Medal has found its hero
 
On Feb 21 2008 the governor of Smolensk region S.Anufriyev presented the gas welder of Supporting Systems Department of Smolensk Nuclear Power Plant Sergey Alexandrov with Medal “For Saving Perishing People.”
 
On July 11 2005 Alexandrov was returning to his office after launch and heard somebody calling for help. He followed the voice and saw two eight-year-old children drowning in the cooling pond of the plant. He jumped into the water and saved them. Now three years after his exploit, Alexandrov has received a deserved award.
