What do you think friendship is? - When you can tell a person everything, even the most disgusting things about yourself.

What would you give to a loved one if you were omnipotent? - One more life.

What would you do first if you became the head of state? - Lifted the censorship.

Favorite music and song - Chopin, "The 12th etude", "Arise, vast country." (The song of the Second World War)

Do you want to be great and why? - I want to and I will.

And he did.

The ballad of fighting
