My father, who was a colonel in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, instilled in me a love for serving my country and people. My dream has come true, and I would like to say to those who are thinking of joining the ranks of the Ministry of Emergency Situations - do not hesitate, especially if you have an inner desire for it," shared Anastasia, admitting that she is a little nervous on such a day, and her husband, who also works in law enforcement, came to support her.
