Position Unknown - Major

Unit: Unknown

ℹ️
While we do not have information about the unit he served with in Ukraine, his burial in this particular graveyard in Kubinka may indicate past ties with either the 45th Spetsnaz Brigade or the Kubinka 2 Spetsnaz unit.

At 55, he was almost certainly too old to still be serving in either of those units. He most likely retired as a Major some years ago, and volunteered for deployment to Ukraine with a volunteer brigade.
