we were all very worried, we waited, and when we met, it turned out that he was healthy. alexander served in the special military operation zone for a total of more than a year; he says he went to the front line solely on his own initiative. this can be attributed to the fact that i voluntarily, knowing that the situation in the country is now difficult , went to serve, i understand where i will end up, from work, my wife, i decided to go, i remember that that evening at home there were conversations, tears, but no emotions could not convince him, a special forces soldier and owner of a maroon beret, having such a headdress, who would i have remained if i had been sitting at home, now, probably, somehow it was not according to my status.

she told us from the doorway: parents, i’m going to serve, and nothing will stop me, because i have a lot of friends who have already died, yes, i had to agree, the preparations were short for the military , i packed my things, told the news to my friends, they only escorted me to the front the closest ones, we got to... everyone told me to come back, it seems like i gave my word, so i managed to keep it. in their family, except for sasha, there are no active military personnel, but like in many russian families, there are those who defended the country during the great patriotic war, on the paternal and maternal lines, who fought with the nazis. my grandfather died in belarus and we went there, kabeliska, and the other grandfather on my side also fought.

i had a grandmother in belarus during the occupation, well, she saw the germans and got it from the germans later, that is , there were vivid examples, well, we told the children, they still saw and read it all. tatyana petrovna recalls that in early childhood her son wanted to become kola policeman, he became a cook, because well, as they say, from generation to generation... my mother said: first get a profession, then everything else, so i also told my son alexander , the main thing for me is that you have what is a profession, and he, yes, he trained as a cook, now a special forces soldier admits that in his youth he did not plan to wear shoulder straps, and the maroon beret is a symbol of the highest or 11th, i’m lying in bed in the morning, i look, well, dad asks what this is it, he says this... i want it too, that’s it

it’s very hard, but it hurt me so much, and how my dad told me then that it won’t work out, it won’t work out there, it will work out, after 4 years of the kaliningrad military-patriotic club, at exactly that moment, he said and decided what he wants to become in life , decided on his future. i liked it so much, my eyes lit up, so after the performance i approached the coach, asked to come work out , in principle, my entire career began from there, alexander came to our club at the age of about 16, now he is preparing for the service to the army, alexander tsarenko, a veteran of special forces, has been running a club for many years as a young special forces soldier, which operates in kaliningrad. since the late nineties,

teenagers have been taught wrestling techniques, orienteering, and first aid, where alexander once came. the club is a young special soldier, it is of a patriotic orientation with elements and techniques of hand-to-hand combat, drill training, tactics 10, that is, everything went from there, then military service in the army and after professional contracts, worked... in different regions of russia, he has been to hot spots more than once, a separate story is connected with his long-term dream , receiving a maroon beret, for the offense of which one must pass the most difficult qualifying exams , put on a gas mask, ran, after 12 km without rest, to a special assault strip, here against the backdrop of general fatigue, we pass the assault line, right there... we run while shooting,

we shoot, we shoot perfectly, we run, but for high-altitude training, from the fifth floor we need to storm the building using ropes, that’s it this. hand-to-hand combat complex of special exercises, gymnastics. to pass the tests flawlessly, they collectively last the whole day, it was not possible on the first, but on the eighth attempt, since then this sign of personal and professional pride is always with him, he does not give any concessions, the biggest indulgence is probably this that i have it, i can wear it, the right to be in training. among the first, he is now in his zone ; it is not customary for the military, and especially intelligence officers, to discuss the details of military operations, therefore, about his service in the donbass, even he tells his loved ones only in general terms, i ask him, yes dad , everything is fine, that you, well, yes, sit, don’t

worry, everything is fine, i say, san, well, at least we’re advancing, yes, of course, we’re advancing, where we’ll get away, i’m stupid, in fact, yes, we provide assistance, there’s a place there. the population that treats us kindly, we help in any way we can, well, well, the main goal , let’s say ours, is to restore order in the liberated territories, that’s what the command sets, naturally, i can’t name any goals there. dad, our student, over the past year, he only managed to visit home a couple of times, to see his relatives, one of these events was his daughter’s graduation, for the sake of which alexander was released for several days from the front line of donbass. for the girl it was

a surprise and a gift. thank you very much for helping me arrange this surprise, i have been preparing for this, well, surprise for a very long time. thank you very much, thank you very much too, in kaliningrad in the military-patriotic club, from which alexander began his journey into the profession, they know that he, like many other graduates of the young special forces, now on the front line, and how can it be, bass, who perform service and combat missions in the conditions and circumstances that are inherent there, these are... heroes, heroes, modern heroes, my son’s name is vladislav
