Detachment Chief of Staff

Unit: BARS-13, Rosgvardia

⚠️
Note: As a member of Wagner PMC, and then a BARS unit, he may not have ever had an official rank. However, Chief of Staff of a BARS detachment is a position that would ordinarily be filled by a Major.
According to his comrades, he commanded artillery, suffered damage to his face and hands, but refused to evacuate from the battlefield, despite injuries and fierce shelling of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. As a result, the burning body of the fighter was found by the medic of the "Bars-13" detachment.

Before the start of the war, Semyon tried himself in different professions, including teaching at a university and running for elected office as part of the "All-Russian political party 'Women's Dialogue'". He gained combat experience in the service of PMC Wagner, and in November 2022 he went to the front with his comrades from his native Krasnoyarsk and ended up as Chief of Staff of the Bars-13 unit.

"He was an ordinary soldier, despite his high position, and we could sit in the evening and laugh with him. This is a big loss for all of us." - BARS 13 soldier.
