A contract soldier from the Astrakhan region was killed during military operations.
Alexey Paramonov was killed in combat. Since the beginning of the military operation in Ukraine, at least 678 fighters from the Astrakhan region have been officially recognized as killed.
As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," by January 15, at least 677 fighters from the Astrakhan region had been officially recognized as killed in the military operation, including Andrei Makhmudov, who was reported killed.
47-year-old Alexei Paramonov was born in the village of Krasnye Barrikady. He signed a contract with the Ministry of Defense and served as a senior rifleman in the assault company of a motorized rifle battalion, according to a funeral report on the soldier's funeral posted on the website of the Ikryaninsky District Administration of the Astrakhan Region.
Thus, at least 678 soldiers from the Astrakhan Region have been officially recognized as killed in the military operation. "Caucasian Knot" maintains a list of names of natives of the North Caucasus and Southern Federal Districts killed in the military operation. The list was compiled based on data officially released by government officials and law enforcement agencies, according to the "Caucasian Knot" report "Northeastern Military District Statistics: Casualties Are Mounting 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 Authorities Are Depriving Families of Killed Volunteers of Benefits," which describes the stories of fighters from other regions.
According to the "Caucasian Knot," Dagestan ranks first among the regions of the North Caucasus Federal District in the number of those killed, whose names have been officially released by the authorities. The head of Dagestan, Sergey Melikov, was the first government official to announce back in February 2022 that a Russian soldier had been killed in Ukraine, acknowledging the death of officer Nurmagomed Gadzimagomedov.
