Пів року до дембеля: як служить 59-річний прикордонник на псевдо «Старшина»

Mykola Maslenkov began his service under the pseudonym "Starshina" in 1986, in the Soviet army, and retired at the age of 43. However, at the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the man could not stay away. Following the example of his son Dmitry, who immediately stood up for the defense of Ukraine, Mykola voluntarily went to the military registration and enlistment office, passed a medical examination and was mobilized to the Luhansk border detachment @luhanskdpsu . Now Starshyna is 59 and a half years old. He is the oldest in his unit "Strazh" of the "Pomsta" brigade, which defends the Lyman direction. About how to fight side by side with the youth, why it is important to remain "clean and groomed" at the front, and what he will do after demobilization - in the material of Suspilne Donbas. #war #donbas #donech region #publicdonbas Author: Yulia Pidhola Camera: Olga Milashich Director: Anna Morozova Official page of the branch of the Public Broadcaster.
