      In Rezh, a letter of gratitude and gifts were presented to 9-year-old Artem Shein for an act that not every adult would dare to do, reported the press service of the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia for the Sverdlovsk region. In early April, the schoolboy saved his drowning friend.

      The award ceremony, attended by employees of the 54th fire and rescue unit and the head of the Rezh municipal district, took place this Friday, April 17.

      "Thanks to the competent and decisive actions of the young resident of Rezh, the child's death was avoided," the regional Main Directorate of the Ministry of Emergency Situations reported.

      The Ministry of Emergency Situations recalled the details of that day, which was both heroic and tragic.

      "The children were just playing outside. Despite Artem's pleas not to go near the water, his friends went onto the thin ice and fell through. One girl managed to get out on her own, while two others ended up in the cold water," the agency said.

      "The boy immediately called his uncle, who alerted the employees of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Russia. On his own, using a stick, Artem pulled one of the drowning girls to the shore. The second girl could not be saved without adult help, but Artem kept the rescued friend warm until the arrival of the employees of the 223rd fire and rescue unit and the ambulance."

      As previously reported, on the evening of Saturday, April 4, two girls aged 7 and 8 were rescued from the Rezh pond. Another child, an 8-year-old girl, could not be saved.
