The battles in #Donbass are taking place in the same locations today as those of the Great Patriotic War (1941-1945). This video is about junior political officer Khusen Andrukhaev, who died in an unequal battle with the Nazis during the war. In November 1941, the company, in which Andrukhaev was fighting, went into battle with the German invaders. During the retreat Khusen remained to cover his comrades. At first he fired at the enemy with a machine gun. When the ammunition ran out, Khusen Andrukhaev blew himself up, together with the Germans surrounding him, using anti-tank grenades. Note the historical parallels and the feats of the defenders in an excerpt from our documentary, [|’Donbass: Echoes of War.’]
