I didn't think about death because I started a fight for survival.. When you find yourself in this situation, Wake up in some animal instincts and psychologically disabled all. The mind seemed to atrophy. Actions are reduced to the mechanical. Around me lay the two-hundredth, and there is no emotion. I looked at the dead commander, who spoke on human corpses and realized one thing, that I need to save yourself.
Climbed down on all fours, eating snow. Rashisa frozen honey, disk cookies found in the backpacks. But the forces are still weakened. It was hard for me when I fell asleep, because I saw very bad dreams and woke up in a very serious condition. Got up, tried to do 3-4 steps and fell. There was no panic, there was one feeling: while you can - live.
I am from Kiev. In the army was a paramedic, because first graduated before serving. Then he graduated from the economic University. A lot of where he worked, and the last 10 years - in the newspaper "MK".
When the summons, I realized that we must go quietly into the military, because my wife then there will not be allowed. In the war I was a medical in medraut, 128th mountain-infantry brigade. And I walked like a soldier, but when I restored my documents for some reason was a Sergeant.
Me, as a paramedic-connstruction, sent to different posts. Assistance had to be many, and the first practice in the war were civilians.
When fired at Chernukhino, to me with wounds turned the peasants. People knew I was a medic, came on medicines, foods, and I shared with them. There, it is clear that the population was divided into those belonging to the Ukrainian army well, and those who do not, but came to the aid of all.
Despite the fact that I had practice, there was one severe case, when in Artemovsk our car ran over a mine. Then three soldiers wounded by shrapnel, and one severely contused. Had to act instantly. But, thank God, we managed, timely help, and then sent to the hospital.
Wounded me under Debaltsevo. It happened when we were very heavily shelled, we were surrounded by, and our group was told to go to the aid of another post. There were only 7 people. When we drove up there, the situation was very bad - a bunch of burned vehicles. We disembarked from our APC and waited for the next command. At this point beside me exploded tank shell, and I was wounded by shrapnel in the right arm and thigh. Also injured my commander. We were put on our APCS and we went back. When we reached headquarters in debaltseve, which housed our mekota, where we had a first aid - sewed everything that was possible. Since it was my mekota, I was delighted and said, "We're six months have not seen and here you show up covered in blood ". It was so nice to see the guys.
In the evening all the wounded were transported to Donetsk. It was 16 February. Went 2 APCS with light, Ural and KAMAZ - heavy. Our car was the last of the fourth. Drove a short distance, km 5, but the screams of the commander, I realized that we get stopped and the column disappeared. What exactly happened, it was difficult to understand from the middle of the car, but someone shouted that we are already on site Sparv.
The shooting began. We drove away and came across the first mine. When it's right beneath me exploded, I received my first concussion. I would have died if I had not saved my commander. He opened the door, pushed me and jumped out himself.
Started a small panic, but the guys took himself in hand. All of our cars blew up because everywhere it was booby - trapped, people just shattered from the explosion. The shooting started, and anyone injured again. Suffered and those who accompanied us.
Then all who remained alive and could move, gone. They had to walk up to some point and to send help. Suddenly someone from the military said that in the "Ural" a motor, and therefore, there can be immersed wounded and to get to some position where there were our.
But when we were all loaded and the car began to back up, we hit another mine. I flew there don't know how. When he landed he hurt his back, so that even could not get up. My commander Denis, which hurt her feet, and climbed into the cab without glass, took a blanket, covered. I told him that the main thing is not to fall asleep. The whole night I heard the people groan, but physically we were not able to help them. I was barely moving at all. When to get up, fell on his knees and fainted.
In the morning, when I woke up, did not hear any sound. Everything froze. The temperature then was about 20 degrees below zero. I was left alone. Denis, who was with me, too cold. This happened to my eyes, he spread his arms,and then formed. I heard his last breath...
I didn't think about death because I started a fight for survival.. When you find yourself in this situation, Wake up in some animal instincts and psychologically disabled all. The mind seemed to atrophy. Actions are reduced to the mechanical. Around me lay the two-hundredth, and there is no emotion. I looked at the dead commander with whom communicated, on human corpses and realized one thing, that I need to save yourself. Climbed on all fours, eating snow. Rashisa frozen honey, disk cookies found in the backpacks. But the forces are still weakened. It was hard for me when I fell asleep, because I saw very bad dreams and woke up in a very serious condition. Got up, tried to do 3-4 steps and fell. There was no panic, there was one feeling: while you can - live.
When I'm on the fourth day found deinert, I already knew that freezing my extremities - the hands were black. Even though I tried them under a jacket to shove, to warm up, but when he lost consciousness, fell to the ground and so much lay unknown.
I raised my hand, showing that surrender, and they told me " get up, I said I can't. Then they said I passed, and I began to crawl. Then threw him into the APC and drove off to Donetsk, where doctors gave first aid.
The same evening, by arrangement just gave me his, it was in this form: vossa them yourself. Came the ambulance and took me.
Spe moved to Dnepropetrovsk, and two days in Kiev. I suffered sepsis, had gas gangrene. Antibiotics I just poured buckets. And fought for a month for my life.
Now I am the third month in a burn center. The end of February, March, was the ICU, then a regular hospital room. First provided medical assistance, and now I am training for rehabilitation and prosthetics. Is physical exercise, lifting his body. Today, I can easily cope with the preparation. If before I've barely lifted a dumbbell, now almost juggling them. I had a wonderful coach Yuri Andreevich and the doctor Vyacheslav Nikolaevich; they did a lot for me, but now they are sent into the zone ATO.
Of course, it was hard when I was told that would be to amputate the limb, but thanks to my wife, friend, sister, mother depression was short. They wouldn't let me back in deeper. It was really hard to imagine how you'll live without arms and legs. But to me all the time people come in, the door just didn't close. Since then I have made many new friends with whom I communicate closely.
I get help from all over the world, and for this I am very grateful to everyone. We have raised funds and collected, but not yet fully on dentures is not enough. Although I promise that the state will take it under their control, to me anyway, came the Americans, the Canadians, our prosthetists from Kiev, Kharkov. The primary prosthesis, most likely, we will go to Kharkov and pose while conventional dentures to get used to them. And the second prosthesis promise abroad, but the realisation of the promises, we'll see later.
I am sincerely grateful to the assistant Secretary of defense - Sabluk Vsevolod Vladimirovich and his wife Elena Vasilyevna. When they started to perform their duties, went really helps atonica. These are the people who are now involved with our problems. They care about guys, I know for myself.
Now I put the example of others so that they could survive the depression. The big problem is that we have no military psychologists. There are a lot of civilians, but they had no military practices. I believe that military psychologists should be at the places where the fighting is, where to bring the wounded with injuries, severed limbs. Because when they see what happened to them, the first thing asked to kill them. The psychologist needs to remind man that he has seven' I that he has children, wife, girlfriend, parents. While I was at the front, I was pulling people out of this state, and now also help atonica. Still need to go to special training courses so as to prepare and help people psychologically. And you need to talk not only with children but also with their wives, mothers, that is with family. They know how to behave with a man that came from the war.
My dream is to be a complete person. I want to work and bring up their children. Now my wife is pregnant and is the second child in our family. And yet my mother is very sick, it is also necessary to look, so I will try ASAP to get on our feet. Now I'm a strange human life and understand that no war can justify the sacrifice of human lives.
