I was on duty at the St. Petersburg Police Department 10 years ago today. One day we received a report of a robbery at a gaming center. Upon receiving the report, I reached the spot where there was an exchange of fire with the robbers, as a result of which my colleague Dmitry Varin lost his life.

The bullet I received in a confrontation with the robbers entered from the back of my brain and got stuck in the uppermost part. After 9 days in a coma after the accident, I opened my eyes at Alexander II Rusky Hospital he said.

Vladimir Kartov said the bullet he fired was a 7.62-caliber snake revolver. According to doctors, I had no hope of survival, but I am not only alive today, but my wife and five months old I am living a happy life with my daughter.
