We have known each other for twenty-two years. Together we studied in our flight “bursitet”, together we flew, together we rode on airfields-training grounds. Together they wound propellers for miles over the Liberian jungle and the Atlantic coast. They took turns in African rotating missions. Together they climbed in atoshno-oosnyh * b * nyakh. And from the first day of the large-scale invasion, columns of rosy PRs were burned together.
We are close friends. More than friends. I baptized his son, he baptized my daughter.

We had already left – although both were badly damaged, but – on courage, on adrenaline – cheerfully growled at each other on the air: “Ah, bl *, for * bis pi * arasam given!” And three minutes Schumacher fell silent, disappeared from the air. And I couldn't shout at him. And I couldn't find his board, “Mulik said.
Grigoriev is survived by his wife and son. The crew died together with him: navigator Vasyl Hnatyuk, airborne technician Dmytro Nesteruk.

Today Alexander Grigoriev's crew was buried in Brody.
