people who are sixty five thousand. in a record setting trip by land air sea and others face. a limp torch relay. on r t r g dot com. of course my health isn't what it used to be before i was rounded up but i'm trying to get back in shape right now i'm trying to get as fit as a special forces officer is supposed to be. i'm preparing my family and friends for the idea that i'm not going to resign if i tried to explain to them there's no one who's ever going to take my place on the missions we carry out i just have to learn the lesson of my wound. i enlisted in the army at the age of eighteen i was at college then finishing my

first year i left when my summer examinations were in full swing and went to a suspects not seen it before. you know i'm fully aware of what happened and what could have happened in that battle i've long since prepared myself for any possible outcome. there are still people who tried to make me change my mind to convince me that i should resign how could i do that if it's what i remember joy that's what i live for and. just i'm not going to plan anything now. these military services taught me one very important thing to make no plans for the future ever i could be returning from a combat mission with other guys now but fate decided otherwise.

i was lucky to stay alive and. now i'm going to mourn those who died at you when you. get up of course i would like to get it crimson. being a true warrior and that's what i aspire to. but for now i have to focus on restoring my health and when the time comes i'll do my very best to pass the exam so that i too can wear their crimson. with only a very convincing and endurance test five sets of ten push ups ten pulling your legs on to your chest and ten jumps any questions no questions will assume front support position on my count. one two three. where you as spetznaz soldier must progress and improve. you there's no point shouting that

you're the toughest guy around of them because there's always someone tougher. to do. yet. is the job to get paid for it will take a certain delight in doing it in this world. there's no point thumping your chest boasting about being a member of the special forces i never liked that sort of thing. people often mistake me for a period trooper or a marine once called out in the street look there goes a crimson beret. people are reluctant to sit next to me on the buses there are three. percent reason many believe that are boneheaded guerrillas who can't think properly and they're only good for

hurting people and fighting for the work of the. board a flight is what tells you if you are ready you don't know what will happen tomorrow and then what situations your skills might come in handy the more you exercise the more easily you'll pass the test it was easier for you to earn the crimson brave and some others it just means you work harder journey training. the aim of these exams is to test our physical fitness i'm convinced there are no limits to what the human body can do there are only psychological barriers and inspects now even when you can't go on any longer and somehow you do it anyway. the most important thing is to break through the psychological barrier after that

everything is easy. brother special forces. see it as blood. you convince yourself that you have to do it. if i hadn't passed the test i wouldn't have the chevrolet to seal me now. i also really want to go back where a on the uniform i'm. all these factors together were very powerful incentive for me. he would wear this brain any weather even when it was freezing cold i remember him coming to say beer wants to spend the winter holidays with me she got off the train with the screams and barry and his head people were turning to look at him because he ears were blue with cold but he was so proud to be able to wear the b. ray. and soul of the party. hold

jockey competitions within the squad and you get me took part in every one of them during missions we used to make up sketches it's just that it was always brilliant at all. and i got called in for people literally cried with laughter. you can code must push the horse i'm. sure i'm glad. you know who i am sergeant do you know. if i keep going through this footage again and again and all the emotion i felt then washes over me again i can't seem to get my head around the idea that if he's no longer with us.

when i went away on my first deployment i was very nervous but i'm from siberia and we went to the south of the country everything was different even the people that deployment was a long one it lasted a full ten months it all seems so much easier now because i've got the hang of it at last. but we learned what our task would be twenty four hours before the attack the f.s.b. had informed us about a group of militants in a particular area we had to come the ground for them. i saw a trodden path leading into a bush and noticed a hatch i pointed it out to the commander and at that moment i was wounded. some with the battle only lasted for about five maybe seven minutes. ever. thing

happened very quickly because the movie of the with. the terrorists were hiding out in their lead and the other half they were lying in ambush nearby and they started shooting at us from the bushes all of the same time and from several different directions. we the militants decided to try and break through it with her give you any apple screaming grenade. or men so i'm throwing himself onto it the explosion blew him or run his back and it was all over all of us. when we approached the militants hideout you know they had the advantage because we weren't expecting an attack. that's why we suffered such losses. but we did retaliate well that we completed our task every single one got what was

coming to them. and put up a number of if right after the assault we didn't know exactly who was wounded and who was killed so more later the commander reported casualties and said him of his dead or you know i didn't believe in the tryst or who. in the neighborhood down all of them is took off my gear and cried. which of your journey was in duty on the night of the twenty fifth of january and stuck in my memory she were the laptop from one of the guys i switched on the computer and so that she was in skype the she was looking at me on intently i asked what's that all the boat i haven't changed we'll meet very soon and he answered no i want to see you now that's what i remember more than anything else. so on deployment everything is different to the group is more close knit when we start an

operation there are fifteen soldiers with the commander in charge we know that our comrades and our commander won't leave us no matter how tough it gets we are team. city. so most of the military base is the place where your home and your family are. all that fuss will attract you but on a mission a man reveals his true colors. after the first deployment but a lot of people leave special forces which legacy of some of them realize it's simply not for them those who do stay though they make up a reliable team so you won't be afraid of going anywhere with them even to the moon . when.

the when some of our guys go on a combat mission. before they leave. for them to return safe and sound with no losses. school we say the number of beignets going oh no it should be the same coming back to their homeland. i passed the exam and now i can wear the special forces insignia everything's great i have no regrets now i'm thinking about signing up for a second tour of duty. i

play as street cleaner who's in love with a waitress i go on stage managing that there's an audience i used to take drugs and drink like a fish called the police told me about the circus but i was such a punk i was like what circus. or circus is clearly comes down and we break down stereotypes about kids from disadvantaged backgrounds. they look like bounty islands where the locals can enjoy the sun and the ocean. but

that was buried here years ago. means these people are suffering the consequences. how much more poison lies on the ground. behind this zone there is what we call the callet bank on which there is a deposit of plutonium left by security test which caused the dispersion already and you clyde's despite previous cleaning efforts there remains a deposit of a little less than two kilos of plutonium stuck in the rock and the coral reef with about ten metres down. tests a never ending legacy. plus defines a country's success please faceless figures of economic growth. for a factual standard of living.
