My parents, after my father's dismissal from the army, remained to live in Ukraine. I made an attempt to transfer to the Ukrainian army. Luckily for me, it was unsuccessful.

In the Rostov brigade.
Three of us came - me, a conscript German and a soldier Zhuravlev. The brigade had just left Azerbaijan and was housed in tents in an open field not far from Aksai. The officers and soldiers of the brigade fought more with everyday difficulties than they were engaged in combat training.
