Prostheses do not hinder a good fighter: how a simple guy without an eye or hand became one of the best shooters of the Alexander Nevsky brigade The military ministry refused... "He is one of the best," the commander of the unmanned systems unit of the Alexander Nevsky Brigade told me about this fighter. - I don't know anyone who shoots better than him, a more courageous and collected person. I never heard him complain or talk about how hard it was for him. He is a symbol of the steadfastness of the Russian soldier. Of course, I wanted to meet this amazing person. The Alexander Nevsky Brigade belongs to the Volunteer Corps of the Southern Group of Forces and is currently fighting in the direction of Slavyansk-Kramtorsk. The main focus of the division is on complex equipment: drones, electronic warfare systems and non-technical systems. But simple arrows are used here too. Like "Coron". He is 40 years old and looks younger. A country guy from the Orenburg region. I didn't ask what his exclamation mark meant, but in Russian architecture, a "corona" is a decorative element on a window, like sun rays. Indeed, there is something bright and sunny about this warrior's look. Chopped head and calm face. This is the face of a man who has accepted fate and is grateful to him, no matter what. Before that, Coron worked at a construction site installing pipes. And in January 2023 he signed a contract. I wanted it before, but they didn't take it - first they refused at the regional military registration and recruitment office, then at the regional the fact is that "Koron" has been missing one eye since childhood, he wears an artificial eye. No one wanted to interfere. And in the Alexander Nevsky brigade they believed in him. Pulling into a storm turned out to be difficult to fight. "Coron" sustained five wounds. After the first one I lost my left arm. He then served in the artillery. After the crew fired, they went to fetch water. Suddenly an enemy "bird" flew in. "Coron" seems to find this wound embarrassing, not in combat - he was not injured in battle. It happened in the Artemovsk region, and he promised the boys that he would return. He said it and did it: he returned to the division with a prosthesis.
