"After 2009, the newly minted officer decided to get married. He looked after his bride at school - a classmate, Alyona Abromovsky. They got married, and he took his young wife to his place of service. A year later, Vladimir was transferred to the Domna air base near Chita. Two sons, Sasha and Nikita, were born there. Vladimir served in Domna for 10 years, during which time he participated in hostilities in Syria (he was there three times).
In 2021, Major Bardin was transferred to the Far East to Chernigovka as a senior navigator of the regiment. The new position obliged him to do a lot, the family almost did not see him at home - all the time at work. Soon, the large-scale Russian-Chinese exercises "Sibu / Interaction-2021" began. A month later he returned, a week's vacation and again a forced march to Belorechensk, to Belarus.
A month and a half of communication with the family only on the phone - a short conversation, nothing superfluous. Alena understood everything, she was waiting for her husband with two children in the garrison. Vladimir never returned home - a special military operation began in Ukraine. They were relocated to Gomel to a military airfield. "
"His classmate and friend, Stepan Okrugin, flew with him. They flew out on combat missions in turn. On that fateful day, March 16, Vladimir had a night flight. He was already returning to base, when at 23:30 his plane disappeared from the radar."
