Timur Ziganshin, the savior of a ten-year-old girl who almost died after falling through the ice of Kaban Lake on the evening of March 18, was met today at the SISV Center of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia in the Republic of Tatarstan. For his noble and courageous act, the young man will be presented to the medal of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia "For saving those who perish on the waters". It is awarded to employees of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, and in some cases to other citizens for their courage, bravery and dedication in rescuing people on water bodies.
I remind you that for going out on the ice, less than 7 cm thick, a fine of up to 1.5 thousand rubles is provided for citizens. 69 such protocols have been compiled since the beginning of the ice age.
