The commander of the 1st battalion of the Azov regiment, Oleg Mudrak, who took part in the defense of Azovstal in Mariupol and spent several months in Russian captivity, has died. The military nephew Daniil wrote about this on Instagram.

As Channel 24 clarifies , the cause of death of 35-year-old Mudrak was cardiac arrest.

“Medusa” in Russia is now not only a “foreign agent”, but also an “undesirable” organization. This status is much worse than before. Nevertheless, we continue to work. We can still be read. It is safe. Here are all the answers to troubling questions.

Soldiers of the Azov regiment held the defense at the Azovstal plant for almost two months in the spring of 2022. In mid-May, the defenders of Azovstal, in accordance with the order of the command, left the plant and surrendered. The Russian Ministry of Defense reported that a total of 2,439 military personnel surrendered.
In September, as part of a large-scale prisoner exchange, Russia released five Azovstal defense commanders and 108 fighters from the Azov regiment. Among those released was Mudrak.
Mudrak became widely known after the writer Stanislav Aseev published photos of the fighter in August, which showed how much he had changed during his three months in captivity.
