ℹ️
Popov is being posted as a Dishonorable Mention because I do not have confirmation of any specific rank. Given his education, age, time in service, and command, he is likely equivalent to a Lieutenant Colonel or Colonel. However, given his political standing, he could be seen as equal to a Major General in importance. His card will be updated if/when I find confirmation of military rank.

ℹ️
Oleg also has two brothers and several nieces/nephews that he does not mention on his social media, and they do not mention him. However, they all list their sister's and other relatives together. It seems likely there was conflict between the two brothers and Oleg.
