Cherkasy resident Roman Gribov, better known as the author of the slogan "
Marine Roman Gribov, a former DJ, has been serving Ukraine for four years. I realized about the beginning of a full-scale war when I saw Russian warships on the horizon. Roman immediately phoned his relatives and warned them of the danger.. Despite the fear, the marine wanted to give a fitting rebuff to the enemy.
" It was a little scary, but I wanted to give a fitting rebuff.. There were many of us. When exactly this phrase sounded, how it happened, I can’t say, there was a panic state, so I won’t even say at what point it happened” - shares the details.

Despite the foul language of what was said, the mother of the marine supported her son, because these words supported the fighting spirit of the Ukrainians and became the slogan of national resistance to the Russian invaders.
In captivity, Ukrainian servicemen were treated " They were moved three times, first there was Crimea, then tent camps and a pre-trial detention center.
" They treated everyone the same, they didn’t care who was in front of them – a military man, a woman, a priest,” Roman shares..
They were subjected to physical and psychological torture.. They lied about the fact that the Russian army had already captured Kyiv and there was nowhere to return. Ukrainian captives were completely cut off from the world and did not know what was happening in Ukraine. However, thoughts about relatives and prayers helped to keep.
“We were called from the pre-trial detention center, they say: “with things to go out”. No one expected that we were going to the exchange, they thought that we were going to be shot. They tied our hands, put nooses around our necks, so many were suffocating along the way.. They threw it into the car like meat, they threw things from above. We found out that this was an exchange at the last moment," "

After returning to their homeland, the guys were offered to go for treatment, but Roman decided to immediately go home, to his wife and parents.
In his hometown, the attitude towards the marine has not changed, but in the regional center they pay a lot of attention to him - they recognize him, take pictures, ask for an autograph. Because of the sudden fame, the man is embarrassed, because he used non-normative vocabulary, but this phrase pretty much cheers up the people, so he does not deny.
Regarding plans for the future, Roman says that he plans to return to the service.
" We have truth and victory. We are a very strong people and no resolists will be able to get in here, "
