One of the guys, Evgeniy Blaze, on June 15, 2023, while in the company of friends at the reservoir in the village of Malenkoye, Simferopol region, rushed to the aid of his drowning and already losing consciousness friend Refatov Aziz and, risking his life, pushed him to the shore. Evgeniy himself, weakened and swallowing water, sank to the bottom and spent 7-10 minutes under water. Ambulance workers took the boy to the intensive care unit of the Republican Children’s Clinical Hospital in critical condition, where he was in a coma for 5 days. Evgeniy is currently undergoing rehabilitation.
At the end of May 2022, Vladimir Tikhomirov, walking with friends in the area of the North Crimean Canal near the village of Plodorodny, Krasnogvardeisky district, rushed to the aid of a drowning girl. Having reached the bank of the canal, Vova handed the child over to his friends, who helped him pull her out of the water. Adults passing by helped Vladimir himself get out.
The award ceremony was attended by Chairman of the State Council of the Republic of Crimea Vladimir Konstantinov, Head of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia for the Republic of Crimea, Lieutenant General of the Internal Service Arkady Ozhigin.
