During the OSINT investigation by InformNapalm we found the information which was disclosed in the interrogation of the captured Russian GRU Spetsnaz servicemen about their fellows – Russian GRU Spetsnaz servicemen involved in the active combat near the town of Shchastya on May 16, 2015.

The information on the commander of the second unit, corporal ‘Kutulakhmetov Ruslan Zaurovich’, was found. To be exact, his correct name is ‘Kutluakhmetov Ruslan Zauilovich’.

Having listened to the video of interrogation of Sergeant Aleksandrov (starting from 2:20), it becomes apparent, that the last name is not pronounced clearly. The Internet search shows no results on ‘Kutulahmetov’, it seems that such name does not exists at all. One can see search results here. But if you ask the know-all Google it immediately suggests correcting the search inquiry from ‘Kutulakhmetov’ to ‘Kutluakhmetov’.

In his interrogation sergeant Aleksandrov pronounces Kutluakhmetov’s middle name correctly with the letter ‘L’ – Zauilovich, but it is misspelled in the subtitles as ‘Zaurovich’.

One can only guess if it the surname and middle names were misspelled on purpose or not.

It should be mentioned, that the combination of the name, surname and patronymic of Kutluakhmetov Ruslan Zauilovich is a rare one, that is why the search range was rather narrow and the probability of hitting the right target is very high.

According to the refined data, the commander of the second unit, corporal Kutluakhmetov Ruslan Zauilovich, before his service in the 3rd special brigade in Tolyatti, was a regular serviceman in the 83rd separate guards airborne brigade based in Ussuriysk (Russia).

Kutluakhmetov Ruslan Zauilovich was born on October 14, 1991, presumably in the town of Beloretsk (Republic of Bashkortostan, Russia), then moved to live in the city of Tolyatti where he had his regular military service in the third separate brigade of GRU.

The ‘wipers’ from the Russian special service by constant deleting profiles in the social networks confirm the importance and necessity of this information. Let me remind you, that everything that has got ‘into the Internet’ is saved forever.
