That is, i had a very colorful life. You probably know what the story is about. Its clear why everything is happening in the 13th year. Yes, for me at all. Well, dima, nothing. What happened, well, in general, as a child, i was attentive and from the 90th year, the 91st year, ukraine became independent. I see very clearly that Russian Television says something bad or nothing about ukraine, and studying history well, it just all came together, the same island of tuzla then do you remember, it was already going on then, before that, the reaction was just being punched in us on on on. Thats all. It went on , and then i got into patriotic youth organizations. Patriotic only when the organizations plast alliance mmk trident, well, even well, there are a lot of such organizations there falcon, there is a crane that is, it was all the same and there were no random people, the leaders of the maidans, damn hundreds, it was not random, there were also no random people at the beginning of the voluntary movement, yes to all it seemed that these people had already lived and breathed in ukraine for dozens of years, it was a beautiful romantic time, we knew that we were still fighting for a european country and, in principle, i am not ashamed of any of them on the maidan, on february 20 i became a centurion on the 35th of the volyn sich hundred, the hundred inscribed itself into history with a heroic deed, and after february 20, after the shooting of the maidan , everything became clear , the annexation of crimea began, and for me as a historian, as a person who understood what was happening, everything became places and the enemy was obvious, they could only be stopped by weapons, we then began to demand from the leadership there a new leadership of the maidan and ukraine, what should the volunteer battalion do and we will go to defend crimea, well, but the size, the statist approach, it is not like that, they took us to the Training Center the residents of petrovac, and at the base of the internal troops, recreated the National Guard, restored the National Guard, because the Previous National guard, which was a wither , was canceled by kuchma. It was very little , very popular among the people, it was proukrainian, it stood very clearly , it was prestigious to serve in we understood then that sooner or later they would be for the people and not for his regime, and he destroyed it little by little , making both obedient and internal troops. But after the maidan the revolution of dignity just when there was a turk, when the crimean lecture had already started, he gathered who can defend ukraine with weapons , thats exactly who turned out to be 5,000 bayonets for the whole of ukraine and it was mainly the internal troops who broke the shutter and said that we are ready and that was it firstly, they were not disintegrated like the zsu. And secondly, well, they felt , i dont know whether it was guilt or the voice of blood or simply their eyes were opened, probably on the basis of internal waxes and on the basis of our volunteer battalion of hundreds of hundreds of selfdefense the maidan was created by our first reserve and second reserve battalions, they recreated the National Guard, and so we became the first volunteer battalion of the restored National Guard, that prestigious and restored National Guard, you served under the leadership of kulchytskyi, can you tell me what it was like . What kind of officer is that . Well, more about kulchytskyi he says well, we are already here during the confrontation on the maidan, we already knew then that there are generals who are looking for a compromise, he was not afraid to go directly to us in the top and with us, well , that is to conduct a dialogue. We knew that his grandfather was there he was like a centurion, the patient commanded respect and he could come directly to talk to us that i, too, am for ukraine, its just not possible. Im a state scandinavian. And you want to break it roughly, but we say that we too have no choice because you dont give us one. Well then i mean, we already knew about the existence of the confrontation between the maidanists and the internal troops, it was quite serious, there was blood between us, but i am a nationalist and for me ukraine is above all else , that is, ambition is everything, well, the understanding of the state is the most important thing, and the people, when we came, saw well, the internal troops are sent to the petrivtsi base there, the internal troops write on their backs, well, the police. Well, we are so shocked in such a field, we are so. Well, we dont really need to give weapons, we are going to the crimea and all of us, well , we were so shocked. Came out and lets say, well, guys, well, im just as ready to fight with weapons in my hands for ukraine and im ready to go with my mother. Well, im a general, im a professional. I have a level. I dont think its stately in the native way, well, it wont be like that. You have to learn that this one will step over everything. Because ukraine is above all, i am from him. Why, well , a moment in the movie, in principle. Well, there were things that boiled over there, who turned around and left. But ukraine above all, in whose soul was she the majority remained and we believed him, he said, i will personally study with you and personally go with you, which was in principle fulfilled by him. He very quickly gained the authority of this misunderstanding between the maidan residents and his riders, he was there even if there was a fight between the two of them there and that is, they will pull everything and you know, when the slavic blockade began, he was like a combat general, he went around the checkpoints, and from the checkpoint to the checkpoint, you had to shoot through the road , it would have been on helicopters. Well, fly there. That is, it was brave, and we saw such care at the time, you know. A when he, well, when he died, we are so orphaned, remember us together for tea tea for a dream dreams for freedom went on the run and you went happily so you too went so as not to return the red bayonet bloody road stands and graves in the cities when the fullscale invasion began where were you hit hit it made my heart bleed when there was the siege of kyiv well, but ukraine is a big ukraine , we had to sit under the raisins under popasna and hold the defense there, one volunteer came up to me. Transported and some volunteers from kyiv accepted him. He says what do you guys want to do here , the lyshkiv battalion , why not . Impregnable fortress of the occupiers in the Kharkiv Region that they still cant knock them out of there and for nothing. So, you fought in the pijum, can you tell how hard it was there or vice versa. It was all an illusion, a myth, but the beginning of the war was, well, standard. I think so, well, because it was their complete advantage in aviation is one hundred percent, and in general they are still where they are successful. They take quantitatively , well, dozens of times the quantitative advantage, and until we are under a raisin, well, until the middle to the end of almost march, we only have aviation, well, 500 kg, 200 kg with bombs, just er, well, we have mastics on bombila, and it destroyed everything there, for example, i see a part of the village of yatskivka, a certain poorer part of the village of yaska, a plane flew in, dropping 3,500 kg of bombs and pieces of seven 200 kg, well , the interior of the chickens, we then caught them by the legs. Well flight er well, let us be, well, we were taken prisoner. He goes to a soldier there, he says, give me the icons, we searched her, give me the icon , we will stop you , you need the icons. You know its happening in your head, but you dont fly like that for a long time this is because it was not at the end of march, at the beginning, by april 10 , we already had a lot of czechoslovak corpses there, they beat weakly there for 1. 5 km. Height, because it was at a high altitude, and we lifted them all up with these pipes , we never hit them, but we drove them up, and the buks started and in the afternoon, 23 planes, 23 planes, well, they began to port and catch them, they ran here along the oskol reservoir, they caught them there every other day these pilots then well, thats what happened we still stayed on the same rock, i took the jump and we stayed in a bag in the cauldron there, my commander, the crows, just did a miracle that i got trapped there. We got out. Under the dome of the city, that is, the game was shooting. Can you imagine how this is a planner, so that 80 men turned out like that, well, the raven is a cool commander , well, match him later, er, assistant. That is, we clearly left and already reached the line of the sosnovy and yarova studs here for a month, well, they were repelling infantry attacks there, they were groping and pounding constantly well, the advantage is there seriously there is a disturbing job, this is, well, it is still from the first world war, probably left on june 1, they made a massive offensive, well, we are there at the parking lot of sosnov and yarova, it just fell under a shaft of fire, well, well, from five or six points at the same time from five in the morning to friday in the evening, continuous artillery fire, there is such and such a scarecrow here in every house, in every house, such and such is my shit, the second one is being decommunized and the third is decommunized, all decommunization was successful , and they have a place in history. Mountains and after leaving, they kept me here. I was thinking that by the way, if there was a fullscale attack, they would be transported somewhere. There were constant helicopters from there. We had enough people , they flew in there, landed the landing party, then we ran and chased them there, and there was constant cooperation for the monastery. The monasteries, as intelligence , worked against its definitely us , no matter who says anything, there would be accents of the ukrainian structure, they set people up against us , its terrible, i meet a family, and she cooks food , and they say, well, we have a car, we have a car there on the dnipro, somewhere there, the family can leave, im cool, leave. When they shoot us at the checkpoint and say that they are. At first, more than once , i thought it was a joke, and then you see that they are serious about it, and they are sitting here , somewhere there, in the catacombs, they are fed with that. Thats it. Im afraid that the National Guard will kill you. It wasnt just that if you leave here i already know that. I couldnt stand it anymore. Im pulling out the documents. They show that well, as i say. Children it will just pop out through serpentine, here is serpentine mink, we constantly slip through the pantin, and i will tell you that one block will not meet a block, as in bzs and pereslavyansk. And if you say me there , you will say the password. Well, i know that only there , dont even ask, because there will be people traveling with children. Do you understand this and they jumped out. This family on the second day of me. Well, mine was on the field of miracles on the second day. I have 87. That little commander is leaving. There is permission to leave so that they dont get shot and its not a joke. You see, it wouldnt be so funny if you didnt cry. I wanted this too well, its true, that is, whats inside, whats the atmosphere there, ukrainian, its history, i can tell a lot about this place. How do you feel about the fact that the moscow patriarchate still sits here . And here , 100 m from this lavra, there is a monument do you understand that this symbolizes victory over us and this is disgrace with this . This is artem, he is not even artem , his name is not even that. Here it is the base was because of that his son was robbed here, he is an organizer of the holodomor of 2122, he is one of the organizers of the holodomor of 2122, under the guise of a red gang, and when he was caught by the haidamaks of bakhmut and the popes there, and he was lost there for the fact that he was engaged in agrabezh, organized the holodomor, and having such a majestic monument in such a sacred city, he has a piece of victory over us all the time glorifying himself. It is wrong, you know that the war began with this monastery here and 13 in april 2014, 39 green men came here to cross their heads with their rifles, and nelya shtepa, the chief of the police, the head of the sbu, came here, the whole elite betrayed the traitorous elite , stripped them, took off their turbans, took off their green uniforms, and from here on the 14th, they went about the dnr went there already, everything was delicious, because the war left slavyansk from here, you understand, everything has a personal guard, it consisted of spiritual sons, e. E. , anarchs, e. E. , hieromonks of the svyatogorsk lavra, completely to the last person, it was not very big но tем мне еtо были we have, uh, one of the subordinates in the slavic brigade, the novice team, i also sing the whole thing, i know that our soldiers settled down very well on these mountains, and very kindly, you are the rashists below, who have deployed their combat equipment all over the world, well, you understand, right here when we moved to the other side, we didnt have such a thing as constant changeovers , uh, well, i thought that in principle they would storm. They let us go on vacation for a little while. I think there will be an Assault Attack i was already thinking where it is possible to get a foothold like that and leave well, somehow, still, well, understanding that there will be another barrage of fire, but he did not come, i did not know that the hymers had already appeared , that three axes had appeared, we did not know that , sitting here on the mountain, somehow it is possible it started strangely like this well, i think you already knew what three axes were, she was there bz there yy it went and so, well, there they shot at the american cannon three times in a day there everything and then yy and nonstop day goes on we are like that what is this it is not clear, but it will continue. And how are we, well, already on the new one there you say that the kharkiv people chased there and when they chased only kupyanska there, well, the order came to us to prepare for an assault, and we are in the same place on his bridge demos raft, they sent ivantsov a string, they even dragged me there by steam, well, but how there was no such a strong fight, er, i already fought. Well, they became the second way, that is, the sweep went, you know, in general, there is war, the death of a soldier, there is cowardice, there is fear, er, when you have spent a long time, you simply understand that fear is just mixing and war chooses itself. Well, he is there da vinci died there. He comes out of the water. What are the Strongest Special
