A five-year-old boy has rescued his sister, who broke under ice covering a Siberian river. He grabbed her by the hood with his teeth and did not allow her sink for 30 minutes until help arrived.
While Danila Zaitsev was lying on the ice edge, another girl ran home and called for her brother, 15-year-old Ivan Zhamyanov. The teen managed to fish out Danila’s little sister, who is just six years old, out of the cold water.
Then he brought her home and performed first aid on the freezing exhausted child. By the time the first adult arrived all participants of the dangerous adventure were safe and sound.
Ironically, little Danila doesn’t remember saving his sister’s life. The fear for her was so intense that the memory just slipped away from him.
Now rescue services in the Republic of Buryatia, where the incident happened, want to award both boys for their courage.

Bigfoot saved from drowning in icy Siberian riverA Russian hunter claims he has saved something that can only be described as Bigfoot from a frozen river in central Siberia. |
This story reminds me of another heroic story of a Russian/Soviet soldier. During WWII, in one of the heavy fighting in Stalingrad, a private whose name I cannot remember [see doc Road to Stalingrad]Russian/Soviet solder crawled under a heavy enemy fire during bitter fighting in Stalingrad. His mission was to find where the communication wire was severed and restore it. At the very moment when he found where the wire was severed, he was mortally wounded. The soldier had the courage to use his teeth to connect the wire and the communication was restored. Russian has heroic people and a heroic history. What I want to know is why thousands of children from Siberia are allowed to be adopted in foreign countries? I am certain that there are many courageous future citizens of Russia among the tens of thousands of Russian children from Siberia who are adopted in foreign countries every year. End the adoption of Russian children in foreign countries and celebrate the heroic deeds of your children and future citizens.
