Legendary Russian paratrooper colonel. Anatoly Vjačeslavič Lebed (* 10.05.1963), the holder of a number of Russian decorations (including Hero of the Russian federation) and member 45. separate guards regiment of the Spetsnaz VDV, was tragically killed in a traffic accident on Friday 27.04.2012 on his motorcycle east of Moscow.
In the fighting in Chechnya, he lost his leg and yet still with your unit served. Then fought against Georgia and his paratroopers sunk enshrined the Georgian fleet.
RIP

PS: interesting coincidence... almost exactly 10 years ago killed his namesake, general Alexander Lebed (+ 28.04.2002).
