Bakhtiyor Ergashev: every minute of being in the "hot point" could be the last one
It is such memories that come to mind in the memory of a combatant in Afghanistan, who devoted 12 years to serving the people with the rank of a military man, and 21 years as a firefighter. Today, on the day of the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan, we asked Bakhtiyor Ergashev Zakirovich to recall his life path.
The boy knew what discipline is and how character is tempered from early childhood. At the age of five, his parents sent Bakhtiyor to the gymnastics section. In November 1984, he was drafted into the Armed Forces of the Soviet Army. And so, from October 1988 to February 1989, Bakhtiyor, being the foreman of the launch missile battery, together with his colleagues ensured the security of the last stage of the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan. In total, Bakhtiyor served in the armed forces for 12 years.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, with the move to Tatarstan, he begins to search for his business. In October 2001, he joined the 23rd fire department for the protection of the Minnibaevsky Gas Processing Plant as a firefighter.
Today, at the age of fifty-five, Bakhtiyor Zakirovich is a father with many children and even a young grandfather, he has five children and six grandchildren.
