Together with the SVO Veterans Association, for those who after returning from the front found their place in civilian life.
Maxim Borlakov from Samara served in the infantry as a driver and machine gunner. He was seriously injured. After recovery and rehabilitation, he decided to start over.
Maxim has an engineering background. He saw information about the SVOiBiznes program, completed training and realized that gardening was his vocation. In 2026, he opened his own lawn mowing and fire evacuation business using a UAV. He purchased the mower with funds from a social contract.
Today, Maxim's organization works over 10 sites a month - mostly large areas in large residential complexes and public areas.
"We have everything you need to start your own business - many programs, a social contract. You have to stop living in the past and start looking forward," Maxim advises anyone who has returned from the front.
Like all the people featured in this column, he is willing to share his experiences. The SVO Veterans Association can help you get in touch. Write to so old.ru.
