… – Misha, hello, how are you feeling?
– Yes, everything is great.
– You already went to the doctor, is everything okay?
– Yeah.
– What are you doing now? Have they already returned his car, which was dented by thugs and which the police kept as evidence?
– No, he is still in police custody as evidence. (Misha Taskin took out the money for the car on credit and worked on it. – AG)

– Are you invited to the police in connection with the case in which some hooligans beat you and tore off your military decorations? How is the investigation going there?
– Yes, I was, but not in the police, but in the prosecutor’s office. The investigation is ongoing.
– How are you doing, what can we say?
– Everything’s fine. Now, the investigator is such a person, well, it is clear from him that he is fair and decent and that he achieves his objectives.
—Haven’t the relatives, friends of those investigated, perhaps the detainees themselves, come to you to apologize, repent, etc.?
– Family and friends? No. It is true that it happened that a man called and introduced himself as a second cousin. He said yes, they did something wrong, I agree, but maybe they shouldn’t take their lives and ruin them now? As if I didn’t want to.
I say: “And I wouldn’t want to, but you have to answer for your actions.” What I can do? I will not do anything.
– Yes, here it is no longer Misha Taskin who controls the situation, but the investigative authorities.
– Certainly. Here it is necessary to give a proper report and assessment of everything that is happening. Why am I here now?
– Have you received a disability pension?
– Yes, I do. Now I am preparing documents for a prosthesis.
– Is it true that your compatriots, the military brotherhood, gave you a Niva car, and you took it and sent it to your friends at the front?
– Okay, yes.
– Who exactly gave it to you?
– Well, I wouldn’t like to publicize it and people asked not to be identified.
– Thank you so much. Why did you make this decision?
– Now the boys will need all this more than me. This is Niva, they need it.
– Did you send it to your fellow soldiers?
– Yes, to fellow soldiers and residents of Transbaikal.

-Have you already received your Niva?
– Yes, we received it, everything is fine.
Has the car already participated in battles?
– Yes. They are happy. (view photo.)
In any case, that warmth and care are very important to them now.
– How did your wife Svetlana react to this? Just be honest.
– Yes, Ok. Basically, what is she? She understands this too.
– Your older brother, as I understand it, and your boys are on the front line. What do they say, how is their mood, how is their fighting spirit?
– They are, in principle, combative. And when there is so much attention, care, everything gets out of control for them.
– What do they say about the situation on the front line?
– Well, what do they say? You can never say anything bad so we can worry less here. They basically say everything is fine, don’t worry, victory will be ours.
– Well, we continue publishing your score. Let’s hope Misha Taskin continues to get help. Not care?
– If people have the opportunity and the desire, of course, thank you all for this. In principle, they have already helped, be that as it may.
– Thank you. It’s not even about the money, it’s simply about the fact that people write you words of support, and not just the numbers on these transfers.
– Certainly.
– Thank you, Miguel. Hang there. We are with you.
– All the best. Thank you.
