Two soldiers from the Astrakhan region were killed in a military operation.
Talgat Ismukhambetov and Pavel Korchunov were killed in combat in Ukraine. Since the beginning of the military operation, at least 628 fighters from the Astrakhan region have been recognized as killed in it.
As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," by October 12, at least 626 fighters from the Astrakhan region were officially recognized as killed in the military operation.
In the Volodarsky District, a farewell ceremony was held for Talgat Ismukhambetov and Pavel Korchunov, killed in the military operation in Ukraine, the district administration reported on its Telegram channel on October 17.
Talgat Ismukhambetov, born in 1992, worked as a fisherman at the 20th Party Congress fishing collective farm. In October 2022, he was mobilized and sent to the military operation zone. He died on June 12, 2024.
On September 21, 2022, Vladimir Putin announced a partial mobilization. On October 28 of that year, the Minister of Defense reported to the President on its completion, but no corresponding decree followed. Legal experts concluded that a presidential decree was not needed to end the partial mobilization, Putin's press secretary explained. Moreover, in December 2023, a military court in Maykop, having sentenced a serviceman for leaving his unit in June 2023, emphasized that "a partial mobilization was declared in the Russian Federation, which was not completed at the time the crime was committed."
Pavel Korchunov, born in 1980, worked at the Astrakhan Ship Repair Plant and signed a contract with the Ministry of Defense in 2022. He was killed on March 31, 2025, the publication states.
Thus, at least 628 soldiers from the Astrakhan region have been officially recognized as killed in the military operation. The Caucasian Knot maintains a list of names of natives of the North Caucasus and Southern Federal Districts killed in the military operation. The list is based on data officially released by government officials and law enforcement agencies, according to the Caucasian Knot report "Northeastern Military District Statistics: Losses Are Growing for Southern 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 soldiers from other regions.
