I was born in Novosibirsk. My parents had their own little shop in the city center. My older brother joined the military as soon as he was of age. He wanted to escape the sad and boring life. Well, he was the only one seeing it like that. I always had joy in life, many friends and a lot stuff on my mind I wanted to experience.

My brother, Timur, is and always will be my best friend. Today he is missing and I do think that this fact is indeed one of the reasons I joined the
Russian Armed Forces, like he did before me.
I hope I will find him or anyone who saw him or knows where he is. I am the only one left... I won't let anyone declare him dead... not now.

Back in the days, Timur and I always helped out in the shop. If we did not help, we hung around in the city center. Timur is two years older and therefore it was no surprise that we had the same friends. Drinking, smoking, dancing, party. That is what we did.
He always looked out for me.
I never got into any trouble.
On the downside, no guy wanted to date me because they have been afraid of him. Timur never let me date anyone at this time. If he knew who I was dating, he would have beaten the poor guy up badly.

We had dreams.
We wanted to travel... wanted to see the world.
We both knew that this would never happen.

Timur turned eighteen and had to join the military. He actually couldn't wait and was very happy about it.

In 2015 he got sent to Syria. He never came back.
I never heard anything from or about him.
You know... I love my country and their people and because of that and because of Timur, I joined The Russian Armed Forces end of 2016.
First I was stationed in Syria too, for about 6 month.
Next I was stationed near Ukraine's border.
And now I am going to somwhere in Norway.

My mother and father dead. My brother missing.
I have nothing to lose so I stay with my chosen brothers and sisters.
When trouble comes, it's your family that supports you.

I am driven to find my brother... and at the same time I want to do my part in showing the world what real power and strength is.
