In an act of unlimited devotion and dedication, to the bitter end, an elderly teacher insisted on remaining with his students. He protected them, bandaged their wounds, and with his death, saved their lives. Helluva brave man. He gave his all for the freedom of others. And what an outstanding example he set for the others. That is a story that will not be forgotten in Russia.

CB, Who says they don't make heroes anymore? This man should be remembered until the end of time for such valor in the face of death.
