00:00A Soviet veteran stood alone in the road determined to stop the advancing German soldiers.
00:05When he told them to retreat, the Germans laughed unfazed by his command.
00:09Despite the mockery, the veteran stood firm and didn't move as the German officer grew.
00:14Impatient and got ready to shoot, he noticed three St. George medals from World War I on the veteran's chest.
00:19It didn't seem like a joke anymore, and the Germans became suspicious.
00:23They took the veteran's rifle, but it had no bullets, and everything around them seemed calm.
00:28Still, the officer had doubts and reported the situation to his general.
00:33The general was surprised to hear that a decorated Soviet veteran was standing in their way alone.
00:38Respecting the veteran's bravery in World War I, the general tried to convince him that the Soviet forces ahead were exhausted,
00:46and moving them wouldn't change anything.
00:48The veteran looked up at the sky for a moment, as though considering it, but just as he took a step.
