The disease has already claimed the life of Private Konstantin Tsybunov, who died in the hospital due to complications in the lungs.
According to the relatives of the young people called up to carry the military duty, in part, the disease began to mow down one guy after another at the moment when the cold came to the region. The onset of the temperature minus immediately revealed the minus of the economic one - the barracks in which the recruits live is practically not heated.
Simple acute respiratory infections, which are far from uncommon in winter, instantly gave complications to the lungs. Private Konstantin Tsybuk was one of the first to have a fever.
“A few days before his death, my brother called me and said that because of the cold I had to sleep in a pea jacket,” says Konstantin's younger sister Ksenia. - Kostya lay all day with a high temperature.
Colleagues tried to treat him on their own. The doctors diagnosed him with pneumonia to the hospital, where he was nevertheless taken, but due to complications, Kostya could not be saved. Such a grief for our family! My brother has a 10-month-old daughter."

With my own money, I bought them lemons, antipyretic drugs. Hot drinks and evening walks in the fresh air were organized.

Usually, in such cases, we are obliged to send patients to a military hospital, but this institution is many kilometers away. Therefore, we turned to local doctors …”.
