"Show your son!"
Mother confidently identified her son-river on video from Ukraine. The command assured that the son was in the unit, and then stopped answering calls
- On February 27, I was going to work, I had a night shift. And then SMS comes: "I am an officer of the Ukrainian army, do you know where your son is?" And his name, patronymic, surname, date of birth are indicated - all this. And further: "It is in captivity in Ukraine." The photo was sent where he was with blindfolded, but I immediately recognized him. And then they called the video, he was already with an open face, and let us talk. I am the first thing I asked: "Son, did you sign a contract?" He said: "No, mother, he did not sign."
Lyuba sits by the window, the sun beats out the window, her tears are almost invisible. Node of resin hair and chiseled profile. She lives in Sokol - a small town near Vologda.
Four children: two girls and two boys. Dania is medium. His photographs in military uniform stand on the shelves. Many photos. Danya did not strive for the army, but did not mow. Until the beginning of February, he called home regularly. And he went to the exercises, and returned. After the demobilization, he wanted to enter the medical - "on a neurosurgeon." And he also said: when I return, I will live for two weeks for two weeks, and then we will be with Zhenya, ourselves. Zhenya is a bride, he did not introduce her mother with her for a long time, hidden. Now Zhenya, along with any storming military enlistment offices, seeking the return of the ordinary from captivity. "Well done she!" - says Lyuba, shaking the ashes.
The daughter -in -law Anastasia - the wife of the eldest son of Andrei - also from the first minutes, as soon as the word “captivity” sounded, next to the mother -in -law - calls out all possible instances and offends their thresholds.
From the balcony of the typical house you can see the pipe of the plant where Lyuba goes to work. Far - we need to ride on two buses, walks in the summer - saves. While the son served, I recruited more.
Now the boss gave a vacation, because everything that Daniel’s fate depends on, to speak with his mother purely in the reception hours.
- He never wanted to upset me: he always has “everything is fine”. Such a person, the character is iron. And now he says that everyone, they say, is good, do not offend, do not beat. And how to return it to me, how to pull it out of there? - She drinks her soluble coffee, looks into the void.
The conversation with her son, confirming his captivity, Lyuba recorded on the video. This is its main evidence. It was already at the mother in her arms already when, on the phone, they assured that Daniel in the location did not leave anywhere.
Then they stopped taking the phone in units, according to her. The bride Zhenya, as the Vorobyovs tell, found the phone of the commander of the military unit, he promised to clarify the fate of the ordinary and call back. Since then, has not taken the phone, only cheerful music instead of beeps. On this, all communication with the part ended. The only one who came to meet with the mother of a soldier himself is the head of the district.
“Written requests were sent to the military and district prosecutors, the command of the Western Military District, the FSB, to the military unit ... We were in the military registration and enlistment office, in the military prosecutor’s office, in the Red Cross,” Lawyer Anna Smirnova lists, helping Lyubov Vorobyeva free of charge. - In the regional branch of the Red Cross, they really undertook to help: they accepted us, sent our appeal to the Moscow Red Cross Committee, from where it should go to the international department that is engaged in prisoners of war.
There is no official confirmation of the capture of the ordinary Vorobyov from the Ministry of Defense. But there is no refutation. In fact,
If all this is a fake, neural network, computer graphics, sabotage - present the mother of a living and healthy son.
From the statement of Lyubov Vorobyova to the military unit:
“I ask you to find my son, tell me about his whereabouts and health. I ask you to urgently take measures to return my son to the territory of the Russian Federation. I ask you to verify the legality of its involvement in the military operation in Ukraine and report the results of such an audit. ”
Daniil was waiting for the house in July. To return in his room, they made repairs on their own. What two weeks, she will not let him go anywhere, let them live here with Zhenya.
- The more the family is, the better. I will not give him to any hospital. Here I go out myself, I’ll put it on my feet. 18 years ago - he was two years old - we did not get out of hospitals, he was tormented by obstructive bronchitis. Nothing helped. And I then froze it, and now I will re -make it.
Nastya and Tanya - Daniil's sisters - argue who to go to the store. Tanya, when she found out about what happened to her brother, threw work in St. Petersburg, rushed home. Nastya in the 7th grade. He says the teachers roared in his voice, learning about Dan. He is remembered at school. They gathered in learning about what had happened, and the guys from the technical school.
Lyuba jokes that his son Andrei brought up Tanya, and Daniel - Nastya. As soon as she lingered after school, the whole area lifted him on her ears. Now Daniel is somewhere far away, and Nastya is none to persuade not to skip.
Where exactly in Ukraine he was captured and where he is now, Lyuba does not know. From a message from an unfamiliar Ukrainian issue, only about the transfer of Daniel to the disposal of the Military Police of Ukraine.
- The part is silent: not a word, nor half a word from there. This is indifference and indifference to our children - not only to my son - it is amazing. I gave them my son to fulfill the duty to the homeland ...
When the first messages about the fellow countryman appeared in the networks, mud, a fetid slide poured on the sparrows. They were accused of constructing fakes, panic.
The wave came down only when the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation officially recognized the participation of conscripts in the "special operation".
But the pressure began:
“There were no direct threats, but it was probably lowered from above - not to disseminate information about Daniel’s captivity,” Anna Smirnova believes. - ~~ b ~~ hi calls with tips not to accept journalists. Nobody forbade complaining and writing statements, it was felt that they were afraid of public resonance, the release of information outside the family and the region.
Nevertheless, the whole falcon already knows the story of Daniel and the good half of the region. On social networks, volunteers created a group of assistance, exchange information. Lyuba asks about the exchange of prisoners - the information skips in unofficial sources, while the official - neither in Russia nor in Ukraine - they have not yet confirmed any exchange. Lyuba hopes that if conscripts, as the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation claims, began to return with the advanced, they will begin the exchange process. And all her children will be with her again.
- I always wanted a lot of children, because I myself grew up in a boarding school. I wanted them a happy fate. I knew that Dania would always be next to me. How can I return it home, tell me? What to do?
There is a TV in the room, on the screen reports about the triumph of Russian weapons. Lyuba turns back, holding back:
-Danya will return where he will go. I will smash it. Just imagine how many mothers are praying now? God can’t do it, probably.
