on march 24, exactly one month after the start of the special operation in ukraine, i got a call from my arab journalist colleagues. they knew that at that time i was working in the donbass and asked for help. their friend lost contact with his son, who lived in mariupol. you can try again, please. the son's name is adam, father, lion, mother, ukrainian from mariupol, some time before the special operation in ukraine , his parents sent him to his grandparents to learn russian. in mariupol, adam was told that their house had been bombed. father mohamed elbaba began look for a son. when did the fighting start? i

talked to adam almost every day, but on march 3, i called him and he said that the electricity had already been cut off. and that he's running out of battery on his phone. we talked a little. i asked, are you safe now, and now the shelling, he answered. yes, i hear. as the shelling was going on, he was fully dressed, collected valuables and kept them with him and did not come close to the windows. i wanted to call him again, but the next day nothing. she yesterday in a few days i found out that the house in which they were either bombed, or something, it burned down the news differed, by the way, adam's mother also received news all the time trying to

find out where they were, because his grandparents were also with hell on march 1. and this is the last day when the connection on the second day, when i tried to get through, there was absolutely no connection. i was very worried. i started looking for them, eh. i couldn't find my place. well, it's simple. it was the craziest craziest month of my life that could go i'm lucky i have, my friend. fadeev contacted an amazing person alexander i don’t know this guy, he did everything amazing, that is, he instantly responded,

without any hesitation, other things, because you know, in such conditions in war conditions. people are often busy. sometimes they say, let's see what we can do, and he immediately responded when mohamed approached me through my arab colleague and told me about his son. i worked on a series of stories called donbas stories, well, in a landmine under a wave in mariupol, here comes distribution of humanitarian aid. and around us there are fights audible. here explosions, shots very close to the beginning of the second week of lent. i thought that this would be the first time in several years that a strict fast would fail. i wanted to do something useful for the soul at that time, and then the prophet and father of adam adam calls you almost clearly, a guy with the name of the progenitor of the human race and in the bible in the koran and asks you to find him. well, in

general, i took it as a sign. when i checked the address of the house in mariupol boulevard, shevchenko on the map 68, you realized that the task, to put it mildly, will be a difficult house about one and a half kilometers from azov steel. in my mind it was russia's worst place in mariupol i've already seen the war in syria it's next to us myself i'm from lebanon there was a city called aleppo aleppo was completely destroyed, as was mariupol for such a mission. we need those for whom there are no impossible tasks from those whom we knew thanks to our cinematic work. this is the sparta battalion a few days before the call of mohamed vladimir joga vokha, commander sparta, with whom we were friends, died. it happened

when volnovakha provided access to civilians from the city, president putin awarded vladimir zhozha the title of hero of russia, and the mortal foch became the first dpr soldier to receive the title of hero of russia in the donetsk spartan to save civilians not for the first time, so i turned it was to them that he knew that they would not refuse us. when mariupol was under siege, i got photos from adam's mother, she sent me a photo of the burned house at that time, i was not sure if they got out of there or not a day, when fade called and said that alexander was going to go for the atom was one of the most difficult for me why because i understood the inevitability of the answer there were mixed feelings, you know friend, when they arrive there it will turn out to be god forbid

that something happened to hell, and i i get bad news. this day was the most you know thing, not only that it was scary, because at the same time i prayed, i don’t want to say that this is unusual for me. i'm a muslim. i pray all the time. but that day i kept asking god to save adam without stopping, the date of our departure was scheduled for the next day, march 25, the situation these days in mariupol was difficult, the city was still fighting. in him. there were still about 7,000 ukrainian soldiers left. this unit, 36 separate brigade. marine corps 56th and 17th brigades. vssu plus militants. azov foreign mercenaries and terror defense. we are going to one of the hottest spots of special operations. maps

that would show how the front line changes in real time, that is, exactly where where others do not have such a map. there is a plus or minus map for today, but not for the current moment, but when history and the map change before your eyes , it is best to find out the situation at the nearest checkpoint and with your comrades. i asked the guys not to take risks and move from fasting to pasta. deciding how to move forward according to the situation. despite the frequent cannonade outside the window in the armored uaz, i relaxed, as in an armored train, and dozed off. my companions woke me up. we are already in place in mariupol, it turns out, the army of the dpr has just completely liberated shevchenko boulevard. although we could not know this in advance, it turns out that we took a full risk. where do you need

to call in the kursk region, zheleznogorsk and where are you from russia, it was pretty tough, hard scary, and the first fear began with the fact that well, the national battalions, and all their other units. the very first ones began to rob stores, they began to shoot, to scare people away, it came to complete looting on their part. this was originally, when the first shells arrived. i don't think anymore went down to the basement and sat there for about a month. even more than a month every day. yes, it's not every day, every hour every minute. here was hope for me when they come and set us free, when it becomes easier, when i can calmly get out of there without water, without heat. without food, without anything, when we went to the store, at least to take there, at least water, i asked not to say guys, give me water. go

talk from here. and behind the houses you can’t see the tired ones, but explosions and shots are heard from there, and the air literally smells of gunpowder, but the locals are already began to get out of the basements, where they hid both from the crossfire and from the ukrainian warriors. say, uh, you're a boy. you know adam el-babu, we know that. well, tell me, please, what happened to him, where is he, how can we find him? that the evacuation will be carried out from the maitre? this was his place. this was my place. and we lay next to him and discussed. i am a lawyer, so he learned different terms from me. he was interested. but for 15 years i have not seen a bolder guy in most of the men

we saw here on the sleeves, white armbands. this a sign of solidarity with our troops, the troops of the dpr and russia, the same white armbands were on those killed in the bucha, which in itself speaks of who they were enemies for. the ukrainian military use blue ribbon these white armbands like a red rag for a bull. i could not limit myself with local residents to asking only abads, where is the first civilian from the outside world, whom they see during all this time, a few minutes for a conversation and a video message to relatives. we are not much delay. we sit in the basement and survive as cousins. hello everyone, hope for the best. in general, i have a

cousin in belgorod petrenko alone, kaliningrad kaliningrad with vitalia, ivanovich sister, dear. well, it's time for us. adam's story caused a wide response, the lebanese tv channels were really interested in it in the daily news, there were inclusions of adam that he was missing and does anyone know? as he now was such a boat, people were worried. man, let's go, i'll show adam's room from the moment he left for ukraine, his room is empty on the table was

computer bed slides apart. i'm looking forward to his return so i can redecorate the room to his liking. this is a good basketball hoop before leaving for ukraine hell threw the ball. i almost broke the ring, but it did not break, because i told him that it was flexible then that it should not be broken. i sometimes play too. there were only 2 places in mariupol where adam and his grandparents could seek help first humanitarian center of the dpr and russia in the former metro shopping center he is with his grandparents, well, a guy of 16 years old. so they are here all such grandfathers. we spent quite a bit of time here looking out for them in long

lines. inside the field kitchen, their names were called out and they were checked on the list of rations, but to no avail. that if they did not reach, they came under fire or they were taken hostage, as muslims whom ukrainian nationalists held in mariupol in the turkish mosque of sultan suleiman, russian special forces will carry out a special operation to free them only on april 17, but for now on march 25, citizen livanov in mariupol may become same a godsend for hunters for people to bargain. how is the theme muslims? who knows what they will do with our hell, the same azov is known for its islamophobia and hostility towards muslims, it is unlikely that they will regret it if something goes wrong, we decide to continue our search. the second place where he could be nailed down by

hell is the regional hospital number two. points were evacuated one of the places of attraction for people who fled from the hot spots to the part of mariupol liberated by the dpr army and already relatively calm, in addition, they hoped to find here medical care. but back then, medical staff were not sent from the dpr, and all the mariupol hospital staff left it, leaving the patients to their fate with their grandmother, they could not know that if they were injured trying to get out of the city or they needed medical help, most likely if they didn't get into some trouble along the way, they should have come here. those who came here

hoping for help could only count on the help of the walls, the basement in case of shelling. you say that you have been waiting for a long time, azov captured battalion. yes, of course, we even had him and us in the house . m nine-story building 72 apartments all black understood. yes, they held da azov hostage. i ca n’t say that they were just holding the basement. like here. this is to show ground, probably, yes, and we were told to run from there, run from there. right here, this is the safest place, in front of us is the clothes house, and we have one access nine-story building and there the sniper worked in that house as a civilian, yes. yes,

going there in a woman is very bad. she lies, go for someone. here there is a little further, who can go or man, go replace even to help each other it was not always possible to rely on the legs of those who were in order physically were in a state of complete detachment. we immediately reported the situation in the hospital to the authorities of the republic when my friends and i brought medicines from moscow to this hospital a month later. there was already a chief physician, medical staff and an operlok in

the hospital. we found a woman who seemed to have seen a teenager with grandparents, matching the description of ours. by that time, i already wanted to say friends. although we never met. will we meet at all, will we find them? the woman said that perhaps they left for one of the centers equipped by the ministry of emergency situations of the dpr for refugees, the village of volodarskoye in mangush or nameless? i prayed mohammed prayed to all our friends and clients i know, with whom i work, all those who did not ask me what you need. i just asked everyone. just pray, i do n't need anything else.

we decided to start from volodarsky , where most of the people were evacuated. the fact that they could be in the center of the ministry of emergency situations is already good, but it's not

meant they were out of danger of the front line. it was very close, volodarskaya could both fire and attack. anything else could happen on the same day, our friend russell bentley volunteers from texas responded to a request to bring a woman to donetsk in her dreams, she was hidden in a monastery in nikolsky and this is not far from volodarsky , where we hoped to find adam, it was believed that this territory was already under the control of the army of the dpr and fear. there is nothing for a woman. i just needed to urgently go to the hospital, but there was no one to take me out, but it turned out that russell is on this mission. might as well not come back.

they found, yes, where they were taken, there should have been one more somewhere nowhere. that is, from this list we need them. well, i don't know, in the sense of where you bring them from here. they could go anywhere from here. to live like a woman, the names are familiar to me, they lived here like that, now the woman was here such women. uh-huh mom

dad, seriously, of course, they tell you, seriously. yes , we were looking for you in the hospital, we were looking for where they sent me and we were looking for you. here we have arrived. here it goes up the stairs. thank you. thanks, what are we? and they are looking for a video from you, dad, look. alexander here is his photo, my son understood me.

adom, but that's all we have found you and soon you will come here to stay or to your father and mother. yes , of course, no, of course, it's a pity to leave everyone, so abrupt, but i'm very happy and happy in english, please, what it was not very fun, but this is a great life experience that i will pass on to my children. if i have them, when when you have children, yes, when they will absolutely i can say, you speak russian almost perfectly without an accent. thanks a lot. i practiced a lot first. we should give thanks. these guys are soldiers from the sparta battalion from the donetsk people's republic who were ready to risk their lives to find you,

so you can tell them, thank you very much. thank you so much. that's what we're here for. thank you so much. you know, on the day when alexander went, faddin called me for adam and said that he had found him. i screamed for joy. so go and hear the throat of the village. i thanked god for it was fade who called, then he told me this was news. i screamed. from joy from happiness, which overwhelmed me that it finally came true. in fact, it feels like i gave birth again, such ecstasy, such such joy and happiness that he is alive and his parents are alive sent me a

voice message from alexandrov in which he said that adam was already with him, that everything was fine with him order that he was taken out, and then fade forwarded a message from adam who spoke. dad is with me. everything is fine. i'm safe said we are see you and talk it was you have no idea. what it was like to put everyone in the car. we couldn't decide to take adam out first and then come back for grandma and grandpa. adam will probably never forget his first lunch in donetsk. moreover, in the grove, one of the best restaurants in the city, which is run by andrey lomka, one of the wonderful people of donbass, lunch. adam and all of us are treated to an equally wonderful person. our friend nadezhda onishchenko, we asked her to book a room for adam in her name, as arrival in donetsk did not yet mean for him absolute

security of the sbu. having learned about this story , adam could grow up and transfer him to ukraine. there they could try to inflate the story of his alleged rescue from russian captivity. and if it didn’t work out, at best, would they return it to their father only for a ransom and it is not known in what condition? we had to transfer adam to his father safe and sound in donetsk to transfer adamas across the border between the dpr and the russian federation, we could not do this, unless there are special papers according to the law prerogatives. only parents or one of them. after lunch, nadezhda takes the adams to the hotel, and after changing the car, we return to volodarskoye for adam's grandparents. meanwhile, adam's father mohammed, having received the good news, applies for an

urgent visa to russia and books a ticket for a flight to moscow. i just landed in turkey here i am waiting for a transplant, and then, god forbid, at one in the morning i will fly to moscow in russia in mother russia everything is covered in snow. we 'll take a break and have some coffee. and then we continue on our way. mohammed's acquaintance with russia began with our friend slava, the owners of an independent taxi service in the moscow region, all flights to rostov-on-don were canceled with the start of the special operation, and slava has

been actively working with us for many years. he knows the route well, he drove film equipment and staff for us more than once, and we asked him to personally bring our guest of donbass to the meeting point with alexander , a wonderful person who helped me save the lives of adam and his grandparents. he is already on his way here, and then we will all go to donetsk together and meet back. here he is our hero. open open today is

the most beautiful day of the holiday. ramadan i prayed and asked god to have adam by my side on the first day of ramadan and here he is. when is the time? leave donetsk back to russia to then fly to lebanon

, another person from alexander's team drove us by car, her name is nadya, she took care of adam like a mother, when he was brought from mariupol, alexander asked to take care of him. it's okay, what can i do, you need to speak a little russian to ukraine to ukraine, you want to strive for correctness absolutely in russian .

what touched me the most, actually, when adam didn't say that nadezhda washed things for adam for me was. well, another woman takes care of my son just like i do, it was so valuable and so important to me that i really want to meet. i hope to get to know her and thank her for that too. or are you petrov the golden calf necessarily a classic? this is anton pavlovich chekhov 12 chairs, of course, dostoevsky crime and punishment. and dostoevsky classics

russian classics, in short, i will definitely read it all. look, i'll be very happy. so, here, nadia drove us in her car across the border from donetsk to rostov-on-don, so that we sat on the belt, but customs looked at people crossing the border, standing in line, pushing their bags. i'm tired of looking at them so hard. i went through this myself. i am lebanese. i went through the war and saw her and now it's sad to look at all this, honestly. fortunately , it was as easy as possible for adam and his father to leave donbass for russia before. president putin signed a decree that from march 5,

in order to protect the rights of human freedoms, foreign citizens and stateless persons can enter russia from the dpr without a visa, even with an expired passport and stay in russia for up to 15 days, by the way, they could from donetsk through russia to safely leave and to the eu, and there was such an opportunity all these eight years of the war in the donbass, such trips are quietly advertised in the dpr in the same way as a trip to russia, unlike their opponents, and the dpr and russia respect the freedom of other citizens, if a person's relatives in kiev, vinnitsa or zaporozhye, he has the right to go to them; no one keeps people in a cage from this side of the iron curtain. no, no one asked adam's grandparents whether they decide to stay in donetsk or whether they want to go through poland to ukraine, where they have relatives, this is their business. pride happy evening. thanks for giving us a lift to the airport, we're flying home.

our journalistic cases call us back to mariupol, now one more case will be added to them. we decided to periodically visit the house, where and with the residents, whom we became friends with, and our friends in donetsk in moscow donate to hospital number two to help the residents of mariupol with food, medicines and even bring them themselves. soon experts will come to the city, from all over russia to build and help mariupol as a coven in its time, 300 leningrad will be born again.
