I believe the unit to be incorrect, but I do not yet have enough evidence to overrule what is written in the primary source. Marat was previously the commander of the 39th, but was relieved of command and sent to prison several years ago. He was let out to serve in Ukraine, and I believe he was promoted to command of the 37th after the fragging of its previous commander, Colonel Yuri Medvedev [Cargo ID #42]
