We present to your attention the most heroic domestic deeds committed by our children. These are stories about child heroes who, at the cost of their lives and health, without hesitation rushed to the rescue of those who needed help.

Zhenya Tabakov

Most young hero Russia. A real man who was only 7 years old. The only seven-year-old recipient of the Order of Courage. Unfortunately, posthumously.

The tragedy broke out on the evening of November 28, 2008. Zhenya and his twelve-year-old older sister Yana were alone at home. An unknown man called at the door, who introduced himself as a postman who allegedly brought a registered letter.

Yana did not suspect anything was wrong and allowed him to come in. Entering the apartment and closing the door behind him, instead of a letter, the “postman” took out a knife and, grabbing Yana, began to demand that the children give him all the money and valuables. Having received an answer from the children that they did not know where the money was, the criminal demanded that Zhenya look for them, and he dragged Yana into the bathroom, where he began to rip off her clothes. Seeing how he rips off his sister's clothes, Zhenya grabbed a kitchen knife and, in desperation, stuck it in the criminal's lower back. Howling in pain, he loosened his grip, and the girl managed to run out of the apartment for help. In a rage, the failed rapist, pulling the knife out of himself, began to thrust it into the child (eight stab wounds incompatible with life were counted on Zhenya's body), after which he fled. However, the wound inflicted by Zhenya, leaving behind a bloody trail, did not allow him to escape from the chase.

Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of January 20, 2009 No. For courage and dedication shown in the performance of civic duty Tabakov Evgeny Evgenievich was posthumously awarded the Order of Courage. The order was received by Zhenya's mother Galina Petrovna.

On September 1, 2013, a monument to Zhenya Tabakov was opened in the school yard - a boy driving a kite away from a dove.

Danil Sadykov

A 12-year-old teenager, a resident of the city of Naberezhnye Chelny, died saving a 9-year-old schoolboy. The tragedy occurred on May 5, 2012 on Enthusiasts Boulevard. At about two o'clock in the afternoon, 9-year-old Andrey Churbanov decided to get plastic bottle that fell into the fountain. Suddenly he was shocked, the boy lost consciousness and fell into the water.

Everyone shouted “help”, but only Danil jumped into the water, who at that moment was passing by on a bicycle. Danil Sadykov pulled the victim onto the side, but he himself received a severe electric shock. He died before the ambulance arrived.
Thanks to the selfless act of one child, another child survived.

Danil Sadykov was awarded the Order of Courage. Posthumously. For the courage and dedication shown in saving a person in extreme conditions. The award was presented by the chairman of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation. Instead of her son, the boy's father, Aidar Sadykov, received her.

Maxim Konov and Georgy Suchkov

In the Nizhny Novgorod region, two third-graders rescued a woman who fell into an ice hole. When she was already saying goodbye to life, two boys passed by the pond, returning from school. A 55-year-old resident of the village of Mukhtolova, Ardatovsky district, went to the pond to draw water from the Epiphany hole. The ice hole was already covered with ice, the woman slipped and lost her balance. In heavy winter clothes, she found herself in icy water. Clinging to the edge of the ice, the unfortunate woman began to call for help.

Fortunately, at that moment, two friends Maxim and Georgiy, who were returning from school, were passing by the pond. Noticing the woman, they, without wasting a second, rushed to help. Having reached the ice-hole, the boys took the woman by both hands and pulled her out onto strong ice. The guys accompanied her to the house, not forgetting to grab a bucket and a sled. Arriving doctors examined the woman, provided assistance, she did not need hospitalization.

Of course, such a shock did not pass without a trace, but the woman does not get tired of thanking the guys for staying alive. She gave her rescuers soccer balls and cell phones.

Vanya Makarov

Vanya Makarov from Ivdel is now eight years old. A year ago, he rescued his classmate from the river, who fell through the ice. Looking at this little boy - a little over a meter tall and weighing only 22 kilograms - it's hard to imagine how he alone could pull the girl out of the water. Vanya grew up in an orphanage with his sister. But two years ago he got into the family of Nadezhda Novikova (and the woman already had four of her children). In the future, Vanya plans to go to study at a cadet school in order to become a lifeguard later.

Kirill Daineko and Sergei Skrypnik heard their teacher Natalya Ivanovna calling for help from the dining room, unable to knock down the massive doors. The children rushed to save the teacher. First, they ran into the duty room, grabbed a reinforcing bar that came under their arm and knocked out the window into the dining room with them. Then, through the window opening, the teacher, wounded by glass fragments, was transferred to the street. After that, the schoolchildren discovered that another woman needed help - a kitchen worker, who was overwhelmed by utensils that collapsed from the impact of the blast wave. Having quickly sorted out the blockage, the boys called for help from adults.

Lida Ponomareva

The medal "For Saving the Perishing" will be awarded to the sixth grade student of the Ustvash secondary school of the Leshukonsky district (Arkhangelsk region) Lidia Ponomareva. The corresponding Decree was signed by Russian President Vladimir Putin, the press service of the regional government reports.

In July 2013, a 12-year-old girl saved two seven-year-old children. Lida, ahead of the adults, jumped into the river, first after the drowning boy, and then helped the girl to swim out, who was also carried away by the current far from the shore. One of the guys on land managed to throw a life jacket to the drowning child, for which Lida pulled the girl to the shore.

Lida Ponomareva, the only one of the surrounding children and adults who found themselves at the scene of the tragedy, without hesitation, rushed into the river. The girl risked her own life doubly, because her injured arm was very sore. When the next day after saving the children, the mother and daughter went to the hospital, it turned out that it was a fracture.

Admiring the courage and courage of the girl, the governor of the Arkhangelsk region, Igor Orlov, personally thanked Lida for her brave act over the phone.

At the suggestion of the governor, Lida Ponomareva was presented for a state award.

Alina Gusakova and Denis Fedorov

During the terrible fires in Khakassia, schoolchildren saved three people.
On that day, the girl happened to be near the house of her first teacher. She came to visit a friend who lived next door.

I hear someone screaming, she said to Nina: “I’ll come now,” Alina says about that day. - I see through the window that Polina Ivanovna is shouting: “Help!”. While Alina was saving a school teacher, her house, in which the girl lives with her grandmother and older brother, burned to the ground.

On April 12, in the same village of Kozhukhovo, Tatyana Fedorova, together with her 14-year-old son Denis, came to visit their grandmother. Holiday anyway. As soon as the whole family sat down at the table, a neighbor came running and, pointing to the mountain, called to put out the fire.

We ran up to the fire, started putting it out with rags, - says Rufina Shaimardanova, Denis Fedorov's aunt. - When most of them were extinguished, a very sharp, strong wind blew, and the fire went towards us. We ran to the village, ran into the nearest buildings to hide from the smoke. Then we hear - the fence is cracking, everything is on fire! I could not find the door, my thin brother darted through the crack, and then came back for me. And together we can't find a way out! Smokey, scary! And then Denis opened the door, grabbed my hand and pulled me out, then my brother. I have a panic, my brother has a panic. And Denis reassures: "Calm down Rufa." When we walked, nothing was visible at all, the lenses in my eyes were fused from the high temperature ...

This is how a 14-year-old schoolboy saved two people. He not only helped to get out of the house on fire, but also brought him to a safe place.

Head of the EMERCOM of Russia Vladimir Puchkov presented departmental awards to firefighters and residents of Khakassia, who distinguished themselves in the elimination of massive fires, in the fire station No. 3 of the Abakan garrison of the EMERCOM of Russia. The list of award recipients includes 19 firefighters from the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia, firefighters from Khakassia, volunteers and two schoolchildren from the Ordzhonikidzevsky district - Alina Gusakova and Denis Fedorov.

This is only a small part of the stories about brave children and their unchildish deeds. One post will not be able to contain stories about all the heroes. Not everyone is awarded medals, but this does not make their deed less significant. The most important reward is the gratitude of those whose lives they saved.

Children are heroes - who are they? At every time there were young, fearless boys and girls who risked their lives to save others. In this article we will talk about some of them, starting from the first world war and ending with our time.

The time of the First World War was very difficult for the population Russian Empire and especially for children. After the outbreak of the war, patriotism swept a large number of children's minds. Nicholas 2 issued a decree allowing students to sign up as volunteers. But not only students began to register, but also students of schools, colleges and cadet corps. From their wards, they asked for leave to fight the enemy. In their letters, the children wrote the following lines: "We have nothing that we could help the Motherland, except for our own lives, and we are ready to sacrifice it." So the desire to go to the front became widespread among young children. Every day, newspapers published announcements about the search for missing children who had fled to the war. According to some reports, in September 1914 alone, in Pskov alone, gendarmes removed more than 100 children from trains going to the front. In the war, the guys participated in reconnaissance, helped bring ammunition, and assisted wounded soldiers. Read also the article

Arkady Kamanin - the youngest pilot, 650 sorties at the age of 16

Arkady was born in the family of a famous pilot, Colonel-General of Aviation Nikolai Petrovich Kamanin. During the holidays, Arkasha disappeared at the airfields where his father worked.

Home front children

During the war, there was not a single enterprise where children and teenagers would not work. Mostly children worked on lathes. It did not require special experience or education, but a lot of endurance was needed. Young workers often had to live in barracks at the plant when it came to evacuated enterprises. It was a daily feat that allowed us to quickly increase the pace of production. By the end of 1942, Soviet enterprises reached its pre-war level. Let's remember some children of home front heroes. Anya Karamysheva- young Stakhanovka of the Sverdlovsk Defense Plant. She overfulfilled daily allowance three times. Each new cartridge made by her brought the long-awaited victory closer. Her colleague, a vocational school graduate Lena Kuchko, began to work on the assembly of mortars. She also overfulfilled the norm three times.

The girl risked her own life doubly, because her injured arm was very sore. When the next day after saving the children, the mother and daughter went to the hospital, it turned out that it was a fracture.

Admiring the courage and courage of the girl, the governor of the Arkhangelsk region, Igor Orlov, personally thanked Lida for her brave act over the phone.

At the suggestion of the governor, Lida Ponomareva was presented for a state award.

Alina Gusakova and Denis Fedorov

During the terrible fires in Khakassia, schoolchildren saved three people.

On that day, the girl happened to be near the house of her first teacher. She came to visit a friend who lived next door.

I hear someone screaming, she said to Nina: “I’ll come now,” Alina says about that day. - I see through the window that Polina Ivanovna is shouting: “Help!”. While Alina was saving a school teacher, her house, in which the girl lives with her grandmother and older brother, burned to the ground.

On April 12, in the same village of Kozhukhovo, Tatyana Fedorova, together with her 14-year-old son Denis, came to visit their grandmother. Holiday anyway. As soon as the whole family sat down at the table, a neighbor came running and, pointing to the mountain, called to put out the fire.

We ran up to the fire, started putting it out with rags, - says Rufina Shaimardanova, Denis Fedorov's aunt. - When most of them were extinguished, a very sharp, strong wind blew, and the fire went towards us. We ran to the village, ran into the nearest buildings to hide from the smoke. Then we hear - the fence is cracking, everything is on fire! I could not find the door, my thin brother darted through the crack, and then came back for me. And together we can't find a way out! Smokey, scary! And then Denis opened the door, grabbed my hand and pulled me out, then my brother. I have a panic, my brother has a panic. And Denis reassures: "Calm down Rufa." When we walked, nothing was visible at all, the lenses in my eyes melted from the high temperature ...

This is how a 14-year-old schoolboy saved two people. He not only helped to get out of the house on fire, but also brought him to a safe place.

Head of the EMERCOM of Russia Vladimir Puchkov presented departmental awards to firefighters and residents of Khakassia, who distinguished themselves in the elimination of massive fires, in the fire station No. 3 of the Abakan garrison of the EMERCOM of Russia. The list of award recipients includes 19 firefighters from the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia, firefighters from Khakassia, volunteers and two schoolchildren from the Ordzhonikidzevsky district - Alina Gusakova and Denis Fedorov.

Yulia Korol

13-year-old Julia Korol, an orphan, whose entire wealth lies in her grandmother and brother. She, after the wreck of the canoe, despite the lack of a life jacket, was able to swim out ...

With difficulty, she got up and went for help. At first she held her brother's hand, but her hands unclenched.

She thought he drowned. Near the shore I saw a teenager in the water. He turned out to be dead. For four hours she walked to the nearest village, fell into the river once and swam again. I asked for help from local residents, who began to call the Ministry of Emergency Situations and ran to the shore to save the children ...

She took part in the rescue operation and personally got children out of the water, including those already dead. The instructor tried to save the children, but he almost drowned himself, and she saved the instructor as well. She is 13 years old.

Yulin's brother survived...

Yesterday, Yulia was awarded the departmental medal "For saving those who perish on the waters."

This is only a small part of the stories about brave children and their unchildish deeds. One post will not be able to contain stories about all the heroes. Not everyone is awarded medals, but this does not make their deed less significant. The most important reward is the gratitude of those whose lives they saved.

I think we all lack a description of "our" domestic kind, disinterested and truly heroic deeds. Therefore, I present to your attention stories about hero children who, at the cost of their lives and health, without hesitation rushed to the rescue of those who needed help.

Zhenya Tabakov

The youngest hero of Russia. A real man who was only 7 years old. The only seven-year-old recipient of the Order of Courage. Unfortunately, posthumously.

The tragedy broke out on the evening of November 28, 2008. Zhenya and his twelve-year-old older sister Yana were alone at home. An unknown man called at the door, who introduced himself as a postman who allegedly brought a registered letter.

Yana did not suspect anything was wrong and allowed him to come in. Entering the apartment and closing the door behind him, instead of a letter, the “postman” took out a knife and, grabbing Yana, began to demand that the children give him all the money and valuables. Having received an answer from the children that they did not know where the money was, the criminal demanded that Zhenya look for them, and he dragged Yana into the bathroom, where he began to rip off her clothes. Seeing how he rips off his sister's clothes, Zhenya grabbed a kitchen knife and, in desperation, stuck it in the criminal's lower back. Howling in pain, he loosened his grip, and the girl managed to run out of the apartment for help. In a rage, the failed rapist, pulling the knife out of himself, began to thrust it into the child (eight stab wounds incompatible with life were counted on Zhenya's body), after which he fled. However, the wound inflicted by Zhenya, leaving behind a bloody trail, did not allow him to escape from the chase.

Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of January 20, 2009 No. For courage and dedication shown in the performance of civic duty Tabakov Evgeny Evgenievich was posthumously awarded the Order of Courage. The order was received by Zhenya's mother Galina Petrovna.

On September 1, 2013, a monument to Zhenya Tabakov was opened in the school yard - a boy driving a kite away from a dove.

Danil Sadykov

A 12-year-old teenager, a resident of the city of Naberezhnye Chelny, died saving a 9-year-old schoolboy. The tragedy occurred on May 5, 2012 on Enthusiasts Boulevard. At about two o'clock in the afternoon, 9-year-old Andrei Churbanov decided to get a plastic bottle that had fallen into the fountain. Suddenly he was shocked, the boy lost consciousness and fell into the water.

Everyone shouted “help”, but only Danil jumped into the water, who at that moment was passing by on a bicycle. Danil Sadykov pulled the victim onto the side, but he himself received a severe electric shock. He died before the ambulance arrived.

Thanks to the selfless act of one child, another child survived.

Danil Sadykov was awarded the Order of Courage. Posthumously. For the courage and dedication shown in saving a person in extreme conditions. The award was presented by the chairman of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation. Instead of her son, the boy's father, Aidar Sadykov, received her.

Maxim Konov and Georgy Suchkov

In the Nizhny Novgorod region, two third-graders rescued a woman who fell into an ice hole. When she was already saying goodbye to life, two boys passed by the pond, returning from school. A 55-year-old resident of the village of Mukhtolova, Ardatovsky district, went to the pond to draw water from the Epiphany hole. The ice hole was already covered with ice, the woman slipped and lost her balance. In heavy winter clothes, she found herself in icy water. Clinging to the edge of the ice, the unfortunate woman began to call for help.

Fortunately, at that moment, two friends Maxim and Georgiy, who were returning from school, were passing by the pond. Noticing the woman, they, without wasting a second, rushed to help. Having reached the ice-hole, the boys took the woman by both hands and pulled her out onto strong ice. The guys accompanied her to the house, not forgetting to grab a bucket and a sled. Arriving doctors examined the woman, provided assistance, she did not need hospitalization.

Of course, such a shock did not pass without a trace, but the woman does not get tired of thanking the guys for staying alive. She gave her rescuers soccer balls and cell phones.

Vanya Makarov

Vanya Makarov from Ivdel is now eight years old. A year ago, he rescued his classmate from the river, who fell through the ice. Looking at this little boy - a little over a meter tall and weighing only 22 kilograms - it's hard to imagine how he alone could pull the girl out of the water. Vanya grew up in an orphanage with his sister. But two years ago he got into the family of Nadezhda Novikova (and the woman already had four of her children). In the future, Vanya plans to go to study at a cadet school in order to become a lifeguard later.

Kobychev Maxim

A fire broke out in a private residential building in the village of Zelveno, Amur Region, late in the evening. Neighbors discovered the fire very late, when thick smoke poured from the windows of the burning house. Reporting about the fire, the residents began to extinguish the flames by flooding it with water. By that time things and the walls of the building were burning in the rooms. Among those who ran to help was 14-year-old Maxim Kobychev. Having learned that there were people in the house, he, not at a loss in a difficult situation, entered the house and pulled a disabled woman born in 1929 into the fresh air. Then, risking his own life, he returned to the burning building and carried out a man born in 1972.

Kirill Daineko and Sergey Skripnik

In the Chelyabinsk region, two friends of 12 years showed real courage, saving their teachers from the destruction caused by the fall of the Chelyabinsk meteorite.

Kirill Daineko and Sergei Skrypnik heard their teacher Natalya Ivanovna calling for help from the dining room, unable to knock down the massive doors. The children rushed to save the teacher. First, they ran into the duty room, grabbed a reinforcing bar that came under their arm and knocked out the window into the dining room with them. Then, through the window opening, the teacher, wounded by glass fragments, was transferred to the street. After that, the schoolchildren discovered that another woman needed help - a kitchen worker, who was filled up with utensils that collapsed from the impact of the blast wave. Having quickly sorted out the blockage, the boys called for help from adults.

Lida Ponomareva

The medal "For Saving the Perishing" will be awarded to the sixth grade student of the Ustvash secondary school of the Leshukonsky district (Arkhangelsk region) Lidia Ponomareva. The corresponding Decree was signed by Russian President Vladimir Putin, the press service of the regional government reports.

In July 2013, a 12-year-old girl saved two seven-year-old children. Lida, ahead of the adults, jumped into the river, first after the drowning boy, and then helped the girl to swim out, who was also carried away by the current far from the shore. One of the guys on land managed to throw a life jacket to the drowning child, for which Lida pulled the girl to the shore.

Lida Ponomareva, the only one of the surrounding children and adults who found themselves at the scene of the tragedy, without hesitation, rushed into the river. The girl risked her own life doubly, because her injured arm was very sore. When the next day after saving the children, the mother and daughter went to the hospital, it turned out that it was a fracture.
