Position Unknown - Lieutenant Colonel
Unit: 24th Motorized Rifle Regiment, 70th Motorized Rifle Division, Southern Military District
Previously: There is anecdotal evidence that before being mobilized to the 24th MRR he had connections to the Spetsnaz community. Certainly his medals testify to him being more experienced than indicated by his obituaries. His card will be updated if we are able to confirm these connections.
