A mobilized soldier from Kuzbass posted an advert looking for a bride. Not because he wants to get married. But because he wants his wife to receive money for his death.

In October, a resident of the city of Belovo posted an appeal in one of the public groups in the Kemerovo Region about finding a bride. The author wrote that he was mobilized at the end of September, and since he has no relatives, he would like his insurance payments to go to the person who needs them.

"I would like to change the life of one of the city's residents. We all understand that the " SVO " is a dangerous mission. I don't want to give insurance payments to obscure funds, I want to give them to my fellow countrywoman," wrote 35-year-old Vasily Timofeev.

He did not set any conditions for the candidates and simply asked them to leave a phone number under the entry so that they could call and agree on a date for their arrival at the training center in Omsk.

"I probably called 10-15 people. Some were underage girls, some were boys. The tenth time, Nadezhda answered. I told her the whole story, she supported me, understood my situation. Her fate is also difficult: after the accident at Listvyaznaya, she was left without a husband," Timofeev told Mash Siberia.

As the Telegram channel writes, Nadezhda is a single mother raising three children. After the first call, Vasily and Nadezhda talked several more times. "We are adults, and we both understand why and for what purpose this is necessary. I mainly asked her for information for documents," Timofeev said.

I did not choose a wife, but a person whom I want to help in life. So that later they would remember me with a kind word. She is a good woman, close to me in spirit. She was the first to adequately respond to my request, so the choice fell on her.
