Military historian, genealogist, specialist in the restoration of military graves, author of Memorial books for several regions of the Russian Federation.

Since 2011, I have been restoring the names of those killed in battles during the World War 2. Conducted research work and prepared lists of the dead as part of the reconstruction of military graves in Russia, Poland, Austria, and the Czech Republic.

By 2024, I have restored more than 20,000 names, of which more than 7,000 are engraved on memorial slabs. I was awarded the medal of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation "For perpetuating the memory of those who died defending the Fatherland."
