well, you know, i didn't attach much importance to it, yes, it's like that's the fate of men, to defend their homeland, to defend their family there, then he says to me: "mom, well, how do you imagine, if i stayed at home, my grandfather fought, he was in the battle of stalingrad, he was a tanker, the second child, he left at 16, they took him into the army, they thought the war would start with japan. in the far east, the marines,

so he says, i'm their grandson, and i'll sit at home, but i'll be ashamed to come and bow to their prayers, well, why did you cry, cry, kissed, crossed himself, well, he went to war. 10 years of unrest, 10 days of years of waiting, every day you pray to god to save. at that time , people of different professions went to the militia. almost no one had military experience, in civilian life i had many different specialties, professions, for example, i worked in a mine, as a private entrepreneur, a logistics manager, that is, my working career is very diverse, i graduated from the gorlovka institute of foreign languages, the french language department, so you are french, yes that's why yes we are a frenchman, the event of the second.

but this did not frighten us in any way, we fought with tanks and with armored vehicles, of course we had hunting weapons, and whoever had what, he came with that, whoever had nothing, already used trophies, we drew knowledge from textbooks about the great patriotic war, also with us were guys who went through the war in afghanistan, also ... very experienced,

literate in military terms, and also improvised, came up with something new, something of our own. we came up with a mine here trap, now we will pass a narrow place, here in case of the passage of ukrainian military columns, it is here that they will be blocked and not allowed to advance further in the direction of the city of krasnodom. there is no room for maneuver here, there are ravines here.

a group of infantry in a kamaz truck got to this tank, they did not expect to meet us here, in this place, they entered the battle, emerged victorious from this battle, captured 14 people, here of our losses we had two people wounded, one seriously wounded, one lightly, no one chickened out, no one retreated, but we expected that there would be...

another onslaught, so we went down, reloaded and moved out again to our positions, we were on duty here the whole night, but... i still didn't dare to take any action. 10 years is already quite a long time, as you can see, the fields are planted in the sun, in the village people live calmly, peacefully, so we are still in the ranks, with weapons in our hands, defending our rights, our freedom, a day after the end of this battle...

but they got the exact opposite effect, we began to be supported even more, more and more new fighters came to the militia. the monument is called cranes, dedicated to the fallen militiamen in 2014 in the settlement of pervozanovka, lutulinsky district, the guys from this settlement also joined the ranks of the militia, defended their homeland. at the cost of their own lives, this monument was created and installed by the forces, residents of this settlement, i have a daughter of 28 years old, and i have a son who is 8 years old

, he will go to the second grade, whenever possible i regularly call, communicate with my son, he also considers himself a military man, since he has his own father.

all of the same faith, the same blood and we fight for our homeland, a serviceman with the call sign guarantor joined the defense of the homeland in the sixteenth year, since 2014 he remained on his, no less important front. at that time, i continued to study, and i taught children in already at that time i taught folk dances, in a group, therefore. i was engaged in culture, instilled discipline in children, taught children, guarantor from lugansk, in the summer of the fourteenth the city was under constant enemy fire, young the man, nevertheless, decided not to leave. since october we began

to resume our training, and it was not our decision, spontaneous, the school was equipped with bomb shelters, respectively, the halls were. closed, there was no glass, at that time they had already started to give light in schools, the students, well, they did not know until the last that i went to the army, i just did not say that i was going to the army, i just said that i was changing jobs, that's all, the children still loved me, with tears in their eyes they said goodbye, and only then, over time, they found out that i was in the army, people, parents, even...

made his conscious choice. garant recalls, from the first day he was surprised by the policy of the ukrainian authorities, he understood that the people of his native donbass needed to be protected from them. to settle the conflict. by armed means against his own people, this is very stupid, no people will want to return to ukraine when weapons are used, and some heavy equipment, artillery, everything else against civilians, and this certainly influenced my choice, because, because it is necessary to defend our... well, at that time, well, it is a well-known fact, we were not part of russia, we had a separate republic

of the donetsk republic, but still, who, if not us, as they like to say, but these are not empty words, in the sixteenth year, a young man decided that he would defend the interests of his republic until victory, with this decision he met the beginning of the svo, first a special military operation, well, such a major direction, it was considered, the most difficult at that time, it was... and the assault on rubezhnoye, so we took such a village a well-known city like rubizhne, accordingly we worked as artillery, since we are artillery, we helped our infantry, in all the cities that we liberated, we helped civilians, here is the story of prolisichansk, i remember it very well, it turns out that there was a bomb shelter next to where we held the defense, there... there was a 13-year-old girl, katya, she always

walked with her grandmother, she was not afraid, for some reason , like a child, but she was not afraid of shelling, although it was dangerous there, well, there were no civilians, there were a lot of children, there to get to their house, we always accompanied them forward, well, we didn’t know that they would come, we always accompanied them back , we gave them some... well, the gifts come on the same day, now i don’t remember exactly what date it was, but grandma comes to us and says: can i please ask you for some buckwheat, it’s just that katya ’s birthday today, and the child really loves buckwheat, well , you know, it’s not like she needs candy , girls, not a cake, but just buckwheat, of course. we shared, then i had some, but i don’t remember, a long time ago, well, how long ago, a month

there was a chocolate bar somewhere, as if she was waiting for this moment, and it so happened that well , the gift from me was a chocolate bar, and also this girl, the city residents at that time already had something to compare with, the attitude of the russian military was very different from the behavior of the defenders from the armed forces of ukraine, there was a family that came.

the military personnel who are supposed to protect these people, they do not protect them, but simply despise them and treat them as second or third class, once, twice, twice, and then we switch to the left leg, the guarantor in the civil there were many competitions of victories in life, but he considers the main awards to be those received for the defense of his people, my first award was for military merit. but this was still under the luhansk people's republic, that is , this is the luhansk medal, the second award was, this

is already the russian medal for military cooperation, the third award was a participant in military operations, and the fourth, here is a more significant award, which is state, was the suvorov medal, here it was received relatively recently, and for the elimination of the target and ... one of the first major operations in the territory of donbass there was debaltseve-chernukhinskaya. it was mainly men without experience who participated in it. local residents, against trained soldiers of the ukrainian army. despite the unequal forces, the men of donbass won. haven't you been here for a long time? more than two years. here i look at this field,

at the forest plantation. we are in the area of ​​uglegorsk, earlier here was just arable land, division of arable land, here, but with the advent of military actions in the fourteenth year , this territory was a firing position, with our battery, were dug out. at that moment it was nonsense, the pits were dug, over time you see, the land has settled, before that more than 2 m kapanir, covered with logs, covered with earth from above, the earth was sown with grass, they bought, transplanted seedlings, here

the action took place, just with a lot of events connected, precisely with such places. i hope, grandchildren will be brought, definitely, so that they know the truth, here i ask you to pay attention, we, unlike our opponent, you see for yourself, here is

a populated area, around the field. they will not stand me, here here is a bourgeois house we were standing, there was a pipe left, how many of you were here in this small room, eight people, guys, i remember, who are no longer with us, who were here before, these mountains that they dug up,

brown earth, contrast, went to the market, took a bag, she worked at the trading house store, at the end of the working shift, flew right over amstor, a mlrs shell, grad, five shrapnel wounds, well, we nursed my wife, thank god everything worked out,

how lucky we were, nursed my wife. krynica mesna. saved most of the population, both civilians and us, the half-dozens, had no water, ukrop blocked off,

cut off the power, pay attention to our local donbass mentality, here comes a man, god forbid it's bad, well, well, the water drips poorly, yeah, well... a man needs water right now urgently, please, people got it, it's worth it, another position from those times, ingenuity again, dugouts were then set up right in the rock. on august 2, 2015, the enemy was shooting at us, well, we always felt like we were in the bosom of a poor man, a responsible rock, he either hit the rock, here or in... this reservoir, that's why those fragments went there, the reservoir, we then collected the fish, well, of course it's a pity about the fish, but i ate my fill of silver carp, in general

i don't eat silver carp anymore, well, nothing foreshadowed trouble, there was a willow, a shell was flying, uh, a fragmentation fuse, for it it is enough to touch the branch. hit the branch, we have 2,200, now we are on the former front of the front, these are the trenches - this is the closest place to our positions. that is , during the assault, during the assault on the day before the assault for 3 days the consumption of shells was 300 pieces minimum per day, the gun is worn out,

you could light a cigarette from the barrel, that is , the enemy is directly behind this slope, behind the landing, there is the enemy, here, standing at full height, well, this is death-like. yes, they approached in single file , squatting, standing, standing here, well, that's it, here is not a sniper, an ordinary machine gunner, such a negti, well, i would have shot, here everything is like setting up, now you and i are already standing looking at the lake, calmly, to be honest, how much time has passed, and ... i don't know, more quickly in the voice, so many guys died here when they left

here on duty, you're only with a person... almost ate from the same bowl, here, and then not a single careful movement, bam, gone. we have a huge difference with them, spirit, they are here for money, and we are for the idea, under ukraine

for a very long time a lot was not done, what should have been done, and here the result is right on the face, it's nice in terms of not only defending your interests. in terms of that it was all not in vain, that we are on the right path, changes are already visible today, eh, roads are being built, restored schools, new kindergartens, parks, squares appear, everything is being brought to normal, clean, in order, it is already visible now, there is no need to even guess, it will be better further, it will be more beautiful, our children will have a happy childhood. will be confident in tomorrow.
