Seven great feats of little heroes.

Artyom Sivskovsky lives with his mother in Kondratovo, but spends the summer with his grandmother in the village of Bolshaya Usa. He has friends there, with whom he was relaxing on the shore of the pond on that sunny July day. The steep bank is encased in concrete, and there is a pipe near the water, which vacationers sometimes climb to jump into the pond with splashes.

“I was walking along the pipe and saw a boy in the water,” says Artyom. — The current washed him against the grate, which prevents debris from the pond from falling into the drain. At first I thought that the boy was holding his breath, then he turned over a little, and I saw that his lips were blue and foam was coming from his mouth. I decided to jump."

Artyom did not yet understand what happened to the boy, but it was clear that the child urgently needed help. There were no adults on the shore.

Artyom is good at sports; he used to go swimming and go to the pool. It was not difficult for him to swim to the boy, dive after him and start moving towards the shore.

“The boy is heavy, I can’t reach him, and the surface on the shore is slippery,” Artyom continues the story. “Everyone is standing and watching, but I can’t get it out.” I started screaming for help. In the end, they pulled me out, didn’t carry me to the clearing, and laid me right there on the concrete. We had no time for this anymore, we had to do something.”

The child was not breathing. Thoughts flashed through Artyom’s head: “What to do?” He was very afraid that the boy would not wake up. Correct solution it came quickly: the young man began to press on the boy’s chest, pumping water out of his lungs. It took little time, just a few seconds. Artyom says that life safety lessons at school did not help him as much as the pictures about how to help a drowning person that he saw on the Internet.

“I hear the water rising. I understand what will happen now. That’s what happened,” says Artyom. “He spat out the water, woke up, came to his senses.”

Artyom's friend called ambulance, but at that time there was no car in the village; it was on call in another locality.

The ambulance never arrived in Bolshaya Usa. A local paramedic, who was not on duty that day, was called to the scene of the incident. By this time the child had come to his senses. Later, the paramedic told Artyom’s grandmother that if the young man had not rushed to help, then 10-year-old Sasha (name changed) would not have been saved.

The child's parents were at work when they were informed about the incident. The injured boy was taken home by neighbors and family friends. Sasha did not tell Artyom how he ended up in the water and what exactly happened. They did not know each other before, and after the July events they did not become friends, although they saw each other several times. Sasha and his mother thanked Artyom for saving them.

“Sasha doesn’t know how to swim. He was walking or sitting on a pipe, and then he slipped, apparently, and fell unsuccessfully,” suggests Artyom’s mother, Svetlana.

"Modest guy"

Neither Artyom nor his grandmother told their mother about what happened on the shore of the pond. In July, while her son was visiting Bolshaya Usa, she went on vacation. The mother of the rescued child informed Svetlana about her feat.

“I came from the south, I just came home after the train and then Sasha’s mother called me. She began to thank me for my son. At first I was in shock. And I’m still thinking, why don’t Artyom and his grandmother call me and ask how I got there?” admits Svetlana.

She assumes that Artyom did not call so as not to worry her, but wanted to tell her when her mother would arrive in Bolshaya Usa. There was not much time left to wait: the incident at the pond happened the day before her arrival.

“I was confused, there was no time for this,” Artyom says embarrassedly.

“He’s a very modest guy, he doesn’t like to talk a lot about himself,” he smiles. Artyom's class teacher Nina Pastukhova.

Having already arrived in the village, Svetlana began asking her son about what happened. Artyom was a man of few words, but his grandmother, who was the first in the family to learn about her grandson’s feat, recounted the events, trying not to miss out on the details.

“My mother even cried when she told me. And then I started crying too. I was so surprised, and then proud that my child did this,” admits Svetlana.

The next day after the incident at the pond, Artyom was invited to the village administration, where he was presented with a letter of gratitude. At the end of August, the mother of the rescued Sasha called the Kondratov school, where Artyom studies, and told about his feat. If not for this call, no one would have known about the act. She also reported to the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Emergency Situations for the Perm Territory.

“It was such a feeling, it just gave me goosebumps,” Nina Pastukhova recalls when she learned about her student’s feat. - Tears. Moreover, the mother of the rescued boy called.”

And now, talking about Artyom, Nina Pastukhova is noticeably excited.

“What could we do from the school? Wrote thank you letter Artyom's mother. And then they called me from the Kondratovo administration. It turned out that the Ministry of Emergency Situations requested all the information about him for the award. But it won’t happen soon; all documents are done through Moscow.”

Graduates of the Kondratov school learned about Artyom’s action. They invited Nina Pastukhova to send an application for the “PEACE Prize (Youth - Initiative - Development). The application reached the finals and in November Artyom and Nina Pastukhova will go to the award ceremony in St. Petersburg.

“There was a vote on the website,” explains the class teacher. — We held a line to tell schoolchildren about Artyom and ask them to vote for him. There was silence on the line. Grades 6-7, the most receptive age, listened most attentively.”

“Everyone should do this”

“Artyom likes to play sports,” Svetlana says about her son. “He has been involved in fire-applied sports for four years now. Now I'm into wrestling. He wants to build up his muscles.”

“I’m trying to build a sports career,” says Artyom. — I like mixed martial arts, I have been involved in judo since childhood. He has a very good trainer in fire-applied sports, I like training, but I changed my mind about going to the Ministry of Emergency Situations, it’s quite a dangerous job.”

Artyom is not thinking about career plans yet. This year he will have to take the OGE, he chose physics and social studies because they are needed for admission to many colleges. Artyom's favorite subject is social studies.

“I like to talk and learn about politics, but I don’t want to become a politician. I don't do any active activities at school. Only studies and sports,” says Artyom.

“He takes part in everything! In relay races and events. A very sympathetic guy,” Artem characterizes him classroom teacher Nina Petukhova.

“Since childhood, my mother pushed me to good deeds, helped me, nurtured me best qualities so that I can be decent, responsible, brave and kind. I believe that every honest citizen of our Motherland should do what I did,” the award website quotes Artyom as saying.

We switched to formula at seven months, since I ran out of milk, my friend advised me to take Materna "Extra Care". I am very pleased with my choice, the mixture is good, dissolves quickly and easily, the child eats with pleasure. Since I try everything before giving it to my baby, I also tried this mixture, I personally liked it, it has a pleasant sweetish taste and good consistency. With this mixture we grow well and we don’t have tummy problems! We took the mixture from the baby1care website.

This is a case where the road to hell is paved with good intentions. By protecting your child’s psyche from feelings of guilt, you do not give him the opportunity to repent. Only a feeling of remorse, a feeling of regret for one’s bad actions, keeps one from repeating them. Instead of experiencing both the feeling of guilt and the feeling of loss with your child, you lied to him, you inspired him: “You are not to blame for anything, you are not to blame for anything.” This is how egoists are raised. Now, every time he acts badly, your son will repeat to himself: “I am not to blame for anything!” But your son has a conscience - he KNEW and UNDERSTOOD that the animal died, and that he was the reason for it. But he had no one to share his experiences with. You lied to your son - don't be surprised when he lies to you. You have once freed him from the feeling of guilt - do not be surprised when your grown, adult son refuses to admit his guilt in any way and take responsibility for his actions

In Omsk, new details have become known about the story of the rescue of two drowning girls who fell from an embankment into the Irtysh - a 16-year-old schoolboy was on his way to take an exam at the time of the emergency.

As reported by the press service of the Ministry of Emergency Situations for the Omsk Region, 16-year-old Alexander Ergin is finishing 9th grade and now lives in the Center social adaptation minors of the Omsk region "Nadezhda". Let us remind you that Alexander Ergin helped pull two drowning girls out of the water who fell into the river from the steps of a flooded observation deck on the embankment on May 31 at about 14:00.

As it turned out, at the time of the emergency, Alexander Ergin was traveling with a specialist from the center for social work Alexander Sergeev by car for the exam. Hearing cries for help, the accompanying people got out of the car, and Sasha rushed to the water.

“I didn’t have time to look back when Sasha had already taken off his clothes and jumped into the water. Rustam and I also wanted to rush after him, but then we decided that we would be more useful on the shore. We ran for the car cables to get everyone out of the Irtysh,” the Ministry of Emergency Situations quotes Nadezhda center employee Alexander Sergeev, who, together with driver Rustam Nurdinov, threw off the car cables to get the father and girls out of the river.

In the water, according to the Ministry of Emergency Situations, 16-year-old Sasha grabbed the youngest daughter of Vyacheslav Karpyuk, 5-year-old Milana. “Having caught on the wall, he kept it afloat. At that moment, the car cable was thrown off him. He tied it around the child and climbed out of the water with the girl. The cable was then thrown to the man. From weakness he could not do anything. Then Sasha jumped into the water again and helped the head of the family and his daughter get out of the water. There were a lot of people around, men helped the driver and teacher of the Nadezhda center hold and pull the rope,” the Ministry of Emergency Situations reported.

[Updated at 14:10]“When I jumped, I thought that the girl wouldn’t choke. Then [after it was all over] I was really shocked by what happened,” admitted the 16-year-old student. He added that if he feels like a hero, it’s only a little. “But I’m more glad that everyone is alive and well,” says Alexander Ergin.

[Updated at 14:55] The 43-year-old father of the teenager, Andrei Yergin, said that his son called him yesterday and told him what happened.

“I know his character, and I just realized that he wouldn’t have done anything differently. You can see the person right away. I, of course, praised him,” the man said and admitted that he was raising his sons in strictness. Omich said that he divorced his wife several years ago and now has a different family. The sons, Sergei and Alexander, live separately, in a house with their grandmother. WITH new family Sasha doesn't live. His father admitted that due to his susceptibility to bad influence and constant leaving home, he turned to the Nadezhda social adaptation center. That's why his son Sasha is there now.

“He’s a smart guy, he understands everything, but my educational conversations are enough for 2 days. Now he is at a turning point, so it is very important that he choose the right way", the boy's father admitted.

Let us remember that on June 1, in a conversation with NGS.OMSK, the father of his daughters recalled the events of that day and admitted that if 16-year-old Sasha had not arrived on time, he would not have coped. Chapter large family I am grateful to the schoolboy and all the caring people who at that moment on the embankment helped save him and the children.

Heroes live among us. Young heroes. Every adult would envy their courage. Life had time to test their strength, and they bravely passed this test. We have selected for you stories about children who, risking themselves, saved other people's lives.

Nikita Antonov from Primorye only 10 years old. In December of this year, he risked his life to save a girl who had fallen through the ice. Nikita was ice skating with a friend and two girlfriends on the Astrakhanka River. When the children returned home, the thin ice cracked and the girls found themselves in icy water. The young hero pulled one out and then jumped into the water after the other. Unfortunately, the second girl Nikita could not be saved. The boy himself barely escaped from the ice captivity.

As Nikita admits, at that moment he did not think twice and certainly did not fear for his life.

The hero gave vent to his feelings only when it was all over: when he reached the shore, the boy began to cry...

Alexandra Ershova from Tver I was in second grade when I accomplished a real feat. In 2004, during a terrible disaster at the Moscow Transvaal water park, Sasha saved a three-year-old girl, a complete stranger to her, from death. When the vaults of the water park collapsed, children were trapped between concrete slabs.

Being up to her neck in water, Sasha held the child in her arms until rescuers arrived.

For about an hour and a half, the schoolgirl consoled the girl, not noticing that she herself had a broken arm.

In 2013 Vladislav Filippov from Krymsk rescued my grandmother from a flooded house. At night, the boy woke up because water was dripping on his face. I had to get out of the house. Vladik woke up his grandmother, Lyubov Shershneva, and together with her tried to open the door. This was not possible due to strong water pressure.

Then a 9-year-old boy broke a window with his bare hands, and so that his grandmother could get out of the trap, he broke
frame.

Lyubov Shershneva and her grandson climbed the stairs to the roof and waited until the morning for help. In the morning, a neighbor helped Vladik and his grandmother move to a safe place, from where the hero was taken to the hospital with cut and bleeding wounds.

Summer 2012 Ksenia Perfilyeva from Kostroma region saved the life of a drowning boy. Two six-year-old neighbor boys were splashing in the river when suddenly one of them began to drown. There was no one to call for help - there were no adults nearby.

Sixth-grader Ksyusha rushed into the water, in a matter of seconds swam to the floundering boy and pulled him to shore in her arms.

The child was not breathing, and Ksyusha, remembering her life safety lessons, began to give him artificial respiration. The boy came to his senses and was taken to the hospital an hour later. Ksyusha says that everyone in her place would do the same, and if a similar situation happens again, she will not hesitate to rush to help.

Anton Chusov from Gus-Khrustalny was 11 years old when in the summer of 2011 he saved two drowning girls. The boy had just learned to swim, and under the supervision of his grandmother he bathed in the river. Next to him, girls were floating on a car tire. One of them slipped and began to sink. The grandmother on the shore began to call for help, and Anton rushed to save the drowning woman. The hero, diving, pushed her to the shore and handed her over to her grandmother. At this time, the second girl slipped into the water out of fear and began to drown. And Anton came to the rescue again. This time he helped the drowning woman climb onto a car tire and swim to the shore.

Anton doesn’t think he accomplished a feat: “I’m no hero, I’m not even the best swimmer in the class.”

First-grader Ekaterina Michurova in the winter of 2013, she saved a classmate who had fallen through the ice. The children were skating on the ice of the channels not far from the house. Suddenly the boy fell through the ice. Katya, without hesitation, came to the rescue. Several times the girl tried to pull her classmate out by the sleeve, but the boy again slipped into the icy water. The ice was cracking and it was very dangerous to be nearby. Katya grabbed the boy by the hand and pulled him out of the water.

When asked if it was scary, the heroine answered: “Yes. I just thought - if Amir drowned, his mother would cry very much, and I would lose a friend.”

Seven-year-old Vlad Morozov from the city of Navashino in the summer of 2011, he brought his grandmother, Lidia Ivanovna, out of a burning hut. A schoolboy came to stay with her for the summer. At night, during a thunderstorm, ball lightning flew into a village hut. A fire started, and the blind grandmother could not get out of the house. At that moment Vladik ran up to her and said: “Girl, give me your hand, I’ll take you out.”

While the grandson and his grandmother were getting out of the burning hut, molten plastic dripped onto his back, but the boy did not cry.

Immediately after Lidia Ivanovna and Vladik left the house, an explosion was heard - it was a gas cylinder. Fortunately, the grandmother and grandson were at a safe distance by that time.
