According to information from Phillipov\u2019s account in VK, his hometown is Krasnodar, and Vladivostok is the city of residence.\u00a0Based on this information, it can be assumed that Filippov is serving in the 155th Separate Marine Brigade (military unit 30926, home base in Vladivostok).\r\n\r\n<img class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Selection_406-600x480.png\" width=\"241\" height=\"195\" \/><img class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Selection_405-600x480.png\" width=\"243\" height=\"196\" \/>\r\n\r\n<img src=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Selection_407-600x480.png\" \/>\r\n\r\nPresumably, in early May, Marines from Vladivostok replaced a unit from Murmansk due to a troop rotation.
