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. All events took place in February 2014.

Schoolchildren from the Krasnodar Territory Roman Vitkov and Mikhail Serdyuk rescued an elderly woman from a burning house. On their way home, they saw a burning building. Having run into the yard, the schoolchildren saw that the veranda was almost completely engulfed in fire. Roman and Mikhail rushed to the shed for the tool. Grabbing a sledgehammer and an ax, knocking out a window, Roman climbed into the window opening. An elderly woman slept in a smoky room. It was possible to take out the victim only after breaking the door.

“Roma is smaller than me, so he easily entered the window opening, but he couldn’t get out the same way back with his grandmother in his arms. Therefore, we had to break open the door and only in this way managed to carry out the victim, ”said Misha Serdyuk.

Residents of the village of Altynai, Sverdlovsk Region, Elena Martynova, Sergey Inozemtsev, Galina Sholokhova, rescued children from a fire.

All three heroes received certificates from the local Ministry of Emergency Situations.

And in Chelyabinsk region priest Alexei Peregudov saved the life of the groom at the wedding. During the wedding, the groom lost consciousness.

As a result, the sacrament was successfully completed. Father Aleksey noted that he had only seen chest compressions in movies.

Veteran distinguished himself in Mordovia Chechen war Marat Zinatullin, who rescued an elderly man from a burning apartment. Having witnessed the fire, Marat acted like a professional fireman. He climbed along the fence to a small barn, and from it he climbed onto the balcony. He broke the glass, opened the door leading from the balcony to the room, and got inside. The 70-year-old owner of the apartment lay on the floor. The pensioner, who was poisoned by smoke, could not leave the apartment on his own. Marat, opening the front door from the inside, carried the owner of the house to the entrance.

Roman Sorvachev, an employee of the Kostroma colony, saved the lives of his neighbors in a fire. Entering the entrance of his house, he immediately figured out the apartment from which the smell of smoke comes. The door was opened by a drunken man, who assured that everything was in order. However, Roman called the Ministry of Emergency Situations. The rescuers who arrived at the scene of the fire were unable to enter the premises through the door, and the uniform of the EMERCOM officer did not allow them to get into the apartment through the narrow window frame. Then Roman climbed up the fire escape, entered the apartment and pulled out an elderly woman and an unconscious man from the heavily smoky apartment.

A resident of the village of Yurmash (Bashkortostan) Rafit Shamsutdinov saved two children from a fire. Rafita, a fellow villager, lit the stove and, leaving two children - a three-year-old girl and a one-and-a-half-year-old son, went off to school with her older children. The smoke from the burning house was noticed by Rafit Shamsutdinov. Despite the abundance of smoke, he managed to get into the burning room and carry the children out.

Dagestan Arsen Fittsulaev prevented a catastrophe at a gas station in Kaspiysk. Later, Arsen realized that he actually risked his life.
An explosion suddenly thundered at one of the gas stations within the boundaries of Kaspiysk. As it turned out later, a foreign car driving at high speed crashed into a gas tank and knocked down a valve. A minute of delay, and the fire would have spread to nearby tanks with combustible fuel. In such a scenario, casualties would not have been avoided. However, the situation was radically changed by a modest gas station worker, who skillfully averted the disaster and reduced its scale to a burned-out car and several damaged cars.

And in the village of Ilyinka-1, Tula Region, schoolchildren Andrey Ibronov, Nikita Sabitov, Andrey Navruz, Vladislav Kozyrev and Artem Voronin pulled a pensioner out of a well. 78-year-old Valentina Nikitina fell into a well and could not get out on her own.

However, three more guys had to be called to help - Andrei Navruz, Vladislav Kozyrev and Artem Voronin. Together, the guys managed to pull an elderly pensioner out of the well.
“I tried to get out, the well is not deep - I even reached the edge with my hand. 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 ... Soon I began to feel sleepy, I raised my head with the last of my strength and suddenly saw two boys looking into the well!” – said the victim.

In the village of Romanovo, Kaliningrad region, a twelve-year-old schoolboy Andrey Tokarsky distinguished himself. He saved his cousin that fell through the ice. The incident occurred on Lake Pugachevskoye, where the boys, together with Andrei's aunt, came to ride on the cleared ice.

A policeman from the Pskov region Vadim Barkanov saved two men on. Walking with his friend, Vadim saw smoke and flames of fire escaping from the window of an apartment in a residential building. A woman ran out of the building and began to call for help, as two men remained in the apartment. Calling firefighters, Vadim and his friend rushed to their aid. As a result, they managed to carry two unconscious men out of the burning building. The victims were taken to the hospital by ambulance, where they received the necessary medical care.

We present to your attention the most heroic domestic deeds committed by our children. These are stories about child heroes who, at the cost of their lives and health, without hesitation rushed to the rescue of those who needed help.

Zhenya Tabakov

Most young hero Russia. A real man who was only 7 years old. The only seven-year-old recipient of the Order of Courage. Unfortunately, posthumously.

The tragedy broke out on the evening of November 28, 2008. Zhenya and his twelve-year-old older sister Yana were alone at home. An unknown man called at the door, who introduced himself as a postman who allegedly brought a registered letter.

Yana did not suspect anything was wrong and allowed him to come in. Entering the apartment and closing the door behind him, instead of a letter, the “postman” took out a knife and, grabbing Yana, began to demand that the children give him all the money and valuables. Having received an answer from the children that they did not know where the money was, the criminal demanded that Zhenya look for them, and he dragged Yana into the bathroom, where he began to rip off her clothes. Seeing how he rips off his sister's clothes, Zhenya grabbed a kitchen knife and, in desperation, stuck it in the criminal's lower back. Howling in pain, he loosened his grip, and the girl managed to run out of the apartment for help. In a rage, the failed rapist, pulling the knife out of himself, began to thrust it into the child (eight stab wounds incompatible with life were counted on Zhenya's body), after which he fled. However, the wound inflicted by Zhenya, leaving behind a bloody trail, did not allow him to escape from the chase.

Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of January 20, 2009 No. For courage and dedication shown in the performance of civic duty Tabakov Evgeny Evgenievich was posthumously awarded the Order of Courage. The order was received by Zhenya's mother Galina Petrovna.

On September 1, 2013, a monument to Zhenya Tabakov was opened in the school yard - a boy driving a kite away from a dove.

Danil Sadykov

A 12-year-old teenager, a resident of the city of Naberezhnye Chelny, died saving a 9-year-old schoolboy. The tragedy occurred on May 5, 2012 on Enthusiasts Boulevard. At about two o'clock in the afternoon, 9-year-old Andrei Churbanov decided to get a plastic bottle that had fallen into the fountain. Suddenly he was shocked, the boy lost consciousness and fell into the water.

Everyone shouted “help”, but only Danil jumped into the water, who at that moment was passing by on a bicycle. Danil Sadykov pulled the victim onto the side, but he himself received a severe electric shock. He died before the ambulance arrived.
Thanks to the selfless act of one child, another child survived.

Danil Sadykov was awarded the Order of Courage. Posthumously. For the courage and dedication shown in saving a person in extreme conditions. The award was presented by the chairman of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation. Instead of her son, the boy's father, Aidar Sadykov, received her.

Maxim Konov and Georgy Suchkov

In the Nizhny Novgorod region, two third-graders rescued a woman who fell into an ice hole. When she was already saying goodbye to life, two boys passed by the pond, returning from school. A 55-year-old resident of the village of Mukhtolova, Ardatovsky district, went to the pond to draw water from the Epiphany hole. The ice hole was already covered with ice, the woman slipped and lost her balance. In heavy winter clothes, she found herself in icy water. Clinging to the edge of the ice, the unfortunate woman began to call for help.

Fortunately, at that moment, two friends Maxim and Georgiy, who were returning from school, were passing by the pond. Noticing the woman, they, without wasting a second, rushed to help. Having reached the hole, the boys took the woman by both hands and pulled her out onto the hard ice. The guys accompanied her to the house, not forgetting to grab a bucket and a sled. Arriving doctors examined the woman, provided assistance, she did not need hospitalization.

Of course, such a shock did not pass without a trace, but the woman does not get tired of thanking the guys for staying alive. She gave her rescuers soccer balls and cell phones.

Vanya Makarov

Vanya Makarov from Ivdel is now eight years old. A year ago, he rescued his classmate from the river, who fell through the ice. Looking at this little boy - a little over a meter tall and weighing only 22 kilograms - it's hard to imagine how he alone could pull the girl out of the water. Vanya grew up in an orphanage with his sister. But two years ago he got into the family of Nadezhda Novikova (and the woman already had four of her children). In the future, Vanya plans to go to study at cadet school to become a lifeguard.

Kobychev Maxim

A fire broke out in a private residential building in the village of Zelveno, Amur Region, late in the evening. Neighbors discovered the fire very late, when thick smoke poured from the windows of the burning house. Reporting about the fire, the residents began to extinguish the flames by flooding it with water. By that time things and the walls of the building were burning in the rooms. Among those who ran to help was 14-year-old Maxim Kobychev. Having learned that there are people in the house, he, not at a loss in difficult situation, entered the house and dragged a disabled woman born in 1929 into the fresh air. Then, risking his own life, he returned to the burning building and carried out a man born in 1972.

Kirill Daineko and Sergey Skripnik

In the Chelyabinsk region, two friends of 12 years showed real courage, saving their teachers from the destruction caused by the fall of the Chelyabinsk meteorite.

Kirill Daineko and Sergei Skrypnik heard their teacher Natalya Ivanovna calling for help from the dining room, unable to knock down the massive doors. The children rushed to save the teacher. First, they ran into the duty room, grabbed a reinforcing bar that came under their arm and knocked out the window into the dining room with them. Then, through the window opening, the teacher, wounded by glass fragments, was transferred to the street. After that, the schoolchildren discovered that another woman needed help - a kitchen worker, who was overwhelmed by utensils that collapsed from the impact of the blast wave. Having quickly sorted out the blockage, the boys called for help from adults.

Lida Ponomareva

The medal "For Saving the Perishing" will be awarded to the sixth grade student of the Ustvash secondary school of the Leshukonsky district (Arkhangelsk region) Lidia Ponomareva. The corresponding Decree was signed by Russian President Vladimir Putin, the press service of the regional government reports.

In July 2013, a 12-year-old girl saved two seven-year-old children. Lida, ahead of the adults, jumped into the river, first after the drowning boy, and then helped the girl to swim out, who was also carried away by the current far from the shore. One of the guys on land managed to throw a life jacket to the drowning child, for which Lida pulled the girl to the shore.

Lida Ponomareva, the only one of the surrounding children and adults who found themselves at the scene of the tragedy, without hesitation, rushed into the river. The girl risked her own life doubly, because her injured arm was very sore. When the next day after saving the children, the mother and daughter went to the hospital, it turned out that it was a fracture.

Admiring the courage and courage of the girl, the governor of the Arkhangelsk region, Igor Orlov, personally thanked Lida for her brave act over the phone.

At the suggestion of the governor, Lida Ponomareva was presented for a state award.

Alina Gusakova and Denis Fedorov

During the terrible fires in Khakassia, schoolchildren saved three people.
On that day, the girl happened to be near the house of her first teacher. She came to visit a friend who lived next door.

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 putting it out 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 the door, grabbed my hand and pulled me 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 were fused 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.

Head of the EMERCOM of Russia Vladimir Puchkov presented departmental awards to firefighters and residents of Khakassia, who distinguished themselves in the elimination of massive fires, in the fire station No. 3 of the Abakan garrison of the EMERCOM of Russia. The list of award recipients includes 19 firefighters from the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia, firefighters from Khakassia, volunteers and two schoolchildren from the Ordzhonikidzevsky district - Alina Gusakova and Denis Fedorov.

This is only a small part of the stories about brave children and their unchildish deeds. One post will not be able to contain stories about all the heroes. Not everyone is awarded medals, but this does not make their deed less significant. The most important reward is the gratitude of those whose lives they saved.

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. Asked for a towel next door standing people. 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.

4. 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 bye time will pass 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 finishing rescue operation 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.

5. 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.

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 had 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 the 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.

7. A Saratovitian who pulled two little boys out of the water: “I thought I couldn’t swim. But as soon as I heard the screams, I immediately forgot about everything.


The screams were heard by a local resident, 26-year-old Vadim Prodan. Running up to the concrete slabs, he saw Ilya drowning. The boy was 20 meters from the shore. The man, wasting no time, rushed to save the boy. In order to pull the child out, Vadim had to dive several times - but when Ilya appeared from under the water, he was still conscious. On the shore, the boy told Vadim about his friend, who was no longer visible.

The man returned to the water and swam towards the reeds. He began to dive and look for the child - but he was nowhere to be seen. 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.

Heroes of the 21st century

When I heard about the essay competition, I thought: “Is there a place for heroism these days? Whether it's a war ... "The whole world knows the heroic stamina of the defenders of Moscow, Stalingrad. And I turned to the Internet, scoring in the search for "examples of heroism in our time." What was my surprise when, in the reports for November-December alone, I saw many examples of courage and courage of the most various people, young and not so young, men and women. Judge for yourself.

Mikhail Makarets, a military man from Kemerovo region, saved two children from a fire. Yevgeny Pavlov, a policeman from Primorsky Krai, rescued a drowning man. Mikhail Kotogarov, a schoolboy in the Tula region, saved his brothers from a fire. And this list can be continued for a long time. The geography of such feats, and that is how I can call the behavior of people, is great. Someone might say that the duty of the police and firefighters is to save people. But after all, almost everyone has responsibilities, but does every person, fulfilling them, risk his life?

AT Ancient Greece the hero was considered "a valiant husband, leader." He must have been a man of exceptional courage and valor. In Sparta, they even carried out a “selection” of strong newborns. Times have changed, and now a hero can be a person who does not think of himself like that at all. He simply has no time to realize whether he will accomplish a feat or not.

On March 28, 2012, during a military exercise in the Amur region, a 19-year-old soldier unsuccessfully threw a grenade. The ammunition hit the edge of the parapet, and flew off to the side, where other soldiers were standing. Major Sergei Solnechnikov instantly realized what had happened, pushed the confused soldier away and covered the grenade with himself. An hour and a half later, the major died on the operating table from his wounds. Maybe someone does not consider him a hero, but the parents of the saved children, I am sure, will pray to God for the rest of their lives for the soul of this person, and future children will remember Solnechnikov and call him a hero.

Our life does not stand still, but rushes forward. But it also has a place for exploits. Anyone who does good deeds from the heart can become a hero. After all, great heroism is born from small deeds.

Mironenko Vladimir, a student of the 7th "A" class.

Heroes of the 21st century.

Who are the heroes? Is a person born a hero or does he become a hero? I'm sure I'm not the only one with these questions. Who can be considered the hero of our time? Everyone will answer in their own way. Someone believes that a hero is one who has unmeasured strength, insane courage, endurance, but for someone the concept of heroism has remained unchanged.

I would call modern hero a person with an open good soul. Sometimes he does good to the detriment of himself and his health. Preparing for the composition, I read the words of the Czech writer Gabriel Laub: “Heroes are needed in a moment of danger, but in the rest of the time they are dangerous.” I cannot agree with this opinion. The more people who are able to rush to help another, the less danger there will be in our lives. Heroes do not need themselves, we need them, people.

Some of my peers believe that the heroes of our day are famous actors, musicians, politicians. They say they have achieved a lot in life. I do not argue with them, but I admire other people who managed to overcome physical pain, fear, who dream of the glory of the Motherland. An example of such heroism for me is associated with the victory of our Paralympic team in the last Olympics in Vancouver in March 2010. They have significantly less opportunity to be strong. But they, contrary to fate, at the cost of considerable efforts, both their own and their loved ones, overcame their illness, their helplessness, so that the whole planet could hear "the sound of the anthem of their native country."

One of the heroes of this Olympiad is Irek Zaripov, who won five gold medals. A few years ago, he was in a severe car accident, he lost both legs. And after such an injury, he began to train, participate in competitions, fight not only with his rivals, but above all with himself. And the victory in Vancouver proved to everyone how, despite the circumstances, you can achieve results.

In life there is always a place for a feat, but the path to it lies through the cultivation of a sense of duty in oneself. In the struggle over their weaknesses and shortcomings, that heroism of each person is born.

Anisimova Alina, 8th grade student.

Heroes of the 21st century.

It is difficult to be a hero, because you need to save the world, where there are a lot of bad people.

Being a hero is often scary, but they are. What does a person who laid down his life for the sake of other people think about in the last seconds? We love our life... What does it feel like to give it away? After all, often a manifestation of heroism is a response to someone's negligence and sloppiness.

It happened on June 24, 2010. On board the destroyer Bystry of the Pacific Fleet, which was preparing to go to sea, a fire suddenly broke out in the boiler room. Sailor Aldar Tsydenzhapov, the engineer of the boiler room, who was on duty, did not lose his head and resolutely joined the fight against the flame. Eliminating the fire, he shut off the fuel supply valve. Only after that he was the last to leave the compartment and managed to independently get out to a safe place. With almost 100 percent burns on his body, the sailor was taken to the fleet hospital, where doctors fought for his life for four days, but, unfortunately, they could not save him.

Feats were accomplished before us, and in our time there are feats, they will be after us. In any era there were people ready for heroic deeds. A feat is performed primarily not for themselves, not for glory, but only in order to make our life at least a little kinder, brighter, by virtue of their capabilities. Such a feat was accomplished by Aldar Tsydenzhapov.”

As long as our Motherland is raising such sons who will stand up for its defense at any moment, Russia will be alive.Aldar Tsydenzhapov is the only one who in the surface forces of the fleet of our country was awarded the high title of Hero of Russia in peacetime. And yet, I must say, the word "aldar" in Buryat means "glory" ...

Patriotism is not just love for the motherland. Patriotism implies not only a sense of pride in the country, but also a willingness to be with it in difficult times.

Zhelnov Vladislav, 8th grade student.

Heroes of the 21st century.

The great military and labor past of our country knows many heroes: Matrosov, Suvorov, Nakhimov, Stakhanov, Sakharov, Zhukov, Kutuzov, Ushakov and many others. These people once glorified our country on the world stage. Their heroism is immortal. At the same time, we, the generation that grew up in the 21st century, should know that modernity also provides examples of the manifestation of patriotism.

But who are these heroes? In what region are these people born and living? Maybe special conditions are needed in order for heroes to appear? Maybe they are people of a special profession? There is a special kind of heroism - it is never, under any circumstances, to change the rules of honor, decency, friendship, philanthropy. This is the heroism of the spirit.

September 1st, 2004 high school No. 1 of the city of Beslan in North Ossetia was seized by terrorists. They took students, their parents and teachers hostage, gathering everyone in a booby-trapped gym. The terrorists threatened to blow up the school building if they tried to free the hostages. Rescuers Dmitry Kormilina and Valery Zamaraev showed special heroism by entering the first school occupied by terrorists. As a result of the sudden shooting, they were fatally injured, from which they later died in the hospital. The tragedy of Beslan told the whole world about simple heroism ordinary people: how one sister, having run away at the very beginning of the capture, returned for another, younger one, herself being held hostage, and then saved her life at the time of hostilities; how heroically, “like a man”, in the words of one of the hostages, the children behaved, how they cared for the teachers and each other, how the teachers cared for them.

You can become a hero in simple, everyday affairs, not only during the war. Outstanding thinkers said: "Often human courage is more recognized in the small than in the great." Not every brave act can be called heroic. For example, in front of passers-by, running across the street in a dangerous, inappropriate place at a red light is not heroism, but stupidity, which can end very badly for the “hero”. An unusual, daring, exceptional act cannot be considered heroic if it is not done for the benefit of people. I think that heroic deed It is an act that benefits society.

Dubovitskaya Natalia, 8th grade student.

Heroes of the 21st century.

Heroism… What is it? What separates a true hero from a coward? What guides a person during his heroic deeds?

Whom shall we call a true hero in the sense that we put into the word "heroism"? Such a hero might be the fireman who, despising mortal danger, carries a suffocating child out of the fire, although he could have waited for his firefighter friends to put out the fire so that he could pass with minimal health risk. Doctors who save crippled people during hostilities in various countries, who die from bullets and shells of warring factions, also show an example of true heroism. A policeman who decisively stands in the way of a bandit who is ready to kill for the sake of a dose of a drug or a bundle of bloody money is undoubtedly a true hero.

I want to talk about the "little" heroes. .I call them that because they are small in age, and in terms of strength of mind they are stronger and more reliable than many adults.

Sasha Kirasov, a resident of the village of Togur in the Tomsk region, was walking home from class when he heard children's cries from the side of the lake. Running closer, he saw two boys who fell through the ice. The second-grader found a long board and pulled the guys out of the water one by one, and then put them on the sled and drove them home. As a result, the boys escaped with a slight fright.

A 12-year-old schoolgirl from Yakutia, without hesitation, jumped into the river to save the drowning Alyosha Mikhailov. Right in her clothes, she swam to the boy, who was carried away by a strong current. Approaching the child and grabbing his hands, Sophia began to drag him to the shore. But the strong current did not allow it. Gathering the last of her strength, she pushed the boy to a branch sticking out from under the water with the words: “Hold on tight!”. He, in a semi-conscious state, clutching a branch, was pulled out by adults who ran up, and Sofia could not get out.

Nowadays, there are teenagers who "hero" on the roofs of wagons, high-rise buildings. This heroism is a game for the public, window dressing. Heroism - not everyone is capable of it - when a person for the sake of something is able to sacrifice himself and do great good deeds

Sankov Nikolay, a student of the 7th "A" class.

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.

This is - real feats committed 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. “In our country there are many children and adolescents 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 in order 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.
