It was this photo that made 60-year-old Oleh Hontarenko famous all over the world as he was rescued from the apartment hit by the wreckage of a russian rocket, seen by millions. But few people know how a man with a height of only 1 m 5 cm lived before this tragedy. It turns out that Oleh had a brother, a basketball player. His mother searched all her life for a cure for her son's illness. Still in Oleg's apartment at the time of the missile strike, a miracle happened. Today, we will tell the real story of a Kyivan who, due to the so-called russia, lost all his property.
