Biography:

He was born and lived in the city of Kharkiv, in the Saltivskyi district. From childhood, he loved weapons and was interested in wars of different eras. From a young age, he held a toy rifle in his hands, as if he had been born with it. From childhood, he instilled in himself patriotism and love for his country. Stas was born to be a warrior… Without it, he was like a fish without water.

He played the guitar and practiced mixed martial arts. He attended an ordinary school in Kharkiv, and in his graduating year he began military training. When the full-scale invasion began, Stas and his parents were in Kharkiv under shelling. After some time, his mother and Stas managed to evacuate to western Ukraine, and later moved to Estonia.

There, he could not find his place—because the guys were defending Ukraine while he was in another country. From the very beginning, he warned his whole family that as soon as he turned 18, he would return home and go to war. Of course, everyone tried to dissuade him—saying that his whole life was ahead, that there were so many opportunities abroad. But his stubborn character…

After returning to Ukraine, he went to a recruiting center. Having filled out all the forms and later getting into the BCBT course, he became a “RECRUIT” in the infantry. With his diligence, he fought for his place in the infantry ranks, despite all the hardships of BCBT, in order to complete the course and become an infantryman.

After a campaign in the Serebrianske Forestry—specifically in the swamps—he proved himself a worthy warrior. After moving to a new sector, not long after, his final deployment took place.

He was driving his own car on a combat mission. He was almost at the assigned point when a mortar strike hit them, striking the vehicle—right above the place where Stas was sitting.

Stas was killed on the spot. He will always be 19 years old…
We remember him as a brother-in-arms and as a brother: a loyal friend, who always approached his work with clear judgment and with all his strength.

Eternal memory to you, brother “TANO.”
