Oleg Koltun, a combat veteran with two decades of experience in conflict zones like Yugoslavia, Libya, Syria, the Central African Republic, and Donbass, is featured in the latest episode of the Mash Regions podcast "How It Was."

Known by his call sign "Baby" due to his imposing height of almost two meters, Koltun shares stories of his time as a machine gunner in the sabotage brigade "Wolves." In the podcast, he reflects on the disappearance of his commander, who held three Orders of Courage, and recounts a harrowing incident where his fellow soldiers carried him, the most severely wounded, through a minefield in complete darkness.

To hear Koltun's compelling account firsthand, viewers can watch the episode on VK Video and listen to the audio version on the podcast platform.
