For many years, neighbors had been complaining about loud noises coming from a third-floor apartment. A lonely veteran lived there, a gray-haired man with a mustache and medals that had long been gathering dust in an old closet. His children had abandoned him many years ago—no one came, no one called. He lived on a small pension, barely enough for food and medicine.
At night, loud noises came from his apartment—as if furniture was being moved, chairs were falling, someone was punching the walls, and screaming so loudly that the windows shook. The neighbors were perplexed: “Has the old man gone crazy? Or just can’t sleep?” They tolerated it for a long time, but one day they couldn’t take it anymore and called the police in the middle of the night.

The apartment resembled a battlefield: overturned furniture, broken dishes, chaos everywhere. The veteran himself stood in the center of the room—disheveled, in the shadow of a flickering light bulb, his gaze blank.
He waved his arms as if they were holding a weapon and shouted loudly:
“Attack! Get down! Enemy on the left, cover the flank!”
The police officers exchanged glances—before them stood not a rowdy troublemaker, but a soldier broken by time, who had never returned from the front.

They cautiously approached, calmed him down, and took him to the hospital.
Only there did the doctors diagnose him with a severe concussion, complicated by post-traumatic stress disorder.
All these years, he had lived with the consequences of a war that had never ended for him. The concussion he had suffered decades earlier and the mental trauma had made him a prisoner of his own memories.
What struck him most was that his own children hadn’t taken their father to the hospital, hadn’t arranged for treatment, hadn’t helped him cope with this hell. All these years, he lived alone with his trauma, fighting invisible enemies within the four walls of an old Khrushchev-era apartment.
And that night, the police officers’ hearts sank: after all, this man had once saved the Motherland, and now no one needed him.
