"KHUDOZHNYK"

Born in the village of Melekine, Mariupol District, Donetsk Region. From his school years, he believed that his place was in the army, so at the age of 18 he enlisted. He was a warrior who went through the hell of war: he sustained two severe wounds and lost a hand, yet he did not break. Despite the pain and losses, he remained on the front line and continued his service because he believed in victory. His courage and motivation inspired his brothers-in-arms. He did not just fight—he lived this struggle, allowing himself not a single moment of weakness. His willpower was stronger than any limitations of the body. He was also a remarkable person who always supported and helped those around him. His kindness, compassion, and readiness to help others left a lasting mark in the hearts of everyone who had the honor of serving with him. His sincerity and humanity became an example for all who had the chance to know him. He was the best son, friend, brother, and a beloved husband.
