Oleksii Dernov has spent his entire life in Znamianka. It is a small town in the Kirovohrad region and an important railway junction. Dozens of trains pass through the city every day. At the train station, the noise of a train is heard every 15-20 minutes.

So Oleksiy, like many other residents of Znamianka, went to work for the railroad and worked there until the start of the full-scale invasion. Then he volunteered to join the Armed Forces, was later wounded, demobilized, and returned to Ukrzaliznytsia.
