Russia is coming back.

In May 2012, for saving a nine-year-old child, a twelve-year-old boy, Danil Sadykov, was awarded the Order of Courage in Tatarstan. Unfortunately, his father, also a Hero of Russia, received the Order of Courage for him.

At the beginning of May 2012, Small child fell into a fountain, the water in which suddenly turned out to be under high voltage. There were a lot of people around, everyone shouted, calling for help, but did nothing. Only Danil made the decision. It is obvious that his father, who received the title of hero after worthy service in the Chechen Republic, raised his son correctly. Courage is in the Sadykovs’ blood. As investigators later found out, the water was energized at 380 volts. Danil Sadykov managed to pull the victim onto the side of the fountain, but by that time he himself received a severe electric shock. For the heroism and dedication shown in saving a person in extreme conditions 12-year-old Danil, a resident of Naberezhnye Chelny, was awarded the Order of Courage, unfortunately posthumously.

The commander of the communications battalion, Sergei Solnechnikov, died on March 28, 2012 during an exercise near Belogorsk in the Amur Region.

During the grenade throwing exercise, an incident occurred. an emergency situation- a grenade, after being thrown by a conscript, hit the parapet. Solnechnikov jumped up to the private, pushed him aside and covered the grenade with his body, saving not only him, but also many people around. Awarded the title of Hero of Russia.

In the winter of 2012, in the village of Komsomolsky, Pavlovsky district, Altai Territory, children were playing on the street near the store. One of them, a 9-year-old boy, fell into a sewer well with ice water, which was not visible due to large snowdrifts. If it weren’t for the help of 17-year-old teenager Alexander Grebe, who accidentally saw what happened and did not jump into the icy water after the victim, the boy could have become another victim of adult negligence.

On a Sunday in March 2013, two-year-old Vasya was walking near his house under the supervision of his ten-year-old sister. At this time, Sergeant Major Denis Stepanov went to see his friend on business and, waiting for him behind the fence, watched the child’s pranks with a smile. Hearing the sound of snow sliding off the slate, the fireman instantly rushed to the baby and, jerking him aside, took the blow of the snowball and ice.

Twenty-two-year-old Alexander Skvortsov from Bryansk unexpectedly became a hero of his city two years ago: he pulled seven children and their mother out of a burning house.


In 2013, Alexander was visiting eldest daughter neighboring family, 15-year-old Katya. The head of the family went to work early in the morning, everyone was asleep at home, and he locked the door. In the next room, mother of many children I was busy with the kids, the youngest of whom was only three years old, when Sasha smelled smoke.

First of all, everyone logically rushed to the door, but it turned out to be locked, and the second key lay in the parents’ bedroom, which had already been cut off by fire.

“I was confused, first of all I started counting the children,” says Natalya, mother. “I couldn’t call the fire department or anything, even though I had the phone in my hands.”
However, the guy was not at a loss: he tried to open the window, but it was tightly sealed for the winter. With a few blows from the stool, Sasha knocked out the frame, helped Katya get out and handed the rest of the children what they were wearing into her arms. I dropped my mom off last.

“When I started to climb out, the gas suddenly exploded,” says Sasha. – My hair and face were singed. But he’s alive, the children are safe, and that’s the main thing. I don’t need gratitude.”

The youngest citizen of Russia to become a holder of the Order of Courage in our country is Evgeniy Tabakov.


Tabakov’s wife was only seven years old when the bell rang in the Tabakovs’ apartment. Only Zhenya and his twelve-year-old sister Yana were at home.

The girl opened the door without being at all wary - the caller introduced himself as a postman, and since closed city(military town Norilsk - 9) it was extremely rare for someone stranger to appear, Yana let the man in.

The stranger grabbed her, put a knife to her throat and began to demand money. The girl struggled and cried, the robber ordered her younger brother to look for money, and at that time he began to undress Yana. But the boy could not leave his sister so easily. He went into the kitchen, took a knife and stabbed the criminal in the lower back with a running start. The rapist fell from pain and released Yana. But it was impossible to deal with the repeat offender with childish hands. The criminal got up, attacked Zhenya and stabbed him several times. Later, experts counted eight puncture wounds on the boy’s body that were incompatible with life. At this time, my sister knocked on the neighbors and asked them to call the police. Hearing the noise, the rapist tried to escape.

However, the bleeding wound of the little defender that left a mark and the loss of blood did their job. The repeat offender was immediately captured, and the sister, thanks to the heroic act of the boy, remained safe and healthy. The feat of a seven-year-old boy is the act of a person with an established life position. The act of a real Russian soldier who will do everything to protect his family and his home.

GENERALIZATION
It’s not uncommon to hear conditional liberals blinded by the West or voluntarily blindfolded, dogmatic Advisors declare that all the best is in the West and this is not in Russia, and all the heroes lived in the past, therefore our Russia is not their Motherland...

Let's leave the ignorant in their ignorance, and turn our attention to modern heroes. Little ones and adults, ordinary passers-by and professionals. Let's pay attention - and let's take an example from them, let's stop remaining indifferent to our own country and our citizens.

The hero commits an action. This is an act that not everyone, perhaps even a few, would dare to do. Sometimes such valiant people are awarded with medals, orders, and if they do without any signs, then with human memory and inescapable gratitude.

Your attention, and knowledge of your heroes, the understanding that you should be no worse - is the best tribute to the memory of such people and their valiant and most worthy deeds.

Imagine trying to save a blind man from a burning building, walking step by step through searing flames and smoke. Now imagine that you are blind too. Jim Sherman, born blind, heard his 85-year-old neighbor's cries for help when she was trapped in her burning house. He found his way, moving along the fence. Once he got to the woman's house, he somehow managed to get inside and find his neighbor Annie Smith, who was also blind. Sherman pulled Smith from the fire and took her to safety.

Skydiving instructors sacrificed everything to save their students

Few people will survive a fall of several hundred meters. But two women did it thanks to the dedication of two men. The first gave his life to save a man whom he saw for the first time in his life.

Skydiving instructor Robert Cook and his student Kimberley Dear were about to make their first jump when the plane's engine failed. Cook told the girl to sit on his lap and tied their belts together. As the plane crashed to the ground, Cook's body bore the brunt of the impact, killing the man but leaving Kimberly alive.

Another skydiving instructor, Dave Hartstock, also saved his student from being hit. This was Shirley Dygert's first jump, and she jumped with an instructor. Diegert's parachute did not open. During the fall, Hartstock managed to get under the girl, softening the blow to the ground. Dave Hartstock injured his spine, the injury paralyzed his body from the neck down, but both survived.

Mere mortal Joe Rollino (pictured above) performed incredible, inhuman things during his 104-year life. Although he only weighed about 68 kg, in his prime he could lift 288 kg with his fingers and 1,450 kg with his back, for which he won various competitions several times. However, not the title “Most strong man in the world" made him a hero.

During World War II, Rollino served in the Pacific and received a Bronze and Silver Star for bravery in the line of duty, as well as three Purple Hearts for battle wounds that left him in the hospital for a total of 2 years. He carried away 4 of his comrades from the battlefield, two in each hand, and also returned to the thick of the battle for the rest.

Fatherly love can inspire superhuman feats, and this was proven by two fathers on opposite sides of the world.

In Florida, Joeph Welch came to the aid of his six-year-old son when an alligator grabbed the boy's arm. Forgetting about his own safety, Welch hit the alligator, trying to force it to open its mouth. Then a passerby arrived and began punching the alligator in the stomach until the animal finally let go of the boy.

In Mutoko, Zimbabwe, another father saved his son from a crocodile when it attacked him in a river. Father Tafadzwa Kacher began poking reeds into the animal's eyes and mouth until his son ran away. Then the crocodile targeted the man. Tafadzwa had to gouge out the animal's eyes. The boy lost his leg in the attack, but he will be able to tell of his father's superhuman bravery.

Two ordinary women lifted cars to save loved ones

Not only men are capable of demonstrating superhuman abilities in critical situations. The daughter and mother showed that women can be heroes too, especially when a loved one is in danger.

In Virginia 22- summer girl saved her father when a jack slipped from under the BMW he was working under and the car fell onto the man's chest. There was no time to wait for help, the young woman lifted the car and moved it, then performed artificial respiration on her father.

In Georgia, a jack also slipped and a 1,350-pound Chevrolet Impala fell onto young man. Without outside help His mother Angela Cavallo lifted the car and held it for five minutes until neighbors pulled her son out.

Superhuman abilities are not only strength and courage, but also the ability to think quickly and act in an emergency.

In New Mexico the driver school bus a seizure occurred, putting the children in danger. A girl waiting for the bus noticed that something had happened to the driver and called her mother. The woman, Rhonda Carlsen, immediately took action. She ran next to the bus and, using gestures, asked one of the children to open the door. After that, she jumped inside, grabbed the steering wheel and stopped the bus. Thanks to her quick reaction, none of the schoolchildren were injured, not to mention people passing by.

A truck and trailer drove along the edge of a cliff in the dead of night. The cab of a large truck stopped right above the cliff, with the driver inside. A young man came to the rescue, he broke the window and pulled the man out with his bare hands.

This happened in New Zealand in the Waioeka Gorge on October 5, 2008. The hero was 18-year-old Peter Hanne, who was at home when he heard the crash. Without thinking about his own safety, he climbed onto the balancing car, jumped into the narrow gap between the cab and the trailer, and broke the rear window. He carefully helped the injured driver out as the truck swayed under his feet.

In 2011, Hanne was awarded the New Zealand Bravery Medal for this heroic act.

War is full of heroes who risk their lives to save their fellow soldiers. In the movie Forrest Gump, we saw how the fictional character saved several of his fellow soldiers, even after he was wounded. IN real life You can find a more abrupt plot.

Take, for example, the story of Robert Ingram, who received the Medal of Honor. In 1966, during an enemy siege, Ingram continued to fight and save his comrades even after he was shot three times: in the head (which left him partially blind and deaf in one ear), in the arm, and in the left knee. Despite his wounds, he continued to kill North Vietnamese soldiers who attacked his unit.

Aquaman is nothing compared to Shavarsh Karapetyan, who saved 20 people from a sinking bus in 1976.

The Armenian speed swimming champion was jogging with his brother when a bus with 92 passengers left the road and fell into the water 24 meters from the shore. Karapetyan dived, kicked out a window and began to pull out people who were by that time in cold water at a depth of 10 m. They say that it took 30 seconds for each person he saved, he saved one after another until he lost consciousness in the cold and dark water . As a result, 20 people survived.

But Karapetyan’s exploits did not end there. Eight years later, he saved several people from a burning building, receiving severe burns. Karapetyan received the Order of the USSR Badge of Honor and several other awards for underwater rescue. But he himself claimed that he was not a hero at all, he simply did what he had to do.

A man takes off a helicopter to save his colleague

The TV show's set became the site of a tragedy when a helicopter from the hit series Magnum PI crashed into a drainage ditch in 1988.

During landing, the helicopter suddenly tilted, went out of control and fell to the ground, while the whole thing was captured on film. One of the pilots, Steve Kux, was pinned under the helicopter in shallow water. And then Warren “Tiny” Everal ran up and picked up the helicopter from Kax. It was a Hughes 500D, which weighs at least 703kg empty. Everal's quick reactions and superhuman strength saved Kax from being pinned in the water by a helicopter. Even though the pilot injured himself left hand, he escaped death thanks to a local Hawaiian hero.

Eleven-year-old Yakut woman Kharyskhaana Ammosova received the state medal “For Courage in Rescue” on November 2. In addition to her, the Federation Council awarded 19 more children who committed heroic deeds.

A 10-year-old girl who saved her younger siblings from a fire. A 16-year-old boy who exposed his back to being stabbed by a criminal to protect his friend. Four 13-year-olds who restrained a dangerous repeat offender. A 12-year-old boy who caught a one-year-old girl who had fallen from a window. A 17-year-old athlete who pulled out the wounded after a terrorist attack in the St. Petersburg metro.

These are real feats that our compatriots have accomplished, many of whom have not yet reached adulthood. “Children Heroes” - within the framework of this all-Russian project, the award ceremony for young Russians has been held for the fourth year in a row under the auspices of the Federation Council, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia and the Russian Union of Rescuers.

At the same time, not everyone came to Moscow for Bolshaya Dmitrovka, where the award ceremony took place. “In our country there are many children and teenagers worthy of respect and high awards - those who are not indifferent to the grief of others, who, risking their lives, threw themselves into fire and water to save a person’s life. In total, we received 229 submissions from 57 constituent entities of the Russian Federation,” said Chairman of the Federation Council Valentina Matvienko. And she expressed sincere gratitude to teachers and parents for raising such worthy citizens of our country.

A young 17-year-old girl from Zarechny, Marina Safarova, became a real hero. The girl used a sheet to pull the fishermen, her brother, and the snowmobile out of the hole.

Before the onset of spring, the young people decided to last time visit the Sursky Reservoir, in the Penza region, and after that “give up” until next year, since the ice is no longer as reliable as it was a month ago. Without going far, the guys left the car on the shore, and they themselves moved 40 meters from the edge and drilled holes. While her brother was fishing, the girl drew sketches of the landscape, and after a couple of hours she froze and went to the car to warm up, and at the same time warm up the engine.

Under the weight of the motorized equipment, the ice could not stand it and broke in the places where the holes were drilled, like after a hammer drill. People began to drown, the snowmobile hung on the edge of the ice by its ski, this entire structure threatened to break off completely, then people would have had very little chance of salvation. The men clung with all their strength to the edge of the ice hole, but their warm clothes immediately got wet and literally pulled them to the bottom. In this situation, Marina did not think about the possible danger and rushed to the rescue.
Having grabbed her brother, the girl, however, was unable to help him in any way, since the ratio of the forces of our heroine and the superior mass turned out to be too unequal. Run for help? But not a single living soul is visible in the area, only a company of the same fishermen can be seen on the horizon. Go to the city for help?
So for now time will pass people can simply drown from hypothermia. Thinking like this, Marina intuitively ran to the car. Having opened the trunk in search of an item that could help in the situation, the girl drew attention to the bag of bed linen that she had taken from the laundry. - The first thing that came to mind was to twist a rope out of sheets, tie it to the car and try to pull them out. – Marinochka remembers
The pile of laundry was enough for almost 30 meters, it could have been longer, but the girl tied the improvised cable with double calculation.
“I’ve never braided braids so quickly,” the rescuer laughs, “in about three minutes I braided about thirty meters, this is a record.” The girl risked driving the remaining distance to the people on the ice.
- Near the shore it is still very strong, I slid onto the ice and slowly drove backwards. She opened the door just in case and drove off. The cable made from the sheets turned out to be so strong that in the end they pulled out not only people, but also a snowmobile. After the rescue operation was completed, the men took off their clothes and climbed into the car.
- I don’t even have a license yet, I took it, but I’ll get it only in a month, when I turn 18. While I was driving them home, I was worried that traffic cops would suddenly come across me, and I would have no license, although in theory they would have let me go, or helped me take everyone home.

On his way to fishing, 9-year-old resident of the village of Chastye Pavel Kulikov slipped on the frozen boards of the bridge and fell into the icy water of the bay. The icy water instantly filled his rubber boots and made his clothes a deadly burden for a 9-year-old child. His friend Nikita Terekhin was not at a loss and rushed to help his comrade.

The boy hung on a high bridge so that Pavel could grab his leg and climb out of the cold water. On land, the young rescuer picked up his injured friend and took him home. Thanks to the boy’s courageous act, the schoolboy escaped with only hypothermia. The heroic deed of the third grader did not go unnoticed. The young rescuer became a real hero in the eyes of the students of his home school. The head of the Chastinsky district awarded Nikita a mobile phone and a letter of gratitude.

Documents for awarding the 13-year-old girl have been sent to the Office of the President of Russia Olesya Pushmina. Summer schoolgirl from Irkutsk region saved a drowning eight-year-old boy who was swimming in an abandoned quarry with his grandfather. At that moment there were still people on the shore, including strong men, but no one except Olesya rushed to help.

It all happened in an abandoned quarry. Olesya Pushmina and her friends came here to sunbathe and swim. They found themselves next to eight-year-old Nikita, who was taught to swim by his grandfather. At some point, Olesya noticed that an elderly man had disappeared under water, and the child was trying with all his might to swim out. Without hesitation, Olesya rushed to save the boy. He says there was only one thought in his head: not to let the child go under water. She grabbed Nikita from behind with one arm and rowed to the shore with the other. How she managed to swim to the shore with an eight-year-old boy, the fragile girl does not remember. Having seated the child on the shore, Olesya and her friends who arrived in time tried to save the man. I had to dive several times.

The Department of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia in the Krasnodar Territory awarded 12-year-old schoolboy Stas Slynko with the medal “For Courage in a Fire.” Stanislav saved his five-year-old sister and aunt from the fire. A night fire in their house in the village of Starominskaya happened in April 2012. At this time, the student's mother was in business trip. Stanislav and his younger sister Irina were under the supervision of their aunt and her husband.

The boy was the first to wake up from the sound of burning furniture and the smell of smoke. He shouted "We're on fire!" and ran to the nursery where the 5-year-old sister was sleeping.

Professional rescuers say that the child, once on fire, acted with extreme precision and courage.

On April 26, during the solemn ceremony of presenting state awards Russian Federation and the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), the medal of the President of Russia “For saving the dead” will be awarded to a 10th grade student at Kundyadinskaya high school Nyurbinsky district Mikhailov Aisen Semenovich.

In July 2009, Aisen Mikhailov twice saved drowning children. In the first case, on July 12, he pulled a six-year-old child from the water who was swimming without adult supervision. A group of children were swimming in shallow water. Suddenly, unexpectedly, one of them was carried by the current into a deep ravine, and he began to drown. Aisen, who was nearby, immediately rushed to the rescue and pulled the boy ashore.

The second incident occurred two weeks later. On this day, many children and adults were relaxing on the Vilyui River. The group of girls was about fifty meters from the main group of swimmers. Suddenly one of them, an 8th grade student, began to drown.

Aisen heard the girls’ screams as he was already leaving the beach, and, without a second’s hesitation, rushed to the rescue. And he pulled the girl ashore who had managed to drink some river water. Before the adults arrived, the boy managed to provide first aid to the victim and brought her to her senses. If it weren’t for Aisen’s presence at that tragic moment, something irreparable could have happened.

On September 1, 2009, at the Day of Knowledge holiday, for his heroic deeds, Aisen Mikhailov was awarded a Certificate from the Center of the State Inspectorate for Small Vessels of the Directorate of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia for the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia).

Summer holidays 13-year-old resident of the city. Tomsk Andrey Berenda spent with his grandmother in the village of Zima, Irkutsk region. Last year he met two brothers here - 16-year-old Maxim and 11-year-old Dima. He spent whole days with them - they went fishing, swam, and walked together. That day, August 2, around lunchtime, as soon as the water warmed up a little, the friends went to the river. However, they found it a little cold at their usual place, so they decided to wade across to the other bank and continue their rest there. Having put their things in a bag, they carefully moved through the water one after another. But then the older brother Maxim decided to play a trick on the younger one, snatched the rubber slippers from his hands and launched them downstream. Dima immediately rushed into the water after them. After swimming a little, he felt that he was beginning to be pulled deeper. The boy screamed and began to flounder, brother Maxim immediately rushed to his aid. But a strong current picked them both up and carried them down. Then Andrei realized that his friends might not get out on their own, so, throwing a bag of things, he rushed to help his brothers. Noticing that Maxim swam towards the shore, he began to pull out the younger Dima - he was already completely exhausted.
“When I swam up to him, Dima began to grab onto me, tried to climb, I felt that I myself could drown now,” Andrei recalls. “I tell him: “Calm down, turn over on your stomach, swim forward, I will push you.” Dima obeyed, and so we got to the shore. While we were swimming, I saw that Maxim was still floating on the surface. But when we got ashore and I turned around, Maxim was no longer visible. When I thought that Maxim had drowned, I felt uneasy.
Meanwhile, fishermen who watched what was happening from the shore witnessed the tragedy. However, none of them came to the aid of the brothers. They continued fishing in silence and didn’t even come up when Andrei pushed the frightened Dima onto the shore and asked to call an ambulance. The younger brother did not tell his parents about what happened to the older brother until the evening. When the pain of losing his brother overpowered the fear of his parents' anger, he told them everything. Maxim’s body was found only two days later. Andrei, meanwhile, says that if Maxim had still floated on the surface when he pulled his brother ashore, he would no doubt have returned for him. Even despite the fact that he himself was practically exhausted.

11-year-old boy Anton Chusov, with his heroic act, ended all debate about whether such a subject as “Fundamentals of Life Safety” is needed in school. In the face of the impending tragedy, he remembered what the teacher had explained, and was now awarded the medal “For saving the dead.”
September 27, 2007 Governor Vladimir region Nikolai Vinogradov in the regional administration building solemnly presented Anton Chusov with a medal “For saving the dead”: an 11-year-old schoolboy saved two drowning girls last summer, and the President of the Russian Federation signed a Decree awarding the young hero a government award.
Last July, Anton, a student from Gus-Khrustalny, swam in one of the ponds near the regional center. Close to Anton, two girls were swimming on inner tubes. One of them fell into the water and began to drown. Anton's grandmother Nina Ilyinichna, who came to look after her grandson, began to call for help, but there were no adults nearby. Anton rushed to save:
“She was already under water, and I had to push her to the surface several times,” the young hero told a newspaper correspondent.
8-year-old Christina also ended up in the water, whom Anton helped to climb onto the inner tube. Meanwhile, the grandmother was already pumping out the rescued Tanya.
Tanya swallowed a lot of water, she was shaking and shivering. Christina got off with a fright. The boy and grandmother revived the girls and took them home. For a long time no one knew what happened. In the fall, Anton went to school. He still studied with B's and C's, still made friends more with girls than with boys, still ran around during breaks and flew along the railings... When suddenly the local newspaper wrote about the boy's feat.
- My mother taught me to swim, I’m already a good breaststroke swimmer. And I’m no hero, I’m not even the best swimmer in the class,” modest Anton seemed to justify himself when newspaper and television correspondents began interviewing him. However, the little hero showed not only courage, but the professionalism of a real rescuer.
“In our class they showed a film about how to save drowning people,” explains Anton. “And I acted as taught in the film: I didn’t pull the girl by the hair, but dived and pushed her out of the water.
“I was surprised that Anton was not at all scared when he saw that the girl was drowning,” said Nina Ilyinichna, Anton’s grandmother, “especially since he himself recently learned to swim.” I was so scared when Anton started diving after the girl: what if he himself drowned!
Anton reassures his grandmother: Well, he’s alive! And then, in the life safety lesson it is clearly said: if a person is drowning, he must be saved.

The first day of the school year for students of school No. 4 in the South-Western district of the capital began in a special way. Many television cameras, journalists, representatives of the prefecture and the Ministry of Emergency Situations came to congratulate all the children and personally the 9-year-old Valentina Tsurikova, because now he is not just a schoolboy, but a real hero. At a children's camp, he was the first to come to the aid of a boy drowning in the pool.

“The girl comes up to me and says, Maxim is there, he’s already been under water for about 5 minutes. I dived next to him, I pulled him up - he didn’t move at all. When he pulled him to the surface, he put his head on the side, then the shift director ran up and started pumping him out, then the doctor came running and also started pumping him out, then they called an ambulance and started taking everyone out,” Valentin recalls that day. The whole school now knows about his heroic deed, and his parents are now truly proud of their son.

“We were proud that our son was not confused and at such a moment he was able to find his bearings and accepted the only the right decision“that the person needs to be helped,” Valya’s parents told EMERCOM correspondents.

The head of the department for the South-Western Administrative District of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia in Moscow, Viktor Shepelev, presented the young hero with the medal of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia “For excellence in eliminating the consequences of an emergency situation” and invited Valya to seriously think about a career as a rescuer.

He was not afraid and saved three lives at once. In Yekaterinburg, a 14-year-old schoolboy was solemnly awarded for heroism in a fire. IN May holidays Vladislav helped neighbors who were at risk of suffocating in their own apartment.
Marina Mikhailovna still cannot calmly recall the events of that day. And he doesn’t want to. He has only himself to blame for the fire. And here is her neighbor Vladislav Prikhodko On the contrary, that day I remembered everything that was taught in life safety lessons.
Opening the door, Vlad saw neighboring children screaming that their apartment was on fire. Undeterred, the 14-year-old boy took the boys outside and returned for their grandmother. But even after this, Vlad did not rush to save himself. After waiting for the firefighters, he showed them the apartment and the room that were on fire. It later turns out that the fire started because a 3-year-old neighbor decided to set fire to the sofa.

Vlad Morozov, a first-grader at school No. 4 in the city of Navashino, became a real hero. On September 1, EMERCOM employees came to see him during a school assembly. For his courage, the seven-year-old firefighter received a certificate from the leadership of the fire department and mittens as a souvenir. The district education department gave Vlad a ticket to a sanatorium camp.

“I really liked the mittens,” says Vlad. - When I grow up, I will also become a real fireman. I will save people from the fire."

But the boy doesn’t like to remember the day when Vlad had to show courage. Vlad spent his next holidays with his grandmother. One July night, a bird flew into the rural house of his grandmother Lidia Ivanovna. ball lightning. Lydia Ivanovna’s brother Alexander was the first to see the fireball. The pensioner slept in a separate room. Lightning hit the Russian oven, and then there was an explosion, Alexander was thrown towards the door. Somehow he crawled out onto the street: Alexander Ivanovich walked very poorly - he has been disabled since childhood. Little Vlad heard this explosion.

“The explosion deafened me, and my grandmother’s eardrums even burst,” Vlad complains.

Lidia Ivanovna lost her sight a long time ago. “I tried to go out on my own, but ran into a burning table, walked along the wall - and then it burned. I thought it was gone. And then a voice in the smoke: grandma, give me your hand, I’ll take you out. So we went,” recalls the pensioner.

Molten plastic dripped from the ceiling - straight onto Vladik's back. But he didn't cry!

“They sat me on a bench and said: “Grandma, the back of your dress is burning. Look, the bench caught fire too. Let's go further!" And as soon as we moved away from the shop, a gas cylinder exploded in the house. It was as if some force was leading the granddaughter out of the fire to a safe distance. Guardian angel, maybe?” added Lidia Ivanovna

On May 20, 2011, Denis Davydov saved a drowning first-grader. In the village of Kosh-Akach, children were playing on the banks of the Chuya River. One of the boys ended up in the water due to careless movement. The Chuya River is deep and has a strong current, so the first-grader instantly found himself in the middle of the river. Denis realized that the child could die, and, without hesitation, rushed to the rescue to save the drowning man. The young rescuer dived under the water, grabbed the boy by the collar of his clothes, pulled him to the shore and pulled the child out of the icy water. As Denis later recalled: “...there was no time, I didn’t even think about fear, I just saw that someone had fallen into the water and that I needed help.” Denis brought the rescued boy, frozen and frightened, to his home. The parents are proud of their son, but still cannot understand how the boy, despite his young age, was not afraid. On July 29, 2011, a ceremonial award ceremony for Denis Davydov took place in the assembly hall of the district administration. For his selfless, heroic act, the boy was given a gift, a medal and a certificate from the head of the Main Directorate of the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations for the Altai Republic, Colonel I.A. Bukin. Denis doesn’t consider himself a hero: “Well, what a hero I am, I just helped a person who was in trouble. Anyone else in my position did the same.” But for his peers, parents and teachers, he is a role model; they look up to him and are proud of him.

Returning home on December 18, 2004, Zhenya Pozdnyakov clearly heard a child crying. Through the windows of Mironov’s apartment, from where children’s screams and knocking could be heard, there was no way to see anything - as if a dense fog had enveloped everything. And then Zhenya clearly caught the smell of smoke. Smoke crawled out into the street from under the doors and from the windows of the Mironovs’ house.
Pozdnyakov rushed to the porch. In one movement he tore off the padlock and immediately almost threw the two boys out into the street. But he knew that the Mironovs had four children - Zhenya was his mother’s classmate large family. The fire was literally gaining strength before our eyes, and Zhenya no longer had time to think. Gritting his teeth so as not to grab the burning smoke, he rushed into the room - another boy was saved. To find the fourth, the smallest of the Mironovs, Zhenya needed a breath of fresh air. He felt how frost filled every cell of his body with lightning speed. I wanted to stand and stand under the blue December sky, ringing with blueness, with my head thrown back high. And breathe, breathe full breasts... But somewhere in the smoke and fire, two-year-old Deniska remained. Both the second and third attempts to find the boy ended unsuccessfully. Having stepped beyond the threshold of the burning room for the third time, Zhenya decided that I would not leave without the boy. And it was as if someone whispered in his ear at that moment - look under the crib. Deniska huddled under her in a corner and didn’t even move.
Only then did one of the neighbors call the firefighters. Zhenya Pozdnyakov will probably be nominated for a government award for his courage and heroism in saving four young children. A request for this was sent to the Main Directorate of the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations for the Tomsk Region by the head of a similar regional service. Employees of the administration of the Tomsk region confirmed that the decision to reward the guy who showed real heroism and true courage will be made in the near future.

For three guys, February 18 was not an ordinary day. A fifth-grader was awarded at school-wide meetings Daniil Musakhanov from school 68 in the city of Belorechensk, second grade student Nikita Sviridov and first grader Eduard Timofeev from 31 schools in the village of Rodniki.

For their courage, vigilance and correct actions when extinguishing dry grass, the Ministry of Emergency Situations employees presented the children with gifts and letters of gratitude.

“It happened on February 7 on Aerodromnaya Street in the village of Rodniki,” says Daniil Musakhanov, “I was visiting my grandmother, walking with Nikita and Edik. We noticed that dry grass was on fire in front of the house, and at any moment the fire could spread to residential buildings."

The guys put out the fire on their own and only then notified the fire department. Fire department specialists highly appreciated the actions of the guys.

In November 2005 Slava Vildanov, then a 5th grade student living in the village of Ragnuksa saved four-year-old Dima Tomashevich, who was drowning in the river. While playing on the shore, the baby slipped and fell into the cold water. Dima’s comrade managed to run to the nearest courtyard and tell Slava about everything. During this time, the drowning boy almost sank to the bottom, and only his jacket was visible on the water. But Slava entered the water and pulled the victim ashore.

For his courage and bravery in saving his friend on the water, by decree of the President of the Russian Federation, Slava was awarded the medal “For saving the dead.”

Liza Khomutova is the smallest in her 6th grade in height and weighs a little more than her younger brother. But she has been playing table tennis for four years. In her age group, she has already become the regional champion twice and took bronze, fighting against adult athletes. Every weekday he trains for three hours at the Luch sports club at the Elektropribor plant. Lisa is an ordinary girl, but even an adult can learn courage and bravery from her. Lisa was awarded the medal "For saving the dead."

Brother Sasha was walking along the pond and accidentally came across an ice hole with fragile ice. A neighbor cut an ice hole in which he had swam the day before. The ice hole was sealed by the first ice, which was covered with snow. So the danger zone on the ice did not show itself in any way. Sasha stepped on it! The ice burst and the boy immediately fell into the water. He began to scream and call for help, but a snow harvester working nearby muffled his screams. The neighbor cleaning the ice did not hear or see anything. By some miracle, the drowning Sasha’s sister, Lisa, heard the alarming cries and did everything quickly and accurately. She did not run into the house to fetch her relatives, but rushed to the ice hole. Only his brother's head and hands protruded from it. The girl, firmly grasping his hands, pulled him onto the hard ice.

For 14-year-old Dima Shapkin, school life lessons were not in vain. How to perform artificial respiration, first resuscitation measures, apply a splint. This is taught in every school. Dima never thought that one day he would have to put this knowledge into practice.

Dima, his younger brothers and 6-year-old sister spent their weekends at their grandmother’s dacha. Tamara Aleksandrovna was doing the gardening, Dima was doing housework, the kids were playing in the yard. Like all children, Vanya and Dima quickly got bored with playing at home and went outside.

Grandma, Tyoma drowned,” a frightened Vanya flew into the yard.

It turned out that the tomboys went to hell. Little Artyom went down to the shore to touch the water, and slipped on wet stones and fell into the icy water. Fast current spun the boy.

Dima, without thinking, rushed out of the house to the river, but Tyoma was already far away. Having thrown himself into the icy water, Dima managed to pull his brother ashore.

“He was blue and was no longer breathing. I remembered how in our life safety lesson the teacher told us about saving drowning people. How we trained on the doll. I turned him over, pressed on his chest and stomach, and performed artificial respiration. Water poured out of Tyoma, then he coughed and began to breathe,” Dima recalls that day.

After the rescuers were called, little Artyom was admitted to the hospital with double pneumonia - due to water getting into his lungs.

“The baby was saved by the fact that he received very competent resuscitation measures. And the most important thing is time - because in such situations, seconds count. When a child does not breathe, oxygen starvation begins, which has a very negative effect on the brain and nervous system. So, Dima is their guardian angel,” says Tyoma’s attending physician.

Dmitry Shapkin was awarded by presidential decree for his courageous and decisive actions in saving people in extreme conditions with the medal “For saving the dead.” But Dima himself does not consider himself a hero.

What could have been done differently? - Dmitry is surprised.

January 20 in the village of Kirovsky, Kamyzyaksky district Astrakhan region seven-year-old Katya Michurova saved her classmate Amir Nurgaliev, who fell into an ice hole on Erik Dulinsky. Katya and Amir were skating on ice near the house. Suddenly, Amir slipped and fell into the water. Katya was not at a loss and was able to lend a helping hand. “At first I was a little scared. I wanted to give a branch that lay nearby, but it froze to the ice and I couldn’t tear it off. Then I grabbed Amir by the sleeve of his jacket, but the ice broke off. I tried again to pull him out of the icy water, but again I failed. And only the third time, when I grabbed his hand, I managed to pull Amir onto the ice. We were very cold and quickly ran home,” recalls Katya.

At home, Katya did not tell anyone anything, and only from Amir’s grateful parents did Katya’s mother learn about her daughter’s act. To the question in class: “Were you afraid that you yourself could die?” Katya answered sincerely: “Yes. But I thought, if Amir drowned, his mother would cry a lot, and I would lose a friend.” After such words, tears came to the adults’ eyes, because not every adult could do this.

But the most heartfelt words were the words of little Amir’s mother: “This little girl, who has such a big heart, saved our family from irreparable grief. It’s even scary to think how this could end. I am very grateful to her for saving my son's life. May she always be protected by the forces of good and saved from failures and dangers.”

Employees of the Ministry of Emergency Situations went to one of the schools in the Kostroma region to present an award to a sixth-grader. Ksenia Perfilyeva, taking risks own life, saved a little boy who was drowning in the river. Moreover, neither classmates nor teachers knew about this incident. Ksyusha says that she didn’t do anything special, and everyone would have done the same in her place.
This girl previously did not stand out among her peers, but now everyone in 6 “A” knows that Ksyusha Perfilyeva has accomplished a real feat. She herself didn’t even tell her friends how she saved the neighbor’s boy; her classmates learned about it at the school assembly, when Ksyusha was awarded a certificate for saving a drowning man.
It all happened in the village of Vysokovskaya; in the summer, Ksenia visited her grandmother here. That day she went for a swim in the river, two boys were splashing there. 6-year-old Zakhar now can’t even really explain how he ended up in a deep pool, because he doesn’t know how to swim.
Zakhar Smirnov: “I stood on a rock, slipped and fell. And began to drown...”
While the boy unsuccessfully tried to get out of the river, his friend remained on the bank. But there was no one to call for help; there were no adults nearby.
This place in the village is called the “black pool”. The depth here is several meters. Seeing a neighbor’s boy floundering helplessly in the middle of the river, Ksenia Perfilyeva, without hesitation, rushed to his aid.
In a matter of seconds she swam to Zakhar, and when she carried him to the shore in her arms, he was already unconscious and not breathing.
Ksenia Perfilyeva: “When I pulled him out, he wasn’t breathing. They told us in life safety lessons, I remembered that we need to press on his chest. If he starts breathing, then everything is fine. If not, then we need to do artificial respiration.”
Ksyusha performed cardiac massage and artificial respiration, although she did not hope that it would help, when suddenly the boy came to his senses. An hour later, the child was taken to the hospital, where doctors fought for his life for several more days. Zakhara’s mother still cannot believe what happened; that day she left home for only a couple of hours - she went to the store to do some shopping, and when she returned, she found out that her son had almost died.
As a reward, the schoolgirl received a gift from the Ministry of Emergency Situations - an MP3 player; the district administration of Ksenia gave a small bonus. At school, during life safety lessons, she is now used as an example, explaining how to properly provide first aid to drowning people.
The sixth-grader assures that anyone in her place would do the same. And makes plans for the future. This year, in an essay on the topic “Choice of a profession,” Ksenia wrote that after school she will definitely try to get a job in the rescue service.

You don't have to be mature and experienced to save lives. The main thing is to have a clear mind, courage and a kind heart. The main prize in the special category of the festival “Children-Heroes” is awarded to a second-grade student of the Gzhel secondary school, which is located in the village of Gzhel, Ramensky district, Moscow region, Maria Zyabrikova.

On January 12, 2010, at 19:22, the central fire department in the city of Voskresensk received a message about a fire at the address: Tsuryupa village, st. Tsentralnaya, 3. The dispatcher sent duty guards from four fire departments to the place of the call.

At the time of the fire, there were three adults in the burning apartment - spouses Tatyana and Alexander, Alexander's brother Sergei, as well as two children - six-year-old Masha Zyabrikova and her six-month-old brother Dima.

We thought that the children were inside,” says neighbor Roza Zintsova, who discovered the fire and reported it. - But, fortunately, they were saved. Initially, apparently, it caught fire in the corridor, and thus not only the exit was blocked, but also access to water, since our neighbors only had it in the bathroom. And besides, the ceilings in the apartment were made of plastic panels, and after two breaths you could lose consciousness.”

As Masha said after the tragedy, her mother told her: “Run to Angela. I am now." Well done girl! Another would be: where am I without my mother... But Masha is not. She took her little brother in her arms and climbed out through the window. Frost minus fifteen, she ran into the entrance with Dima in her arms, wanted to take a stroller to put Dima in there. But there were no pillows, no blankets, nothing. She grabbed her brother and ran to her mother’s friend. Barefoot…

Car parents and uncle, unfortunately, died in a fire. Now Masha and Dima live with their grandparents in a private house in the village of Obukhovo. Maria Zyabrikova was awarded the medal of the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations “For courage in a fire.”

There was another case when Mikhail saw an unconscious woman lying on the street. The young man could not pass by; he stopped and recognized her as a friend of his mother. “I ran after the elders, naturally, they called an ambulance, sent the woman to the hospital - it turned out that she had a heart attack,” says Mikhail Buklaga.
Mikhail Buklaga dreams of becoming a professional rescuer and working for the Ministry of Emergency Situations.

Nastya Erokhin, a 1st grade student at school No. 27 in Tomsk, is now called “rescuer” by her classmates. A seven-year-old girl pulled her younger sister and she was able to get out of the burning house.
Fire in a single-family home log house on the street The 5th Army occurred on the afternoon of January 11. Nastya Erokhina and her five-year-old sister Lena were alone at home - the girls’ mother had left the apartment for a short time. When Nastya realized that the house was on fire, it was no longer possible to exit through the door - the veranda of the house was engulfed in fire.
But Nastya was not taken aback and closed the door behind her. However, acrid smoke quickly began to fill the house. Attempts to escape through the windows were initially unsuccessful. In the smoke, it was difficult to open only the window in the children's room halfway - the sofa propping it up was in the way. The hardest thing was with Lena - the younger sister greatly panicked, got entangled in the curtains and resisted in every possible way. Finally, having pushed past her sister, Nastya herself was able to squeeze through the narrow opening. Having jumped out into the street without clothes, the girls ran to the store where their grandmother works.
The soldiers of the 10th fire department who arrived on the scene were quickly able to control the fire, preventing it from spreading. As a result of the fire, only the veranda burned out and the apartment became smoky.
This act could not go unnoticed by Tomsk firefighters. On January 27, at the school where Nastya studies, there was extraordinary activity from early morning. The bell from the second lesson was 10 minutes early. Everyone was asked to go to the gym. At the general meeting in front of the teachers and students of the school, the rescuers awarded Nastya a diploma and soft toy. In Nastya’s hands is a certificate: “For skillful and decisive actions, courage and self-control shown in an emergency situation when saving people in a fire.” Nastya’s mother and grandmother did not hide their tears on the line.

The guys got scared, they started looking for a stick to pull Volodya out. Nikita, despite his young age, made the immediate and only correct decision; he rushed into the water and began to save the boy.

While everyone was looking for a stick, I saw that Volodya was already slipping and could not hold on. I realized that they wouldn’t have time to bring the stick,” said Nikita Medvedev. Having pulled the child out of the water onto the ice, it cracked, and the two of them found themselves in icy water. Nikita was not at a loss here either, he dived, picked up Volodya, who had already gone under the water, and together they reached the shore. The rescued baby was brought home by local children, and the wet Nikita ran to his grandmother’s house.

Ershova Alexandra Evgenevna, or simply Sasha Ershova - a heroic Tver girl, a student of school No. 35, accomplished a feat during a terrible disaster at the Transvaal water park on February 14, 2004.

Sasha, his mother Lyuba and his father Zhenya live in Tver. For dad's birthday we decided to go to Moscow. Where to go in the capital? Dad decided to show his child a real huge water park! Sasha with early childhood I went swimming, and in the water I feel like a fish.

…….When the vaults of the water park collapsed, Sasha, sandwiched between concrete blocks, held a completely unfamiliar person above the water for a long time three year old girl I wave.

“Suddenly something crunched overhead and a huge beam fell next to me,” says Sasha. “I dived and saw a little girl going under the water next to me. I realized that she couldn’t swim and grabbed her under the chest. I surfaced with her and began to console her.

The girls did not have time to jump out of the pool. Heavy slabs stacked up like a house of cards right above their heads. Sasha’s head stuck out of the water, and a frightened baby in a bright swimsuit pressed against the swimmer’s chest.

In that extreme situation It seemed to second-grader Sasha that she held little Masha in her arms for only thirty minutes. In fact, she had to wait for rescuers for a good hour and a half. All this time she held the girl in her arms, without feeling that her left arm was broken.

Sergei Prytkov, like other kids, goes to school, plays the guitar, walks with his peers in the yard, and he also accomplished a real feat - he saved a little girl from a fire. It happened in the village of Sukhonogovo, where Sergei was visiting relatives. There was a fire in his aunt's house. Hearing screams from the street, the boy saw part of the house on fire. Without a moment's hesitation, he rushed to help. The owner and her little daughter were able to get out of the house by breaking a window, but her second daughter remained in the burning room.

Sergei rushed into the burning room after the frightened baby. In the kitchen, the linoleum and the legs of the stool on which the girl was standing were already burning. The fire engulfed the ceiling. Another minute or two and something irreparable could have happened. But Sergei found the child and managed to take her out into the street, and then, handing her over to reliable hands, he took part in putting out the fire.

They were able to put out the fire on their own. The modest guy took his action for granted and didn’t talk much about it. And he didn’t even expect that his feat would become known at school. The All-Russian Voluntary Firefighting Society awarded Sergei the medal “For valor and courage in a fire.” Seryozha came to the award ceremony with his mother, behaved very modestly and seemed even a little embarrassed by the attention shown to him. And when asked how he was not afraid to step into a burning house in order to save a child’s life, he answered that he simply could not do otherwise.

Fourth grade student Trofim Zhendrinsky awarded the medal of the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations “For courage in a fire.” Trofim pulled two guys out of the fire. This story happened last spring in the small village of Balagany, Verkhnevilyuysky district. On March 12, 2012, a residential building caught fire in the evening.
The fire occurred on the veranda of one of the apartments where the Zhendrinsky family lived. The parents were not at home at the time of the fire. Spouses Oktyabrina Trofimovna and Ivan Ivanovich are technical workers in local school, at that moment they were at work.
At home were Trofim and two younger children whom he was looking after - a brother and sister. Seeing the flames walking along the veranda, the boy was not taken aback and carried his brother and sister out of the burning building. However, this was not easy to do: the frightened children huddled under the bed and did not want to leave their shelter.
Trofim was the first to carry his brother out of the smoke-filled apartment. Leaving him in the snow, he again ran into the house for his sister. He dragged his resisting sister out of the apartment by force. And then the adult neighbors arrived and began to put out the flames.
The fire was reported to the local fire department in the neighboring village of Khomustakh. Firefighters arrived at the scene and extinguished the fire.
“Trofim is no different from his peers. Calm, friendly boy with a sense of responsibility. Very sociable, cheerful.
Despite such a young age, Trofim Ivanovich Zhendrinsky showed strong personal qualities: dedication, courage, boldness and the ability to act clearly and competently in a difficult and dangerous environment. Trofim acted correctly, did not succumb to fear and panic, and showed courage worthy of an adult. Thanks to courageous, decisive and competent actions, the children remained unharmed,” noted employees of the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations.

The fire occurred in the early morning of November 9, 2012 in a private house in the small village of Bachi-Yurt. Five children, a mother and grandmother were sleeping in the house. A strong crack and noise from the fire woke up the residents, the press service of the Chechen Ministry of Emergency Situations reported.

The boy put the baby at a safe distance and ran to his closest relatives to call for help.

Firefighters who arrived at the scene soon extinguished the raging fire. Fortunately, no one died. Five family members received various burns. They were sent by the Ministry of Emergency Situations for treatment to a Moscow hospital.
