Mobilized from Kalmykia killed in Ukraine
Oleg Dentelinov from Elista was killed in combat. Since the beginning of the military operation in Ukraine, authorities and security forces have acknowledged at least 274 fighters from Kalmykia as killed.
As reported by "Caucasian Knot", by November 11, authorities and security forces acknowledged at least 273 fighters as killed in the special military operation in Ukraine.
Oleg Dentelinov was born on May 23, 1975, in Elista. He graduated from the Elista Classical Gymnasium. He then served in the Russian army, after which he worked in law enforcement. He served for a long time under contract in Chechnya and Georgia, reported today by the state news agency RIA "Kalmykia".
In 2022, Dentelinov was called up to participate in the special military operation as part of partial mobilization. He was killed on September 22, 2024, and posthumously awarded the Order of Courage.
Thus, at least 274 combatants from Kalmykia have been officially recognized as killed on the Ukrainian front. "Caucasian Knot" maintains a named list of natives from the North Caucasus Federal District and Southern Federal District killed in the military operation. The list is compiled based on data officially announced by representatives of the authorities and security agencies, according to the "Caucasian Knot" report "Statistics of the Special Military Operation: losses are increasing for southern Russia".
It was previously reported that Bembya Shovunov from Elista was killed in the military operation.
State awards, memorial plaques, and appearances on "Channel One" do not guarantee support from the state for the families of the killed, according to the material from "Caucasian Knot" "Three comrades served: how authorities deprive families of killed volunteers of benefits", which describes the stories of killed fighters. "I receive only twelve thousand rubles a month for two minor children as a family of military pensioners," complains the wife of Vasily Shtylun, who received five million rubles from the "Veterans" unit for her husband killed in 2022.
