Artem “Ultras” Prilutsky is a fan of the football club “Dnipro”.

Artem Aleksandrovich Prilutsky was born on December 23, 1986 in the city of Pershotravensk (Dnipropetrovsk region). He studied at school No. 1, after which at the age of 16 he entered school No. 40, where he mastered the specialty of cook, and in a year - to the Ukrainian State University of Chemistry and Technology (electrochemistry).

From a young age he was fond of history, football, and advocating for Ukrainian sports. He played football with friends, as he did not play such a sport and did not have sports achievements.

Artem has been on the fan stand “Dnipro” since the mid-2000s. Supported the team at home and away matches. Especially memorable were trips to Kharkov, Poltava and Kryvyi Rih.

In his native Dnipro, Artem has always been a “guide” to the sector for relatives and friends who did not dare to dive into the thick of the active support of the team. Living in a hostel, he invited friends to the fan stand, joined his brother in cheering, bringing him to the stadium for the first time when he was in the 9th grade.

In civilian life, Artem's main hobbies were history, embroidery (Ukrainian ornament, towels, shirts, football and fan paraphernalia), cooking various cool dishes, Ukrainian music and cinema.

After the events of the Revolution of Dignity in 2014, Artem voluntarily joined the army. Participated in hostilities in the East of the country, in particular in Debaltseve. Awarded the medal “For participation in ATO”.

In 2015, he joined the operational reserve of the first stage. Repeatedly participated in military exercises, in particular parachuting from a helicopter.

According to the memories of his relatives, Artem hated the enemy with all his heart and felt guilty before his fallen brothers because he managed to survive.

“Teeth gritted loudly and tears were shed when it came to our dead. And when “death to enemies” was done, it raised the mood of Artem quite a bit,” his brother recalls.

With the beginning of a full-scale war - he again came to arms. “Ultras” was a fighter of the 25th Sicheslav OPdBR. He voluntarily went on the most dangerous tasks, striving always to be where he would bring the greatest benefit to Ukraine.

Artem Prilutsky died on April 1, 2022 as a result of bullet and shrapnel wounds near the city. Avdiyivka (Donetsk region). Buried in the city. Shakhtarsky (formerly. Pershotravensk). Awarded the Medal “For Military Service to Ukraine” (posthumously).
