State Duma deputy Anatoly Ivanov visited the families of participants in the special military operation.

      Parliamentarian brought gifts for the children and financial aid for the widows

      Russian State Duma deputy Anatoly Ivanov visited families of those killed in the special military operation in the Mamadysh district. One of them is the Hamidullin family. The widow of the hero, Gulsina Hamidullina, recounted how in March 2024 she accepted her husband’s decision to take part in the operation. With prayers she saw him off to the front. They often called each other, and her husband, Linar Hamidullin, sent her photographs and told her about his daily life. He shared only good news so as not to worry the family. Linar supported his sons, as the boys had a very hard time with the separation from their father. Their mother noticed that they began to get sick more often.

      “When Linar returned on leave in October, the children were immensely happy and spent all their free time with him. He served bravely and in a short time received the rank of lance corporal… But in April 2025 he was gone — Linar was killed by an enemy shell. He was 42 years old…,” Anatoly Ivanov said.

      Now Gulsina alone continues to carry out their shared dreams and plans for life. She is trying to finish the house they had bought and to provide a decent education and upbringing for her sons — 14-year-old Bulat and 10-year-old Daniyar.

      “At this age, fatherly advice is needed as never before… Their father’s photograph occupies an honored place in their home, and the boys feel his support in every step. They find comfort in sports and try to help their mother, becoming a support for one another,” the deputy noted.

      The parliamentarian congratulated the children and their mother on the New Year holidays and brought presents.

      “I hope that the holiday treats and the financial assistance I was able to bring will at least brighten this family’s New Year days a little. May all difficulties remain in the year that is ending, and may the New Year bring them happiness and hope for the future!” he said.

      Anatoly Ivanov also visited the Kuttusov family.

      “This meeting also left a deep mark on my heart. The head of this large family, Rustem Munipovich, honorably fulfilled his military duty by participating in the special military operation. His heroism and courage will forever remain in our memory,” he said.

      Now the fallen serviceman’s wife, Leila Kuttusova, is raising three sons alone in a rented apartment. They dreamed of having their own home, of holidays they could celebrate together, of creating better conditions for their children.

      “They will spend this New Year incomplete… Nothing can ease this pain, but life goes on. Despite the difficulties, the children, together with their mother, decorated the Christmas tree by a good tradition. I brought the family treats for the holiday table and provided financial assistance to help fulfill the children’s wishes. It is important that they do not lose faith in miracles, especially in these magical days! Let us together support such families, give them warmth and care,” the State Duma deputy urged.
