Hero of Russia Aldar Tsydenzhapov Becomes Hero of Movie

15.12.2011 In Vladivostok, a film crew starts making a documentary about heroic deed of the seaman of Pacific Fleet (PF) destroyer Bystry Aldar Tsydenzhapov.

According to the director Handajab Budayeva, main purpose of the film is to teach young generation high spirit, responsibility for assigned duties, unselfishness, readiness to self-sacrifice for the sake of comrades by the example of the Russian sailor's heroism. If motivation of Aldar would be clearly seen in the movie, the film crew may consider their civil and creative duties done.

The film will show how Aldar served, and daily life of Bystry destroyer. It is noteworthy that the documentary's language will be Buryat with captions in Russian.

Handajab Budayeva plans to finish the film in Aginskoye, Transbaikalia which is native land of Aldar Tsydenzhapov. It is planned to demonstrate the documentary at the All-Buryatia cinema festival Altargana 2012 to be held in summer 2012 in Chita.

Recall that in Sept 2010 seaman of PF destroyer Bystry Aldar Tsydenzhapov rushed into the fire to cut off boiler's water supply. He saved the whole warship from the tragedy at the expense of his life.

By the presidential order No. 1431 issued on Nov 16, 2010, Seaman Aldar Tsydenzhapov was posthumously titled the Hero of the Russian Federation for courage and heroism displayed in military service.

Remarkable fact is that Aldar Tsydenzhapov is the first serviceman of a PF surface ship awarded with this highest national title since the World War II was over.
