1939, fedor moved to Gruvishna village with his family. Later, fedor was suppressed as the father of a farmer. His birth mother fled to Donbass to avoid the same fate. After living with his stepmother for a while, he was sent to an orphanage.
Fedor 15 years old, the Soviet-German war broke out. 1942, German soldiers loaded fedor and some young people in the village into trucks. Later, he managed to escape to his cousin's house. His cousin remembers the scene when fedor fled to his home all his life, and fedor was beaten with blood all over his face.
After settling down with his cousin, fedor wrote a letter to his family, saying that he would go home anyway. Later, fedor was once again put into a Nazi concentration camp, engaged in heavy manual labor, and lost contact with his family for a long time.
After World War II, fedor entered the displaced persons' camp in the allied occupied area. But fedor couldn't go home because the British and American governments tried their best to prevent them from returning to the Soviet Union. In desperation, fedor could only wander in postwar France, starving and doing the dirtiest work to make a living.
After wandering to Marseille, fedor volunteered to join the French Foreign Corps for reasons of life. At that time, the slogan declared by the French foreign army attracted him: "France is awakening from World War II and is ready to take over the colony from the rebels again."
After enlisting, fedor was sent to Sidibel Abbes Training Camp in the sweltering Algerian desert for training. Here fedor changed from a recruit an egg shaped thing to a well-trained professional soldier. After the training, fedor was sent to Vietnam, and the French government used them to defend its precarious colony.
At that time, in Vietnam, French foreign troops were the main force in the battle. The French government suppressed the colonial national independence and liberation movement by force, and the process was full of blood. The criminal nature of this war is obvious.
Fedor later recalled: "I saw Vietnamese killed by capitalists. I can't take part in such an action, nor can I shoot at unarmed civilians. "
Fedor's behavior could be executed on the spot in the French foreign legion at that time, but after the first action, fedor and two Polish soldiers fled into the jungle. In the swamp of Mekong River, they met the 307th battalion of Vietnamese guerrillas and chose to join them. Fedor turned the gun and began to help the Vietnamese guerrillas open fire on the French colonists.
At that time, in addition to fedor from Ukraine, many western veterans volunteered to fight for Vietnamese national independence. There are Polish Joseph Sadofsky, Edward Ullbin, Plato Skrinski, Czech Stefan Bastrick and German Adolf percy.
These soldiers from the west were generally sympathized and respected by the Vietnamese guerrillas at that time. Guerrillas learn tactics from them, while fedor teaches them how to use French weapons. Fedor speaks fluent Vietnamese and has participated in many military operations. Later, he won two Vietnam medals for this.
During the guerrilla war in Vietnam, fedor married a female guerrilla named Ruan Roewe. Later, their children were born in Hanoi, Vietnam.
In the mid-1950s, after six years of guerrilla warfare, fedor returned to his hometown of Buzuwar with his wife and children. But living in a humid jungle for a long time, tuberculosis seriously damaged his health. Two years after returning to his hometown, fedor died of illness.
After returning to his hometown, fedor hardly mentioned his fighting in Vietnam, although he was always full of special love for Vietnam and the Vietnamese people in his usual conversation. It was not until after fedor's death that newspapers reported him as a Vietnamese hero at that time that people realized that his life was so legendary.
Fedor's wife got married in Vietnam. After burying him, she chose to take her children back to Vietnam. After that, I wrote to my relatives in fedor until my death. Fedor's son traveled to and from Ukraine and settled in Donetsk. Engaged in business activities in the mid-1990s.
