Gomel Rescuer Offers First Aid Lesson to Unexpected Student A unique first aid demonstration took place in Gomel, Belarus on May 31, 2025. A video capturing the event shows a rescuer from the Ministry of Emergency Situations (MES) patiently instructing a man, notably dressed in a Versace shirt and shorts, in basic life-saving techniques using a training dummy. The demonstration, held outdoors under a sunny sky, attracted onlookers. The man actively participated, attempting to perform the procedures under the rescuer's guidance.

You don't see that every day."
