In particular, the junior sergeant of the Aidar battalion, Valery Lipinsky, told the Kyiv magazine “Focus” about this, in his own words, he survived two shell shocks and a wound.
One day, he says, in the Lutugino area his car came under fire and overturned.
“The result of the accident: shrapnel in the neck and traumatic brain injury. “I lost consciousness,” recalls the Aidarov resident. “When the doctors took off my unloading gear and body armor, I thought that it was the separatists who were taking prisoners. And I carried a grenade on my shoulder especially for such an occasion. I didn’t want to give in to the separatists so easily. I touch the shoulder - empty, no grenade. I caught up, carried out a series of blows, and knocked one of them down. They tied me up: “We are our own, cool down!” And they let me go. And I blew myself up again and attacked the second one. They twisted it again. And so four times. Then I looked - indeed, a military uniform with our flag. And that’s it, I switched off.”
However, upon returning to peaceful life, Lipinsky’s obvious mental problems did not end.
“I first felt burning hatred towards civilians when I left the hospital,” the ATO specialist admits. “The volunteers put me in an apartment near Bessarabka for a month. I often went to the kiosk on Khreshchatyk to buy cigarettes. I saw a well-fed, fat life and caught myself thinking that it would be nice to take out a Kalashnikov machine gun and fire a long line at all these boys in tight jeans who are sitting at home and groping girls in short skirts by the butts.”
