Video from 23-year-old Vlad Zadorin's Instagram page shows that he was a young man who enjoyed life in the military, and having a good laugh from time to time.

Vlad Zadorin is one of the thirteen Soldiers who was killed by a Russian Warship while guarding Snake Island. His small squad-sized unit is famous for their last words. "Russian Warship. Go f*ck yourselves." Seconds after delivering that defiant last message to a Russian warship that was demanding their surrender, a naval weapons strike was conducted against their position and all thirteen Soldiers were killed.

This video gives us a little bit of humanity behind one of the men responsible for that last act of defiance.
