Cherkasy Center for National Resistance TrainingWhy I teach
I joined the National Resistance training team after three years of full-scale war, when my personal priorities had changed. In today’s reality, everyone should possess the essential skills needed for survival. Who better to share this knowledge with civilians than soldiers who have gained it through real combat experience?
My callsign, “Ded” (“Grandpa”), is directly connected to my age. In the battalion where I served, there was simply no one older than me. The nickname quickly caught on and has stayed with me ever since.
Where the call sign comes from
Позивний «ДЄД» безпосередньо пов’язаний з віком, адже в батальйоні, де служив, старшого не було нікого.
