Maxim Verbenin used his body to cover his girlfriend when the terrorist opened fire.
Maxim Verbenin was one of the unfortunate people who died in the terrorist attack on the Crocus City complex on March 22. However, before his death, Maxim had a heroic act to save his girlfriend’s life.
Unfortunately, Maxim suffered from hereditary muscular dystrophy, SMA, which led to him being unable to walk at an early age. But this cannot stop Maxim from pursuing music. It is known that he graduated from the music department at Moscow Pedagogical University and is described as having a very good voice.
On March 22, the concert was held in Crocus and Maxim happily attended with his girlfriend Natalya. However, the show was interrupted when armed men suddenly appeared.

At the moment these guys started shooting, the two hastily fled with the others. However, Maxim could not leave because the stairway was not equipped with a wheelchair ramp.
While the two were still confused, a terrorist suddenly appeared, pointing a gun at Maxim. According to Russian newspaper Dzen, Maxim now used his body to block the bullet, shielding his girlfriend from the attack. As a result, Maxim received several bullets in the chest area and died on the spot.
Natalya was lucky to miraculously survive. She was taken to the hospital with 12% burns. Currently, she is still being actively treated by doctors.

According to RT, the terrorist attack at Crocus left 143 people dead. The police are urgently conducting an investigation and arresting 11 subjects, including 4 main suspects.
