Battle for Avdeevka and help on the front line: severe everyday life of military medics DNI
separate detachment of the militia DNR "Danube" (the former name - "East") bore the brunt of the defense Avdiivka industrial zone. Correspondents Federal news agency become more familiar with the work of these heroic military medics.
One of the first people who have to meet anyone who wishes to serve in the armed forces of the DNI, - a psychologist. It determines whether a person is suitable for military service. Of course, there is a psychologist and detachment "Danube", only to look at this cute blonde difficult to recognize a man capable of one word to put an end to the career of any soldier, whose behavior seems suspicious.
Cabinet units psychologist even more unusual than his mistress: nothing in common with similar places in other parts, except that the signs on the doors. It does not have tables with chairs and hung posters everywhere standard. Instead, the room is divided into several zones. In the first set, soft chairs for group sessions.
"We decided to refuse to perform the tests at the tables, instead write on the tablets the men sitting in a semicircle. Here we conduct group exercises - for example, before going into detail we are working on the elaboration fighters have an even emotional state ", - explained to us the psychologist.
In the second area with a sofa for confidential conversations, and the third, a relaxation area, generally follows the coastline - with sand, shells and aquariums.
Then we went to the clinic division. Here the situation is more familiar, reminiscent of a hospital. However, at the entrance, we blocked the way a nurse who said that without the permission of the Faith Yurievna doctor allowed us not to shoot. Some time waiting for her at the door, because it formed a small queue of soldiers - who had come for help, someone to inspect.
Menacing-looking men, having appeared in the doorway, began to crumple, to the doctor all accessed only by name and patronymic. Seeing this picture, we have already begun to doubt - whether to allow us to take strict doctor agree whether to answer the questions. However, we came out to meet Vera Y. was a young girl, also very tiny. But order is maintained by a model at her office. She told us her story:
"I graduated from the Medical University during the war. Translation into Ukrainian territory as argued in the Ministry in Kiev, I did not want to, then received a diploma DNR sample. When I started looking for a job then I heard that part of the required doctors and decided to try it. Here I am for about two years. I like it, although the specifics of felt - war is everywhere, even all the talk about the war ", - she says.
Another one medic squad we found right on the hospital bed, reading a book. His name is Alex, he was brought here straight from Avdiivka industrial zone.
"I have worked at the site, which is not very well known, and when the shelling started, the time to look around was gone. I jumped into the nearest trench, but not too successfully landed and damaged ligament. As soon get better - will go back again and I will treat children "- he said.
Shared memories of Alex and how he became a military physician.
"I have a specialized medical education before the war worked as a massage therapist. In the army, I had not served, and I do not like guns. But when the war started, then went to serve consciously to protect native city "- he adds.
Here are just a paramedic with the call sign "Trinity", we are not caught in the arrangement of the group. Now she, along with his unit on the front line. But we have learned about its unknown side - it turned out that she personally painted division club, on its walls depicting warriors from different times, from ancient to contemporary heroes soldier in body armor and with a gun.
When the material was already almost ready, we were invited to one of the tactical exercises mouth detachment, where we met, perhaps, the most famous military medic republic - paramedic Catherine Panfilov, which for their courage and dedication was awarded the title "Hero of the NPT."
The proving ground was quite noisy - a company rehearsed the offensive with the support of armored vehicles, and conducted live firing of rifles, machine guns and grenade launchers. But Katie on these exercises was another problem - she taught men the right to provide first aid and make the comrades from the battlefield. And when, after the end of the training the soldiers gathered at the fire, it became apparent even a role of Katya - is it loud hail immediately cease all strife of men with each other, and a barrel of burning wood, around which sat the military, becoming similar to the hearth, around which gathered the family.
Thus, these are peaceful people, most of whom are women, not only to save the life and health of the soldiers, but also bring in the harsh military weekdays little kindness and comfort.
