****Rank Corrected** \- Initial reports of his death describe Andrey as a Colonel; however, a later image clearly describes him as a Senior Lieutenant. The initial report stated he was a Battalion Commander, while the later one called him a Platoon Commander.  
  
Battalion command is well below what would normally be assigned to a Colonel, which raised our suspicions. It is possible that he was recently retired (though given his age this is unlikely), then mobilized and placed in command of a battalion. We could not find any images of him in a dress uniform, so confirming his rank visually has not been possible to date.  
  
We assess it more likely that the initial reports were incorrect, and he was a retired Senior Lieutenant who was mobilized and placed in command of a platoon. As such, until further evidence appears, he is being removed from the list and marked as [Corrected](https://topcargo200.com/tag/corrected).
