"SVIAT"

One of the leaders of Tavriya Simferopol ultras, a representative of the “Tavrida Boys” group @tavriya_ultras and “Buzkyi Hard” @hard_gard_. He was born on October 30, 1989, in the city of Saky and studied in Ukrainian-language classes in Crimea. From a young age, he chose the path of a true Warrior and spent his entire life improving himself on that path. He was interested in history, martial arts, and weapons; he spoke English well and played chess. He read a lot and quickly, wrote poems, regularly went hiking in the mountains, and adored parachute jumps. In 2009, he began his compulsory military service in Military Unit 3027 “Bars,” urban-type settlement Novi Petrivtsi. In 2010, he served under contract as a reconnaissance soldier in the Special-Purpose Reconnaissance Company of Military Unit 3009 of the Internal Troops in Simferopol. Well-rounded, self-sufficient, communicative, and always cheerful, Sviat knew how to take responsibility and feared nothing. Despite threats and persecution by the occupation authorities, during Euromaidan he did everything he could to fight for Ukrainian statehood in Crimea. After the occupation of his native peninsula, he took part in the ATO/JFO in the east of our country. Sport, military and blacksmithing craft, medicine, IT—Sviatoslav inspired others by his own example; he was real, not performative. From the first days of the full-scale invasion, with extensive combat experience, Sviat provided professional training to members of volunteer formations and, together with them, took direct part in the liberation of Kyiv Oblast. After gathering a group of Crimeans, in April 2022 they went to support friends in Mykolaiv and joined the volunteer unit “Buzkyi Hard.” Together, they worked effectively in sectors of the southern front. He never forgot his native Crimea and its occupation and sought to drive the enemy and separatists out of the peninsula. On August 29, our forces began an offensive on the Kherson axis, and Sviatoslav did everything necessary to successfully complete the assault and save the lives of his brothers-in-arms at the cost of his own. A reliable friend, mentor, and example for many. A courageous warrior who remained faithful to his convictions not in words, but in deeds.
