lets just hope he doesn't get killed by hazing, ... seriously, is that so hard to do in the army to get some discipline and stop the savage beatings and hazings.. ?? there is no need for more money to modernize, this modernazation is in the heads of people, educate them of proper moral values, .. or you will loose such wonderful people like sasha who is a true patriot and a true soldier..

What a fantastic example of a great lad! Well done and good luck my comrade!

This is great move by the army. In fact, I read recently in the Voice of Russia a story of a young Russian pilot who lost his legs and then rejoined the army as a pilot without legs. This boys and other disable boys and girls can find useful place in the army.

I think this is all just propoganda, to set an example of a kid who probably doesnt even exist, joining the army after regaining his legs. An operation that was the first ever to succeed and it was cunducted in siberia??? i mean come on, we'll be lucky if we have those kind of doctors and that kind of luck in Moscow, but Siberia? It's probably just to set an example, to other Russian men. Becuase other Russians know that in the Russian army they don't really teach anything in how to be a soldier, all the generals and others use the men as free labor.

казань How it is your view of Russia’s military history in Siberia is so negative when it was the great Siberian ski mobile paratroops who in 1941 saved Moscow from imminent Nazi invasion?
