['KURGAN UAV JOB' FRAUD -> 94% KILLED IN 108TH VDV AIR ASSAULT REGT] (444 TIMECODED LINES) · 108TH GUARDS AIR ASSAULT REGT, 7TH VDV DIV (UNIT 42091, SAVED BY AFU SURGEONS AFTER RUPTURED SPLEEN) · State Project 'I Want to Live' / 'Hochu Zhit' (@hochuzhit)

Nikita Sergeyevich Zuyev (b. 08.09.2004) (Krasny Oktyabr settlement, Kargapolsky District, Kurgan Oblast, RF)

Interviewer & Source: State Project 'I Want to Live' / 'Hochu Zhit' (@hochuzhit) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X7NBou_2Z1c)
Russian Military Unit: 108th Guards Kuban Cossack Air Assault Regiment (Military Unit 42091, Novorossiysk), 7th Guards Mountain Air Assault Division, Russian Airborne Troops / VDV (dugout partner callsign 'Vorobey', killed in action 200)
Claimed On-Camera Cover Story: 21-year-old odd-job laborer with 7 grades of schooling from rural Kurgan Oblast claims that in December 2025 (four full years into the invasion!) he 'had no idea why the war was happening and would have refused any criminal orders', signed a contract on 05.12.2025 solely to support his 17-year-old wife and two-month-old infant son Dimka after Kurgan's draft commissioner promised safe UAV drone service, allegedly never knew where in Ukraine he sat for 2+ months without firing, and believes after exchange he can simply tell Russian commanders 'I won't pick up a rifle and will sit in the rear'.
Assessed Real Operational Profile: 21-year-old rural odd-job laborer from Krasny Oktyabr, Kargapolsky District, Kurgan Oblast (7 grades of school, 0 Russian FNS reg=45 filings, underage 17-year-old wife and infant son), lured on 05.12.2025 via VKontakte ads to the Kurgan military commissariat under a fraudulent 'UAV operator' promise (military ID fabricated from scratch in 48 hours) and dumped as an expendable rifleman into the 108th Guards Air Assault Regiment (Unit 42091, 7th Guards Mountain Air Assault Division, VDV). His testimony proves that Russia's formerly elite VDV regiments now suffer the same 94% assault mortality (47/50 and 94/100 killed with zero water delivery or medevac) as penal infantry, while Ukrainian assault troops and military surgeons saved his life via emergency splenectomy and eye removal after 18–20 drone strikes ruptured his spleen.
Verified Deception & Technical/Medical Contradictions:
  • Claimed Total 'Political Blindness' in Month 46 of Full-Scale War Paired With 'I Would Refuse Criminal Orders' Bravado ([02:35]–[04:15], [13:35]–[16:18]): Insists that on 05.12.2025 he had no idea why Russia was fighting in Ukraine and first heard about Russian missile strikes killing children in Ukrainian hospitals after capture; simultaneously claims he 'would simply refuse criminal orders', having offered zero resistance when dumped straight into assault infantry instead of promised UAVs.
  • Selective Geographical 'Amnesia' in 108th VDV Regiment vs. Crisp Compass Orientation 'Walked West' ([05:32]–[06:02] vs [08:55]–[09:12]): Claims that across 6 months in the 7th VDV Division and 2+ months holding a frontline dugout he knew zero place names or directions, yet when recounting his crawl 5 minutes after partner 'Vorobey' was killed in the woods, automatically cites his exact tactical bearing toward Ukrainian lines: 'I quietly headed west and found the nearest empty dugout.'
  • Naive Post-Exchange Fantasy ('I'll Just Refuse to Take a Rifle and Sit in the Rear') While Doubting Medical Discharge Even Without an Eye & Spleen ([11:55]–[12:55]): Admits Russian military doctors may refuse to discharge him from his contract even after losing an eye and his spleen ('whether they discharge me or not, I don't know' — echoing Case #8's medical-record erasures), yet imagines Russian barrier-squad commanders will let him peacefully sit unarmed in the rear.
Concealed Facts & Interviewer Blind Spots:
  • Degradation of 'Elite' Russian Airborne Troops (108th Guards Air Assault Regt, 7th VDV Div) to 7th-Grade VKontakte 'UAV Bait' Recruits ([00:04], [01:25]–[02:18], [04:15]–[06:25]): Documents how Kurgan's military commissioner created a military ID from scratch in 2 days for a 21-year-old school dropout with no prior conscript service, hooked him with VKontakte 'UAV drone operator' flyers while his son Dimka was 1 month old, and shoved him untrained into a frontline VDV forest dugout.
  • Exact 94.0% Mortality Across 7th VDV Division Assault Waves (47 of 50 & 94 of 100 Killed) With Zero Water or Body Recovery ([00:22]–[00:32], [07:15]–[08:25], [14:15]–[14:35]): Held a forest dugout with partner 'Vorobey' for >2 months without rotation, enduring 4–5 days at a stretch without drinking water and zero medevac or corpse recovery ('Vorobey's' body left rotting in the woods), while neighboring assault waves suffered 3 survivors out of 50 (94% KIA) and 6 survivors out of 100 (94% KIA).
  • Life-Saving Emergency Splenectomy by Ukrainian Military Surgeons ([08:30]–[11:48]): Struck by 18–20 drones and munition drops from 02:00 AM, Zuyev suffered a shattered eye, battered feet, and a ruptured spleen that doctors confirmed would have killed him within hours from internal hemorrhage/peritonitis; captured on day two by three AFU soldiers who dressed his wounds and gave him water, he underwent emergency surgery the next day removing his ruptured spleen and damaged eye.

Identity & OriginNikita Sergeyevich Zuyev, b. 08.09.2004 (age 21), Krasny Oktyabr settlement, Kargapolsky District, Kurgan Oblast, RF ([00:48]–[01:16]).Depressed rural Trans-Urals settlement; 0 records in FNS reg=45. Dropped out after 7 grades of school ('bored of lessons', [01:35]); married an underage 17-year-old wife at age 20; infant son Dimka was 1 month old at contract signing ([00:00], [02:02], [14:38]).
Kurgan 'UAV' Bait-and-Switch (05.12.2025)Answered VKontakte contract ads for money; Kurgan's draft commissioner generated a military ID and full paperwork in 2 days, promising UAV drone service because Zuyev feared assault infantry — then dumped him straight into 108th Air Assault Regt (Unit 42091), 7th VDV Division as an assault rifleman ([04:15]–[06:25]).Mirrors the exact fake-UAV recruitment trap documented with Kuzbass coal miner Vitaliy in Case #8 (lRFlNW9sow4), proving even VDV divisions rely on 7th-grade deceptive intakes.
