Yuriy Biriukov, ambassador of the NGO "Community Matters":
"This is a rare story, rare in its length - 8 years. It was 8 years ago that we received a heavily armored collection van from Germany, which we used with Dmytro Marchenko to deliver the volunteer to the hottest spots. A stream of memory...
О...
Oh, here's a pierced side, and I took a piece of Grad out of the hole. We were entering Donetsk airport under fire and caught it. It was a little scary and completely unusual.
Oh, and here's the broken rear door. We were hauling cargo in Debaltseve, loaded it from the back door to the brim, and then found out the unbelievable thing - in the collection beads, the doors lock from the inside. It was funny.
Oh, and here's the skinned side. It was our tank that insistently asked us to move out of the way when we were leaving a trip to the DAP at night. Well... how... insistently... It just took us and pushed us off with a sideways movement.
The car is a stream of memories. I lost sight of it in 2016, when I was done with active volunteering. But the Brutalenwagen doesn't give up, it found me yesterday. He is alive! It's ready for another adventure. It just needs some repairs.
Shall we fix it? There shouldn't be too much."
