God bless you for caring about people. But exactly how many defibrillators were handed over, did they not write down?

Олег Голубев

Thank you, Maria, for your question. The article really didn’t indicate the exact quantity, which is a pity - it’s always interesting to know the details. I hope that in the next news they will write exactly how much was transferred.

Валентина Васильева

Thank you Maria, good question. I also always look at exactly how many were given, because in our hospital we give out such devices one at a time per team, and it really helps. Maybe they’ll clarify in the comments to the video later.

Марина Комарова

I agree, Oleg, details are always more interesting. In our choir we were just assembling a similar defibrillator for the hospital, so I know how important it is to know how many pieces reached the front line. Maybe they will clarify in the comments under the next material?

Ирина Голубева

God bless you, Mary, for your question. My hands, too, are always itching to find out the exact figure - last year, our people from the church collected one of these for a neighboring brigade, and that’s how it still works. Maybe someone I know in the diocese can tell me?

Антон Комаров

God bless you, Irina. Last year we also built a defibrillator for the guys from the 9th Brigade, and it is still in use, as you say. I don’t know how much one of these costs now?

Полина Беляева

Marina, in Yaroslavl we also once collected funds for a defibrillator for a local hospital, I remember how many nerves went away until we were convinced that the money had arrived. It's good that you're doing this in the choir. How much did you end up raising for that device?

Надежда Киселёва

God bless you, Anton. We also have such a defibrillator that still works; the guys from the 9th brigade have already used it a couple of times. And how much one costs now, I just looked yesterday - about 85 thousand, if it’s a simple portable one. Do you still collect in your community?

Анастасия Волкова

Thank you, Nadezhda, it’s good that your guys from the 9th brigade are working. In our community we don’t yet collect for such expensive things; we mainly help with first aid kits and warm clothes. Exactly how long has your defibrillator lasted?

Ксения Фёдорова

Thank you, Anastasia. Our defibrillator from the ninth brigade has been in operation for six months now, and has never failed, although the guys say that it holds up well in dust and dampness. What kind of first aid kits do you usually pack - with tourniquets and occlusive dressings or simpler ones?
