Vitaly Petrovich Gerasimov (Russian : Виталий Петрович Герасимов ; born 9 July 1977[1] ) is a Russian Ground Forces major general (one-star rank ), the chief of staff and first deputy commander of the 41st Combined Arms Army .
On 7 March 2022, Ukraine's Ministry of Defence announced that Gerasimov was killed in Kharkiv Oblast during the Russian invasion of Ukraine ,[2] [3] but Gerasimov was confirmed to be alive by BBC Russian when he was awarded the Order of Alexander Nevsky on 23 May 2022.[4] [5]
Early life and education
[ edit ]
Vitaly Petrovich Gerasimov was born on 9 July 1977 in Kazan .[6] Gerasimov graduated from the Kazan Higher Tank Command School in 1999 and from the Combined Arms Academy of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in 2007.[1] [7]
Military career
[ edit ]
Gerasimov fought in the Second Chechen War (1999–2000). From 2007 to 2010, he commanded a motor-rifle battalion in the North Caucasus Military District . In October 2013, as a colonel , he was assigned as commander of the 15th Separate Motor Rifle Brigade (Peacekeeping).[6]
He was awarded campaign medals for participating in the Russian annexation of Crimea in 2014, and the Russian military operation in Syria (from 2015).[2] [8] In June 2016, he was promoted to the rank of major-general .[9]
Gerasimov was claimed by Ukrainian authorities to have been killed during the Russian invasion of Ukraine on 7 March 2022 near Kharkiv , along with several other senior Russian officials.[2] [10] [11] The Ukrainian defence ministry offered no proof, and US officials and CNN were not able to verify the claim.[12] The Netherlands-based open-source intelligence (OSINT) fact-checking group Bellingcat said it had confirmed the death by accessing a Ukrainian intercept of Russian communications, as well as by means of "a Russian source".[11] [13] The Guardian newspaper reported on 8 March that the Ukrainian defence department "broadcast what it claimed was a conversation between two Russian FSB officers discussing the death and complaining that their secure communications were no longer functioning inside Ukraine".[8] Gerasimov was later seen alive when he was awarded the Order of Alexander Nevsky on 23 May.[14] [15]
