24 yo Dmitry Dvali, winner of the European Boxing Championship, has almost lost an eye after he intervened into several men's attempt to beat up an adolescent rbc.ru/sport/08/08/2024/66b4e9a09a7947142c2e384a

He was returning from his morning jog and saw several men attacking an adolescent boy, and intervened. His eye was physically saved, but vision might be close to zero even provided that surgeries result in a success.

Well at least boxing made him morally strong.

So you got the city in the 4th one, but did what I did on the 5 th location.

@Xanne It's very easy if you happen to recognize your grandfather on the picture. Otherwise, like us pick a random place in the region you think it was taken and you will land precisely at 607 km :-) Statistics don't lie.

@Xanne I didn't but was closer.

@Lambie Thanks for enlightening me but to be honest, I wouldn't be greatly surprised if he were one. @Xanne wouldn't be the first animal to regularly visit this chat.
