As a young guy, he went to serve in the riot police, then worked in the traffic police, and went into the reserves as a major. In 2001 he left for North Ossetia, but when three years later hostilities began again in South Ossetia, he returned and was here.

On the night of March 29, he wrote me the first and last message from there that he was fighting shoulder to shoulder with the soldiers of the 58th Army, including the 4th Guards Military Base, on the front line. And he never got in touch again.

" I went to Donbass to deliver humanitarian aid for the militia from the Pyatnashka battalion and decided to stay with them as a volunteer. He fought in Melitopol and Mariupol. On March 29, 2022, in battles near the regional center of Yasinovataya, as part of a battle group, he captured Ukrainian positions and settled on them. But the Ukrainians who retreated from there reported the coordinates and the Ukrainian Armed Forces covered ours with mortar fire. "
