A fighter from the Volgograd region was killed in a special operation zone

Alexander Strakhov from Novoanninsky District was killed in military action. Since the beginning of the Russian operation in Ukraine, the authorities have publicly named at least 1,307 servicemen from the Volgograd Region killed there.

As "Kavkazsky Uzel" wrote, by August 20, at least 1,306 fighters from the Volgograd Region were officially recognized as killed in the military operation in Ukraine.

On August 24, the funeral of a participant in the special operation, 61-year-old Alexander Strakhov, took place in Novoanninsky District.

The man was born and lived in Novoanninsky. He did his military service in the Airborne Forces in the Lithuanian SSR.

In early June 2023, Alexander Strakhov volunteered for the SVO, where he was a rifleman in a motorized rifle company. In December 2023, a fighter was killed in the village of Krynki in the Kherson region, the Novoanninsky municipal district administration reported on its Telegram channel.

Thus, at least 1,307 fighters from the Volgograd region have been officially recognized as killed in the military operation. "Caucasian Knot" maintains a list of names of natives of the North Caucasus and Southern Federal Districts killed in the military operation. The list was compiled based on data officially announced by government officials and law enforcement agencies, according to the Caucasian Knot report "Statistics of the SVO: Losses are growing for the south of Russia".

State awards, memorial plaques and appearances on Channel One do not guarantee state support for the families of those killed, according to the Caucasian Knot report "Three comrades served: how the authorities are depriving the families of killed volunteers of benefits", which describes the stories of fighters from other regions.
