“Chermen was a calm, disciplined guy, I didn’t even think that he would grow into a commander. But by the 9th grade, his leadership qualities and he became a squad commander in his platoon. He graduated from the Suvorov School well. Then, of his own free will, he entered the Far Eastern Higher Combined Arms Command School in Blagoveshchensk. Of course, we kept in touch. When he came on vacation, he always came to the school, especially since lived nearby. I knew that he got married, I rejoiced at his successes. Chermen sometimes consulted with me, he was supposed to be appointed chief of staff... On the eve of his death, we communicated via WhatsApp, corresponded... I can’t believe that 40 days have already passed since he was not with us We remember all our guys..."
