The Tatarstan Republican Investigative Department of the Investigative Committee of Russia received a letter of gratitude from I.P. Pavlov First St. Petersburg State Medical University addressed to Rustem Khairullin, Head of the Nurlat Interdistrict Investigative Department, who saved the life of a young patient with oncohematological disease this summer.
In 2014, while serving at the Kamchatka Regional Investigative Directorate, Rustem Khairullin saw an advertisement looking for stem cell donors to treat blood cancer, so he donated blood to be tested and left his contact details. Seven years later, Khairullin returned to his homeland as head of the Nurlat Investigation Department. Then one day he was contacted by the donor register coordinator at Pavlov St. Petersburg State Medical University and told that the medical institution needs his stem cells. The investigator did not know who the patient was, but he did not hesitate to take leave and, without telling anyone but his closest relatives the purpose of his trip, left for the northern capital of Russia. There Rustem underwent tests which showed that he could become a bone marrow donor for a seriously ill three-year-old girl. After spending several weeks in a treatment facility, Khairullin completed his mission and returned home.
Rustem Khairullin's noble deed, dictated by a selfless desire to help those in need, deserves the most sincere respect. This is how he was perceived by his colleagues in the regional investigative directorate and in other departments. This dignified act of an officer and a man with a large responsive heart gives hope for the best and reinforces faith in good-heartedness and compassion.
