Vladislav “Zachiot/Zalik” Nazarenko is a fan of the football club “Arsenal” (Kharkiv), a representative of the team “Mad Rovers”.

Vladislav Sergeevich Nazarenko was born on July 15, 1982 in the city of Kharkiv. He graduated from school №169 and Kharkiv National University named after him. Karazin..

Vladislav stood at the origins of the Kharkiv Arsenal fan movement back in 2000. It was he who at the very beginning united everyone into a single and very friendly team called “Mad Rovers”, and also constantly explained and told everyone in the team the love for the tough Ukrainian-British old school.

Vladislav's teammates recall that according to the tradition of those years, he constantly loved to invent different nicknames for all the new ones who came to the sector. But the history of his own nickname was connected with the fact that instead of one very important exam at the university - he went psycho, and went during the summer session to go to Kremenchuk. He said then: “Even though I have an important score today, the love for Arsenal is more important! Subsequently, this score was not enough for him to pass the session, and, unfortunately, he was expelled from the university. Immediately he was called up for military service, and for a long year and a half he had to leave the fan movement.

In civilian life, Vlad was talented and developed in many ways. Meanwhile, he never shied away from simple hard work, until he found himself in the public procurement sector, where he and his friend from the sector made noise and fought against the rotten public procurement system. During the events of the Revolution of Dignity, this was almost the most important goal for him. He said: “Either now, or never, our people would be able to put an end to mass corruption.

He was an active participant of Maidan and made many thorough posts on this topic in social networks. In order not to be exposed - always wrote under fictitious nicknames. For example, László Imre, and some of his colleagues still know Vladislav only by this pseudonym.

With the beginning of the war in the East, Vladislav was one of the first volunteers to defend Ukraine. Side by side with other famous “cyborgs” defended Donetsk airport in 2014. In addition to remarkable intelligence, he always had a witty humor and a penchant for high matters, subtle things. For this, the brothers of the ATO era gave him the nickname “Graf”. Friends in arms characterized him as an ordinary guy who managed to transform himself from a civilian into a genius of his profession and a leader of thoughts.

Vladislav's brothers and students spoke with great respect about his knowledge and experience in the sapper business. It was said that he could lead this kind of troops, but the lack of higher education was noticeable.

After returning from ATO, Vladislav continued his favorite business - the fight against corruption during tender procurement. Who knows, perhaps thanks to his struggle, the Prozorro system later appeared. Unfortunately, then he no longer took such an active part in the restoration of the Arsenal movement and was always taciturn. Perhaps the experience experienced in the East and the loss of siblings left a heavy psychological imprint on later life.

From the first days of the full-scale invasion, Zachyot again came into arms. Participated in the defense of his hometown. Then there were operations to liberate Staryi Saltov, Balakliya and Kupyansk. He was a master sergeant - commander of 1 engineering sapper detachment of 1 engineering sapper platoon of engineering sapper company of engineering support group.

Vladislav Nazarenko died on October 18, 2023, while performing a combat mission in the area of the national park. Andriivka (Donetsk region). Awarded the Order “For Courage” III degree (posthumously). He was buried in the Bochanivsky cemetery in the city. Lyubotyn (Kharkiv region), where he lived in recent years with his mother.
