“Essence Of Time” combat unit. The Beginning. Petka
When I just arrived to Donetsk, I didn’t know what I will do. I had only one desire – to be useful. This was the mood that I had when doing any kind of work: be it doing the dishes or unloading ammunition or field rations, I was thinking that at this very moment someone is sitting there in the trenches, someone is dying for us.
By participating in the agitation brigade – talking to people, who live under shelling each day, by urging the men to join the militia – I always felt that I was inferior. What right do I have to tell something to these people without going there myself, without seeing the grief and the hardships that they will have to go through in the militia? This was probably the moment when I reached the decision to join the combat unit.
