Vitalii V. Kolomiiets (Tankist)

He was born into a family of a military serviceman (his father retired as a colonel) and a teacher. From 1987, he studied at a military institution (presumably the Chelyabinsk Tank Military School), but did not graduate. Subsequently, for four years, from 1990 to 1994, he worked in the Bila Tserkva District Department of Internal Affairs. To support his family, Vitaliy Valeriyovych became a private entrepreneur - a route taxi driver. He devoted much time to public activities, was an activist of the VO "Svoboda" and the public formation "Shchit", and participated in the events of the Revolution of Dignity. In May 2014, as a volunteer, he joined the military reserve of the National Guard of Ukraine, taking the position of senior rifleman-machine gunner of the "Donbas" battalion.
