An unusual incident with a miraculous rescue occurred in the city of Lesnoy. A 26-year-old engineer named Vladimir Startsev saved a two-year-old girl who had fallen from a fourth-floor balcony.

“I was returning from the sports ground, where I was training with the children. I look, some kind of pandemonium, ”recalls Startsev. - People under the balcony were fussing, shouting something, waving their arms. I lift my head up, and there is a little girl from last strength grabs the outer edge of the balcony. Here, according to Vladimir, he turned on the climber's syndrome. Moreover, the athlete has been engaged in sambo and rock climbing for many years. The physical form allowed. He assessed the situation and intended to climb the wall to the fourth floor.
“Already prepared to jump to the balcony of the first floor, I raise my eyes, and the child flies down! I instantly regrouped and relaxed my muscles to catch her. This is how we were taught in training, - says Vladimir Startsev. “She landed right in my arms, she cried, of course, she got scared.”

It happened on August 15th. On that day, my sister and nephews and I came to the river to swim. Everything was good - heat, sun, water. Then my sister says to me: “Lyosha, look, the man drowned, out, swims by. The drowned man was carried away by a fast current, and I had to run about 350 meters until I caught up. And our river is mountainous, the cobblestones, while running, fell several times, but got up and continued to run, barely overtook.

The child turned out to be the victim. On the face all the signs of a drowned man - an unnaturally swollen stomach, a bluish-black body, veins swelled. I didn't even know if it was a boy or a girl. He pulled the child ashore, began to pour water out of him. The stomach, the lungs - everything was filled with water, the tongue kept sinking. I asked for a towel from the people standing next to me. No one filed, they disdained, they were frightened by the sight of the girl, they took pity on her for their beautiful towels. And I'm wearing nothing but swimming trunks. Because of the fast run, and while I was pulling her out of the water, I was exhausted, there was not enough air for artificial respiration.
About resuscitation
Thank God, my colleague, nurse Olga, was passing by, but she was on the other side. She started screaming for me to bring the baby to her on the shore. The child who swallowed water became incredibly heavy. The peasants responded to the request to carry the girl to the other side. There, Olga and I continued all resuscitation actions. They drained the water as best they could, did a heart massage, artificial respiration, for 15-20 minutes there was no reaction, neither from the girl, nor from nearby onlookers. I asked for an ambulance, no one called, and the ambulance station was nearby, 150 meters away. Olga and I couldn’t afford to be distracted even for a second, so we couldn’t even call. After some time, a boy was found, and he ran to call for help. In the meantime, we were all trying to revive a little girl, five years old. From despair, Olga even began to cry, it seemed that there was no hope anymore. Everyone around said, leave these useless attempts, you will break all her ribs, why are you mocking the dead. But then the girl sighed, the nurse who came running heard the sounds of a heartbeat.

A third-grader rescued three young children from a burning hut. For the heroism shown, 11-year-old Dima Filyushin was almost flogged at home.

... On the day when a fire broke out on the outskirts of the village, the twin brothers Andryusha and Vasya and five-year-old Nastya were alone at home. Mom left for work. Dima was returning from school when he noticed a flame in the neighbor's windows. The boy looked inside - the curtains were ablaze, and next to him, on the bed, three-year-old Vasya was sleeping. Of course, the student could call the rescue service, but without hesitation, he rushed to save the kids himself.

This tragedy occurred on Monday, January 20 in upstate New York. During a fire, an 8-year-old boy managed to save almost his entire family, but died himself, trying to help his uncle. The little hero's name was Tyler Doohan, on that tragic night he was staying with relatives who lived in a trailer (a classic American "mobile home" measuring about 27 meters long and up to 5.5 meters wide) on the outskirts of Penfield, New York. York).

According to rescuers, the fire broke out at 4:45 am, when all nine inhabitants of the trailer were asleep. When Tyler woke up, the fire was already raging. The boy sounded the alarm, pushed his six relatives aside, they managed to run out and remained alive. After that, the brave boy tried to get his uncle Stephen, who had a leg amputated and could not leave the house without support. Unfortunately, both of them died in the fire. Unable to escape and grandfather, Louis Beach.

Tyler himself did not live in this trailer. The day before, he asked his mother for permission to spend the night at his grandmother's house, because it was a vacation, and on Monday he did not have to go to school. He generally liked to visit this mobile home - it was always fun there, he played with his cousins(ages 4 and 6), and in the summer the adults often had barbecues and fireworks. According to firefighters, the cause of the fire was most likely a faulty electrical wiring.

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

Before the onset of spring, young people decided to last time to visit the Sursky reservoir, in the Penza region, and after that “tie up” until next year, since the ice is no longer as reliable as 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 get warm in the car, and at the same time warm up the engine.

Under the weight of motor vehicles, the ice could not stand it and broke through in the places where the holes were drilled, as after a perforator. People began to sink, the snowmobile hung on the edge of the ice by the ski, the whole structure threatened to break off completely, then people would have very little chance of salvation. Men clung with their last strength to the edge of the hole, but warm clothes instantly got wet and literally pulled to the bottom. In this situation, Marina did not think about the possible danger and rushed to the rescue.
Having seized her brother, the girl, however, could not help him in any way, since the balance of 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 town for help?
So while time passes, people can simply drown from hypothermia. Thinking like this, Marina intuitively ran to the car. Opening the trunk in search of an item that could help in the situation, the girl drew attention to the bag of bed linen, which she took from the laundry. - The first thing that came to mind was to twist the rope from the sheets, tie it to the car and try to pull them out. - Marina remembers
The pile of laundry was enough for almost 30 meters, it could have been longer, but the girl tied an impromptu cable with a double calculation.
- I've never braided so fast, - the rescuer laughs, - I twisted thirty meters in three minutes, this is a record. The remaining distance to the people, the girl ventured to drive on the ice.
- It is still very strong near the shore, I moved out onto the ice and quietly went backwards. The door opened just in case and drove off. The cable from the sheets turned out to be so strong that in the end, not only people, but also a snowmobile were taken out of the hole. After the rescue operation was completed, the men took off their clothes and climbed into the car.
- I don’t even have rights yet, I handed it over, but I’ll get it only in a month, when I turn 18 years old. While I was taking them home, I was worried, suddenly traffic cops would come across, and I would be without a license, although in theory they would have let me go, or helped to deliver everyone home.

little hero Buryatia - this is how 5-year-old Danila Zaitsev was christened in the republic. This kid saved his older sister Valya from death. When the girl fell into the hole, her brother held her for half an hour so that the current would not drag Valya under the ice.
When the boy's hands were cold and tired, he grabbed his sister by the hood with his teeth and did not let go until a neighbor, 15-year-old Ivan Zhamyanov, came to the rescue. The teenager was able to pull Valya out of the water and in his arms carried the exhausted and frozen girl to his home. There, the child was wrapped in a blanket and given hot tea to drink.

Having learned about this story, the leadership of the local school turned to the regional department of the Ministry of Emergency Situations with a request to reward both boys for their heroic deed.

Rinat Fardiev, a 35-year-old resident of Uralsk, was repairing his car when he suddenly heard a loud knock. Having run up to the scene, he saw a sinking car and without thinking twice jumped into the icy water and began to pull out the victims.
“At the scene of the accident, I saw a confused driver and passengers of the VAZ, who in the dark could not understand where the car they had crashed into had gone. Then I followed the tracks of the wheels down and found the Audi in the river upside down. I immediately entered the water and began to pull people out of the car. First I got the driver and passenger who was sitting in the front seat, and then two passengers from the back seat. They were already unconscious at that time. "
Unfortunately, one of the people rescued by Rinat did not survive - the 34-year-old Audi passenger died of hypothermia. Other victims were hospitalized and this moment already written out. Rinat himself works as a driver and does not see much heroism in his act at all. “The traffic cops told me at the scene of the accident that they would decide on my promotion. But from the very beginning I did not seek publicity and receive any awards, most importantly, I managed to save people,” he said.

And suddenly Vadim felt his hand caught on something - diving again, he found Misha. Grabbing him by the hair, the man pulled the boy ashore, where he gave him artificial respiration. A few minutes later, Misha regained consciousness. A little later, Ilya and Misha were taken to the Ozinsky Central Hospital.
“I always thought to myself that I don’t know how to swim, only to stay on the water a little,” Vadim admits, “But as soon as I heard the screams, I immediately forgot about everything, and there was no fear, there was only one thought in my head - I need help.
Rescuing the boys, Vadim hit the rebar lying in the water and injured his leg. He later received several stitches in the hospital.

At all times there have been people who are called heroes. Fairy tales, epics, real life stories about real characters and their actions, episodes of annals and military chronicles. In raising our children, we set this behavior as an example.

However, it is worrying that in modern world the concept of heroism is replicated, thanks to the same cinema, so much so that it can lose its power of influence. Watching countless action movies, in which heroes are a dime a dozen, is nothing but entertainment.

Famous examples of heroism in modern public life

Now let's try to understand the nature of self-sacrifice. Where does heroism come from? Who are the heroes of our time?

A person has a mind that always makes you want more than the satisfaction of physiological needs, he constantly needs to assert himself, feel his significance, significance: one builds a career, the other saves up for status things, the third learns to spit the farthest cherry pit.

The limit of human capabilities is unknown, someone will say, it is completely unlimited, but the average majority is guided by those around, comparing themselves with them, want to be no worse than the rest, and ideally better, richer, more beautiful, stronger, smarter (continue this list could be for a very long time).

Is heroism relevant today?

To do this, they take various actions and experience satisfaction in case of success, but often find themselves drawn into the race for dubious benefits. Man is fundamentally illogical.
And how does heroism fit into this system?

To neglect your everything (life) for the sake of others - not everyone is capable of this. The hero is undoubtedly a noble person, his nobility is a manifestation of his significance. Is it possible to cultivate this in yourself. The question, of course, is rather controversial, it is better if you do not have to check it.

It's definitely worth trying. In order for such a high deed to be accomplished, the hero must feel the importance of something to such an extent as to overpower the instinct of self-preservation. Something suddenly becomes more important than yourself. That is, a certain ground is needed, a basis for accomplishment, such an unprecedented situation that cannot be solved in any other way.

And then he is, for someone a hero, but for someone a madman. The inclusion of an action in the category of a feat is always conditioned by a subjective system of values. For example, the heroism of Pavlik Morozov, who betrayed his own father for the sake of a political regime later recognized as criminal, now looks at least doubtful.

A suicide bomber who blew himself up and another hundred civilians is considered a hero among his associates, and vice versa, a nonhuman among those against whom aggression is directed. Surely there were their own "great" heroes in the war of pointed-pointed people with blunt-pointed ones (they argued on which side to beat boiled eggs).

The qualities of a hero in the modern world

But in whatever system of values a particular action is considered, subjectively for the individual who performs it, it is the strongest, the maximum of all possible. And as mentioned above, human nature requires great deeds.

The notorious self-realization, which, in the case of self-sacrifice, has a hypertrophied look. And no matter how much the Soviet propaganda about mass heroism (under duress), the hero is an extraordinary person.

He can do what is beyond the power of the bulk, he is endowed with a set of innate qualities, on which the experienced personal experience definitely upbringing as well as a period life path who had to make his desperate decision.

Contemporary films about heroism

A book for heroes - Vladimir Tarasov (a selection of audio books)

Author's article by the artist under the nickname mariliya (Mariya Samokhvalova)

Class hour on the topic: Heroes of our time.

Goals : fostering a sense of patriotism, as well as a sense of pride and respect for one's people, a sense of mercy and compassion for one's neighbor.

Class time course:

1. Organizational moment.

2. The word of the class teacher:

Classroom teacher: Who are they? Heroes of Our Time. They live among us, and sometimes we do not even suspect what kind of people they are. They are modest, they do not talk about their exploits.

Define the word achievement?

(1. A feat is a heroic act of a person. Performing a feat, a person shows courage, selflessness. Sometimes love. 2. A feat is, to some extent, a willingness to sacrifice oneself for the sake of a loved one, homeland, and so on. when a person, sacrificing his life, saves others. consequences that can happen to you!)

Classroom teacher: A feat can be accomplished by a person who understands what conscience, honor and duty are. The greatest feat is to always remain true to your convictions, your dream, to be able to defend your convictions, to fight for this dream. There is a feat, like a flash, like a bright torch, but there is another feat, outwardly not flashy, everyday. And it lasts not seconds, minutes, but weeks, months, years. And it manifests itself in selfless labor, requiring from a person the highest tension of spiritual and physical strength, often associated with danger, risk. A feat is a measure of kindness, love, inner honesty in front of oneself and people.

IN different times the concept of a feat was different:

In the slave system, commanders who conquered other countries, conquered slaves, and enriched the ruling class were considered heroes.
In the era of feudalism, this is a brave knight who is fluent in weapons, cruel and valiant in battle, faithful to his allies and friends to the end.

The bourgeoisie creates its heroes - these are resolute seafaring merchants who cross the oceans and are proficient in weapons, hired captains, half pirates, half robbers, extracting new lands, new wealth for their masters.

It's hard to overestimate the heroism Soviet people marching in the forefront of humanity. This heroism is devoid of brilliance and manifests itself in everyday life. Feats were performed by our boys and girls, building new cities in remote Siberian uninhabited regions, and these feats consisted in everyday work on cutting down forests, building barracks ... Cold, interruptions in food, mean rest in uncomfortable barracks, where water dripped from the ceiling - all this casual and unsightly. Nevertheless, labor heroism was accomplished in these weekdays - people worked not under duress, but at the call of their hearts.

Many heroes of the Great Patriotic War we do not know, and even more remain unknown behind enemy lines! These people accomplished a feat in the war in the name of saving the lives of other people.

- Look at the children who are becoming heroes these days. (presentation)

But it did not succeed. Only an hour later, the boy's body was found at a depth of 2 meters. Unfortunately, he died before the ambulance arrived.

Shaken by the tragedy, the residents of the Shelkovsky district assured that they would never forget Viskhan's feat. The act of our fellow villager, who gave his own life to save another person, is without a doubt an example of true heroism.

- I hear someone screaming, she said to Nina: “I’ll come now,” Alina says about that day. - I see through the window that Polina Ivanovna is shouting: “Help!”. While Alina was saving a school teacher, her house, in which the girl lives with her grandmother and older brother, burned to the ground.
On April 12, in the same village of Kozhukhovo, Tatyana Fedorova, together with her 14-year-old son Denis, came to visit their grandmother. Holiday anyway. As soon as the whole family sat down at the table, a neighbor came running and, pointing to the mountain, called to put out the fire.
- We ran up to the fire, started to extinguish with rags, - says Rufina Shaimardanova, Denis Fedorov's aunt. - When most of them were extinguished, a very sharp, strong wind blew, and the fire went towards us. We ran to the village, ran into the nearest buildings to hide from the smoke. Then we hear - the fence is cracking, everything is on fire! I could not find the door, my thin brother darted through the crack, and then came back for me. And together we can't find a way out! Smokey, scary! And then Denis opened

door, grabbed my hand and pulled it out, then my brother. I have a panic, my brother has a panic. And Denis reassures: "Calm down Rufa." When we walked, nothing was visible at all, the lenses in my eyes melted from the high temperature ...
This is how a 14-year-old schoolboy saved two people. He not only helped to get out of the house on fire, but also brought him to a safe place.

"Heroes

our time »

Class teacher: Panyushkina Svetlana Vasilievna

If you think that a real hero is a muscular guy like Rambo, with a bunch of grenades on his belt and a heavy machine gun at the ready, cracking down on crowds of terrorists and criminals, we have to disappoint you: true courage and courage can be quiet and inconspicuous, but no less valuable .
Modest heroes cause not only respect, but also a certain amount of bewilderment - why don't they tell everyone about their exploits? Some of them have special reasons for this, such as obligations to the state, but most often, without exaggeration, the best people planets simply do not attach any importance to fame and fame - they have enough saved lives. Here you will find six examples of desperate courage and reckless courage and none of boasting and narcissism.

1The Cop Who Talked Dozens From Suicide

Kevin Briggs has been patrolling the San Francisco area for over 22 years, which includes the famous Golden Gate Bridge, one of the most beautiful structures in the world. Unfortunately, the bridge is popular not only among tourists, but also among the townspeople who decided to take their own lives: Kevin more than once had to save desperate lost souls who intended to go on their last flight or, for example, shoot themselves.

Someone calculated that, on average, every month, thanks to Briggs, it is possible to save two potential suicides, so for him this has long become part of his usual office routine. In two decades, a misfire happened only once: a 22-year-old young man did not heed Kevin's arguments and nevertheless committed suicide. Such performance would be the envy of many superheroes. For his outstanding service, his colleagues gave Briggs the ironic but undeniably honorary nickname of the Guardian of the Golden Gate.

2 British Diplomat Saved Thousands Of Jews During The Holocaust

Many people know the name of Oskar Schindler, a German industrialist who, during the years of persecution and extermination of Jews, provided shelter and work for many of them, thus saving about 1200 people from the gas chambers and furnaces of the "death camps". However, it will not be about him, but about Frank Foley, a British intelligence officer who gave life to nine thousand Jews.
He was probably one of the most invisible heroes World War II: A humble British embassy official in Berlin used his position to forge passports, allowing those fleeing Nazi rule to leave the country freely. Officer Foley even managed to pull concentration camp prisoners out of the clutches of the Gestapo, providing them with an alibi with the help of visas and travel documents.
His feat is practically unknown to the general public, since until his death in 1958, Frank preferred to keep his mouth shut: the information he possessed could cause significant harm to the diplomatic relations of European powers, primarily, of course, Germany and Great Britain. . In 2004, the government of the United Kingdom declassified some of the circumstances of Foley's activities, recognizing his services to the victims of the Holocaust.

3 Titanic mechanics sacrificed themselves so passengers could evacuate

The catastrophe of the “unsinkable” Titanic has become one of the largest in the history of navigation, and although more than a century has passed since the tragedy, films, books and other works of art are still dedicated to it.
According to eyewitness accounts, the sinking ocean liner looked like a huge, brightly lit city plunging into the abyss of waters, but few people think about why the Titanic actually had electricity almost until the last moment, because, logically, all the passengers and crew members tried to leave the ship as soon as possible.
The merit of maintaining the lighting entirely belongs to the mechanics and stokers of the ship: while the representatives of the high society, distraught with fear, rushed about in search of free boats, the hold workers selflessly remained in their places. Thanks to the courage of the crew, the light burned for 45 minutes, which saved more than one hundred lives.

4. British schoolgirl warned tourists about the tsunami

10-year-old Tilly Smith and her family vacationed in resorts in Thailand, sunbathing on the beaches and exploring the sights. One fine day, tourists noticed an unusual phenomenon: the sea first seemed to “boil”, and then it began to “swell” like yeast dough. Idle visitors to the beach watched the process with curiosity, not feeling any danger, but Tilly immediately realized what the “boiling” ocean threatened - shortly before that, in a geography lesson, they were told about signs of an approaching tsunami.
The girl immediately screamed her suspicions at the top of her voice, but her parents and other "sober" minded self-confident adults did not believe her and continued to enjoy the unique spectacle. Finally, Tilly's cries and screams had the desired effect - the Smiths decided to leave the beach, but before that they shared their daughter's assumptions with one of the beach employees, who immediately ordered the evacuation of vacationers.
More than 250 thousand people in 13 countries became victims of that huge wave, but no one was injured on the beach where Tilly was, because her family and almost a hundred other tourists were taken to a safe area.

5 Surgeon Performed 30,000 Operations In A War Zone

Doctors around the world save many lives every day, but some of them have achieved real mastery in the art of pulling out patients, as they say, "from the other world." Such wizards of anesthesia and the scalpel, of course, include the surgeon Gino Stradu, who specializes in heart and lung transplants.
Strada is the founder and chairman of the Italian organization "Emergency", but he is respected not only (and not so much) for this. Gino as a field surgeon visited the hottest places in the world - Afghanistan, Iraq, Sudan, Cambodia and some other countries. Strada provided free assistance to wounded military and civilians, over 25 years of practice, he personally performed about 30 thousand operations (an average of more than three operations per day), thanks to him 47 medical centers appeared in the combat areas, through which hundreds of thousands of people passed .
The brave medic often had to negotiate with radical terrorist organizations to be allowed to place his institutions as close to the front line as possible, and Gino tried to ensure that the centers were equipped with the latest technology. When Strada was asked if he would like to stop his charity work and return to his native Venice, Gino replied: "I'm probably a surgical animal - I like living in an operating room."

6. The head of the security service of one of the corporations foresaw the 9/11 attack.

Horrified by the number of victims of terrorist attacks on the Twin Towers, many forget that under certain circumstances there could have been many more: for example, if Rick Rescorla, head of security for the financial company Morgan Stanley (it occupied most of the South Tower) , was not so far-sighted.
Rick, an experienced military and Vietnam War veteran, took over the company's security department in the 1990s and immediately developed his own evacuation plan from the building, which, after the collapse of the Northern Twin, allowed more than 2,700 employees of the corporation to be evacuated from the second tower in a matter of minutes.
Thanks to Rick's downright genius foresight, only 13 people died under the rubble of the South Building. Unfortunately, he himself was among them: after the evacuation of most of the Rescorla employees, he returned to the tower in search of stragglers, and at that moment a second plane with suicide bombers at the helm crashed into it.

Every day in Russia, ordinary citizens perform feats who do not pass by when someone needs help. The country should know its heroes, so this collection is dedicated to brave, caring people who have proven by deed that heroism has a place in our lives.

1. An unusual incident with a miraculous rescue occurred in the city of Lesnoy. A 26-year-old engineer named Vladimir Startsev saved a two-year-old girl who had fallen from a fourth-floor balcony.

“I was returning from the sports ground, where I was training with the children. I look, some kind of pandemonium, ”recalls Startsev. - People under the balcony were fussing, shouting something, waving their arms. I raise my head up, and there a little girl, with the last of her strength, grabs the outer edge of the balcony. Here, according to Vladimir, he turned on the climber's syndrome. Moreover, the athlete has been engaged in sambo and rock climbing for many years. The physical form allowed. He assessed the situation and intended to climb the wall to the fourth floor.
“Already prepared to jump to the balcony of the first floor, I raise my eyes, and the child flies down! I instantly regrouped and relaxed my muscles to catch her. This is how we were taught in training, - says Vladimir Startsev. “She landed right in my arms, she cried, of course, she got scared.”

2. It happened on August 15th. On that day, my sister and nephews and I came to the river to swim. Everything was good - heat, sun, water. Then my sister says to me: “Lyosha, look, the man drowned, out, swims by. The drowned man was carried away by a fast current, and I had to run about 350 meters until I caught up. And our river is mountainous, the cobblestones, while running, fell several times, but got up and continued to run, barely overtook.

The child turned out to be the victim. On the face all the signs of a drowned man - an unnaturally swollen stomach, a bluish-black body, veins swelled. I didn't even know if it was a boy or a girl. He pulled the child ashore, began to pour water out of him. The stomach, the lungs - everything was filled with water, the tongue kept sinking. I asked for a towel from the people standing next to me. No one filed, they disdained, they were frightened by the sight of the girl, they took pity on her for their beautiful towels. And I'm wearing nothing but swimming trunks. Because of the fast run, and while I was pulling her out of the water, I was exhausted, there was not enough air for artificial respiration.
About resuscitation
Thank God, my colleague, nurse Olga, was passing by, but she was on the other side. She started screaming for me to bring the baby to her on the shore. The child who swallowed water became incredibly heavy. The peasants responded to the request to carry the girl to the other side. There, Olga and I continued all resuscitation actions. They drained the water as best they could, did a heart massage, artificial respiration, for 15-20 minutes there was no reaction, neither from the girl, nor from nearby onlookers. I asked for an ambulance, no one called, and the ambulance station was nearby, 150 meters away. Olga and I couldn’t afford to be distracted even for a second, so we couldn’t even call. After some time, a boy was found, and he ran to call for help. In the meantime, we were all trying to revive a little girl, five years old. From despair, Olga even began to cry, it seemed that there was no hope anymore. Everyone around said, leave these useless attempts, you will break all her ribs, why are you mocking the dead. But then the girl sighed, the nurse who came running heard the sounds of a heartbeat.

3. A third-grader rescued three young children from a burning hut. For the heroism shown, 11-year-old Dima Filyushin was almost flogged at home.

... On the day when a fire broke out on the outskirts of the village, the twin brothers Andryusha and Vasya and five-year-old Nastya were alone at home. Mom left for work. Dima was returning from school when he noticed a flame in the neighbor's windows. The boy looked inside - the curtains were ablaze, and next to him, on the bed, three-year-old Vasya was sleeping. Of course, the student could call the rescue service, but without hesitation, he rushed to save the kids himself.

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 get warm in the car, and at the same time warm up the engine.

5. Little hero of Buryatia - this is how 5-year-old Danila Zaitsev was dubbed in the republic. This kid saved his older sister Valya from death. When the girl fell into the hole, her brother held her for half an hour so that the current would not drag Valya under the ice.

When the boy's hands were cold and tired, he grabbed his sister by the hood with his teeth and did not let go until a neighbor, 15-year-old Ivan Zhamyanov, came to the rescue. The teenager was able to pull Valya out of the water and in his arms carried the exhausted and frozen girl to his home. There, the child was wrapped in a blanket and given hot tea to drink.

6. 35-year-old resident of Uralsk Rinat Fardiev was repairing his car when he suddenly heard a loud knock. Having run up to the scene, he saw a sinking car and without thinking twice jumped into the icy water and began to pull out the victims.

“At the scene of the accident, I saw a confused driver and passengers of the VAZ, who in the dark could not understand where the car they crashed into had gone. Then I followed the tracks of the wheels down and found the Audi in the river with the wheels up. I immediately entered the water and began to pull people out of the car. First I got the driver and passenger who was sitting in the front seat, and then the two passengers from the back seat. They were already unconscious at that time.”
Unfortunately, one of the people rescued by Rinat did not survive - the 34-year-old Audi passenger died of hypothermia. Other victims were hospitalized and have since been discharged. Rinat himself works as a driver and does not see much heroism in his act at all. “The traffic cops told me at the scene of the accident that they would decide on my promotion. But from the very beginning I did not seek publicity and receive any awards, most importantly, I managed to save people, ”he said.

But it was so slippery and cold that I could not grab onto the hoop. And when I raised my hands, ice water was poured into the sleeves. I screamed, called for help, but the well is far from residential buildings and roads, so no one heard me. How long this went on, I don’t even know ...
