It is unclear how many soldiers from the brigade that has been killed since Russia launched its massive onslaught on Ukraine one year ago. But a local information resource is commemorating more than 65 men.

The soldiers are all presented in an online photo album. They might constitute only a portion of the actual number of killed.

The soldiers serving in Alakurtti come from all over Russia, and are believed to be Russia’s best men in Arctic warfare.
