of course, he really missed the fact that his homeland always comes first; it’s really hard to be a military man’s wife, it’s constant stress, nerves, it’s hard not to wait, it’s hard to understand that a person is in difficult conditions, you need moral support, you need to hold on morally, and, accordingly, your family. also support when we met, of course, there were tears, laughter, and joy, that was all, she returned well, the main thing is that it turned out to be alive, that healthy, in the zone of a special military operation, alexander has been serving 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 he could not stay away. with

work, wife, i decided to go. he recalls that that evening there were conversations and tears at home, but no emotions could convince him, a special forces soldier and the owner of a maroon beret. having such a headdress, who would i have remained if i had been sitting at home, had already died. yes, i had to agree, the preparations were brief for the military, i packed my things, told the news to my friends, only those closest to me saw me off to the front, we got to the airport , said goodbye, stood around, talked, everyone told me to come back, it seemed like i had given my word, so i managed to keep it , fascists, i have grandfather died in belarus.

and we went there, to the obelisk, the other grandfather on my side also fought, my grandmother was and was under occupation in belarus, well, she saw the germans and she got it from the germans later, that is , there were, there were vivid examples, and so did we they told the children, but she herself saw alexander in another profession, which he eventually got after school, became a cook, because, well, as they say, from generation to generation, my mother told me, first get a profession, then everything else, and so i also told my son alexander, here for me the main thing is that you have some kind of profession, and yes, he trained as a cook , now a special forces soldier admits that, due to his youthful professionalism, for a long time, out of ignorance, he called with a mistake in the word, i was probably 12 years old then,

or 11, i’ve been lying in bed in the morning, i look, well, dad asks what it is, he says, it ’s a maroon beret, but i haven’t heard yet, crab, crab, so i say, i want it too, here’s my dad, then he said , that it won’t work out, it’s very difficult there, the performances of the kaliningrad military-patriotic club, exactly at that moment, he spoke and decided what he wanted to become in life, decided on his future, i liked it so much, my eyes lit up, so after the performance i went up to the coach, asked to come work out, in principle, that’s where my entire life began career, alexander came to our club already, at an age somewhere in kalining from the late nineties, here they teach teenagers wrestling techniques, orienteering, and the deputy of first aid, alexander once came here. with elementalized

business, that is, we were taught there to disassemble machine guns and hand-to-hand combat techniques, that is, everything went from there, with his long-term dream, receiving a maroon beret for the offense of which he passed the most difficult qualifying exams, the exam lasts a day, that is, in the morning we woke up, lined up, put on body armor helmets, took a machine gun, hung a gas mask on themselves and ran, after 12 km without rest, a special assault semi-prepared, that is, from the fifth floor you need to storm the building using ropes, all this went well, only in at this point, the body armor and helmet are removed and they go to the elements of hand-to-hand combat, in a complex of special exercises and gymnastics.

i managed to pass the tests flawlessly, they lasted a whole day, not on the first, but on the eighth attempt, since then this sign has been personal and about being the first everywhere in battle and in exercises, among the first it is now in the north military district zone, among the military, and so on. it is not customary for more intelligence officers to discuss the details of military operations, so he tells even his loved ones about his service in the donbass only in general terms. i ask him, he’s dad, that’s it normal, he treats us kindly. whatever we can, we help, 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, for a few days from the front line of donbass. for the girl it was a surprise and a gift, she could not hold back her tears, these touching shots. thank you very much for helping me arrange this surprise, i prepared for this for a very long time, well , the surprise was a success, i think, thank you very much, thank you very much, guys, which are located in donbass, which. carry out 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,
