The deputy commander of the aviation regiment, Lieutenant Colonel Oleg Chervov, was buried on March 16. He rests next to his friend and colleague Roman Filipov.

"Yesterday in Voronezh, they said goodbye to a military pilot who died during a special operation on Ukraine, - Deputy commander of the aviation regiment, Lieutenant Colonel Oleg Chervov. The pilot, who previously served in Transbaikalia and flew attack aircraft, moved to Voronezh quite recently. About a hundred military and several dozen civilians came to say goodbye to him - this time Voronezh residents were not informed about the officer's funeral in advance. "Who are we burying, fathers-commanders?" - rare passers-by asked. "Officers," they answered. "From Ukraine?" - passers-by asked again. The answer was silence... Neither civilians nor the military could provide details about what happened to Oleg Chervov's plane on March 7. Even the cadets on duty at the entrance, who did not have the opportunity to approach the coffin, learned about the identity of the pilot from those leaving the building."

"Unknown people set fire to the grave of officer Oleg Chervov, who died during a special operation. It is located in the Alley of Heroes at the Comintern Cemetery. Mayor Vadim Kstenin announced this today, September 28."
