Drawing of a boy saving another child from the water. Seven great feats of little heroes
The young hero carried his sisters and brothers out of the fire
A small resident of the city of Vyazma, Smolensk region, showed no childish courage. On December 7 at 10 o'clock in the morning a terrible fire broke out in the private house where he lived. A huge flame instantly engulfed the entire building. A 30-year-old woman with four children was captured by the fire - the family had not yet woken up. 9-year-old Nikita was the first to come to his senses. First the boy rushed to front door, but then remembered his younger brothers and sisters. The young hero literally managed to carry all the children out of the fire in his arms, but the children’s mother died in the fire.
When the children stood on the porch of the burning house and huddled together from the cold, an investigator from the interdistrict investigative department of the regional investigative department of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation drove by. He noticed them, stopped, immediately put them in the car and provided first aid.
— The children were wearing T-shirts with short sleeve, tights and pants without socks,” said a local resident who happened to be nearby and an eyewitness to the incident.
The investigator wrapped the little ones in a blanket: a 9-month-old girl and a two-and-a-half-year-old boy; the rest were sitting in the car with the heater turned on at full blast. They did not manage to take anything from the burning home.
The boy said that his mother remained in the house. Then the investigator with local resident They rushed to help the woman, but they could not save her: the house was already completely engulfed in flames and smoke. The investigator called the firefighters and “ ambulance", the arriving doctors took the children to the hospital.
It later turned out that the children’s sister Victoria, who is 11 years old, by luck, spent the night with her great-grandmother. Therefore, the little 9-year-old hero took the blow of fate upon himself - after all, he turned out to be the eldest of the children in the house.
— As a result of the fire, a 9-month-old girl was injured and is currently being treated at the Moscow Children’s Burn Center. Doctors assess the child's condition as moderate. Investigators are considering several causes of the fire, including a malfunction of the stove heating,” said Natalya Zueva, senior assistant to the head of the Investigative Directorate of the Russian Federation for the Smolensk Region.
According to the guardianship authorities, the grandmother of three younger children volunteered to raise the children. paternal line. The children's aunts, living in Vyazma and St. Petersburg, were also found. The relatives said: “We will take all the children. IN orphanage We won’t give them away.”
The head of the guardianship and trusteeship department of the district administration, Nadezhda Kustareva, noted that the family was not registered with the guardianship authorities, the older children attend school, the younger ones attend kindergarten. On that ill-fated day, the schoolchildren stayed home because they were sick.
“No one has interviewed Nikita yet, as far as I know,” says neighbor Valentina. — The boy is already under stress. They haven’t told him yet that his mother is no more. Poor children, I feel so sorry for them! We hope for the help of kind people. In our city they are already collecting help for fire victims - so much is needed: clothes, and all sorts of notebooks for school, you see, the house has burned down, there is nothing left. The children ran out almost naked to escape the fire. And now you know how expensive everything is...
The news about the fire did not leave both classmates and teachers of the school where Nikita studies indifferent.
“Nikita is a very responsive boy,” says class teacher 3rd grade Svetlana Ivanova. - He will always help you when you ask. We recently had renovations in the library - he helped us move books. It is clear that the guy is accustomed to order. This is the same large family, and Nikita could often be seen with a stroller, or he was walking with younger brothers. They have a vegetable garden - the boy also helped dig the beds, plant everything...
17-year-old Sergei Ganzha does not consider himself a hero - although he himself could well have died while searching for the body of a five-year-old child in icy water, at a depth of six meters. He not only pulled a five-year-old girl out of the water, but he himself, remembering his life safety lessons, gave her artificial respiration before the doctors arrive. And - pumped it out.

August 26 this year for Sergei, who lives in the Altai regional center of Shipunovo, it began as usual. On that hot, stuffy day, it was necessary to prepare a car of firewood and take it to one of the villages. Sergei, having completed nine classes in high school, works for individual entrepreneur Andrei Ignatov - sawing wood, chopping firewood. Having finished swinging the ax, the young man went to the Klepechikha River to look for Ignatov’s sons, who had gone fishing. The guys were supposed to help with loading.
I was walking along the dam. On the way, I saw small children spinning around the shore - a boy and a girl. I didn’t find Rybakov around the bend, so I turned back and heard the boy’s scream,” recalls Sergei.
He ran and saw that the girl was floundering helplessly in the water. Five-year-old Natasha Utkina accidentally fell into the river after coming too close to a slippery steep bank lined with concrete slabs. In this place, Klepechikha is deep, up to six meters during the full-flow period. And the current in that place is not weak.
There was no time to hesitate. While Sergei was tearing off his jacket and sneakers as he walked, the girl disappeared under the water. He ran, swam, dived. The water turned out to be very cold and muddy, nothing was visible at arm's length. Ganja surfaced to fill his lungs fresh air, and again went into the depths, feverishly rummaging along the muddy bottom. Finally, on the fourth attempt, I came across the girl’s body. He grabbed her leg and rowed her towards the shore with all his might.
It was the energetic, decisive actions of Sergei Ganzha that saved Natasha’s life
The girl was no longer breathing, her pulse could not be felt. Four year old boy, who raised a cry, could not help. There were no adults nearby. You could only rely on yourself. Sergei remembered what he saw on TV and heard in life safety lessons, and began performing mouth-to-mouth artificial respiration and chest compressions. He pressed on the chest with such desperation that the girl later developed a bruise. When the child started breathing, he called the local hospital.
Five-year-old Natasha Utkina was still unconscious when the ambulance team arrived. The teenager and the doctors got into the car and went to the hospital. According to doctors, it was the energetic, decisive actions of Sergei Ganzha that saved Natasha’s life.
“When we met, we asked Sergei: was he scared in those moments? He said that, of course, he was. He was afraid that he might not pull the girl out, and he himself could drown, because the water at that time was already very cold. His action he doesn’t consider it heroic, he says that anyone would do the same in his place. But one can argue with this. Not everyone will find the courage to dive into icy water to save a child. It takes fortitude and the ability to sacrifice,” he wrote in the regional newspaper. "Steppe Nov" journalist Alexander Osipov.
At the beginning of next summer, Sergei will turn 18 years old, and there is an army from which young hero It’s not that he doesn’t think about “mowing”, on the contrary, he’s eager to go there. The young man dreams of joining the elite, in his words, units - the Airborne Forces or army special forces, and then remain to serve under a contract. Sergei proudly admits that the military medical commission had no complaints about his health. True, doctors are probably due to short The boy has been assigned to the Navy for now. Maybe that’s right - he’s definitely not afraid of water.
In the Shipunovsky district, after this story, the young man began to enjoy great respect.
When we bring coal or firewood to someone, villagers often ask if I am the same rescuer. They say: “Well done, there aren’t many like that now. Others would have filmed a drowning girl on their phone, and then put it on the Internet to collect likes.”
Now the regional Ministry of Emergency Situations is preparing documents to award the brave young man with a departmental insignia.
If I need to save someone again, I will do it without hesitation. It doesn’t matter if a fire happens or someone starts drowning again,” Sergei promised.
On Saturday, February 17, a four-room apartment on the sixth floor caught fire in a residential microdistrict of Chelyabinsk. There were two children aged 10 and 12 in the apartment. They jumped out onto the balcony and began shouting:
Help!
And then he appeared - Superman. That’s what the fire victims initially decided when a sporty guy appeared in front of them and dragged them to the next balcony.
In fact, the superman turned out to be 17-year-old Artemy Polukeev from the next apartment. He heard a noise and ran out onto the balcony - adjacent to the neighbor's. He broke the covering and helped the guys escape. At that time the flames were already sticking out their tongues from the windows...
I DID EVERYTHING RIGHT
Artem from simple Ural family- Dad is a taxi driver, Mom is a storekeeper. He has two brothers: the eldest already lives separately, the youngest is in first grade.
The family does not admire Artyom’s actions. Parents say:
I did everything right! How could it be otherwise?
The seven-year-old brother does not really understand what happened, but he understands: if not for Artem, something terrible would have happened: the children from his yard could have died.
Artem is an ordinary guy: he studies at school. Previously, he was into boxing, but now he took a break, and a new friend- young woman. spends with her free time. And he was visiting her during the fire, when he heard cries for help.
After graduation goes to school enroll in assembly college, wants to become a builder.
- Artem, were you scared?
Yes, I didn’t think anything about it then. Everything happened quickly. But then the realization of what happened came...
- You are now a hero, they even want to nominate you for an award!
As my dad told me, before they would just shake your hand and say, “Well done,” but now they’ll tell you everywhere, write about you. During the day, more than 900 people visited my page on VKontakte! They write: “Well done, handsome, thank you.” Correspondents are calling. And I just found myself in in the right place V right time. So there is no need to write more about me, but people really need help!
WHAT ABOUT THE FIRE VICTIMS
Svetlana Leonidovna, the grandmother of the boys whom Artem saved, received her pension that day and went shopping. Ten-year-old Vanya and twelve-year-old Dima were left at home alone. This week the boys were sick and were on sick leave.
While Dima was watching TV, Vanya went to the kitchen, found matches and began to “conduct experiments.” There were many books lying nearby, they instantly burst into flames, and the fire spread to the furniture.
The boys and I called each other several times after I left. Everything was fine. Then my neighbors called me and said that the apartment was on fire. The children no longer answered calls,” said Svetlana Leonidovna. She wasn't home for an hour. When I came home, the fire was still being put out.
Svetlana Leonidovna is 60 years old, she is a former doctor. She is raising her grandchildren alone; their parents died: the father - a few days after Vanya was born, the mother - five years ago. The boys study well, practice karate, football, and skiing. Nobody expected a dangerous prank from them.
Of course, I talked to my grandchildren. How did this happen? They know that they are to blame, they say: “Baba, forgive us”...
For now, the woman and her grandchildren live with relatives: two rooms in the apartment were badly burned out.
I'm surprised how kind people live in our house. Everyone helps unselfishly, brings dishes and things. Thank you very much everyone!
They need help installing windows and making repairs,” says neighbor Maria Yarushina. - Write about it in the newspaper, people will definitely respond!

Salvation human life under any circumstances is a matter whose importance is difficult to convey in ordinary words. When it comes to saving the life of a child, such actions are regarded as a heroic feat.
In our case, we will talk about how such feats are accomplished by the youngest heroes.
A moment that will be remembered forever
Our first hero was an eleven-year-old Yaroslav Adoniev from the village of Stroymash, located near Sterlitamak. While walking in the yard with friends in April of this year, the boy quite by chance noticed that a very little girl had almost come very close to the slightly open window on the second floor.
Further events developed in a matter of seconds. Yaroslav said that by some miracle he sensed danger. Before he could run up open window, as the baby was already flying down. The guy instinctively extended his arms, and the girl fell right on top of him.
Naturally, Yaroslav could not resist the force and weight of the falling girl. However, he managed to group himself so that the baby was not harmed at all after the general fall. The fifth-grader himself escaped with minor bruises. After the ambulance arrived, it became clear that the girl remained alive only thanks to Yaroslav. The concrete platform would have left her no chance even if she fell from the second floor. Thus, at the age of 11, the guy has already managed to give life to another person!
When the school curriculum turned out to be indispensable
The next hero was a 17-year-old Sergey Ganzha from the village of Shipunovo in the Altai Territory. Returning from a part-time job during the school holidays, he noticed that he was screaming loudly on the bank of a local river. small child. Running up to him, Sergei saw that a girl was floundering in the water, and a second later she completely disappeared from sight.
Then the young man immediately jumped into the river to save the drowning woman. He had to dive several times in a row before the guy found the already lifeless body.
Having pulled the girl ashore, Sergei remembered everything that the teachers talked about in life safety lessons. The knowledge helped, and after a few seconds of heart massage, the girl began to clear her throat. By this time, an ambulance arrived, thanks to which the life of the five-year-old child was out of danger.
A little later, Sergei was awarded the medal “For saving those dying on the waters.” However main award for him there was sincere gratitude happy parents saved.
And AGAIN about caution with fire
October 19, 2016 will be remembered for a long time by the parents and aunt of a 10-year-old Alexandra Murzina. On this day, in the morning rush, the adults lit the stove and ran off about their business, leaving the children (a boy and his one-year-old sister) at home.
What exactly caused the fire is no longer important. The main thing is that at the moment of imminent danger the guy did not fall into despair. He got his bearings better than many adults would have. Wrapped in his father's jacket and hugging his little frightened sister, Sasha climbed out of the burning house through the window.
Here the children were intercepted by employees of a private security company. Later, firefighters who had already arrived called an ambulance for them. One way or another, it was obvious that youngest child survived only thanks to the confident actions of his older brother.
IN last days we write a lot about what was not done and who made criminal mistakes that led to the tragedy in Kemerovo. But there were also those who, through their actions, helped save others. Alexander Kalachev, Dmitry Polukhin, photographer Evgeniy, deceased teacher Tatyana Darsalia and others - they helped save dozens of human lives.
Not all the stories about courage in the fire in the Kemerovo “Winter Cherry” have been told, but we have collected six that are already known today. These heroes are a variety of ordinary residents of Kemerovo, not rescuers, not police officers or security guards. They helped strangers, saved children when they themselves were in danger.
Tatiana Darsalia
A teacher from gymnasium No. 17 in the city of Kemerovo came to the shopping center with her daughter on her day off. After making sure that her daughter was safe, she returned for other people's children and died trying to save them.
Tatyana Viktorovna was 37 years old. She came to the center to relax together with her 14-year-old daughter Elya. Komsomolskaya Pravda spoke with her student named Polina.
Tatyana Viktorovna was my teacher and head teacher of our school. She was not only a knowledgeable teacher, but also kindest person. When I saw that one of the guys Bad mood, came up and asked what happened. Helped me cope with difficulties.
According to eyewitnesses, the woman took her daughter outside. Hearing that there were still many children left inside, she rushed back, directed several children to the stairs and to the exit, but did not come out herself. On March 26, her name appeared on the lists of the dead.
Agnes Nitt
To be remembered. Tatiana Darsalia. An English teacher from Kemerovo gymnasium number 17. I was in the shopping center with my teenage daughter. She took her daughter outside, hearing about the children remaining in the cinema, and ran after them. And she didn’t return.
Alexander Kalachev
A café employee at Winter Cherry carried children out from the third floor until he inhaled smoke and suffered a burn.
Twenty-one year old the guy who was caught in the news when Vladimir Putin visited the regional hospital where he was lying has become the hero of numerous fakes. Bloggers wrote that the filming in the ward was staged, and Alexander himself was an employee of the Russian Guard. We quickly found out that this was not the case, which he later confirmed on Instagram.
Alexander is not very willing to talk about how he saved people who were lost on the third floor.
Evacuated people from the third floor. How did you evacuate? I just escorted them to a place where they could quickly leave the premises.
Alexander suffered carbon monoxide poisoning and received a slight burn to his throat. On March 27, he was already discharged from the hospital. But that same meeting with Putin.
Dmitry Polukhin
A seventeen-year-old cadet of the cadet corps of the Ministry of Emergency Situations returned into the smoke, having heard from a woman that she had lost her children, and pulled three guys out of a smoke-filled boutique.
When everything happened, I was in the cinema hall, watching a film. There was no siren, there was nothing. I didn't hear any explosions either. A cinema employee just ran into the hall and told everyone to leave because there was a fire. We all left through the fire exit. My session was in the third hall, but when we walked along the fire passage past the door leading to the second hall, I also noticed that for some reason no one was coming out of there. There were people behind the door or not, I didn’t have time to understand.
When everyone began to descend, Dmitry encountered a woman who was crying and said that she had children upstairs. The woman couldn’t really explain where they were, so the young man began going into all the shops in a row.
And then I heard children's screams. I followed the voice and saw that in one of the stores - or what it was, I couldn’t see in the smoke - three kids were huddled in a corner and crying. In the darkness, I felt around with my hand and came across a hand. It was a boy of about 11 years old, as I later saw. Also by touch, he grabbed two girls by the collar and dragged them to the exit.
When asked if the knowledge gained at the Academy of the Ministry of Emergency Situations helped him, Dmitry replied that he did not know - he just heard a cry for help and went.
Alina Komarek
We must know Heroes!
The tragedy of Kemerovo. But even in these terrible moments there was a Hero. 17-year-old Dima Polukhin, a cadet of the Cadet Corps of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, was not afraid, did not think about himself, risking his life, saved three children, found and carried them out of the burning shopping center. Hero!
By the way, if you are interested in asking Dima something, he has an account on Ask.fm.
Konstantin Kolabukhov
A resident of Kemerovo, together with an unknown cashier girl, pulled a three-year-old boy out of a burning playroom.
Those killed in the fire at the Winter Cherry in Kemerovo. Tens of thousands of people came to them. Concerned citizens carried flowers, toys, laid out words from candles and spoke words of support to each other, but Moscow was not without scandals. We talked about why in the capital the protests took place on both Manezhnaya and Pushkinskaya squares and what slogans were raised against them.
