A senior operator of Dukhovschinsky Distribution Zone of IDGC of Centre - Smolenskenergo division, Alexey Sinitsky saved two drowning children. The incident occurred on 28 May 2018 at about 02-30 pm on the outskirts of the town of Dukhovschina on the Zimovets river.
The power engineer on his day off went with his son in the car and saw on the road children who asked for help.
"When I stopped and got out of the car, the children told me that two boys drowned in the river. There were no more splashes on the water, clothes lay on the beach. I rushed into the water, trying to touch the children. The water is icy, dirty - you cannot see anything," said Alexey Sinitsky.
After pulling one boy out of the water, Alexey returned for the second. Then, on the shore, he began resuscitation.
The victims were two twin brothers, who had finished the third grade a couple of days ago. Prior to the arrival of emergency medical care, the boys managed to regain consciousness.
After a day in the hospital, they were informed that they were all right with the brothers, they were transferred from the intensive care unit to an ordinary ward, and they are already on the mend.
Alexey Sinitsky has worked at Smolenskenergo since 1999. The work of power engineers is associated with a great responsibility for people’s lives, the need to quickly make decisions. All employees of the Company regularly undergo training in the skills of first aid and resuscitation to victims.
"It’s nice that our employee did not get confused and saved the boys. They remained alive only because of his timely and decisive actions," commented the chief of Dukhovschinsky Distribution Zone Yury Yurchenkov.
Smolensk power engineers have repeatedly demonstrated indifference to someone else’s grief. For example, quickly isolating the burning of a cafe on the Moscow-Minsk highway in 2014 or saving lives of victims of an accident in Monastyrschinsky district in 2015.
