A soldier from Dagestan was killed in combat.
Shamil Rabadanov from Izberbash was killed in combat. Since the beginning of the Russian operation in Ukraine, authorities have publicly named at least 1,834 Dagestani combatants killed there.
As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," by February 27, authorities had officially acknowledged at least 1,833 Dagestani combatants killed in Ukraine.
The regional branch of United Russia reported on the opening of a desk named after Shamil Rabadanov, killed in the military operation, at School No. 12 in Izberbash on its Telegram channel.
The announcement did not provide details about the soldier's biography or the circumstances of his death.
The Izberbash administration reported in early December 2025 Artem Gamzatov, killed in Ukraine.
Thus, at least 1,834 combatants from Dagestan have been officially recognized as killed in the combat zone in Ukraine. The "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 "NVO Statistics: Casualties Mounting in 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 Denying Benefits to Families of Killed Volunteers," which describes the stories of fighters from other regions. In the combat zone, commanders forced him to collect money, after which the young man was declared missing. "I myself was sent to the assault, where Comrade 'Spartak' said that an order had been received to zero me out," Murtazaliev says in his last video message sent to his mother.
