Stanislav S. Khvostov (Harri)

Soldier Stanislav Khostov (call sign Harry) was killed in action on March 27, 2022, during the defense of Kharkiv. The warrior received a mine-blast injury incompatible with life. Stanislav was 21 years old. He was born in Kharkiv, where he finished school. After the 9th grade, he enrolled in the Kharkiv Radio Technical College in the specialty of "Computer Programming," but after a year, he decided that he wanted to study at the Center for Professional Education No. 1, where he chose the direction of "Machine Building." He planned to enter the Military Institute of the Kyiv National University named after Taras Shevchenko. In civilian life, he worked as an expeditor. He played guitar and piano. He loved kickboxing. In 2020, the guy joined the 92nd Separate Mechanized Brigade named after Koshovyi Otaman Ivan Sirko. He served in the city of Okhtyrka, Sumy region. He participated in the war in the East—defended Ukraine in the city of Popasna, Luhansk region. He received the status of a participant in the ATO. He was awarded two certificates, the chest badge "Veteran of War," and posthumously—the Order "For Courage" III degree. "Even in school, the boy stood out among his classmates with some special, non-childish seriousness. However, a soft and gentle smile, calm demeanor and endurance, and willingness to always help his comrades were the foundation of his authority among students. Stanislav had many friends. He tried to do as much as possible, as if feeling that life would go too fast for him...," wrote the administration of the Holodnogorsky district of the Kharkiv city council. The warrior was buried at the 18th cemetery in his hometown. Stanislav was survived by his mother and brother.
