- Bizde batırğa oq tiymeydi, batırğa süŋü da kirmeydi dep söz bardı. Duniyada eki keremi öllükbüz?! Qorqma da, alğa! – dep, kötürtdü Balaşov.Among us there is a saying that a bullet does not strike the brave man and a spear does not pierce him either. Are we going to die twice in this world?! Don't be afraid — forward! — and so Balashov roused them.
