Oleg “Suhar” Mudrak is a fan of the football club CSKA (Kyiv), a representative of the team “Trouble Company”.
Oleg Vasilyevich Mudrak was born on August 20, 1987 in the city of Kiev. He studied at school No. 193. Still at school, he firmly decided to serve in the army for himself. At school he was not an excellent student, but he studied very hard. For hours he could read books about the Second World War, mentally immersing himself in the events of that war.
After graduating from school, Oleg waited more than a year to be drafted, and in order not to waste time, he went to work in one of the famous capital's supermarkets. His area of responsibility was snacks, crackers, chips — which is why among the fan movement, and later in the war, he would be given the symbolic nickname “Crackers”.
Since childhood, he was fond of sports: in the 5th grade he was engaged in rowing, went canoeing from the Dnieper to Desna. Over time, he began to show interest in martial arts - 6-7 classes were judo, taekwondo and karate. However, all these sections and coaches were “one-time” and it was not possible to systematically engage. As a student of the 8th grade, Oleg found his sport - it was the “School of Courage” in Obolon, a section on aikido, under the guidance of the coach and St. Sei Alexander Eduardovich Oborsky.
Oleg was demobilized from military service in the fall of 2006, and until 2014 he was systematically engaged in kickboxing in SC “Fortuna” in Vinohradar.
He came to the fan sector of the capital CSKA in the senior grades, in 2004. Teammates recall a funny story with the participation of Oleg, which happened at the beginning of his fan journey. On September 11, 2005, Dynamo Kyiv played away with Odessa Chernomorets. In those days, Kyiv was still a city without derbies — Dynamo and CSKA fans always stood for the capital, not for clubs. Oleg and his friends went by train to Odessa. The total composition was 17 people. In parallel with the buses to Odessa, the gang “Capitals” went to live with the Odessa residents, which after a steep carpentry received nuts from the pirates. So some Kiev people are beaten, we need to take revenge. A squad of 17 people, including Oleg, is put on the stadium. From Kanatnaya Street we turn around the corner to Sabansky lane, ignite the smoke. And through all this alley, under the monument of Kobzar, we can see at once a hundred pairs of raised hands: - Come on, let's go! Oleg with enough eyes - there are a hundred of them, and we are 17! - We got carried away! That's what we wanted, boys! The street carcass lasted 5 minutes until the parties broke up the acab. During this whole fight, it's not that Oleg never fell, he knocked 3 or 4 opponents on his chest, and at the same time he managed to help his friends climb off the asphalt.
A week after this departure, Oleg goes to undergo military service to the brigade 3027, special unit “BARS”, 4 special purpose battalion.
Oleg was a participant in the revolution of dignity, after which it was decided to create his own football team. The goal was simple: to assemble a small strong team that would be focused on the two streets of the city. The forest is only training for young people. So, on March 23, 2014, the team for the first time announced itself at a fan tournament in Sumy, what is DR “Trouble Company”. Oleg's authority was so high that not only young people, but also older guys, company leaders, his childhood friends turned to him exclusively Oleg Vasilyevich.
After returning from the army, he enters the National Aviation University, in the field of “Telecommunications and Communications”. It is appropriate to say that in 35 years Oleg managed to obtain 3 higher educations — technical, military and legal.
During the period from 2006 to 2014, he knew for sure that he wanted to be a special officer, but in cool units such as the SBU “ALPHA”, or the special forces of the Ministry of Internal Affairs “Omega”. At that time, it was impossible to get caught without a big splash. “Berkut” - Oleg frankly despised, and even better to say “prescient to omerzenia”. However, until 2014, he did not give up trying to get his dream job, during the same period he worked as an engineer of structured cable systems, bartender, security guard.
Close friends, with whom Oleg went to football matches, recall that he was the soul of the company, always joked wittily, could stand up for friends and never gave up. And also pleased friends with the preparation of cocktails with elements of freestyle. In addition to sports and football adventures, Oleg loved rock music. A special place in his life was occupied by the band Metallica. On August 18, 2019, he fulfilled one of the biggest dreams of his life - together with his brothers OSZP “AZOV” he attended a concert of his favorite band in Prague. This is a story about the fact that Oleg made any dream his goal and always achieved it.
With the beginning of the ATO, Oleg, together with several friends, went to the front. He informed his decision only to a small circle of relatives, strictly forbidding him to speak to his mother.
The brothers recall that “Sukhar” from the very beginning aimed to get to “Azov”. As part of the unit, he established himself as a rock man, was an example of resilience and courage. Participated in operations in Lebedinsky, Vodyan, Shyrokyne. Everywhere he showed himself as a determined warrior, and in the end he was appointed commander of the 1st battalion of the OZSP “Azov” of the NGU. Passed the path from soldier to combatant. He was a machine gunner, a detachment commander, a platoon commander, a company commander, a battalion commander.
Sukhar met the beginning of a full-scale invasion in Mariupol. No matter how difficult the situation was, the commander did not let the fighters lose heart, was determined to stand to the last in the city surrounded by the enemy.
Released by order of captivity in May 2022, Oleg got to the colony in Olenivka (Donetsk region). On the night of the attack, he was in a nearby barracks from where the enemy blew up the Ukrainian military. For a long time, relatives and friends did not have information about the whereabouts and condition of “Sukhar”, until they saw footage in which he was difficult to recognize due to his weight and exhausted appearance.
After returning from captivity, Oleg underwent treatment, saw friends and thought about returning to the front. He was awarded the Order of “Bogdan Khmelnitsky” III degree, the Cossack Cross of the II degree, the Medal of the Ministry of Internal Affairs “Defender of Mariupol”, the Honorary Commendation of the Commander of OTU Mariupol “For the Defense of Mariupol”, the Order of the Azov Regiment - “Shirokin Operation”, Badge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs “For Valorous Service”, Breastplate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs “For service”, Commendation of the President of Ukraine “For participation in the anti-terrorist operation”.
The most difficult moments seemed to be behind.
But on February 21, 2023, the warrior's heart stopped during a trip to Dnipro, where he went on business with several brothers. The torture and torture experienced in captivity could not break the commander's iron will. Unfortunately, he was physically shaken...
Farewell to Oleg Mudrak was held on February 25 at one of the bases of “Azov” in the presence of comrades of the combatant. The dust of “Sucharya” was dispersed by its commander Hero of Ukraine - Druh Radis, together with his brothers and relatives over the Dnieper in Kiev under the composition of the band Metallica, as he bequeathed “Suchar”.
On June 13, 2024, Kyiv Secondary School №193, where Oleg Mudrak once studied, was renamed Lyceum No. 193 named after Oleg Mudrak. On August 29, 2024, the former street was renamed in his honor. General Naumov in the Svyatoshinsky district of Kiev.
Eternal glory to the Hero!
