The scariest moment was when, after being wounded, I pulled out a comrade who was in a much worse condition, and it was unclear whether he would survive or not. But in all this year and a half, I never once doubted that I was doing the right thing," he wrote.
I immediately joined the drone pilots. In a year, I learned to be a soldier, was wounded, lost comrades, and even received awards. During this time, it was different: sometimes I was happy, sometimes it was very difficult, sometimes tolerable. Sometimes it was very scary.
Unfortunately, the war is with us for a long time. It will not end today or tomorrow. It will not end even if there is a respite. And participating in the war is the only possible form of control.
The only thing I can say with certainty after almost a year and a half is that it is difficult for me to imagine doing anything else right now.
In fact, I can give you a dozen more reasons why I left to serve, and they would all be true. The problem is that it would sound a little pompous, and to be honest, I find that kind of pathos awkward.
But obviously, I resolved those doubts for myself. I am not disappointed in journalism as such, it's just that against the backdrop of daily routine deaths and destruction, you inevitably question the power of reporting.
First of all, I had no doubts that a Russian could fight for Ukraine. Of course, you can, when Ukraine is being killed. Especially if Ukraine is your family, your friends, your loved ones. I had some doubts about having to leave my beloved profession, because journalists don't usually go to war.
"I haven't posted anything publicly for over a year—in May 2024, I left to fight for Ukraine, and I'm serving in the 13th Brigade of the National Guard, 'Charter.' And perhaps I should say a few words about this.
