ago it will be... so remembered, they feel when they are waiting at home, when they are worried at home, vadim said that i still felt when you were in a bad mood there, when you were crying, hysterical, that is, there is such a thing, and the connection between the mother and as a child,

natalya probably finds out that there in ukraine her son will receive a shrapnel wound in the back only when vadim returns home, from march 19 to 20 at night. another combat mission, three of vadim’s comrades were blown up by a mine, and later the entire company was subjected to a massive attack by ukrainian militants, for twenty-nine-year-old vadim, this was then the first battle in his life, for the first time under a bomb he did not wear anything, he only ran in slippers and machine guns. it was then that a fragment of one of the shells treacherously hit vadim in the back, but the fighter then, in a state of passion, did not even pay attention to him. attention, i discovered it the next day, that is, while we were sitting on duty, and it doesn’t hurt, but itches, i think it itches, and i feel that my clothes are clinging, i ask a friend, well, look, he lights it with a flashlight, says: oh, oh you have a fragment here,

i’m like, i mean, he says, literally, like there’s a piece of metal sticking out, no important organs were hit, after a month in the hospital he returned to the front line, vadim’s contract ended. am i doing painting, i say that not yet, but in the near future i’m going to go and learn. the shutunovs moved to the oryol region from belgorod back in march of twenty-two, they have been engaged in agriculture for more than 10

years, we also have animals, that is, goats, ducks, and so on. i would say our goats are the best goats in world, they produce very tasty milk. elena realized that agriculture was her life’s work as a child. i myself am a city yarostovo resident, i am a child of the concrete jungle, but i really always wanted to live in the village, i always liked it. then i married sasha, who did the same. a city dweller, but he also likes it, he dreamed of a village, well, he often

went to visit his relatives in the village, by the way, in the oryol region, even though they were in the city, they had a farm, and alexander also taught them to take care of their hair. . elena's husband protects homeland in the northern military district zone, left for mobilization in september twenty-two, the day after we bought a house in the oryol region. my husband and i chose this house on september 20th. yeah, we returned home, and on the morning of the twenty- first they announced mobilization, on the twenty -second we were on the bus when they took my husband, for me it was, well, i don’t know how part of me was cut off, it was very difficult for me during these 2 years while alexander was there on the front line, lena was able to expand production, now i will show you our cheeses, usually... i prepare for saturday, because on saturdays, my son goes to the market, there is a whole

line of cheeses, adege with provençal herbs, nuts, paprika, with dried apricots and almonds, this is what the shatunov family’s table looks like, everything of their own, cheese, condensed milk, cheesecakes, bread, let’s go now we’ll also try, evaluate, and even during our filming, my husband’s call, the conversation is not long... to say that everything is fine, everything is fine, come on, i kiss you, dear. elena and alexander met in gelendzhuk 16 years ago. on the third day he proposed to her. lena carefully keeps here is this note, with love from the army. this is my first birthday that i celebrated without my husband. “i’m sorry, everything is fine, and

somehow he was able to send flowers from there for his birthday, with this note, we had terrible bad weather, i don’t know how the guys got here, the couriers, but it was worth it.” surprises for the shutunov family are a family thing. when alexander returned on vacation for the first time, 9 months after mobilization, on his own birthday, elena decided to meet him at the station, dressed as a bear. when alexander was given the agenda, lena was nearby. similar to the feelings of a lost child. we, in principle, for 15 years , it turns out that at that moment the most we

separated was when sasha walked to work at night that day they waited for almost six months on the pier of the main railway station in the city of orel at 14:11 on the sixth track they meet. how are you, dear, amazing, great, sasha,

motorized rifleman, he says, at first it was scary, then you get used to it, when the summons came, i decided for myself right away, i would n’t run, i could have not opened the door, i could have not gone, for that nothing would have happened, at that time there weren’t even laws about it, i wasn’t used to running if it... even where it’s sometimes especially hot, he and his comrades try to distract themselves from the sounds of shelling. they arrange their everyday life, read letters from children, about the house, who has any plans, about everything, well, this is what you share, what you tell, as a rule, i am shocked by the volume of land, property, and that my wife and son are coping with it, that well, you are so

loud, now you will eat, calm down, calm down. "everything, everything, calm, calm, for artyom, his dad is not only a real hero, but also an example of how to build a family, their relationship can be taken as an example, there are all sorts of those who swear, quarrel, disagree, my parents are not like that, how long have they lived together, they, as far as i know, have never quarreled, well, in the future you would like such a family, of course, now..." the plans for these 14 days that sasha is on vacation are to plow a new field for seedlings, lay out flower beds, go to the market, and of course, to spend time together, several at a time, artists, well, above the somoshchal, on in these photographs the family of the shermetyevs and

zastrohanya, on the pyron the wife and children accompany their hero to the combat zone for a whole year. and during this time, while oleg is not at home, the family business will fall on elizabeth’s shoulders. from such an ugly board, he makes very beautiful things. this particular product will then be laser cut, and it will turn out to be a very beautiful puzzle. elizaveta and oleg sheremetyeva are engaged in the production of souvenirs. at first it was the wife’s hobby, then the husband got involved too. generally on my knees in the garage, that’s why initially it was, i don’t know, there was probably a drill and a hammer, and then he had to master carpentry and a welding machine in order to implement all the ideas. in the twenty-second year , oleg volunteered for the northern military district zone, after his service he won a grant and became one of

the entrepreneurs, with the amount received he opened a workshop. these shots were taken a year ago, when he admits that if he hadn’t trusted his wife, then it’s unlikely that anything would have worked out at all, she’s my designer, and my accountant, well, she’s also an esm guy, and an advertiser, then my wife does all this, so i’m very lucky with my wife, without her i wouldn’t have been able to do anything, now oleg is again in the svo zone, whenever possible he sends videos, and my wife lisa believes and waits. oleg sheremetyev made several attempts to go to the front as volunteers, but they were not accepted based on age. as a result, i managed to get into the akhmat special detachment. he first went to the lugansk people's republic, in january twenty-third they stormed solidar in the donetsk region. lisa, how now she remembers all

the emotions when the first call, hello, i’m alive. the first time he got in touch, well, probably 20 days later, and it was my son’s birthday, and i’ve been walking around since this morning, i think, well, today he ’ll definitely find an opportunity to somehow give news, at least somehow call, and indeed, as if he found the opportunity to call at least for these couple of minutes to congratulate his son, sixteen-year-old arina and eight-year-old nikita consider their dad, of course, a hero, he is very worried about not only his family, but for his country and... he considers it's his duty to go where he should be, oops, catch, uh, these oleg shremetyev will see the footage for the first time in our report; the family once again reminds them that they are waiting for him at home. alesh, i want to turn to

you, give you a big, big hello, tell you that i love you very much, very much, you know that. we are really waiting for you, we are very worried about you, we are worried. our next heroes, now like no one else, know what a military brotherhood is. both motorized riflemen fought in the kupinsky direction. in the twenty-second year they were seriously wounded. after a long rehabilitation, we decided to start working for ourselves unusual thing, flowers. message. from us, but it will be possible to buy you one for 1,500, without ready-made ones, so i can give you one like this at a discount, 1,800, but i ’ll make it for you for 1,500. customers already know this flower shop at the skhodninskaya metro station; the selection may still be small, but all the flowers are always fresh. evgeny zuev tried

to find himself in the flower business back in the nineties, then he went into taxi. and now, 30 years later, i decided to return again, only this time not alone. i proposed the idea to a comrade in arms, with whom were on the front line together. exactly flowers, yes, i suggested it, because it’s familiar to me, where did you start, how did it all happen? we rented the premises and started working. both went to the front after mobilization, were assigned to motorized rifle troops, met there, and we are now learning how to pick a bouquet.

a manager, yeah, but he was never the owner of a business, before he went to the front, he worked in one of the computer assembly companies, but becoming a military man has been a dream since childhood, so when the summons came in september on the twenty-second, he decided to immediately defend his homeland, he will go, dima was one of the youngest in his company, says the military brotherhood, the main thing is at the front, one in the field is not a warrior, as they say, it doesn’t matter here, that is, even if you are wounded, you owe then... several people, and if you’re not a good person, it’s not a fact that i’ll crawl after you, but for dema, my comrades just crawled and saved their lives, on one of

the watches their position was attacked by a ukrainian drone, on parsage, that is, buzzing, i don’t know how to describe it, probably like a washing machine on a spin cycle, because i’m in the hospital i was afraid, honestly, well, he caught up with me, i didn’t point at the house, i walked away a little. to the side, failure, i’m sitting on the fifth point, my ears are ringing, from the side i just see my ankle boot, i didn’t realize right away that i had no legs, then surgery, hospital, long recovery, and the most difficult thing is to tell my family, until the last moment he said that everything was fine with him, the parents saw him for the first time a few months later, when they came to pick him up from the hospital, there was such a scene in the parking lot, a son without a leg, a connection that did not go out, or rather how... he always said that he had everything is fine, he said that everything is fine, then you come back and yes, yes, yes, but how dad took it, well, with restraint, mother reassured, but

by the time we got home, uh-huh, mother had already calmed down, no matter how she showed emotions in front of me, i know that i still cried for a couple of nights, but if you cry and get upset, she won’t grow up, marrying one of those comrades who always supported dima, because what is it? if you didn’t have such vision, you need to buy glasses like these. in samara, a veteran of the northern military district in his workshop unites fighters who are currently undergoing long-term rehabilitation. i

i saw a lot of guys, without arms, without legs, they were not crying because they were in pain, they were crying because they had young families, how would they feed the disabled. in the past , he was a reconnaissance officer, he commanded a platoon of a rocket artillery battalion, and even despite all his military experience, he admits to our film crew that he was afraid, sometimes he was worried that he would no longer see his grandchildren, and we were showered in such a way that, to be honest, the only thoughts were that we won’t see our loved ones anymore, after leaving the service due to age, i couldn’t sit idle, i wanted to help... people, learned the basic skills of entrepreneurship and opened his own workshop, here veterans of the northern military district now restore icon frames, lay out diamond mosaics, master classes by evgeniy

radaev, and fighters. they always look forward to it, they say they come here as if it’s their home. stucco molding helps develop fine motor skills of the hands, since i have a plate in my hand, it helps me a lot, it’s the same physical therapy, and also peace of mind. these activities are very important, because he begins to socialize and acquires some kind of communication, firstly, is important so that a person does not withdraw into himself, in his thoughts, in his experiences, in his memories. evgeniy leonidovich plans to open workshops in other areas so that not only fighters from the northern military district zone, but also people with disabilities will come here. each of the heroes of our report has their own story and plans for the future. someone else

has more to come. new training, someone may even find a new job in life, but everyone now knows for sure that life after shelling, evacuation and even severe wounds and long-term rehabilitation continues. for us, if it’s a sport, then it’s with records, if it’s a holiday, then it’s a national one. we love traditions, we honor our history, we value family and strong

relationships. and we admire how the country is blossoming, even more achievements await us, fall in love with the country more at the russia exhibition. we are used to watching videos online. has it stopped working? install, open, look. russian channels - all series, movies and cartoons, educational programs. and documentaries, we watch, we watch in the application or on the website.
