I live with army, my day starts and ends with the army. I continue wearing military uniform, continue to serve my country… I live with my family. My son is a serviceman, my grandson Ishkhan (I named him on the honour of my brother who perished during the 2nd World War) will continue shift. I.e. I (my blood) would be with the army for a long time. I feel very well when I see activity in young servicemen. I become happy when I see that the guarantees of tomorrow’s powerful army forge today, in front of my eyes.
