51-year-old intelligence officer Oleg Anisimov (call sign Molfar) was killed on March 1, 2023, while carrying out a combat mission between the villages of Vodiane and Pisky in the Donetsk region. The defender sustained a penetrating gunshot wound during enemy shelling. Oleg was born and lived in Dnipro. He studied at local school No. 125, then graduated from a vocational school. He worked in the paramilitary security of the "Ukrzaliznytsia" railway, holding the position of senior shooter. He loved animals and the sea. In his youth, he practiced martial arts, and then constantly maintained his physical fitness. He also read a lot. With the start of the full-scale invasion on March 1, 2022, the man voluntarily joined the Armed Forces of Ukraine. He served in the 53rd separate mechanized brigade named after Prince Vladimir Monomakh. He fought in the hot spots of the Donetsk region. After one of the reconnaissance missions to evacuate prisoners from the occupied territory, he was promoted to the rank of junior sergeant. "Oleg is a person with a capital letter, a brave warrior who participated in various operations near Klishchiyivka, Vuhledar, Bakhmut, and so on. He was wounded multiple times. In December 2022, he sustained a severe gunshot wound and numerous shrapnel wounds, with a punctured lung. After the medical commission, he returned to the ranks again, refusing to take advantage of the fact that I am a disabled person of the 2nd group. He said: 'This is mine... And who, if not me... How will I then look you and the guys in the eye?'" - his wife Larysa said. The warrior was buried in the Dnipropetrovsk region. Oleg is survived by his wife, relatives, friends, and comrades-in-arms.
