Vadim Nasipov was awarded the medal "For saving the dead"

20-year-old student of the Ural State Pedagogical University Vadim Nasipov came to the aid of a baby who was in a wheelchair on the tracks at the Uralmash metro station. The child, in a fit of jealousy for her husband, was pushed onto the rails by his own mother.

The future life safety teacher, having descended into the subway, saw a terrible thing: a stroller with a loudly crying baby was lying right on the tracks, and a beam of light was already visible in the tunnel and the sound of an approaching train was heard. Without thinking about whether the contact rails are de-energized or not, Vadim jumped down and saved the child.

MAGOMED SABIGULAEV, rescue of a drowning man

11 years old, Kedi village, Tsumadinsky district, Republic of Dagestan
On a clear June day, two little friends - Adam Ziyavdinov and Saipudin Isaev (both 4 years old) played near the lake in the village of Kedi. Adam got too close to the shore, slipped and fell into a lake 2 meters deep. Saipudin, who remained on the shore, did not lose his head and ran to seek help.

Boris Bushkov. Rescue of a drowning man

Toward evening, Boris rode his bicycle to the Velikaya River for fishing. Suddenly he heard cries for help and increased his speed. In a matter of minutes, he drove up to the river and saw that two boys were drowning. One floundered in the middle of the river, while the other was carried away by the current. Without a moment's hesitation, Boris quickly took off his clothes and rushed to help.

According to Ivan Podoprikhin, Deputy Head of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia in Moscow, the guy was lucky to be in the right place at the right time, where he not only did not get confused, took a risk, and thereby was able to save a person's life.

As Artyom himself recalled, that day he was returning home when he noticed smoke coming out of the building, and a lot of onlookers gathered nearby, filming what was happening on camera and waiting for further development. He did not lose his head and, entering the building, found a girl on the eighth floor who called for help, knocking out the door, he took her out of the house in which the fire started.

On Saturday afternoon, putting off preparations for the first session, they walked through the center of the city to meet with friends and, a few dozen meters away, saw how a young man, knocking a man to the ground, began to beat him. The guys overtook the criminal only in the next block, twisted his hands and led him to the victim, not succumbing to persuasion to let him go. After some time, a police squad arrived at the scene. The detained 27-year-old man was charged under the article of attempted robbery, he is now under investigation.

On the way to go fishing, Pavel Kulikov, a 9-year-old resident of the village of Chastye, slipped on the frozen boards of the bridge and fell into the icy water of the bay. Icy water in an instant filled rubber boots and made clothes a deadly burden for a 9-year-old child. His friend Nikita Terekhin not taken aback and rushed to the aid of a friend.

The boy hung on a high bridge so that Pavel could grab onto his leg and climb out of the cold water. On land, the young rescuer picked up the injured friend and took him home. Thanks to the brave act of the boy, 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 native school. The head of the Chastinsky district awarded Nikita with a mobile phone and a letter of thanks.

Documents for the awarding of the 13-year-old Olesya Pushmina. In the summer, a schoolgirl from the 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 ended up 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 to swim out with all his strength. Without hesitation, Olesya rushed to save the boy. He says that there was one thought in his head: not to let the child go under water. Grabbing Nikita from behind with one hand, the other rowed to the shore. 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 with friends who came to the rescue tried to save the man. I had to dive several times.

The Department of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia for 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 on a business trip. Stanislav and his younger sister Irina were looked after by their aunt and her husband.

The boy was the first to wake up from the crackle 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 of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), the medal of the President of Russia "For the salvation of the perished" will be awarded to a student of the 10th grade of the Kundyadinskaya secondary school of the Nyurbinsky district Mikhailov Aisen Semenovich.

In July 2009, Aisen Mikhailov twice rescued drowning children. In the first case, on July 12, he pulled a six-year-old child out of 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 sink. Aisen, who was not far away, immediately rushed to help and pulled the boy ashore.

The second incident happened two weeks later. On this day, many children and adults rested on the Vilyui River. The group of girls was about fifty meters from the main group of bathers. Suddenly, one of them, an 8th grade student, started to sink.

Aisen heard the screams of the girls, already leaving the beach, and without a second's hesitation, he rushed to help. And he pulled a girl who managed to choke on the river water to the shore. Before the arrival of adults, the boy managed to provide first aid to the victim, brought her to her senses. If not for the presence of Aisen at that tragic moment, something irreparable could have happened.

On September 1, 2009, at the celebration of the Day of Knowledge for heroic deeds, Aisen Mikhailov was awarded the Diploma of the Center for State Inspection for Small Vessels of the Directorate of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia).

Summer vacation 13-year-old resident of St. 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. With them, he disappeared for days on end - together they went fishing, swam, walked. On that day, August 2, closer to dinner, as soon as the water warmed up a little, the friends went to the river. However, in their usual place it seemed a little cold to them, so they decided to wade to the other side and continue their rest there. Putting 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, grabbed rubber slippers from his hands and let them go downstream. Dima immediately rushed into the water after them. Having swum 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 with 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 up, I felt that I myself could drown now,” Andrei recalls. - I tell him: "Calm down, roll over on your stomach, swim forward, I will push you." Dima obeyed, and so we got to the shore. While we were sailing, I saw that Maxim was still holding on to 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 became witnesses of the tragedy. However, none of them came to the aid of the brothers. They silently continued to fish and did not even come up when Andrei pushed the frightened Dima ashore 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 overcame the fear of parental anger, he told them everything. Maxim's body was found only two days later. Andrei, meanwhile, says that if Maxim was still on the surface when he pulled his brother ashore, then he would no doubt have returned for him. Even in spite of the fact that he was already almost without strength.

An 11-year-old boy, Anton Chusov, with his heroic deed, cut off all disputes about whether such a subject as “Fundamentals of Life Safety” is needed at school. In the face of the impending tragedy, he remembered what the teacher explained, and is now awarded the medal "For saving the lost."
On September 27, 2007, the Governor of the Vladimir Region, Nikolai Vinogradov, in the building of the regional administration, solemnly presented Anton Chusov with the medal "For Saving the Perishing": an 11-year-old schoolboy saved two drowning girls last summer, and the President of the Russian Federation signed a Decree on awarding the young hero with a government award.
Last July, Anton, a student from Gus-Khrustalny, swam in one of the ponds not far from the district center. Close to Anton, two girls swam on car cameras. One of them fell into the water and began to sink. 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 the correspondent from the newspaper.
8-year-old Kristina was also in the water, whom Anton helped to climb onto the car camera. Meanwhile, the grandmother was already pumping out the rescued Tanya.
Tanya swallowed a lot of water, she was shaking and shivering. Christina escaped with a fright. The boy and his grandmother brought the girls to their senses and brought them home. For a long time no one knew what had happened. In autumn Anton went to school. As before, he studied for fours and threes, as before, he was more friends with girls than with boys, as before, he rushed about at breaks and flew along the railing ... Suddenly, a local newspaper wrote about the boy's feat.
- My mother taught me to swim, I already swim breaststroke quite well. And I'm not a hero, I'm not even the best swimmer in the class, - the modest Anton seemed to justify himself when correspondents of newspapers and television began to interview him. However, the little hero showed not only courage, but the professionalism of a real rescuer.
- In our class they showed a film on how to save drowning people, - explains Anton. - And I acted as taught in the film: I did not pull the girl by the hair, but dived and pushed her out of the water.
- I myself was surprised that Anton was not at all afraid 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 frightened when Anton began to dive for the girl: what if he drowned himself!
Anton reassures his grandmother: well, he's alive! And besides, at the OBZh lesson it is clearly said: if a person drowns, he must be saved.

The first day of the school year for students of school No. 4 of the South-Western district of the capital began in a special way. Many TV cameras, journalists, representatives of the prefecture and the Ministry of Emergency Situations came to congratulate all the guys and personally the 9-year-old Valentina Tsurikova, because now he is not just a schoolboy, but a real hero. In the 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, there is Maxim, he is already under water for about 5 minutes. I dived next to him, I pull him up - he does not move at all. When he pulled it out to the surface, put his head on the side, then the shift director ran up, started pumping him out, then the doctor ran in, also started pumping out, then they called an ambulance, they 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 did not lose his head and at such a moment he was able to orient himself and made the only right decision to help the person,” Valya's parents told the correspondents of the Ministry of Emergencies of Media.

Viktor Shepelev, head of the department for the Southwestern Administrative District of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia for Moscow, presented the young hero with the medal of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia "For Distinction in Eliminating the Consequences of an Emergency" 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. During the May holidays, Vladislav helped neighbors who were in danger of suffocating in their own apartment.
Marina Mikhailovna still cannot calmly recall the events of that day. And he doesn't want to. The fact that there was a fire, blames only himself. Here is her neighbor Vladislav Prikhodko, on the contrary, that day I remembered everything that was taught in the lessons of life safety.
Opening the door, Vlad saw the neighbor's children screaming that their apartment was on fire. Not at a loss, the 14-year-old boy took the guys outside and returned for their grandmother. But even after that, Vlad did not rush to save himself. After waiting for the firefighters, he showed them the apartment and the room that were on fire. Later it turns out: the fire started because the 3-year-old neighbor decided to set fire to the sofa.

Vlad Morozov, a first-grader of school No. 4 in the city of Navashino, became a real hero. On September 1, employees of the Ministry of Emergency Situations came to the school line. For courage, the seven-year-old firefighter received a letter from the fire department and mittens-gaiters - as a keepsake. The regional department of education 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 firefighter. I will save people from the fire."

But the very day when Vlad had to show courage, the boy does not like to remember. Vlad spent his regular holidays with his grandmother. On a July night, ball lightning flew into the rural house of his grandmother Lidia Ivanovna. The fireball was first seen by Lydia Ivanovna's brother Alexander. The pensioner slept in a separate room. Lightning hit the Russian furnace, and then an explosion, Alexander was thrown to the door. Somehow he crawled out into the street: Alexander Ivanovich walked very badly - an invalid since childhood. This explosion was heard by little Vlad.

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

Lydia Ivanovna has long since lost her sight. “I tried to get out by myself, then I ran into a burning table, went along the wall - and then it burns. Thought it was gone. And then a voice in the smoke: Granny, give me your hand, I'll take you out. And so we went, ”recalls the pensioner.

Melted plastic dripped from the ceiling - right on Vladik's back. But he didn't cry!

“They put me on a bench and said:“ Granny, your dress is on fire at the back. 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. As if some kind of force led the granddaughter out of the fire to a safe distance. Guardian angel, maybe?”, - added Lydia Ivanovna

May 20, 2011 Denis Davydov rescued a drowning first-grader. Children played in the village of Kosh-Akach 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, with 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 water 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, that I needed help.” The rescued boy, frozen and frightened, Denis brought to his home. 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 solemn awarding of Denis Davydov took place in the assembly hall of the district administration. For a selfless, heroic deed, the boy was presented with a gift, a medal and a certificate from the head of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia for the Republic of Altai, Colonel I.A. Bukin. Denis does not consider himself a hero: “Well, what a hero I am, I just helped a person in trouble. Anyone else in my place did the same." But for peers, parents and teachers, he is an example to follow, they look up to him, they are proud of him.

Returning home on December 18, 2004, Zhenya Pozdnyakov distinctly heard a child crying. Through the windows of Mironov's apartment, from where children's screams and knocks could be heard, there was no way to see something - as if a dense fog had enveloped everything. And then Zhenya distinctly 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. With one movement, he tore off the padlock and immediately almost threw two boys out into the street. But he knew that the Mironovs had four children - Zhenya was a classmate of the mother of a large family. The fire was literally gaining strength before our eyes, and Zhenya no longer had time to think. Clenching his teeth to avoid the scalding smoke, he darted into the room - another kid saved. To find the fourth, the smallest of the Mironovs, Zhenya needed a breath of fresh air. He felt the frost fill every cell of his body with lightning speed. I wanted to stand and stand under the December sky ringing with blueness, throwing my head high. And breathe, breathe deeply ... But somewhere in the smoke and fire, the two-year-old Deniska remained. Both the second and third attempts to find the boy ended unsuccessfully. Having stepped a third time beyond the threshold of the flaming room, Zhenya decided that I would not go out without a boy. And as if someone whispered in his ear at that moment - look under the crib. Deniska huddled under her in a corner and did not even move.
Only then did one of the neighbors call the fire department. Zhenya Pozdnyakov - for the courage and heroism shown in rescuing four young children, will certainly be presented with a government award. A request for this was sent to the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia 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 quite an ordinary day. Fifth grader awarded at school meetings Daniil Musakhanov from school 68 in Belorechensk, second grade student Nikita Sviridov and first grader Eduard Timofeev from 31 schools in the village of Rodniki.

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

“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 caught fire in front of the house, and at any moment the fire could spread to residential buildings.

The guys extinguished the fire on their own and only then reported to the fire brigade. The fire brigade highly appreciated the deed of the guys.

November 2005 Slava Vildanov, then a 5th grade student living in the village of Ragnuksa saved four-year-old Dima Tomashevich drowning in the river. 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 bravery and courage in rescuing his friend on the water, by the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation, Slava was awarded the medal "For Saving the Perishing".

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 champion of the region twice and took the “bronze”, fighting with adult athletes. Every weekday, he trains for three hours at the Luch sports club at the Elektropribor plant. Liza is an ordinary girl, but even an adult can learn from her courage and courage. Lisa was awarded the medal "For saving the dead."

Brother Sasha was walking along the pond and accidentally came across a hole with fragile ice. The neighbor cut a hole in which he swam the day before. The ice-hole was seized by the first ice, which was covered with snow. So the danger zone on the ice did not betray itself. Sasha stepped on her! The ice burst, the boy immediately fell into the water. He started screaming and calling for help, but a nearby snow machine muffled his screams. The neighbor who was cleaning the ice did not hear or see anything. By some miracle, the sister of the drowning Sasha, Lisa, heard the alarming cries and did everything quickly and accurately. She did not run to the house for her relatives, but rushed to the hole. Only his brother's head and arms protruded from it. The girl, grabbing his hands tightly, pulled him onto the hard ice.

For 14-year-old Dima Shapkin, school life safety lessons were not in vain. How to do artificial respiration, the first resuscitation, 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 the weekend at their grandmother's dacha. Tamara Alexandrovna was engaged in the garden, Dima - household chores, the kids played in the yard. Like all children, Vanya and Dima quickly got bored with playing at home, and they went outside.

Grandmother, Tyoma drowned, - a frightened Vanya flew into the yard.

It turned out that the tomboys went to the handle. Little Artyom went down to the shore to touch the water, and slipping on wet stones fell into the icy water. The fast current swirled the boy.

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

“He was blue and was no longer breathing. I remembered how the teacher told us at the OBZH lesson about rescuing drowning people. How we trained on the doll. I turned him over, pressed on his chest and stomach, did artificial respiration. Water poured out of Tyoma, then he coughed and breathed,” Dima recalls that day.

After rescuers were already called, little Artyom was admitted to the hospital with bilateral pneumonia - due to the fact that water got into his lungs.

“The kid was saved by the fact that resuscitation measures were very competently provided to him. And most importantly, in time - after all, 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 courageous and decisive actions in rescuing people in extreme conditions with the medal "For Saving the Perishing". But Dima himself does not consider himself a hero.

What could have done differently? Dmitry is surprised.

On January 20, in the village of Kirovskoye, Kamyzyaksky District, Astrakhan Region, seven-year-old Katya Michurova saved her classmate Amir Nurgaliyev, who fell into an ice-hole on Erik Dulinsky. Katya and Amir skated on the 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 could not tear it off. Then I grabbed Amir by the sleeve of my 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.

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

But the words of little Amir's mother were the most heartfelt: “This little girl, who has such a big heart, saved our family from irreparable grief. It's even scary to think how it could end. I am very grateful to her for saving my son's life. May the forces of good always protect her and save her 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 Perfilieva risking her own life to save a little boy who was drowning in a river. Moreover, neither classmates nor teachers knew about this incident. Ksyusha says that she didn’t do anything special, and everyone in her place would have done the same.
This girl did not stand out among her peers before, but now in 6 "A" everyone knows that Ksyusha Perfileva accomplished a real feat. She herself did not even tell her friends about how she saved the neighbor's boy, classmates found out about this at the school line when Ksyusha was awarded a letter 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 to swim in the river, where two boys were splashing. 6-year-old Zakhar now can’t even really explain how he got into a deep pool, because he doesn’t know how to swim.
Zakhar Smirnov: "I was standing on a rock, I slipped and fell. And I started to sink..."
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 "black pool". The depth here is several meters. Seeing that a neighbor boy was helplessly floundering in the middle of the river, Ksenia Perfilieva, 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 did not breathe.
Ksenia Perfilyeva: “When I pulled him out, he didn’t breathe. At the lessons of life safety, they told us, I remembered that you need to press on your chest. If he breathes, then everything is fine. If not, then you need to do artificial respiration.”
Ksyusha did a heart 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 was only away from home for a couple of hours - she went to the store for 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, in the district administration of Xenia they presented a small award. At school, in the lessons of life safety, she is now given as an example, explaining how to properly provide first aid to drowning people.
The sixth-grader assures that everyone in her place would have done the same. And making plans for the future. This year, in an essay on the topic "Choice of Profession", Ksenia wrote that after school she would definitely try to get a job in the rescue service.

The girls, among whom was 11-year-old Nadya Tarasova, did not know how to swim, so they took pieces of polystyrene with them. At some point, the foam slipped out of Nadia's hands, and she began to sink. Valeria Maksimova, who was nearby, on the shore, was not at a loss, quickly assessed the situation and began to loudly call for help. The first to come to the rescue was a 12-year-old Sasha Alexandrov who managed to pull the sinking to the shore. At a safe depth joined him Valeria Maksimova, and together they pulled Nadya to the shore. From the other side, the call for help was answered by Maxim Zotimov, who swam across a pond 35 meters wide and joined the guys. Already together, the children, without wasting a second, provided first aid to the injured girl. Three brave teenagers managed to bring Nadia to her senses and restore her breath.

You don't have to be mature and sophisticated to save lives. The main thing is to have a clear mind, courage and a good heart. The main prize in the special nomination 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. Central, d. 3. The dispatcher sent guards on duty from four fire departments to the place of the call.

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

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

As Masha said after the tragedy, her mother told her: “Run to Angela. I am now." Girl - well done! Another would be: where am I without my mother ... But Masha - no. She took her little brother in her arms and climbed out the window. Frost minus fifteen, she ran into the entrance with Dima in her arms, she wanted to take a stroller to put Dima 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 Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia "For Courage in a Fire".

Nastya Erokhin, a student of the 1st grade of school No. 27 in Tomsk, is now called by her classmates nothing more than a “rescuer”. A seven-year-old girl pulled her little sister out of the fire and was able to get out of the burning house herself.
Fire in a single-family log house on the street. 5th Army happened on the afternoon of January 11th. Nastya Erokhina and her five-year-old sister Lena were alone at home - the girls' mother was away from the apartment for a short while. When Nastya realized that the house was on fire, it was no longer possible to leave through the door - the veranda of the house was on fire.
But Nastya was not taken aback and closed the door behind her. Nevertheless, acrid smoke began to quickly fill the house. Attempts to get out through the windows were initially unsuccessful. In the smoke, with difficulty, only the window in the children's room was half opened - the sofa that propped it up interfered. The hardest thing was with Lena - the younger sister panicked a lot, got tangled in the curtains and resisted in every possible way. Finally, pushing her sister, Nastya herself was able to squeeze through the narrow opening. Jumping out into the street without clothes, the girls ran to the store where their grandmother works.
The soldiers of the 10th fire brigade who arrived at the scene were quickly able to cope with the fire, preventing it from spreading. As a result of the fire, only the veranda burned out and the apartment became sooty.
This act could not go unnoticed by the Tomsk firefighters. On January 27, at the school where Nastya studies, from the early morning there was an extraordinary revival. The call from the second lesson was given 10 minutes earlier. Everyone was asked to go to the gym. On the general line in front of the teachers and students of the school, the rescuers awarded Nastya with a diploma and a soft toy. In the hands of Nastya, a letter: "For skillful and decisive actions, courage and self-control, shown in an emergency when saving people in a fire." Mom and grandmother Nastya did not hide their tears on the line. Finally, having recovered a little, Valentina Erokhina, Nastya's grandmother, admits that girls have always been taught how to behave in such a situation, which is why, she believes, Nastya was not at a loss.

Ershova Alexandra Evgenievna, or simply Sasha Ershova - a heroic Tver girl, a student of the 35th school, accomplished a feat during a terrible disaster in the Transvaal water park on February 14, 2004.

Sasha with her mother Lyuba and father Zhenya live in Tver. On my father's birthday, we decided to take a ride to Moscow. Where to go in the capital? Dad decided to show the child a real huge water park! Sasha has been swimming since early childhood, she feels like a fish in the water.

…….When the vaults of the water park collapsed, Sasha, squeezed between concrete blocks, for a long time held a three-year-old girl, Masha, who was completely unfamiliar to her, above the water.

Suddenly, something cracked overhead and a huge beam fell next to me, - says Sasha. - I dived and saw that a little girl was going under the water next to me. I realized that she could not swim, and grabbed her under the chest. Together with her, I emerged, began to console her.

The girls did not have time to jump out of the pool. Directly over their heads, like a house of cards, heavy slabs were formed. Sasha's head was sticking 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 the second-grader Sasha that she had held little Masha in her arms for only thirty minutes. In fact, she had to wait a good hour and a half for rescuers. All this time she held the girl in her arms, not feeling that her left arm was broken.

Sergei Prytkov, like other guys, 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 the 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 a blazing part of the house. Without a moment's hesitation, he rushed to help. The hostess with her little daughter was able to get out of the house by breaking the window, but her second daughter remained in the burning room.

Sergei rushed into the burning room for a 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 the irreparable could happen. But Sergey found the child and managed to take it out into the street, and then, having transferred it into reliable hands, took part in extinguishing the fire.

They were able to extinguish the fire on their own. The modest guy took his act for granted, and did not talk much about it. And he did not even expect that his feat would become known at school. The All-Russian Volunteer Fire Society awarded Sergey with the medal "For Valor and Courage in a Fire". Seryozha came to the award ceremony with his mother, kept himself very modest and seemed to be even a little embarrassed by the attention paid 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 replied that he simply could not do otherwise.

fourth grade student Trofim Zhendrinsky He was awarded the medal of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia "For Courage in a Fire". Trofim pulled two guys out of the fire. This story happened in the spring of last year in the small village of Balagany, Verkhnevilyui district. On March 12, 2012, a residential building caught fire in the evening.
The fire broke out 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 at a local school, at that moment they were at work.
At home were Trofim and two younger children, whom he looked after - a brother and sister. Seeing the flame walking along the veranda, the boy was not at a loss, and brought his brother and sister out of the burning building. However, it was not easy to do this: the frightened children hid under the bed, and did not want to leave their shelter in any way.
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 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, courage and the ability to act clearly and competently in a difficult and dangerous environment. Trofim acted correctly, did not succumb to fear and panic, showed courage worthy of an adult. Thanks to courageous, resolute and competent actions, the children remained unharmed, ”employees of the Russian Emergencies Ministry say.

In Chechnya, a little boy committed a truly heroic deed. A child saved his little brother from a burning house. The fire occurred in the early morning of November 9, 2012 in a private house in the small village of Bachi-Yurt. Five children, mother and grandmother slept in the house. A strong crackling and noise from the fire woke up the residents, the press service of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Chechnya reported.

The rooms were already engulfed in flames, cutting off the way out of the house. The eldest son in the family, seven-year-old Khamzat Yakubov, did not lose his head. He bravely grabbed the smallest and helpless child and, breaking the glass, climbed through the window. The boy put the baby at a safe distance and ran to the next of kin to call for help.

Soon after, firefighters arrived at the scene and extinguished the raging fire. Fortunately, no one died. Five family members received various burns. On board the Ministry of Emergency Situations, they were sent for treatment to a Moscow hospital.

The Main Directorate of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia for the Chechen Republic is preparing a submission for awarding Khamzat with the medal "For Courage in a Fire".

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

Skydiving instructors sacrificed everything to save their students

Few people will survive a fall from several hundred meters. But two women made it through the dedication of two men. The first gave his life to save the man 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 straps together. As the plane crashed to the ground, Cooke's body took the brunt, killing the man and leaving Kimberly alive.

Another skydiving instructor, Dave Hartstock, also saved his student from being hit. It was Shirley Dygert's first jump and she jumped with an instructor. Digert'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 very neck, but both survived.

A mere mortal Joe Rollino (Joe Rollino, pictured above) during his 104-year life has done incredible, inhuman things. Although he weighed only about 68 kg, in his prime he could lift 288 kg with his fingers and 1450 kg with his back, for which he won various competitions several times. However, it was not the title of "The Strongest Man in the World" that made him a hero.

During World War II, Rollino served in the Pacific and received a bronze and silver star for gallantry in the line of duty, as well as three purple hearts for battle wounds, for which he spent a total of 2 years in the hospital. He took 4 of his comrades from the battlefield, two in each hand, while also returning to the heat of battle for the rest.

A father's love can inspire superhuman feats, as two fathers in different parts of the world have proven.

In Florida, Joesph Welch came to the rescue of his six-year-old son when an alligator grabbed the boy's arm. Forgetting his own safety, Welch hit the alligator in an attempt to force it to open its mouth. Then a passer-by arrived and began to beat the alligator in the stomach until the beast 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 started poking the cane into the animal's eyes and mouth until his son ran away. Then the crocodile took aim at the man. Tafadzwa had to gouge out the animal's eyes. As a result of the attack, the boy lost his leg, but he will be able to tell about the superhuman courage of his father.

Two ordinary women lifted cars to save loved ones

Not only men are capable of displaying 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, a 22-year-old saved her father when a jack slipped from under the BMW he was working under and the car fell on the man's chest. There was no time to wait for help, the young woman lifted the car and moved it, then gave her father CPR.

In Georgia, the jack also slipped and a 1,350-kilogram Chevrolet Impala fell on a young man. Alone, his mother Angela Cavallo lifted the car and held it for five minutes until her son was pulled out by neighbors.

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

In New Mexico, a school bus driver suffered a seizure, putting children in danger. The girl waiting for the bus noticed that something had happened to the driver and called her mother. The woman, Rhonda Carlsen, took immediate action. She ran next to the bus and gestured to 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 students were hurt, not to mention the people passing by.

A truck with a trailer was driving along the edge of a cliff in the dead of night. The cab of a large truck stopped right above the cliff, the driver was in it. 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 Wayoka Gorge on October 5, 2008. The hero was 18-year-old Peter Hanne, who was at home when he heard the roar. Without thinking about his own safety, he climbed onto the balancing car, jumped into a narrow gap between the cab and the trailer, and broke the rear window. He carefully helped the injured driver out while the truck staggered under his feet.

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

The war is full of heroes who risk their lives to save fellow soldiers. In the movie Forrest Gump, we saw how a fictional character saved several of his co-workers, even after he was wounded. In real life, you can meet the plot and abruptly.

Here, for example, is the story of Robert Ingram, who received the Medal of Honor. In 1966, during the siege by the enemy, Ingram continued to fight and save his comrades even after he was wounded three times: in the head (as a result, he partially lost his sight and became deaf in one ear), in the arm and in the left knee. Despite being wounded, he continued to kill the North Vietnamese soldiers who attacked his unit.

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

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

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

A man lifted a helicopter to save his colleague

The TV show site was turned into a tragedy when a helicopter from the hit series Magnum P.I. crashed into a drainage ditch in 1988.

During landing, the helicopter suddenly banked, went out of control and fell to the ground, while everything was filmed. One of the pilots Steve Kaks (Steve Kux) was trapped under a helicopter in shallow water. And then Warren "Tiny" Everal (Warren "Tiny" Everal) ran up and lifted the helicopter from Cax. It was a Hughes 500D which weighs at least 703kg empty. Everal's quick reaction and his superhuman strength saved Cax from a helicopter pinning him in the water. Despite the fact that the pilot injured his left hand, he escaped death thanks to a local Hawaiian hero.

Eleven-year-old Yakut woman Kharyskhaana Ammosova was awarded 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.

The 10-year-old girl who saved her younger siblings from a fire. A 16-year-old boy who put his back under the knife blows of a criminal to protect a friend. Four 13-year-olds who held a dangerous recidivist. A 12-year-old boy who caught a one-year-old girl who fell out of a window. A 17-year-old athlete who pulled out the wounded after the terrorist attack in the St. Petersburg metro.

These are real feats performed by our compatriots, many of whom have not yet reached the age of majority. "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 Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Russian Union of Rescuers.

At the same time, not everyone came to Bolshaya Dmitrovka, where the awards ceremony was held. “We have many children and teenagers in our country who deserve 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 Valentina Matvienko, chairman of the Federation Council. And she expressed sincere gratitude to teachers and parents for raising such worthy citizens of our country.

The Pravoslavie.fm portal is like a bee that laboriously collects for itself and for its beekeeper readers the nectar of good news and Christian wisdom.

About what the world is dangerous and what things to beware of, you will learn from many sources. We will try to tell you about the sacrificial love of some people in relation to others, presenting below a few cases of heroism from the life of Russians:

1. Students of the Iskitim branch of the Novosibirsk Assembly College - 17-year-old Nikita Miller and 20-year-old Vlad Volkov managed to immobilize an armed raider who was trying to rob a grocery kiosk and hold him until the police arrived.

“We didn’t have any visitors, and we went into the back room for a couple of minutes to sort out the goods. Suddenly we hear - something iron hit the scales. We look out - and there is a man with a gun standing. I screamed, of course, immediately, pressed the panic button. And just then the guys came in. The raider got scared and tried to run away.

“I broke the side glass and opened the door. The car continued to burn, but there was no time to extinguish it - it was necessary to save a person. I pulled a man out of the driver’s seat, he didn’t understand what was happening - he inhaled carbon monoxide, ”said Ponomarev.

He himself spoke about it this way: “I was with a colleague. I told him to stand for insurance near the roof, and he ran to the entrance to the second floor. The door was opened by my mother, and I immediately ran to the window. He climbed through the window sill to the roof and approached the child with the words: “Hi, my friend, let's go to me!” After that, he abruptly grabbed him in his arms - he did not even cry. By that time, people had already gathered on the street, watching the baby. Mother, of course, was shocked. Imagine: from the roof to the ground about six meters.

“When the doorbell rang, I got scared: “God forbid, my husband forgot to close the door and my son went outside!” On the threshold stood a policeman who ran to the window. When I woke up, I didn't understand what had happened. And when she saw that her son was on the roof, she was speechless. She slept and didn't even hear him wake up. It turned out that he rolled his bike to the window, then climbed onto the windowsill and opened the window handle!”, – the mother of the baby shared with reporters.

The young mother is very grateful to the savior - a child's walk on the roof could turn into a tragedy.

10. On vacation after a shift, a firefighter from Bely Yar carried a woman and her baby out of the fire.

It seems to be a common everyday story for firefighters - to save people from burning houses. But Ivan Morozov had a day off that day - the guy and his friend worked the daily shift and went out at night to “ride around the village”.

From under the roof of one of the two-story houses, Vanya saw thick smoke coming out - and the first thing he dialed was 112, calling the fire brigade. But then the veranda broke out and Ivan rushed to the house so that help would definitely be in time. The fireman knocked down the door and immediately saw a woman on the floor.
“She sat, as if in oblivion, and covered herself from the smoke with her hand. The door had already caught fire by that time, so I evacuated it through the window. In the process, he asked if there was anyone else at home, and she said that her son was sleeping on the second floor, ”recalls the hero.

The fireman, as he was - in one T-shirt, without a protective suit, as it should be in such cases - rushed upstairs to look for the boy. He was sleeping, so Ivan easily took him in his arms, went down and handed him to his mother through the window.

The selection was made on the basis of materials from Komsomolskaya Pravda, the Heroes of Our Time portal, etc.

They say that there were too many tragic events in the outgoing year, and there is almost nothing good to remember on the eve of the New Year. Tsargrad decided to argue with this statement and collected a selection of our most prominent compatriots (and not only) and their heroic deeds. Unfortunately, many of them accomplished a feat at the cost of their own lives, but the memory of them and their deeds will support us for a long time and serve as an example to follow. Ten names that thundered in 2016 and should not be forgotten.

Alexander Prokhorenko

A special forces officer, 25-year-old Lieutenant Prokhorenko, died in March near Palmyra while conducting Russian air strikes against ISIS militants. He was discovered by terrorists and, being surrounded, did not want to give up and caused fire on himself. He was awarded the title of Hero of Russia posthumously, and a street in Orenburg was named after him. The feat of Prokhorenko caused admiration not only in Russia. Two French families donated awards, including the Legion of Honor.

In Orenburg, where the officer comes from, he left a young wife, who, after the death of Alexander, had to be hospitalized in order to save the life of their child. In August, her daughter Violetta was born.

Magomed Nurbagandov

A policeman from Dagestan, Magomet Nurbagandov, and his brother Abdurashid were killed in July, but the details became known only in September, when a video recording of the execution of police officers was found on the phone of one of the liquidated militants of the Izberbash criminal group. On that ill-fated day, the brothers and their schoolchildren rested in nature in tents, no one expected the attacks of bandits. Abdurashid was killed immediately because he stood up for one of the boys, whom the bandits began to insult. Mohammed was tortured before his death, because his documents of a law enforcement officer were found. The purpose of the bullying was to force Nurbagandov to renounce his colleagues on record, acknowledge the strength of the militants and call on the Dagestanis to leave the police. In response to this, Nurbagandov addressed his colleagues with the words "Work, brothers!" The enraged militants could only kill him. President Vladimir Putin met with the brothers' parents, thanked them for their son's courage and awarded him the title of Hero of Russia posthumously. The last phrase of Mahomet became the main slogan of the outgoing year and, one might assume, for years to come. Two small children were left without a father. Nurbagandov's son now says that he will only become a policeman.

Georgy Gladysh

On a February morning, the rector of an Orthodox church in Krivoy Rog, Priest George, as usual, was riding his bicycle home from the service. Suddenly, he heard cries for help from a nearby body of water. It turned out that the fisherman fell through the ice. Batiushka ran to the water, threw off his clothes and, signing himself with the sign of the cross, rushed to help. The noise attracted the attention of local residents, who called an ambulance and helped pull the already unconscious retired fisherman out of the water. The priest himself refused honors: " I didn't save. It was God who decided for me. If I had been driving a car instead of a bicycle, I simply would not have heard the cries for help. If I started to think whether to help me a person or not, I would not have time. If the people on the shore had not thrown a rope at us, we would have drowned together. And so everything happened by itself". After the feat, he went on to perform church services.

Valdai schoolgirl, despite the fact that she herself is only 12 years old, she was not afraid to enter a burning private house, hearing the screams of children. Julia took two boys out of the house, and already on the street they told her that one more of their little brothers was left inside. The girl returned to the house and carried a 7-year-old baby in her arms, who was crying and was afraid to go down the stairs shrouded in smoke. In the end, none of the children were hurt. " It seems to me that in my place, any teenager would do this, but not every adult, because adults are much more indifferent than children", - the girl believes. Caring residents of Staraya Russa collected money and gave the girl a computer and a souvenir - a mug with her photograph. The schoolgirl herself admits that she did not help for the sake of gifts and praise, but she, of course, was pleased, because she is from a poor family - Yulia's mother is a seller, and her father works at a factory.
