A quick update on the “Cocky Lawyer.” I spoke with him a few days ago, and Andrey is alive and doing well. Over time, he grew into a specialist role, so his work is now more on the support and technical side. He was drafted in the fall of 2022, so it’s been over three years already. Hard to believe how fast time goes…
He also sent me a recent photo, but asked that the background be blurred.

For those who are new to the channel, I met Andrey, who is a lawyer by trade, at an enlistment center in Moscow during the mobilization campaign. Because of his outspoken and bold attitude, people quickly nicknamed him the “Cocky Lawyer.” Many were convinced he wouldn’t last long at the front, but not only did he survive, he’s grown into a seasoned veteran.

Unfortunately, I had to temporarily take down a few videos Andrey and I recorded when he was home on rotation. The original video from the enlistment center where I first met Andrey is still available, and you can find it on Rumble, which is now my main platform for long videos.
