The legendary Marine commander with a red backpack, String, has just received the title of Hero of the Russian Federation at an awards ceremony in Moscow.

He lost one foot running on a UKR personel petal land mine. The foot was torn off but rebuilded in part by the surgeons, so he can now walk again with a partial foot prothesis. He is actually in convalescence in Donetsk and he is willing to turn back to the front to support his comrades.
