IA "Amitel" recalls the names of those who proved that real men live next to us
It is customary to think that the heroes are in the past. That the current generation is not capable of self-sacrifice and does not even know what it is to give one's life for the Motherland. Today, on Defender of the Fatherland Day, the editors decided to refute this myth and recall the names of those who have become heroes today.
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.
Oleg Fedyura
The head of the Main Directorate of the EMERCOM of Russia for the Primorsky Territory personally visited all the flooded cities and villages, led search and rescue operations, and helped to evacuate people. On September 2, together with his brigade, he was heading to another village, in which 400 houses were flooded and more than 1,000 people were waiting for help. Crossing the river, KAMAZ, in which Fedyura and 8 other people were, collapsed into the water. Oleg Fedyura saved all the personnel, but then he could not get out of the flooded car and died.
Konstantin Parikozha
A native of Tomsk, the 38-year-old pilot managed to land a liner with a burning engine, in which there were 350 passengers, including many families with children and 20 crew members. The plane flew from the Dominican Republic. During landing, his landing gear caught fire. However, thanks to the skill of the pilot, the Boeing 777 was successfully landed and none of the passengers were injured. Parikozha received the Order of Courage from the hands of the President.

Young policeman Danil Maksudov hardly dreamed of fame when he led frozen people through the snow and wind to the rescuers. It happened on the second of January 2016 on highway Orenburg - Ork. Then, due to a sudden snowstorm, hundreds of people were trapped in snow. After rescue operation more than 10 people with hypothermia were hospitalized.
25-year-old Danil led people through the wind to the track, where rescuers were waiting for them (their equipment could not get through to the stuck cars). Maksudov gave the jacket to the frozen child, and the mittens to the girl. He himself received frostbite on his hands and lost his fingers as a result.
Sergei Ganzha
In the summer of 2016, a young resident of the village of Shipunovo, Sergei Ganzha, saved a drowning five-year-old girl and was presented with an award from the Russian Emergencies Ministry. The incident happened on August 26th. A 17-year-old guy was returning home from fishing along the banks of the Klepechikha River. On the way, his attention was attracted by the cry of a boy who called for help. It turned out that his little sister was in trouble. The guy jumped into the water with a running start and began to dive, trying to find the child in muddy water. The depth was at least six meters, and the strong current made the search much more difficult. After the fourth attempt, the guy was able to find the girl at the bottom and pulled her ashore. Sergei Ganzha began to give the child artificial respiration and chest compressions. A few minutes later, the child began to breathe. After that, the young man called an ambulance, and the victim was taken to the Shipunovskaya district hospital.

A native of the Altai Territory, the crew commander of the Su-24 bomber Oleg Peshkov on November 24, 2015 made a sortie in Syria. The bomber was shot down by the Turkish military and crashed on Syrian territory. The crew managed to eject. But Peshkov was killed during the landing. He was posthumously awarded the title Hero of Russia. In the village of Kosikha, Altai Territory, a street is named after him.
On September 25, 2014, 40-year-old Colonel Serik Sultangabiev, in the closed military town of Lesnoy in the Sverdlovsk Region, covered with his body a junior sergeant who dropped a grenade. As a result, the sergeant was not injured, and the lieutenant colonel was seriously injured.
On March 28, 2012, at the training ground near Belogorsk, the commander of the communications battalion, Major Sergei Solnechnikov, covered a ricocheted live grenade with himself. The major died, but at the cost of his life he saved many soldiers. He was awarded the title of Hero of Russia posthumously.
Alexander Makarenko
On October 5, 2010, in the Moscow region, Lieutenant Colonel Alexander Makarenko shielded a subordinate from a hand grenade explosion. The soldier pulled out the safety pin, but dropped the grenade during the throwing swing. The officer reacted immediately. He kicked the grenade away, pushed the soldier away and covered him with his body. As a result of the explosion, the lieutenant colonel received multiple shrapnel wounds and concussion. The officer underwent several operations. The soldier was not injured.
In 2007, at one of the training grounds in the Kaliningrad region, a grenade in the hand of an ordinary Mirkhaydarov went off. And covered the falling fighter with his body. The private escaped with a slight fright, and the major received a severe wound.
Alexander Belyaev and Alexander Golushchak
In March 2005, at the Zelenchuksky training ground, Private Dmitriev dropped a grenade right under the feet of soldiers and officers who were in the trench. Major Alexander Belyaev, who was nearby, managed to shout "grenade!", threw the soldier out of the trench and covered himself. Another major - Alexander Golushchak at that time covered the rest of the soldiers. Private Dmitriev had to write an explanatory note addressed to the unit commander. And the officers were presented to the Order of Courage.
In March 2003 in Kemerovo region 45-year-old battalion commander Igor Yakunin died. Private Denis Lobashev dropped the grenade with the ring already pulled out. The battalion commander managed to shield the young soldiers with his body. He died from his wounds a few days later.
On January 16, 2003, at the Kamyshin training ground in the Volgograd region, conscript soldier Daniil Bondarev dropped a grenade under his feet with the fuse removed. The deputy commander of the unit, Senior Lieutenant Vitaly Popov, knocked the soldier down and covered himself during the explosion. The soldier was not hurt. The officer survived miraculously, underwent serious operations. For the shown courage the lieutenant is presented to the state award.
And this is not the whole list of those who have become a hero today. Those who do not spare their lives so that others return home. Happy holiday to all defenders of the Fatherland. We want you to always return to your loved ones.
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 pacific ocean and received bronze and silver stars for gallantry in the line of duty, as well as three purple hearts for battle wounds, which saw him spend 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 the state of Georgia, the jack also slipped, and the 1350-kilogram Chevrolet Impala fell on 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 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 were by that time in cold water at a depth of 10 m. It is said that for each person he saved, it took 30 seconds, he saved one after another 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. Even though the pilot hurt himself left hand, he escaped death thanks to a local Hawaiian hero.
The true abilities, capabilities and character of a person often manifest themselves in emergency situations, in hard time for the country, society, people. It's in moments like these that heroes are born. This is what happens everywhere. The heroes of Russia and their exploits have entered the history of the Fatherland forever, people remember them for many years, and tell future generations. Every hero is worthy of respect and reverence. Feats are not performed in the name of glory and honor. At the time of their accomplishment, people do not think about their own benefit, on the contrary, they show courage for the sake of other people or in the name of the Motherland.
Be that as it may, even in the last century our country was called the USSR, and people born in this state do not forget and honor their heroes who had the title of Hero of the USSR. This highest award established in the Soviet Union in 1934. They gave it for special services to the Fatherland. It was made of gold, had the shape of a five-pointed star with the inscription "Hero of the USSR", complemented by a red ribbon 20 mm wide. A star appeared in October 1939, by which time several hundred people had already been awarded this distinction. Together with the star, the Order of Lenin was also awarded.
Who was awarded the star? A person had to accomplish a significant feat for the state. Description of the exploits of the heroes of Russia and the Soviet Union can now be found not only in textbooks and books: the Internet allows you to find out interesting information about each hero of both the last century and the present. Hero of the USSR - an honorary title and an award badge of the same name, which some individuals have been awarded several times. But, of course, there are few of them. Since 1973, with the second award, along with the star, the second Order of Lenin was also awarded. A bust was erected in the homeland of the hero. The first stars back in 1934 were received by pilots (there were seven of them), who played leading role in rescuing the Chelyuskin icebreaker trapped in the ice.
The appearance of the award "Hero of Russia"
The Soviet Union collapsed, and in the 1990s we "transferred" to live in a new state. Despite all the political troubles, heroes have always been and are among us. So, in 1992, the Supreme Council of the Russian Federation enacted the Law "On the Establishment of the Title of Hero of Russia." The award was still the same Golden Star, only now with the inscription "Hero of Russia" and with a ribbon in the form of the Russian tricolor. The assignment of the title of Hero of the Russian Federation by the President of Russia is carried out only once. A bronze bust is erected in the homeland of the hero.
The modern heroes of Russia and their exploits are known throughout the country. The first to be awarded this title was S. S. Oskanov, Major General of Aviation. Unfortunately, the title was awarded to him posthumously. February 7, 1992 during the flight mission happened unforeseen situation- equipment failure, and the MIG-29 was rapidly falling on locality in the Lipetsk region. To avoid the tragedy, to save human lives, Oskanov took the plane aside, but the pilot himself could not be saved. The pilot's widow received Gold Star No. 2. The country's leadership decided that Hero No. 1 should be alive. So, medal No. 1 was awarded to pilot-cosmonaut S. K. Krikalev. On the orbital station"Mir" he performed the longest space flight. The list of those awarded the title of Hero is long - these are military personnel, and cosmonauts, and participants in the Second World War and hot spots, and intelligence officers, and scientists, and athletes.

An ordinary soldier, out of inexperience, unsuccessfully threw a grenade, the ammunition ended up on the edge of the parapet, which protected the firing position. The soldiers were in real danger. Major Solnechnikov accepted instant solution, he pushed the young guy away and covered the grenade with his body. An hour and a half later, he died on the operating table. On April 3, 2012 Major Solnechnikov was posthumously awarded the title Hero of Russia.

The Airborne Forces groups successfully got out of the encirclement. Comrades carried Minenkov from the battlefield. The leg was amputated at the hospital.

The command set the task for Captain Lelyukh's reconnaissance group to break through the encirclement as soon as possible and facilitate the exit of the brigade from the city. Igor Lelyukh objected that without the support of armored vehicles by the forces of one reconnaissance group, the task was impossible, but the objections were rejected due to the catastrophic situation of the brigade and the absence of any other reserves.
