He has been engaged in business, socio-vegetable activities since the year. The name of I. Chmurov was awarded the Order of Lenin in Smolensk on a memorable sign in the square of the heroes memory. From the first line, a tall, toned paratrooper stepped and, not slowly printing a step, headed for the commander.

At a distance, next to the rostrum, there were two "civilians". Mother and father of the cadet - Alexander Markovna and Vladimir Sazonovich. Father pulled out a bright shirt on the outlet, thought embarrassedly. The mother answered: - You know, somehow it is not even an embarrassment for attention to us. After all, we did not commit a feat, but a son.

For two incomplete days that Igor spent at home after treatment, he spoke little about the service. He talked about friends, about how beautiful the Afghan mountains are- and almost nothing about that memorable battle. They carried out the capture and liquidation of the supporting Dushman base. The position taken by the machine gunner Chmurov took on the bandits "bone in the throat" - their attack choked.

Then the Dushmans lay down and brought down a flurry of fire to the machine gun point, tried to throw grenades. But the machine gun fell silent only for a moment to press the bandits to the ground again. Almost the ammunition was exhausted. The new attack of Dushmanov also choked. Now grenades were used. When the fighters who arrived at the rescue found Igor, he was unconscious, lost a lot of blood.

The rocky land around was dotted with shooting sleeves, but the soldier’s hands were still tightly squeezed a machine gun. The fact that the son was seriously wounded, father and mother were not recognized soon. The next letter from Igor came on time - his letters always came in the twenties. About yourself, as always, briefly: “You won’t tell you much. Everything is in order.

A card was attached to the letter where the son smiled behind the building was visible, but that it was a hospital, they didn’t have a guessed and the guys who drove to Odintsovo to congratulate Igor’s parents on Victory Day. Only on May 27, from the publication in Pravda, did they learn that their son had made a feat. Mother often recalled that Igor dreamed of getting to the air of the landing troops.

After school, he entered the Ryazan Airborne Command School. Then it was not possible - "cut off" in the exam in physics. Now he earned his right to continue to study the military work, having passed another, a much more severe exam. The mother also recalled the last, the most alarming months. Serving how he served, not hiding behind someone's back. "In his last battle, three months before dismissal in the reserve, Igor took refuge only behind the stones.To overshadow others - completely unsettled.

Then, limping - the wound also gave himself to know, - approached the head of the school to give the museum a military weapon as a gift. Then they stood nearby, on the rostrum for honored guests - a general, sergeant, parents of the hero. And below, in the front line, there were officers and cadets of the twice red-banned airborne school school named after the Lenin Komsomol.
