Dmitry “Kinder” Kucheryavy is a fan of the football club “Kremen” (Kremenchuk).
Dmitry Yurievich Kucheryavyi was born on June 30, 1995 in the city of Kremenchuk (Poltava region). He studied at school No. 1 of his native city, after which he entered the Kremenchuk Vocational and Technical School No. 22, where he acquired the profession of auto mechanic. Fascination with technology began from an early age, when I first saw karting. At first he repaired karts, later began to perform in competitions in which he won and took prize places.
In 2018, Dmitry began to support “Kremen” in the fan sector. His first trip was a trip to Gorishna Plavna, 17 km from Kremenchuk.
He was a member of the Kremenchuk branch of the organization “National Corps”: engaged in social and useful activities, participated in protests.
In civilian life, Dmitry worked as an auto mechanic and auto locksmith. I constantly looked for myself in work, managed to work in Poland, but in 2019 returned home. According to the memories of loved ones, he was an incredibly kind and responsible person. Devoted to friends, always came to the rescue, despite the circumstances and time of day.
Back in 2015, they met their future wife Irina, when Dmitry moved with his family to a house nearby. At that time, they hardly communicated, but everything changed after his return from abroad.
In the summer of 2019, Dmitry began serving in the 80th Separate Assault Brigade. During the years, the PLO served as a liaison officer in the eastern direction, in particular in the city of Schastya (Luhansk region), was engaged in setting up communications at checkpoints. In parallel, he studied at the Classical Private University in the specialty “Management”.
A few weeks after the start of a full-scale war, Dmitry and Irina decided to get married, having met in a coffee shop in Kryvyi Rih for only 15 minutes. We dreamed of a family, two children and trips to the mountains, where Dmitry really liked. Only that there must be karting.
Meetings with his beloved were infrequent, because from the beginning of the large-scale invasion Dmitry took part in fierce battles in various directions: Nikolaev region, Kharkiv region, Donetsk region, Luhansk region. He performed not only combat tasks, but also repaired starlines and communications, adjusted and stitched radios, adjusted military equipment, evacuated the wounded, saving the lives of comrades.
The brothers recall one of the operations during which “Kinder” helped save the brothers, risking their own lives. They say that he was an excellent specialist and professional, and also the soul of the company, who could always find a compromise.
Dmitry Kucheryavyi died on December 17, 2024 as a result of rocket fire near the village. Martynivka (Kursk region, Russia). He was buried on the Alley of Glory of the Svishtov cemetery in Kremenchug. Awarded the Order “For Courage” III degree (posthumously).
Eternal glory to the Hero!
