00:00:11So Koshevich, Koshevich, look, we need to sort through this junk,
00:00:15you'll check your stuff, there are some grasshoppers lying around, grasshoppers
00:00:18to pack, you remember, right? And send them off. Get undressed, eat,
00:00:22rest, and let's go to work. 12
00:00:25by 70 rounds are needed, well, that's already
00:00:27in the armory.
00:00:39Well, my first contract is almost up, it ends on June 1st, so there's just about a month
00:00:43left. My contract ends on May
00:00:461st. How old are you? 18. 18.
00:00:5021, well, I turned 21 right at the position in February.
00:00:54So, how did you... were you called up for conscription? No, no, I
00:00:58came myself, I came myself. Where are you from?
00:01:00Novoshakhtinsk, Rostov region. Oh, close by. Yes, you're from Mytishchi,
00:01:03Moscow region. It pulled me in, yes.
00:01:07Well, what can I say, it just happened. My great-grandfather, grandfather, and father
00:01:10all fought, and now it's my turn. There is a flow of
00:01:14really young people, really
00:01:16eighteen and nineteen-year-olds. Well, this just goes to show that
00:01:20this generation, which is completely
00:01:23new, yes, it's much healthier than the previous one, than the generation
00:01:27that grew up absorbing the values of
00:01:31the nineties. But the generation that grew up already, well, let's say, in
00:01:34Putin's, yes, if you can put it that way, yes, society, in
00:01:37Putin's world, it's much more resilient in terms of psyche and truly
00:01:41patriotic.
00:01:43These young guys are coming, and it's good that they're coming, it's great. It's terribly
00:01:47sad when they die, it's true. When
00:01:50an eighteen-year-old guy is wounded, and it's impossible to reach him, for example,
00:01:54but we can't pull him out, right, he understands that basically
00:01:57he's done for. He unties himself, on himself. They live and say,
00:02:01"Farewell, forgive me," well, that
00:02:04happens, yes, this is a real
00:02:06case.
00:02:08It's a shame, of course, yes, it's a pity
00:02:10for such people.
00:02:16What a hello, hello. Who gave it to you? Who gave you
00:02:20your nephew? My nephew, yes. My amulet,
00:02:23guardian angel. What's your name? My name is Amir.
00:02:26Amir, Tatar? No, who?
00:04:44so that the guys don't lack anything.
00:04:47They don't see or hear us, but we have to make
00:04:50the delivery, we have to deliver it at any cost,
00:04:53yes.
00:05:02Because a person always wants
00:05:05to eat and drink,
00:05:08and there are other merits, others, us.
00:05:12We, we are like secret special forces, we can't
00:05:16be shown. Go ahead and unpack.
00:05:33Come on, come on, yes, come on.
00:05:36Guys, may God grant them health, they're great, they're the rest,
00:05:40how much does it shake their psyche. Every time they want to kill them, they still
00:05:44carry it, even the car is not as important to us as the lives of
00:05:47the guys, the soldiers.
00:05:50This is Kuba, call sign, this is a shooter also
00:05:53from the Diesel detachment, a professional hunter. By the way, yesterday
00:05:57was the hottest day, I almost got killed yesterday.
00:06:00Again. Again. Tell us
00:06:02what happened. Well, what happened?
00:06:06What happened? What?
00:06:09We went, something was loaded. Loaded.
00:06:26I saw a "zhdun" sitting in front of us on the road. Stop, stop,
00:06:29stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop.
00:06:33Where straight? Take
00:06:34the rifle. Where? There it
00:06:38flies. So I decided to go.
00:06:42To call it to me, it was a child of the farm there, so
00:06:46let's get closer, I'll go there for
00:06:49reconnaissance if anything.
00:06:51Well, walking through the grass was not an option, to bypass and cut through the fishing line,
00:06:55because you could step on a mine. So I went straight along the road, the bird rose,
00:06:59flew towards me, fire! No time to think.
00:07:12Who flew away. I hit it, it was probably three meters
00:07:16away, I don't know, maybe two. I thought yesterday, I thought there were
00:07:192 meters left until it. I hit it with the last bullet.
00:07:22Let's go. I had already
00:07:24said goodbye to life.
00:07:31With the last bullet.
00:07:34There was one, and one was, two, one of them cut
00:07:38the fishing line, smoking, one raised
00:07:40himself. Let's go,
00:07:44yes.
00:07:47What was your motivation to come here? All the normal guys are already
00:07:51at war, and I'm sitting around at home, so I decided to go. I didn't feel
00:07:54well, there was a certain feeling that I hadn't
00:07:58done something. The duty must be fulfilled, those are probably
00:08:02the words.
00:08:05Worthy, no, actually it's fun, it's, well, actually
00:08:09fun, yes, no, there are moments, of course, in those moments it's scary.
00:08:12Nobody will argue with that, it's always scary, but then when
00:08:16you're sitting, reminiscing, it's fun, it's
00:08:18somehow positive, well, interesting, but how much technology
00:08:21is here, all sorts of birds, not birds, they come up with, it's
00:08:25still interesting, as they say, it's war, either you or you get hit, you
00:08:29can't do anything about it. That's basically it, this is your
00:08:33rifle, the weather is good, the sky is dirty, that's it, we're loading, that's it.
00:08:37Are you ready? I'm not ready. Well, we have to. That's it, get in, yes, let's
00:08:41go.
00:08:55Going on a combat mission, our brigade protected it for
00:08:58hours, we went far ahead and for a long
00:09:02time we couldn't rotate
00:09:04them, they remained in
00:09:07their positions. The enemy started using kamikaze drones
00:09:11and FPV drones with drops
00:09:14to attack us. Immediately I lost one of my soldiers.
00:09:18He was a "200" from a drop. The drop was aimed at
00:09:22me, but the wind blew it a bit off course, he was next to me, the drop fell on him,
00:09:25he died. I was hit by shrapnel. For 5 days
00:09:29they didn't let us leave, the enemy was shelling us. A helicopter attacked
00:09:33us twice, it was like hell there. One
00:09:36guy, a "first-timer" as we call them, a new recruit
00:09:40was with me, well, he cried, I remember he was really crying... he was scared, I said, "Don't
00:09:43be afraid." He was lying next to me under the plate, he
00:09:46got frostbite, they just removed the phalanges of his toes, yes, from one foot,
00:09:50they amputated half of my foot. He massaged
00:09:53my legs, he looked after me there, massaged. My circulation was already
00:09:56impaired from the injury. On January 7th, it was a
00:10:00holiday, God gave us good weather. At 2 AM
00:10:04we left, no one knew the way. I escorted them,
00:10:07led the guys. The mortar also started firing there, it's like
00:10:11standard, steady. Right
00:10:25there, my body was severely hypothermic. I was lighting
00:10:28with this lighter, a flashlight, and one of my legs was completely bare, I couldn't
00:10:32feel it. My shoe had been blown off, my shoe size was 41, but my leg became something like
00:10:36a size 45, it started to swell. So I went out
00:10:39barefoot like that, then in Bogdanovka, in the populated area, I
00:10:42fell right onto the road, onto the tank track.
00:10:46That's it, and the guys hugged me, they were breathing on me, I'll never forget
00:10:49them breathing on me, warming me up with their warmth, they hugged me,
00:10:53warmed me up, and then they brought me to the stabilization center. Everything
00:10:57is serious, they say, it will be 100% amputation. Well, I already understood that, I was ready.
00:11:00The main thing is to be alive, well, they were waiting to see how far the gangrene would go.
00:11:04The leg was rotting very badly. I endured it for 2 weeks, like, how far this stage would go, and
00:11:08from there to there they would cut.
00:11:10The doctors fought for my leg, like, they saw that I wanted to keep working,
00:11:14and all that, and so, well, they cut off as much as they
00:11:17could save. Despite having a prosthesis, he serves in
00:11:20the brigade, also performs tasks, goes to the
00:11:23LBS. No one would say that...
00:12:25There was a task to allocate several soldiers for reinforcement, I
00:12:28am the chief of staff, and we were the first to sign up
00:12:32for this list, we went on this list, yes. So there's
00:12:36no such thing as "I'm an artilleryman, let the grass not grow,"
00:12:39we don't have that. We all fight, we are all
00:12:42here.
00:12:45And how did you become a deputy? How did it happen? Well, I've already gone through all levels
00:12:48of legislative power, through elections, to the State
00:12:52Duma.
00:12:54Here we have? Medicine. Ah, well, thank
00:12:57God, as you can see, all beds are free. Here's Galyunya,
00:13:01currently two of our soldiers are recovering in Luhansk. During evacuation,
00:13:04they were extracting a soldier, and he became a
00:13:08"300."
00:13:10He broke his ribs during the attack.
00:13:12It happened
00:13:17last
00:13:18week.
00:13:22One died immediately.
00:13:25Oh no, we had one then, yes, the loader
00:13:29died immediately. No, he didn't, he didn't
00:13:32die immediately, they managed to get him to the stabilization
00:13:35point, and during the operation,
00:13:39yes, unfortunately.
00:13:42There were attacks by two birds, they managed to hit one bird, but they simply didn't
00:13:46see the second one.
00:13:53412 left 030.
00:14:03I am proud, I feel comfortable in terms of understanding
00:14:07where I am, I see that there is a very competent and professional
00:14:10team, the commander himself has been here since 2015,
00:14:13meaning he is a true professional, he clearly understands
00:14:16where there are minuses, where there are plusses, and these plusses need to be used
00:14:20in a professional team, I am the political deputy, deputy
00:14:23commander for political affairs.
00:14:32Until you asked, I didn't even notice the difference between
00:14:35people here, I just see a
00:14:38true professional, someone experienced, as they say, and someone
00:14:41who is still, let's call it,
00:14:44a semi-finished product. The first task is for the semi-finished product
00:14:48to be next to professionals, and the second is for him
00:14:51to be comfortable when...
00:15:37conversations beyond borders.
00:15:41Some were formal, some tense, some
00:15:44difficult, but all of them
00:15:48mattered. They chartered India's
00:15:52path and how the world
00:15:55responded. Foreign policy isn't theory,
00:15:59it is lived in arguments, in
00:16:03decisions and in their consequences.
00:16:07it's
00:16:27State Duma. I am the commander of the State Council, regional
00:16:30level, our chief of staff is a municipal deputy, we
00:16:34even have administrative employees. The president serves
00:16:38in the brigade, it doesn't matter if you're a businessman, a deputy,
00:16:41an official, we all work in positions
00:16:45that correspond to our qualifications, meaning we have
00:16:48deputies or
00:16:52officials who work directly in the field,
00:16:55infantry,
00:16:57artillery.
00:17:04Throughout the development of my platoon, I was directly present at the LBS. I prepared
00:17:07dugouts for the guys, sawed, and dug, and
00:17:11was directly with them, although at that moment I had duties here
00:17:14as well. Well, everyone understood perfectly that we needed to set an example for the guys,
00:17:18so that there would be respect, first of all, in voluntary formations, they must
00:17:22respect the commander, because well, a soldier simply won't perform, well, not that he won't perform
00:17:25tasks, but he will perform tasks inefficiently.
00:17:29Well, the personnel, in any case, of course, yes, the older ones in positions, they
00:17:33hold back, they give understanding to the newcomers, especially since
00:17:36we have a lot of young people here.
00:18:07They barely caught the frying pan, when I came in, when we came with you,
00:18:10the chief, the artillery commander was also
00:18:13sweeping, as if, right? My friend, what are we going to do? Look,
00:18:17you see, look, what, yes, everything is not a friend, oh oh, wow, they even
00:18:20expanded it, darn it,
00:18:23uh-huh. So they didn't block anything,
00:18:26заложили,
00:18:29well, there was only one block there, so you have to hit from above, not through
00:18:32the bags. Alright, we'll fly off now. The enemy's
00:18:36manpower, lay it down.
00:19:07probably faded into the background, he now directly
00:19:11commands a separate UAV detachment,
00:19:14and he himself
00:19:17is engaged in burning enemy tanks.
00:19:20противника,
00:19:27No, no, no, spin it, spin it, come on, kid, come on,
00:19:30kid.
00:19:32Come on, come on, come on, come on, yes,
00:19:36yes.
00:20:03Well, it so happened that I lost my tank, the chief of staff came up and said, "We
00:20:06need. There's this drone, well, they called it a bird
00:20:09among the people. Can you master it?" I said, "Well, let me try." From that moment on,
00:20:13we started correcting tanks from closed positions. All
00:20:17the UAV operators were some kind of tankmen, a signalman, for example,
00:20:20a cook, or the same tankmen, for example, well, they took people who were more or less good at
00:20:24it. All this started to develop quickly,
00:20:28and by the end of 2023, it had already become the
00:20:31basis. And they are already flying over, yes, they have
00:20:33flown over, but this is radio, well, radio, I
00:20:36understand, fly closer,
00:20:38fly closer.
00:20:43Yes, the toilet is still working, through the internet. So,
00:20:47basically, we'll be leaving soon.
00:20:51During my service, we had an offensive on Krasnohorivka, at that time in the
00:20:55South Donetsk direction, and at that time I was studying,
00:20:58defending my master's thesis, yes, I have three higher
00:21:01education degrees. Right in the dugout, my
00:21:04commission from the Donetsk National Technical University is sitting there, I have an arrival there, and we just
00:21:08had an offensive. I kicked the guys out, and at that time I was already the platoon commander, well, of course, so I
00:21:12kicked the guys out to another room, they were controlling it, and we had
00:21:15arrivals there, they didn't understand what was happening, earth was falling from the ceiling, and I
00:21:18was defending my master's thesis from...
00:21:51This is such a large outskirt that not every bird can
00:21:54fly over it. Three whole
00:21:56ones flew over.
00:23:20Well, because there were already Serbs here, like two or three people,
00:23:24well, through connections, here and there, where to go, they said, "Well, it's normal there," I said, "Well,
00:23:28I have my own, I'll go." That's how I ended up here.
00:23:32I arrived in 2020, came to
00:23:35Russia, I'm from Western Ukraine, I came to
00:23:39Mariupol, the war started, well,
00:23:43I stayed, I thought, why would I go there?
00:23:46Hatred.
00:23:49Because subhumans
00:23:52kill, rape,
00:23:56well, as they like it, these are people, but
00:23:59there are simply non-humans. If a person comes from Russia
00:24:02there, it's over, they can cut you, they'll do something
00:24:06else, people are like that. And what was your
00:24:09motivation? My citizen, you know, brother, how can
00:24:13there be no motivation, a citizen of Russia, of course, I found out
00:24:16that, damn, you can serve and become a citizen, I thought, well... my
00:24:20thing, I'll go, well, at the same time I'll pay my debt to my new homeland,
00:24:23well, it's all together, well, and
00:24:26we're those kind of guys, we love action,
00:24:48like the previous one, huh?
00:25:20Yes, come in, guys. Well, tell me, where did
00:25:24it come from? Serezhko-Donetsk direction, from
00:25:27the channel, during operational reconnaissance, a
00:25:30flag was detected. Well, we thought, Ukraine doesn't have
00:25:34enough of it yet, no, it has it, it's there on that previous
00:25:37one. And weren't Americans attached to the flag,
00:25:41mercenaries? Not yet, we haven't encountered them yet.
00:25:45Not yet, not yet. Well, as far as we
00:25:47know, already according to...
00:26:02who have a different view of the past than
00:26:05us, a different view
00:26:08of the future. They betrayed, not just us,
00:26:12yes, those who live
00:26:15now, they betrayed the
00:26:18generations behind them, they
00:26:22betrayed their fathers, and grandfathers, and great-grandfathers, and
00:26:25great-great-grandfathers, all those who defended
00:26:29Russia, Greater Russia, which includes... both
00:26:32Great Russia, and Little Russia, and Belarus, and many other
00:26:35things, because they betrayed all these people,
00:26:39who fought for a thousand years for us to have a country,
00:26:43and our own culture, our own art, our own
00:26:47faith, our own understanding of things, our own
00:26:50worldview.
00:26:55Now I want to become a deputy of the State Council
00:26:58in civilian life, that is, we need to achieve the completion of the special military
00:27:02operation. Achieve victory and return to civilian life. I
00:27:05want to be the husband of my wife, the father of my
00:27:09children, a deputy of the State Council. I want
00:27:12to live a normal civilian life under
00:27:15a peaceful sky. That's what I dream of
00:27:18now.
00:27:22Do you have a dream? Oh, a dream...
00:27:26Damn, I do have one, probably, of course, everyone has
00:27:29one, but I have a lady of my heart, as they
00:27:32say. I need to get married, I'm already of age, soon, damn,
00:27:3624 years old, and I haven't
00:27:39married yet.
00:27:46That is, so that people learn to love,
00:27:49everyone. Love will save this world, that's the main
00:27:53dream. And otherwise,
00:27:56a large family, a strong
00:27:59family, four sons, a little daughter...
00:28:02such a huge house, a huge
00:28:05tree next to the house and that everyone be
00:28:09happy, happy and that children don't
00:28:12see this.
00:28:15A dream is something unattainable, like, I don't know,
00:28:18flying to space, hypothetically. Everything else is a task, I want it,
00:28:22but I need to do one, two, three and
00:28:23I'll get it.
00:28:27Thank you. Mom is waiting for sisters, three,
00:28:30three sisters, yes, that's fine. I have
00:28:33older than you, yes, well, my wife also has sisters, my
00:28:36relatives, my grandmother is waiting, do you have a dream?
00:28:39What dream? I don't know, damn, a dream, well, this dream
00:28:43came true, right? We became soldiers, I had a dream to
00:28:46serve in the Serbian special forces, it somehow didn't work out, so I'm serving in the Russian special forces.
00:28:50My dream is to return alive and well
00:28:53with victory, of course, and with a state
00:28:56medal.
00:28:58Of course, family, children,
00:29:02victory, very, this is the most important
00:29:05dream, that our swift victory
00:29:09comes. Everyone supports me, most importantly, my whole family
00:29:12supports me, my whole family is proud, I know everything, and that's enough
00:29:15for me, actually.
00:29:32now I think that this um um hegemonic
00:29:35kind of mindset um is um deeply
00:29:39um within Donald Trump's personality. Um he think
00:29:43that the American of course is is is still the the greatest and
00:29:47most powerful country on the planet and and the United
00:29:51States according to his him and his
00:29:54followers has been short changed by is even by his
00:29:57allies so it's now um incumbent
00:30:00upon him to change that by maximizing American's dominance.
00:30:18He should have an election, and he can't raise the price of
