The boy who saved the children in Holdomi was awarded the Order of Courage

This is stated in the press service of the government of the Khabarovsk Territory.

“For his courage and decisiveness in saving people under extreme conditions, Alexey was awarded the Order of Courage posthumously,” the press service quoted Interfax as saying.

A fifth grader Alexei Martynenko during a fire in the Holdomi children's camp in July 2019 helped children from a burning tent to escape. The boy received severe burns and died in the hospital.

As a result of an emergency in the camp, four children were killed and a criminal case was opened.

Earlier, URA.RU, citing the Ministry of Internal Affairs, reported that the sergeant who was killed in the attack in Surgut will be presented posthumously for reward.
