first position, this road was constantly controlled by the enemy, a lot of civilians died on this highway, they shot at civilian cars, then did not let them - evacuation groups to get the wounded. horrible crimes against humanity were committed in these places during the great patriotic war. it was here in 1943 that members of the organization young. guard were thrown into the mines. this is a sacred place for every krasnodon resident, this is a memorial to the unconquered, this is the place of execution, that is, members the young guard are essentially children, essentially they are heroes, children who were 16-17 years old. but fascism knows no compassion, no pity, and in such a wild way...

children were executed, then the donbass was recaptured by the grandfathers of today's servicemen, after the shelling of peaceful cities in the fourteenth , the grandchildren and great-grandchildren of the heroes of the great patriotic war stood up in friendship. oh, he left on june 22, 2000. '14, he came with his friend, they worked together at the mine, and you know what he told me, he told me, mom, who, if not us, it seemed to me, i had heard this phrase before, well , somehow, you know, i didn’t attach much importance to it, yes, like such is the fate of men, to defend their homeland, there, to defend their family, then he tells me: mom, well, how do you

imagine, here i stayed at home, my grandfather fought, was in the battle of stalingrad, he was a tanker, my second grandfather, 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 not their grandson, and i’ll sit at home, but i’ll be ashamed to come and bow to them not... i begged, well, i cried, cried, kissed, crossed himself, well, he went to war, 10 years of worries, 10 days of years of waiting, every day you pray to god to save, then people of different professions went to the militia, almost no one had military experience, in civilian life i had many different specialties, professions, here i worked in a mine. private entrepreneur,

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 is why, yes, my french friend, the events of may 2 in odessa, when they burned people in the trade union building, naturally raised the people here in donbass, we understood that the day would come when... war and these nazis would get to donbass, well, so it happened later, well, in the fourteenth year, of course, the ukrainian army was a little different, it did not have everything that it has now, but at that time they had tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, armored personnel carriers, we did not have all this yet, but this did not frighten us in any way, we fought with tanks and with armored vehicles, there were, of course, hunting weapons, yes, whoever had what, then... everyone

came, those who had nothing, already used the 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 their own, we came up with here... a trap, now we will pass through a narrow place, so in the event 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 krasnodom, there is no room for maneuver here, there are ravines and hills, so we were ready to meet the enemy here and give the toughest rebuff, we met them, though in another place we fell into battle without

any experience, with only one understanding, with our homes and families behind us. 10 years ago, it was in this place that our militia battalion took the first fight, it was at this fork in the road in the direction of the lugansk airport that the enemy was developing an offensive, of course we knew that he would come out on this section of the road, and we were ready to meet him, we left with two platoons, took up a circular defense here, a tank drove out, we waited for it, we couldn’t knock it out, but we waited, it drove away. literally half a kilometer away it caught fire and detonated, after this tank a group of infantry moved in a kamaz vehicle, they did not expect to meet us here, in this very place, they entered the battle, emerged victorious from this

battle, captured 14 people, here from our losses we had two people wounded, one seriously, no one chickened out, no one retreated, but we expected that there would be another roll, so we went down, reloaded and moved out back to our positions, we were on duty here all night, but the enemy did not dare to take any action, 10 years, that 's quite a long time, as you can see, the fields are planted. under the sun in the village people live calmly, peacefully, that's why we are still in the ranks, with weapons in our hands, defending our rights, our freedom, a day after

the end of this battle, the enemy began mortar shelling this settlement, but that was already, let's say, despair. that's why the village here suffered very seriously in the fourteenth year, just to intimidate civilians, i don't know, they probably hoped that ordinary people would rise up against us militias, they would say, get out, we don't need a war, but they got the exact opposite effect, they started supporting us even more, more and more new fighters were joining the militia. the monument is called cranes, dedicated to the fallen militiamen in 2014 in the settlement of pervozanovka in the lutuinsky 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 installed by the residents of this settlement. i have a daughter of 28 years old and a son who is 8 years old, he will go to the second grade, i call and communicate with my son whenever possible, he also considers himself a military man, since his father is a military man, it means he is a military man, of course, he is also a defender, of course, and what does he say, he says that they should win quickly?

where there is a military brotherhood, they, to be honest , are worthy fighters of any unit, so i will not say that the younger a person is, the weaker his spirit is, no, there is no such thing, we are all of the same faith, of the same blood, fighting for our homeland.

the decision was spontaneous, the school was equipped with bomb shelters, accordingly, 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 had gone into the army, i just did not say that i was going into the army, i just said that i was changing jobs, that 's all, the children still loved me, they said goodbye with tears in their eyes, and then... then over time they found out that i was in the army, and people, parents, even

children, wrote on vkontakte, called, just asked how you are doing, regularly, even to this day, they write, i answer when possible, parents, on the contrary, only support and help with this, parents treated this issue adequately absolutely, because i believe that... when, accordingly, weapons begin to be used, and some heavy equipment,

artillery and everything else against civilians, and this certainly influenced my choice, because, because you need to defend your country, at that time, well, everyone knows the fact is, we were not part of russia, we had a separate republic, donetsk, the donetsk republic, but still who, if not... since we are artillery, we helped our infantry, in all the cities that we liberated, we helped civilians, here

is the story of lisichansk that i remember very well, it turns out that there, next to where we held the defense, there was a bomb shelter, civilians lived there, a lot of children, there was a girl there - 13 years old, 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, you could, well, not reach your home, and we always accompanied them forward, well, we didn’t know that they would come, we always accompanied them back, we gave them some kind of gifts, so they come one 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 cake, but just some bitterness, of course, we shared, then i had one, but i don't remember, a long time ago, well, how long ago, a chocolate bar was lying around for about a month, as if it had been waiting for this moment. and it so happened that the gift from me was a chocolate bar, and also from 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 swindlers from the ukrainian armed forces. there was a family that came to check their apartment, whether it was intact or not, to take certain warm clothes, they constantly asked us if we could go through, of course we did not forbid it.

well, get out of here, and we'll just shoot you, you have no right to be here, what do you think, the people who are there? and will they want to go back there later, if even their own people, the military personnel who are supposed to protect these people, they don't protect them, but simply despise them and treat them as second or third class, one, two, two, tops, and then we move on,

yes, on the left leg, the guarantor had many competitions of victories in civilian life, but his main awards were...

more than 2 m kapanir, covered with logs, the top was covered with earth, the earth was sown with grass, they bought, transplanted seedlings, here the action took place, the hatch opened, the gun barrel rose, worked, the barrel lowered, the hatch closed, according to all... we had to shoot with the artillery textbook, roll over, here the enemy was led , the enemy was led astray, i am saying this now and the trembling inside is generally a nervous tizzy , i am trying to hold back my voice, there are simply a lot of events connected with places like these

, i hope. i will definitely bring my grandchildren, so that they know the truth, i will ask you to pay attention attention, unlike our enemy, you see for yourself, there is no settlement here, there are fields around, and they are hiding behind civilian houses, behind civilians, that 's our main difference, we do not hide behind civilians, in this regard we fight honestly. for a long time, these positions were actually home to prokhor and his comrades. now , however, this area is already deep in the rear. and these ceilings, i honestly didn't even imagine that they would last such a long time. here, here, is our bourgeois stood, there was a pipe left. how many of you

were here in this small room? eight people, guys, i remember, who. not with us, who were here before, these mountains that they dug up, brown earth, contrast, went to the market, took a bag of seeds, mustard, exactly a bag, all this we sowed with mustard, because this was a mustard field, all these tricks in those days the guys came up with themselves. well, at that time, at that time already seven years, as a civilian, my wife worked on amstor trading house, at the end of the shift a worker,

flew right over amstor, a mlrs shell, grad, five shrapnel wounds, well , we nursed my wife back to health, thank god. we got by, what luck we had, we nursed my wife and child back to health, sent them to the russian federation with my wife, he turned around, took a machine gun, and simply went to take revenge, i'm from donetsk, i'm on my land, what the... forgot about galicia here, i didn't invite him to visit, this is my land, the local krynytsia

saved most of the population , both civilians and us, the hitmen , there was no harm. ukrop blocked off, cut off the power, that's also it pay attention to our local donbass mentality, here comes a man, god forbid, bad, yes, well, well, the water drips poorly, yeah, well, and the man needs water right now urgently, please, people have collected it, it's standing, another position from those times, ingenuity again, dugouts were then equipped right in the rock. on august 2, 2015, the enemy was shooting at us, well, we always felt like a miserable

place here, a steep cliff, he either hit the rock, or this reservoir, so those fragments went there, we then fished the reservoir collected, of course it's a pity about the fish, but i ate my fill of bigheads. in general , i don't eat bigheads anymore, well, nothing foreshadowed trouble, there was a willow, a shell was flying, a fragmentation fuse, for it it is enough to touch a branch, it hit a 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 right behind this slope, behind the landing, there is the enemy, and here you have to stand at full height, well, it's death-like, they came here squatting in single file, yeah, standing here, standing here, well, that's it, it's not like...

how many guys died when they went here on duty, you just ate from almost the same bowl with a person, 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 here for an idea, under ukraine for a very long time, a lot was not done, that it had to be done, and here the result is obvious. it is pleasant - in terms of - not only defending your interests, in terms of the fact that it was all not in vain, that we are on the right path, changes are already visible today, roads are being built, schools are being restored, new kindergartens are appearing, parks, squares, everything is being brought to normal,

clean, in order, this is already happening now. it is clear that there is no need to even guess, it will be better in the future, it will be more beautiful, our children will have a happy childhood, it will be confident from tomorrow.

mom, why do we need these letters for a fairy tale? in the three ninth kingdom, the thirtieth state.

let's translate from official language into understandable language, everything is not so scary.
