Mikhail Kopychko got acquainted with the hero in his picture, Grandpa Kolya (Ded
Kolya), 4 years ago. In the past Grandpa Kolya was a commander of a diesel submarine,
but after an unfortunate war game in the Mediterranean Sea he lost his exalted position and spent 10 years in jail. There he caught scurvy and consequently lost all his
teeth. However, even now Grandpa Kolya struggles for his life. He shares his house
with his son, who lost his own home in a fire, and earns a pittance by breeding cows.
Certainly, even a very good shot cannot reflect a life path, especially such a tortuous
one…
