Biography:

“My heart is steel—my blood is Azov.”

In the battles near Bakhmut, he sacrificed his own shelter and his life to save a wounded brother-in-arms and the medic providing him with care.

He was born on July 17, 1994, in the city of Bila Tserkva.

He graduated from School No. 11 and later studied at the Bila Tserkva Technical College.

He was passionate about rock music, archery, and was interested in computer technology.

He took part in the Revolution of Dignity. From 2014, he participated in the Anti-Terrorist Operation in the ranks of the Azov Regiment.
