Vyacheslav “Syava” Matvienko is a fan of the football club “Shakhtar” (Donetsk).

Vyacheslav Olegovich Matvienko was born on April 15, 1990 in the city of Donetsk. He studied at school number 25 m. Makeevka. Among children's and youth hobbies, he paid more attention to playing football and drawing, he read a lot. After school, he continued his studies at Donetsk Polytechnic Technical School, where he received his degree in Technologist of Water Supply and Sewerage.

Vyacheslav came to the Shakhtar fan sector at the age of 16. He took an active part not only in supporting the team in the stands, but also gladly could compete with fans of other teams.

Donetsk fans were among those who not only went to pro-Ukrainian rallies in their city, but also tried to actively oppose collaborators and pro-Russian werewolves at all levels of power. But then they were in the minority, and all those who had a patriotic position - immediately found themselves under the barrel of machine guns. War literally knocked on the door of the Matvienko family when a shell flew under the window of their first-floor apartment. Forced to save their lives, he and his wife moved first to the Dnieper, and then moved to Mariupol. In 2015, their daughter Elizaveta was born, and at the end of the summer of the same year, Vyacheslav took up arms, becoming a fighter of the 54th OmbR of the Armed Forces. He took part in the battles on the Svitlodar arc and in Popasna, had awards and honors.

In 2017, while serving in the Armed Forces, he began writing a book. Unfortunately, it was in electronic form and remained on the phone. This book was about the struggle we have to fight, both in war and in everyday life. He pondered a lot - what would he do if it were not for the war. And more and more he came to the conclusion that he could no longer live without this struggle. In January 2020, he joined the ranks of “Azov”, where he took the nickname “Iceland”.

He met the beginning of a full-scale war in Mariupol as Senior Gunner of the SPG. His last words to his wife were the message: - “I'm fine. Alive healthy. The connection disappears.” Vyacheslav Matvienko died on March 22, 2022 while performing a combat mission. Awarded the Order “For Courage” III degree (posthumously).
