Alexey Klimov lost his sight in the Chechen war. For almost 3 days he was a "load of 200", but survived, rose to the rank of major, and now he is still a deputy, president of several organizations.
Sergey Vladimirovich Klimov is a hero of our time. He lost his sight in the war, but did not give up, but received a higher education, now works in the society of veterans, is a deputy of the city of Kaluga.
Combat biography
Alexey Vladimirovich does not like to write what year he was born. Probably, he thinks that those who are interested in his person are enough to know that he was born on August 17 in the city of Kaluga.
During the first Chechen war, Alexei himself asked for a hot spot. He sent 22 reports with a request to send him to Chechnya. The military authorities approved the request of the 19-year-old boy.
When Alexei was driving with his comrades in an infantry fighting vehicle, a frog mine exploded next to them. The flight range of its fragments is up to 100 meters. As a friend of Alexei Klimov, Alexander Kabanov, who was on the second BMP, later told, when the smoke cleared, he saw Lyokha. He was wounded in the head, but was conscious.
Then Kabanov began to give him artificial respiration, just in case. The arrived doctors summed up that everything …
The intelligence chief told Alexander Kabanov to go to Klimov's parents and tell how their son died. The funeral also came to the family. It is good that the husband and wife did not have time to read it, because at first they saw a letter from the hospital, which was later written by Klimov's friends in the ward.
Resurrection
And after that explosion, Alexei was wrapped in foil, laid next to the other dead guys. In this form, in a refrigerator car, Klimov traveled for almost three days. But he does not remember anything, since he was unconscious.
When the dead were brought to Rostov, vigilant orderlies rescued the young man here. It seemed to them that the corpse was somehow strange. After all, his legs and arms are bent. And instead of sealing the zinc coffin, they called in an experienced gray-haired surgeon.
This is how the resurrection began. Alexey underwent several operations, as a result of which titanium plates were placed in his head. The young man was completely blind.
But he himself was a strong spirit, and the guys, the commanders helped.
Comrades
When the 19-year-old guy was lying in tubes and all in bandages in the hospital, the guys who came to visit him ordered: "Klimov, get up!" Then the guy jumped out of bed, then went with friends to the dining room. Then he ate for the first time on his own.
When Alexey recovered, he went to study, received a higher military education. The combat officer told how he shot in practical lessons. Alexey, with the help of a snowball, realized where the target was, then pulled the pin out of the grenade and waited 2 seconds. Only then did he leave her. He knew that the grenade explodes in 3 seconds, and the Chechens sometimes managed to throw it back. Therefore, the habit has developed to throw a grenade at the last second. But this time, that the check was pulled, was remembered for a long time by everyone who was present at that practical lesson.
Now the famous Hero of our time, Alexei Vladimirovich Klimov, is an example to follow. He made a great contribution to the development of the "Combat Brotherhood" organization, where former military personnel share their experience, support each other and have an interesting time.
