Our compatriot Fyodor Sachek from Bragin devoted more than twenty years to service in the interior ministry. He was fortunate to work alongside veterans of the Great Patriotic War, who taught young officers resilience, endurance, high professionalism, and life wisdom. Adopting this experience, Fyodor Petrovich himself became a model for subsequent generations of law‑enforcement officers.

Fyodor Sachek was born in Kononovshchina in a peasant family where eight children grew up. After completing tenth grade he was drafted into the Armed Forces. He served his mandatory term as a missile operator with a group of Soviet troops in Germany. The army forged his character and hardened
