Here is a photo of a memorial to servicemen of the 17th Motor Rifle Brigade, located in the town of Shali, Chechen Republic, Russia. Nine out of ten “died in the line of duty” in Ukraine in August, 2014.
We have mentioned some of the names that are listed on the memorial before – Kuzmin, Larionov, Araptanov and Ivanov. I wrote about them in August and September of last year.

Based on the fact that January of 2015 was much “busier” than August of 2014, soon we can expect to see many more similar photographs from different regions of the Russian Federation with tens of names of Russian servicemen killed in Ukraine.

Tochka-U, Russian Military Losses, and Other Coincidences Of August 2014 - InformNapalm.org (English)[…] We quickly found the confirmation of the deaths of four servicemen of the 17th Separate Motorized Rifle Brigade of the Russian Army (military unit 65384, based in Shali, Chechen Republic) on August 13th, 2014.
