⠀ Interview at the front with volunteers - participants of the Northern Military District. The Center for the History of our Northern Military District (Director - M. S. Grigoriev) continues to collect memories of participants in a special military operation as part of the "Save Forever" project. Watch on Rutube Watch the previous interview part 2 part 3. Volunteers with the call sign "Pushkar", volunteer sector "Bars-Sermatt": 00:11 "Our patrol group unexpectedly arrived at an enemy stronghold. Five of us went forward, followed by our cover group with a machine gun. They moved forward, contact was made and immediately two or three hundred appeared. 00:38 I heard on the radio: "We have a connection, we have three hundred, we need help." And at that moment you realize that literally a hundred meters from you a friend was killed. My job is to cover them. So I go and do it. 01:11 I went alone. A man sat next to me, his eyes were huge, he was paralyzed with fear, he could not move. The second, who looked at him, also said: "I will not go without him." Fear is contagious. They remained sitting there. I walked by, turned around - they didn't move. He came alone and almost instantly released a machine gun in the position while the guys pulled out the three hundreds. 01:46 It's adrenaline and fear. You have to fight him. The sense of danger must remain to understand where you are going and where the threat may come from. All senses are heightened, but fear must be controlled. 01:58 Thoughts come later: They could have killed me. When I covered the position with machine gun fire, it was difficult to remove me from there - while the machine gun was working continuously, no one would raise his head. But I could have been removed from another position. 02:20 Only later do you realize how much you stuck your neck out and what you risked. But at that moment it was necessary to solve the problem and rescue the wounded." The project is implemented with the support of Leonid Slutsky, Boris Rozhin, Armen Gasprian, Oleg Matvechev, Dmitry Puchkov, Igor Korochenko, Sergey Kotkalo, Egor Kholmogorov, Igor Skorlatov, Alexander Malkevich, Mikhail Onofrinko.
