An activist of the 19th hundred of the Maidan Self-Defense Force was concussed by the explosion of a stun grenade. Participant of the Russian-Ukrainian war since 2014, sergeant, platoon commander of the 1st operational battalion named after Kulchytskyi, took part in the Siege of Sloviansk, where he was seriously injured: a landmine exploded under the Mykola's vehicle. In the hospital, he made an indelible impression on the 60-year-old Margarita Dovgan, who later wrote about him in the book "Hospital Notes" (2018): A strict warrior and a sunny man; she also mentioned him in an interview before her 90th birthday, in September 2020.[2]
