Mikhail Tolstykh Biography

Mikhail Tolstykh is one of the most popular and richest Military Commander who was born on July 19, 1980 in Ilovaisk, Donetsk Oblast, Ukraine.

In his interview to Komsomolskaya Pravda and other Russian mass-media, Tolstykh claimed that he was from Ilovaisk and served in the Ukrainian Army from 1998 to 2000 before working at a sling rope factory and as a security guard in a supermarket (although Tolstykh said he had speech impediment which barred him from serving in the Ukrainian army). In an interview he stated that his great-grandfather was an ethnic Georgian. His nickname Givi is Georgian.

In January 2015, several videos surfaced of Tolstykh physically abusing prisoners captured at the Second Battle of Donetsk Airport. Tolstykh is seen clearly identifying himself before grabbing the prisoners by the face, brandishing a dagger, and cutting off military insignia and forcing prisoners to eat them. Oleksandra Matviychuk, head of the Kiev-based Center for Civil Liberties, calls what appears in the videos “flagrant violations of the Geneva Conventions” and says she is preparing the groundwork for prosecution.
