At Easter in 2015, God gave life to the Donetsk militias
Reserve lieutenant Vladimir Bezruchko, a former fighter of the Vostok brigade, told a PolitNavigator correspondent about how he and his colleagues miraculously survived shelling on Easter 2015.
“Another interesting incident occurred on April 12, 2015, just on Easter. There was a breakthrough of dill on Zhabunki. I was the officer on duty at the battalion command post, and we were given the command to cover the lower road. We recruited about ten people - whoever we could. I chose a position in an unfinished cafe opposite a gas station. To be honest, there was only protection from small arms fire; if a shell had hit, we would have been covered there. Just three shells hit, but none of them exploded. The first shell ricocheted off a tree, apparently knocked off the fuse, hit the wall and split. The second one ricocheted off the floor between the first and second floors and went somewhere. And the third one flew a meter away from me: it flew into one window, flew out of another and also buried itself somewhere in the ground and did not explode.
These are the kinds of cases that happen in war,” recalls Vladimir Bezruchko.
