In Khakassia awarded a teenager who saved a drowning first grader

On Monday, November 9, the administration of the Askiz district awarded Alexander Ugdyzhekov. Two years ago, a man rescued a drowning seven-year-old boy.

“At the age of 14, Alexander, without special training, rushed into the river Askiz and pulled the child ashore thanks to school lessons and swimming,” the district administration said.

Sasha did not tell anyone about the incident - his relatives learned about the incident by accident. The grandmother of the guy Irina Ugdyzhekova said that at that critical moment there were friends, but only Sasha threw himself into the water. The teenager himself believes that anyone in his situation should have done the same.

Gratitude on behalf of the Chairman of the State Committee for GO, Emergencies and PB of Khakassia Vladimir Karamashev was awarded to the parents of the guy. The hero currently lives in Krasnoyarsk, where he receives professional education.
