Dmitry “Pravyi” Kolesnikov is a representative of the fan movements “White Boys Club” (Dynamo, Kyiv) and “Volodymyr Ultras” (Volodymyr-Volynsky).

Dmitry Vadymovich Kolesnikov was born on January 12, 1995 in the city of Vladimir-Volynsky. He studied at school No. 3 and the local agricultural college, after which he continued his studies at the Lutsk branch of the University of Modern Knowledge with the specialty “Jurisprudence”. Since childhood, he was fond of football. Loved to play with friends both on the field and in the computer version of this sport. He remembered the lineups of many Ukrainian and foreign clubs and collected everything related to his favorite Kiev Dynamo, whose matches he watched with his dad from a young age.

Youth passion for football and the game “Dynamo” led Dmitry to actively support the capital club. I went with friends to football matches in Lutsk, Lviv and Kiev. He and his friend Andrei visited 43-45 sectors at NSC “Olimpiyskiy”, where fans usually gathered. But most of all he served at the stadium named after him. Valeria Lobanovsky. According to the memories of a friend, in 2013-14, the Kiev people held their matches at this stadium. Dmitry was more to his liking here, because the small stadium drowning in the greenery of trees on the Kiev slopes seemed more cozy and homely, and the support of the fan sector felt much more powerful.

Friends remember the capital derby in 2013, when Dynamo played against Arsenal. Everything happened literally on the eve of the beginning of the Revolution of Dignity. Then Dima and the guys first saw such a grandiose pyroshow in the sector. It was very exciting to stand in the middle of this sea of lights. Even then they felt - something was imminent. In those days, ultras were especially eager for freedom, and pyrotechnics was the embodiment of that desire. Also, Dmytro, with his company, attended the “Will of Pavlichenkam” action, during which they received their first experience of rallying. The sounds of explosions, the smell of smoke - soon all this became commonplace on the central streets of the capital.

Since the beginning of the revolutionary events of 2014, Dmitry gathered in Kiev. The parents persuaded their son not to go, and then they managed to return the 18-year-old young man halfway. But later he still went to Lviv, and from there he went with the local auto maidan to the capital, where they joined the participants of the events in the KMD. In those days, he took an active part in the confrontation with criminal authorities on the capital's Maidan. There is another case of close Dimas after the completion of the Maidan. In 2014, the European Cup match “Dynamo” against the Portuguese “Rio Ave” was preceded by an action against the concert of a pro-Russian singer in “Palace Ukraine”. There were clashes with the already renamed “Berkut” at that time, many fans did not get to the match that evening. Dmitry managed to get to the stadium, but he stayed there for a short time and went to the aid of his teammates.

After returning home, he joined the Vladimir-Volyn unit “Right Sector”, and from December 2014 became a fighter of the Voluntary Ukrainian Corps. Despite the persuasion of his mother, who did not want to let his only son go to war, he underwent training at the Desna training center and went to the front. He has been in the ATO zone since November 28, 2014. Fighter of the 1st Assault Company of the 5th Separate Battalion of the DUK, participated in the defense of Donetsk airport. His commander was Dmitry “Da Vinci” Kotsyubailo - Hero of Ukraine, and at that time a 19-year-old guy. As the commander later said: “Right” was a conscientious fighter, a good man and a faithful brother. - “Who, but me?” - he answered his mother as she tried again to bring him home.

Dmitry Kolesnikov died on February 22, 2015 during a battle near the village of Pisky (Donetsk region), as a result of a direct hit of a tank shell into a building where DUK fighters were stationed. We said goodbye to the faithful and brave son of Ukraine at the Fedorivsky cemetery in their hometown. He was awarded the Order “For Courage” of the III degree (posthumously) in 2021 and the badge “For the Defense of Donetsk Airport”. Also in Vladimir-Volynsky, a street was renamed in honor of Dmitry Kolesnikov, near the place of residence of his family. In 2016-17 and in 2022, futsal tournaments in memory of Dmitry Kolesnikov were held in Vladimir-Volynsky.
