Taking into account his relatives with the last name Mubarakzianov we assume that he comes from the city of Novokuybyshevsk, Samara Oblast, Russia. Ilfat holds a post of the R-330B 'Mandat' UHF jamming station officer.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/10524355_10206331612508716_1140770370685513017_n.jpg\"><img class=\"alignnone  wp-image-6948\" src=\"https:\/\/informnapalm.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/10524355_10206331612508716_1140770370685513017_n.jpg\" alt=\"10524355_10206331612508716_1140770370685513017_n\" width=\"685\" height=\"461\" \/><\/a>\r\n\r\nHere is the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fvk.com%2Fid11333210&amp;h=EAQG2ncfP&amp;enc=AZOZMUZDJ2SFrXuFT5vtBYMEiKG6LNgjVS1TqARZweaywh1K04wMQjwMqNkUcHR-hxqOUH8wfF6IFjL-STBK3OXBkEuelFTRvgacwa5flXiBe677pjyJTYUklQ46RMchG6JWQy5uEYJjMHe0cvn3zbPtNUvL8STuaxdKRg-Q9_8Vkg&amp;s=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">VK online profile<\/a>\u00a0(<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/l.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Farchive.today%2FMRVcp&amp;h=9AQEwCqNh&amp;enc=AZNWcVwubBGWeL9RIQ6q4NM-BYJZ5MIhcDybaZOL2aTVmpKw9sN2CtPO-pHWwoHsHR0dD43ChGwTK7ar2ltdOHQ8KgVgSVZ30ddB36ArYkXKkoYfcAYN7Opgf8xoHGlE537sTlnCpMGgkT3GCF8uERbkv0t0znEGV6MaUbW4kezLVQ&amp;s=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">archive<\/a>).\r\n\r\nHe also served in the 94th elite division which specialized\u00a0in guarding important state objects and special cargoes (Russian\u00a0internal troops,\u00a0military unit No. 3450) and in the 46th separate special forces brigade (military unit No. 6780, Republic of Chechnya, Russia).
