In 1996, in Chechnya,
Sergeant Kostya Gromov
:04:05
was decorated for bravery,
but he didn't know about it.
:04:10
Now he has got his medal.
Here is Kostya Gromov
:04:14
and his comrades-in-arms
Danila Bagrov and Ilya Setevoi.
:04:18
Dmitry Gromov,
a famous Russian hockey player
:04:21
now in the NHL
is Kostya's twin brother.
:04:27
- What were you honored for?
- It was a covert operation...
:04:32
Alexander DIACHENKO
:04:36
When I came round,
I saw the Big Guy...
:04:39
- Who's the Big Guy?
- It's Kostya.
:04:42
So the Big Guy was dragging
the two of us with his left hand.
:04:46
And he had a machine gun
and a Kalashnikov in his right hand
:04:49
Blood was streaming out of me,
my hip was busted. I could see
:04:54
the Kalashnikov bouncing around,
bumping against Danila's head.
:04:59
I thought he was lucky
to have his helmet on.
:05:02
Other guys didn't make it.
Here's a photograph.
:05:14
- We're at a rest point.
- It's summer already.
:05:16
Which one of you is the toughest?
:05:18
Danila.
:05:23
He was very smart
and never feared anything.
:05:28
Hi. Turn on Channel 6.
:05:30
Check out the boy
with the full lips.
:05:33
I'll call you back later.

Now I am a security guard
in a bank.
:05:43
A major one.
It's the Nikolaevsky Bank.
:05:46
I like it there.
The guys are all athletes.
:05:50
I'm actually from Kiev.
:05:53
After school I went to my Dad in Tula
and soon I was recruited
:05:58
And Ilya here works on
the Red Square.
