According to the RT channel, the message was discovered during the cleaning of the city by militants of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. On one of the destroyed buildings on the wall was written in black marker: “Whoever finds me, take care of my mother, sister and brother. Rudakov Roman Aleksandrovich, city of Bataysk.”
Judging by the irregular handwriting, the fighter wrote wounded and in the dark. Next to the message-testament lay the bodies of nine people.
According to one version, the Russian assault group was ambushed and defended to the last bullet. Roman Rudakov, who was dying from his injuries, did not want to give up and asked to take care of his family.
From the masonry was extracted a letter from a soldier who believes in the victory of Russia and has no doubt that his comrades will find him. After restoration, the message will be kept at the military unit headquarters, next to the military banner.
With his message, Roman Rudakov repeated the exploits of the Red Army soldiers of the Great Patriotic War, who, not wanting to surrender, left a message for their descendants. The most famous of them is the inscription: “I am dying, but I will not give up! Goodbye, Fatherland.” He was bayoneted on July 20, 1941 in the ruins of the Brest Fortress barracks by a soldier of the 132nd separate battalion of the NKVD troops, Fedor Ryabov.
