on a part of eastern siberia in the valley of the middle yenisei, it occupies the left-bank half of the minusinsk basin from moscow to the center of the republic of abakan by rail. about 4.400 km. the travel time will be three days , the flight by plane will take 4 1/2 hours, but for now it is a small city by modern standards with a population of about 200,000 people. it is one of the greenest cities in russia, parks and squares occupy almost a third of its territory. the city has several theaters on the cathedral square is the most beautiful orthodox church of the city of the savior transfiguration cathedral journey. through khakassia, it allows you to look into the complete secret history of the peoples who inhabited these lands. the khakass valleys store thousands of archaeological monuments left by the ancient population of the minusinsk basin. five kilometers northwest of
4:41 am
abakan, the steppe stretches, historians call it the valley of the kings. here, in the production of 5 km , there are 56 large burial mounds ; they were built by the siberian scythian tribes; scientists named this archaeological culture after the place the first tagar archaeologists, the scythians of the tagards, inhabited these places in the eighth third centuries bc . the leader's eye socket was found to have a grassy mass. the mouths were plastered over, white with clay, it is possible that
4:42 am
the funerary mask was made that had already been killed to do so. all soft tissues. the bones were removed and fastened. that is, it was the mummy which put on display, perhaps even carried around the state, so that all the tribal peoples who obeyed him could say goodbye to him. in that era, people lived to be 40 years old. here, and he lived almost 75. well, we don’t know his name, but we know that he was more powerful in the 5th century bc on the territory of this state of the tagans. there could not be such a person. the excavations helped scientists to understand the structure of the royal kurgan - an embankment in the form of a pyramid. it reached a height of 30 m. the base of the kurgan is a square 70x70 m. stone slabs with corner steles, two or three human heights, according to preliminary
4:43 am
estimates. the heaviest of them can weigh about 70 tons. unusual stones stand at the foot of the kurgan, the shape of one of them resembles the handle of a dagger stuck in the ground of the second quiver, perhaps in this way the highlanders wanted to tell that the great commander was buried here. on the sandstone slabs , one can still see ancient drawings from the kiev time and later kyrgyz tanks, numerous generic family signs archaeological finds are stored in the khakassian national museum of local lore in abakan in khakassia in 1722, the first scientific excavations of russian archaeologists were carried out. from each of the epochs of human history in the minusinsk basin, their monuments remained at the end of the bronze age. in the third second
4:44 am
millennium bc. tribes lived here who erected such stone statues with mysterious masks. most of the monuments were left by warlike scythian tribes in tagar barrows; decorations in the famous animal style and weapons. the tagar wars are armed with such weapons - this is a real real dagger, if there were horse wars that were armed with daggers, checks, bows, here the dagger was used, of course, most likely for close combat, but it saved up in attacks. naturally, a nutritious ax, chekan, and so on. the era is the era of warriors. and the entire great degree was filled with military clashes and campaigns. uh, this is such a peculiar era. how can you compare the era of the great migration in europe when thousands
4:45 am
tribes move from their place and participate in military operations, resettlement, and so on and so forth. the era was replaced by another no less stormy and warlike in 2001 bc, the khakass minusinsk basin was conquered by the nomads of the xiongnu, the turkic-speaking tribes gradually penetrated here in the period from the sixth to the ninth centuries of our era . this is a heavy cavalry. during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the inhabitants of khakassia were attacked by neighbors, especially from the side of the dzhungars at the beginning of the 18th century, the dzungars captured most of the population of the minusinsk basin, realizing that protection from their devastating invasions
4:46 am
could only come from the russian state . the khakasses became part of the russian empire. in 1707, the first abakan ostrog was built. 10 years later, sayansky, on the border with dzungaria, kazakh garrisons settled down, the village of arbaty, the tashtyp district of khakassia , was founded in the second half of the 18th century by a cossack family. in one of the traditional of the now operating museum were sent from krasnoyarsk province. and periodically after a certain change over time. such an existence was painful for the military cossacks, and they asked for the formation of a cossack village of a stanitsa on this territory . well, the hut in which you are located belonged to a cossack, no one
4:47 am
nikolaevich sivkin was. on may 6, 1896, the interior-museum hut is decorated with photographs of cossacks from family archives of the inhabitants of the modern village. many of them are the descendants of the first settlers and the russians were disturbed in the 20th century by the revolution and the subsequent civil war. in the village of chury , 90 km south of abakan, there is a monument to the events of the civil war, the obelisk recalls the battle at the end of october 1919 between the white guards and the red partisans. the estate of the gold miner ivanitsky in the village of chebaki, shirinsky district of khakassia is one of the most famous architectural monuments associated with the civil war since 2020. here partisan or insurrectionary

4:49 am
during the great patriotic war, being in the rear of the inhabitants of the region, they supplied coal, timber, non-ferrous metals for the needs of the army hundreds of thousands of tons of grain, meat, milk, wool, products from cats, fur coats in the republic, several evacuation hospitals worked at the front of the great patriotic war, about 75,000 residents of the region were called up, 33 hero of the soviet union and 13 full cavaliers of the order of glory, originally from khakassia we we are on a mountain, which in russian is called samokhval, the khakass name for this mountain and torchins. this is the name of the hero who, according to legend, is buried here. it is clear that this bogatyr was distinguished by courage and strength and was the defender of this land in the medieval era in 2015, at the initiative of the council of the
4:50 am

4:51 am
did says moscow is transmitting an important government message. without any declaration of war, the german
4:52 am
armed forces attacked the borders of the soviet union by the time yuri levitan brought this terrible war to the citizens of the vast soviet union, the war had already left with might and main . the first victims have already become known to the first heroes who fought to the end with by the advancing enemy and simultaneously came reports that too many were forced to retreat, sometimes succumbing to the general panic of the first hours of the german invasion. and more often, simply not having the means to resist, these were infantrymen and artillerymen, to whom pilots and tankmen
4:53 am
did not deliver ammunition on time. brest fortress. worse , i already remembered how e beat. they discovered the heavily guarded border guard, who was lying behind the machine gun at that moment, just came the order to retreat. the soldiers offered the border guard, who remained in their memory as an unknown hero, to depart with them, but he refused, next to him there were still several full disks with machine gun cartridges. and he said, this is my outpost and my post, as long as i'm alive, i won't leave here, brest fortress. one of the most striking examples of the heroism of soviet soldiers after its final conquest, for which the nazis needed truly colossal hitler's efforts were brought to the ruins of the defeated bastion by the leaders of the italian fascists. zenith
4:54 am
to demonstrate to him the strength of the nazi army, after all, even centuries old. not the fortresses were turned into small crumbs after many days of shelling and bombing, but mussolini first of all saw his other attention on the dilapidated walls, the defeated citadels attracted the inscription to him , they explained that they were made by the hands of the soviet soldiers defending the fortress, then mussolini asked to translate one of them to him motherland i'm dying, but i don't give up wrote an unknown soldier musli did not remain silent, but he apparently made conclusions, because when he returned to italy he told his close associates that it was impossible to fight against this people . the brest fortress held out more than the entire french world during world war ii. and they just didn’t make it and blew it up and even let it go there.
4:55 am
we filmed in places where fierce battles really took place, when our border outposts were the first to meet the armada of fascist equipment with a multimillion-strong army. and when i read the script, i was first of all bribed, there was a human destiny. there there was a piercing moment of expectation of a terrible misfortune. i remember the scenes when marina leftova and vera sotnikova, who play the roles of the wife of these two officers of the frontier post commander and are watered myself, which i won, and at night dig a mass grave with their hands on their nails to bury the dead soldiers. artilleryman anatoly shuluchko still remembers what he saw at
4:56 am
the frontier post . tanks. the tanks had already surrounded the outpost and forced only one machine gun to work in essence, all the outposts died, the people were their commander. the head of the outpost died. here, at the machine gun, there was the wife of the head of the outpost, a son of 12 years old, and one soldier. here are the three alive from the whole composition. i turned my weapon around. two tanks were knocked out and a shell went off from us. in total , there were seven shells, in addition to two anti-tank shells, two high-explosive and three anti-throw. and then the soldier had to roll the gun to the side and occupy it. he is against german tanks and submachine gunners with pistols and carbines in their hands.
4:57 am
as a gunner, i had a pistol, and the rest had carbines, and we had already repulsed the attack of the submachine gunners on the cavalrymen. ours in the horse ranks, as there were no cartridges, sabers on goal and their regiment commander, major breykel, led the water attack on his regiment and drove the germans 8 km beyond the border, and then barely escaped from there, he was already surrounded by a tank, but it still knocked out a shell for pushing, as an artilleryman they brought it up only on the second day, simply because the ammunition depot, due to some for reasons incomprehensible from a logical point of view , was located several kilometers from the location of the unit itself, and therefore the carts sent for ammunition turned around faster. they just couldn’t when the artillerymen finally had it. then there were shells. they provided our soldiers with such art support that they were able to hold the border in this area for another 5 days, and the germans
4:58 am
had already taken lvov for 60 km. at that time, we only had a command to retreat, and we essentially retreated at night during the day, stopped and took up defensive positions, resisted, because during the day, it was impossible for aviation to retreat, german aviation strangled. in those first days of the war, in general, it worked, exceptionally accurately and competently, not without reason, even before the fateful day of june 22 , german reconnaissance aircraft constantly flew over the soviet border, however, by order from moscow, they did not touch them. there was an order in the fortieth year that the planes that violated the hunter's border should be opened in the water. they strongly began to violate the order received to force the landing at their airfield. well, which pilot will go to the enemy airfield, if
4:59 am
he, it seems, opens up, of course, did not follow these commands and should, bro, heading towards his territory. on the morning of june 22, anatoly korol and his fellow pilots never received an order to shoot, moreover, even if they wanted to open fire on the enemy, then it would be simply impossible to do so. the fact is that the day before the start of the war, an order came dismantle aircraft weapons. a command was received to prepare for the exercises, around july 19 , weapons were removed from the aircraft and unexpectedly at 4:00 approximately wednesday combat readiness. well, you thought that this would be an exercise. however, at 4:30 in the morning, the germans from schmidt appeared over the airfield and opened fire, which was nothing to try to shoot, just drive the enemy away, stupid and extremely dangerous, but there
5:00 am
were no options for a headlight. dima fisted the commander. he noticed this plane, as there were no weapons. but this plane, shot down at the cost of the forced heroism of our pilot, was only a reconnaissance aircraft after 5 minutes. the airfield on which part of anatoly the king was based was subjected to severe bombardment. and the germans bombed. so exactly what was completely clear, they clearly know where and what they are located and how to inflict the greatest intelligence of the enemy, they really did a lot on the eve of the war. it should be noted directly that they were good. the location, of course, of our border outposts is known. these were excellent reference points for artillery for enemy aircraft in the future. they went where without for the warehouse they are putting up a tent. it was in the forest. they are
5:01 am
all on this, fortunately the data is nearby. and flew out offended throwing if and stunned somewhere in 6:00 there with a beggar they put me up to reconnaissance. i saw the border, the border was on fire on june 22, and the przemysl border detachment and the ninety-ninth rifle division were driven out of the city of przemysl well on the night of june 23, a combined detachment of border guards under the command of a captain. irrigation of water together with a unit of the ninety-ninth structural division. he knocked out the germans from the soviet part of remysl a and so on, just for the first time in the western press it was published that the russians were advancing . 15 to 30 minutes. they calculated that
5:02 am
the length of the section of the new border of the ussr , which was the first to be attacked , was 4,000 520 km 62 people, and this was precisely the composition of the average soviet border. you have to defend six eight, and sometimes 10 km of the state border, while according to the draft soviet field charter of the thirty-ninth year, 11 km were considered the defense zone of an entire rifle division armed , including artillery, but the germans knew that from heavy weapons. at every outpost there are only machine guns. maxim up to a couple of degtyarev light machine guns, the main armament is three-line rifles, meticulous germans. nikolai kononenko was not mistaken, who met the dawn on june 22 at the soviet border along the river, a pond in bessarabia is exactly remembered. how many people were at his outpost and what they were armed with was an outpost of only 45
5:03 am
people armed with three shaposhnikov assault rifles why three because the head of the torrentama had assistants and a political instructor in these mosque automatic weapons, and the rest was so three-denievich to the germans. it was obvious that in such a composition and with such weapons , the frontier post was physically unable to defend the border from the regular army, but the very first minutes of the battle showed that the calculations of these broken pennies cost the division, so to speak, the regiments in the pre- french army. through the news, after the start of the war, they surrendered, threw out a white flag, what did the border guards say there forced how much to force a person? well, 350 maximum. they certainly expected it, but they were mistaken here. this, it seems to me, was the first signal that a witness that in
5:04 am
in the end, the german troops are waiting for big trouble, despite the weak armament , the outpost held out for one hour or more at the baltic border district. after 25 caught the attack. a few hours later they set up a fire sack for the german forward units, they camouflaged themselves along the road, set up machine guns, and when the german forward patrol entered and he was completely shot, when the german offensive began, novikov, the commander of the fifteenth frontier post, was in gas. realizing that something terrible is happening. he took he disguised himself as a defense in the hollow of an oak tree, as only border guards could do with him, he had a degtyarev machine gun and a good supply of ammunition during june 22. on this section of the border, the germans could not pass only at night, seriously wounded, he was captured by the germans. they took him to the territory of poland , and here he died. i must say that the germans really
5:05 am
appreciated how the soviet border guards resisted, and therefore, after a very long time, an order was invented that roughly reads as follows: border guards, damn it, do not take destroy on the spot. if there were border guards or sailors against them, they always taught them to be very afraid. there was such a case already on the korean front, for about 40 years the german officer of the forward offensive team answered him. let the germans advance. he again forward, and then he saw a green cap, the guards hid behind a stone. a poignant footage, when two exhausted soldiers alone, the wounded who lost all the soldiers , raises the post of the border of the soviet union for sure, they will not survive. we understand it because the germans had already gone far on the bridge, and yet.
5:06 am
they protect our earth to the last bullet. but the most offensive thing for the border guards was that they knew better than anyone about the timing of the start of the war, because the border intelligence was reliable and accurate. and most importantly , the border guards repeatedly reported their findings to moscow to the border intelligence. she revealed the training of the german troops , their gradual deployment of occupying these positions, the border guards knew perfectly well that everything was going great, but, however, the leadership of the names top leadership of the country. it still thought that it would be possible to delay not succumb to provocations. somewhere a few days before the start of the war, you could hear at night the noise
5:07 am
of the engine in the country, you could see the tanks were approaching. they were slowly reporting it higher up, but i 'll tell you. and yes, just about 4 o'clock at about 5 minutes past five , mortar artillery wars were opened. however, for another 3 days, the border outpost of nikolai kononenko managed to hold back the enemy. moreover, this war full of heroism went on in complete isolation from the world, a connection that, in the old fashioned way, was conducted not through radios, but through telephone wires was destroyed by the germans in the first place. it has long been so much wired interception of everything, how to shell these wires. pererebili at the beginning thought it was?
5:08 am
well, just some kind of provocation, you know, we didn’t know what it was called, by the way, whatever some researchers said, there were no radio communications at the beginning of the war and our pilots in the air were forced to exchange signs in order to somehow understand each other. friend talking to the navigator, he looks at you through the windshield you show. what to do in the beam of naval aviation, in which alexander presnyakov served, they learned about the beginning of the war only from the radio broadcast at the moment when vyacheslav molotov addressed the people, the government of the soviet union expresses unshakable confidence that our valiant armies and that's the brave people.
5:09 am
but even after that, for another 2 whole days, the combat vehicles stood on the ground, the pilots went crazy with inactivity, because they perfectly understood that somewhere there was a battle going on, somewhere people were dying, whom they could help, why no one did not give them orders to attack the enemy? why because there was almost no connection with stalin where you dig up there was almost no connection with khlebalova. well, that is, we were without communication, the germans, bombed riga on the second day, flew in from the bombed and great. we worked on the ships in the port on the third morning. of course, we are boiling over the radio, listening to hearing that defensive battles, heavy
5:10 am
battles, and so on will leave. there, then enemy aircraft. attacked a number of our airfields and settlements, we beat 65 enemy aircraft. sov inform iro ragged poorly armed and elementary hungry our soldiers continued their retreat. yes, and what was left for them, if no one even in the leadership really understood what was happening and how it happened at all, perhaps the lecturer of the standing headquarters came to us and began to read us a prayer, and today's situation that, in his opinion, we are retreating deliberately.
5:11 am
he left, thank god the commissar really turned out to be smarter than him. he then said that you don’t believe this crazy for naval aviation, and indeed the navy of the soviet union war. started more or less organized. the reason was simple, the ships were ordered in advance to disperse, and to disguise themselves by a sea plane, and most importantly , this order was promptly and in an organized manner , for this simple reason, serious losses. in the first hours of the war, the fleet and naval aviation did not carry aviation. we also disguised ourselves as germans. as a matter of fact,
5:12 am
there are 1,500 aircraft in this devastating first outfit. they destroyed, and the rest remained remained unsuccessfully. fought with the enemy did not forget themselves and the sailors who met enemy on the maritime borders of our motherland , grigory pooh, just in june, began his undergraduate practice on the ship leningrad council. they set sail even before the start of the war, the terrible news caught them at the exit from the baltic , they were reconnaissance course and kronstadt shri pardon fields our family fields german, who managed to set the world like soup with dumplings and it was then the baltic sea sailors overboard, they were given the task . that's it, give the pole and
5:13 am
we will destroy it with explosions. german aviation acted at sea frankly meanly , the germans painted on their planes. red stars. and so the vigilance of the sailors was deceived. only when the ship came under bombardment did it become. it is clear that as a result, during the evacuation of soviet troops and stalin in the waters of the baltic , thousands of soldiers died in the air of the enemy, whose soldiers they tried to transport by ships to the mainland from the ship of grigory the pogrena were saved. ball, this is a bomb, so it's on us, if the egg is a bomb against us as a whole, let's go, and 78 planes flew one by one one by one and when i
5:14 am
remained alone there on the bridge and alive, and the rest all went to the next world. i alone became the cuckoo. the sailor fired back desperately, but the bomb hit the court, to which he was defending, after all, into a huge hole in the board. gushed, ice water. the baltic ship tilted and began to sink, and it was not he alone that day that german planes shot down several of our ships, the surviving soldiers jumped into the water, but german planes finished them off and there, as if having fun, they flew in again and again and opened fire from machine guns on defenseless live targets. have flown away. they only dealt with almost everyone and those who escaped after them were convinced that they would still not swim to the shore, but then a miracle happened at a depth of 280 meters. and when it sank , it sank in about 7 minutes.
5:15 am
i counted around me there were seven people in total who helped us, dolphins helped us, they came, they are smart, animals, no one teaches him, but in fact, they come to the rescue in time of trouble, and after a while ours appeared. boats pulled out of the water everyone who managed to survive in that terrible meat grinder, the rescued sailors swore revenge, they were eager to fight on them, they died here, and there was no replacement for them. so they began to form squads. marine corps, of course, at first the sailors grumbled, none of their business, to fight on land also applied to this and grigory pogrebnoy, however, becoming a marine. he understood what he had experienced. then on a sinking ship it was child's play compared to a bayonet attack, compared to hand-to-hand combat, the germans grappled. shouted ran ran up here hande-hall. crackle. well, yes,
5:16 am
the sailors will come to you, the sailors do not give up and the fight was in this fight. he touched me with his bayonet, but i didn't even feel it , you know. how many fragments of my body are still 16 more fragments sitting in the neck and i did not feel when they pierced from there. today i feel them, this is a very scary thing, where hand-to-hand combat, then ice was a cool bayonet in the month of december already. our and the corpses of the germans could not describe the whole. horror what is the attack behind them? oddly enough, this was done by a woman, yulia drunina,
5:17 am
who wrote, i only saw a hand once once went to him and you took off again in a dream. whoever says that it's not scary in war is nothing. it’s almost like watching death in the eye about war, because if one on one it’s still possible to measure strength, so to speak, but when you don’t know who it is, or whether it’s someone who will stab me, otherwise it’s very scary, but nonetheless. i was strong and now i stayed alive, and the germans were poured. you stabbed had a chance to be in hand-to-hand combat and artilleryman alexander gray, when the shells ran out, for his forty-five. he raised his reckoning. like this here. they say it's not scary, it's not scary, nothing like that was scary. it seems to me that my
5:18 am
hair will stand like this when i left the carbine, the carbine, no bayonet, and i got a german. such a healthy german came across. well, of course, i knew the tricks of repulsing the german rifle, but it hit her in ruka right here. by the arm was broken, the fracture was serious. here it was completely. this is just to justify the arm bent at the elbow, moreover, when shooting scenes of hand-to-hand combat, the stuntman left me so that he broke the cast. me him cut up and taken to the hospital. ilya had to
5:19 am
put on a new cast, his arm hurt like hell, but this, oddly enough, helped. today, the actors are sure that these real physical sufferings of his allowed him to play authentically, because the constant pain gave him the opportunity, at least to some extent, to feel what our soldiers experienced, then in the forty -first. you know, goosebumps? yes , there is a cinematic war, there is a real war, maybe we, his generation , were lucky that we were not in the forty- first on the outposts. the border guards fought the latter, but ended, er, cartridges, thinning in such an attack and these events did not surrender, so that the border guard surrendered his captivity. they preferred surrender to death. these people were, in fact, they were guards, although they were still guards units. we didn't have them appear in such a battle near moscow
5:20 am
. but it really is. it was the best happiness of our armed forces. i have a father of border guards private work. then he excused the big posts in the cities, we lived in a military town, for example, belarus just before war years, thirty-seventh thirty-eighth one happened once and there was photographed caught the border outpost just a week before the start of the great patriotic war, the photograph struck the then-future historian. anatoly ponomarev by the fact that the image. we were real epic knights on it, tall, broad-shouldered with open intelligent faces, beautiful people strong in soul and body, and this caught my eye, and then my father was still alive, i say, he was some kind of special selection, so that he, of course, was the border . it's 2-3 km, sometimes less
5:21 am
already the border strip abroad should be proven people, so the selection was just very, very thorough, so the border troops in this regard and not by chance showed themselves perfectly during the years of the great patriotic war. the enemy was advancing in our unit somewhere with battles somewhere in the pace of frank drape. as the front-line soldiers themselves call it, they went deep into vast russia, and only the border guards retreated with concrete hope for the very near future. the fact is that the border that they heroically defended from the enemy was new. appeared only in thirty-ninth year after hitler took over poland and our troops occupied the territories of western ukraine and western belarus, the new border was not yet fully equipped and poorly fortified. but the old one, with its powerful defensive structures , well thought out, well-built and well-armed, could become for the enemy. a much more serious obstacle
5:22 am
on the nestern river. there were very good defenses there. there were surrenders and bullet points signs of terrorists concrete and there were even uh, these are shelters for tanks. well , they thought i would stop somewhere now, when they are not there, there is nothing there. there was no limit to the amazement of the border guards, they left these fortifications, advancing to new frontiers on june 28, 1940, just a year ago, but in this short period, all weapons on the fortification lines were completely dismantled. now to the enemy. they could only oppose their personal heroism in ukraine to the greatest code committed by lieutenant lopatin from vladimir volynsky border detachment. chief thirteenth outposts in 2013 resisted all offers to surrender.
5:23 am
after this refusal, after 13 days it was simply blown up by a group of lieutenant such kaimanov, who also kept the defense completely surrounded for a week, and then marshal made it and went out with his own weapon and taking all his opponents earlier already on the territory of opponents , in parallel with the border guards, regular army soldiers retreated parts and if past. bread training, the defenders of the border, even leaving the defense lines, acted competently and clearly, then the retreat of other units often more tragic. we saw a terrible picture of the retreat, it was especially pitiful. may set. who was called for the month of may they were not absolutely prepared. they hid under the car, standing on the track. and then they flew into aviation, bombed cars, they didn’t die right away, the retreating units were faced with examples of amazing heroism and much more rare, but from that, no
5:24 am
less shameful examples of outright cowardice. we reached a village. i think it was on the river. we look at slonim of western belarus. our car cannot move the river into the mouth, the counter, guys help him, we'll all go together. take off your boots. push the car the soldiers took off their shoes and left their boots. to the body. gazika, piled on and pushed the stuck truck to the other side. only now the driver did not slow down there, without reducing speed. and different commands were fired at, and the germans threw at the environment, the entering troops
5:25 am
of the former white guards dressed in the uniform of soviet officers gave you fake commands, and so on and so on, they also flew the ball, and all this mass of people played along with a terrible and led to great death. ivan the tradesman still cannot forget the terrible bombardment that he miraculously survived under the villages, kryukovo, he then commanded the so -called sanitary line. i am an orderly from a fool and that means we must make a halt near the village to the hand of one area. the medics began to bombard our floor. they did not have time to help one, as others around them fell to
5:26 am
the ground, others were dead and bandages were wounded. soon they ran out of other dressings, too , there was no chaos left and there was enough confusion of people. i know that i need to run to the meeting by plane. and so, when they swooped in a lot earlier, well, the killed bones start breaking, here's the torn head, everyone screaming screaming only to live help, how much can you? i indicated help and lay towards the planes , and stopped under a large boulder. and at that moment , experienced border guards helped the retreating units of the red army find the right path, but they could not give them a drink and feed them , they could not explain to the confused. why is everything so and not otherwise? why is there nothing to eat and drink and most importantly, why there was nothing to fight with, they did not understand
5:27 am
