Pastor Mokhnenko has 39 children: three biological and 36 adopted. “My story is very strange. When stuntmen perform, there’s a sign that says ‘Do not try this at home.’ When ‘Republic of Pilgrim’ returns, we will take two more kids into our family. I’m already completing the paperwork. These children were half a step away from becoming my adoptive children on the eve of February 24th. They already spent the night in our family, already told their friends that the pastor is taking them. And then I take the children out racing with tanks, hug them, and return to Mariupol, realizing that my chances of survival are slim. It brings me immense joy that after two years they will be in my family, that God gave me the strength to survive. These will be the fortieth and forty-first child: a brother and sister, Nikita and Nastya.
