The border guard was among the last to be taken prisoner from the Azovstal plant. The prisoner was beaten with hammers, half of his bones were broken. But the spirit of the defender was not broken. Wilhelm was saved by his sense of humor in the war and in captivity. He tells many stories with a smile on his face. Even when the Russians killed him for the coat of arms tattoo on his arm. The defense of the city, the battles at the Ilyich steelworks, injuries and torture in captivity. He was able to stand up, not break down, and is now actively recovering.

After demobilization, he lived in Mariupol, where he encountered a full-scale war. On the very first day, he joined the TRO. He remembers how he lost contact with his family. Only a few weeks later did he learn that the family had managed to leave. The Russians threw all their might at the positions that Starchenko defended: tanks, artillery, and planes. And there are also many wounded on hand, with whom you can't go to a breakthrough. Gennady was captured from the Azovstal plant. During one of the interrogations, the prisoner's spine was broken. But they couldn't break the spirit of the defender. After the exchange, Gennady returned to legal consultations, because he had previously provided legal support to veterans and servicemen. ????Our Facebook - / heartofazovstal ????Our TikTok - / heartofazovstal #mariupol #azovstal #captive
