One of the most colorful personalities in the past year was the figure of a 43-year-old retired Colonel Igor strelkov (Igor Vsevolodovich Girkin). Lately, this colourful character has become a legend, and had attracted a lot of media attention around the world. Who is this Girkin-Strelkov? His biography up to a point remained a mystery for his supporters and for people who didn't adhere to his position. So today we will speak about it.
“Shooter”, aka Girkin, born in an ordinary military family on December 17, 1970. As they say the parents of the future the history buff, it was already clear that their child is special, and that he is prepared for a difficult fate. And so it happened.
From a very young age, little Igor was interested in history. He liked the knights, mythical and fairy-tale characters and, of course, the heroes who saved the world from another end of the world. However, at the time they were somewhat different than modern Spider-Man, Batman, and other heroes. However, all of them were interested in Igor Strelkov (Girkin). The biography of this hero of our time quite full.
In school he read a lot, did well in school and even went to the gold medal. Many of his classmates, as it turned out, believed it to be introverted and a little strange (most likely due to the fact that our hero gave preference to books, not live communication). But in General he was an ordinary boy who could fight, and misbehave.

After school, Igor Strelkov-Girkin (his biography is presented in this article) have successfully passed exams and entered University historical archives orientation. According to many former classmates “Arrow” that was a smart and serious student but also a reliable friend. He did well and with his head immersed in the story. According to them, young Girkin easily mastered every science and mastered the items in the program of the Institute. So, Igor would be easy to demonstrate on the map of any country and tell in detail about her history, about the battles and more.
In Addition, strelkov was interested in the form of war, which, it seemed, he knew everything. Therefore, young Igor could easily identify the shape of a war and say what the country is like clothes etc it would be easy to tell Girkin-Strelkov. Biography this character does not contain a bright student realities, as the young Igor didn't love noisy parties, and tried to avoid them. The only thing that interested the young man, – is held in the first year of archaeological excavations in Pskov. There is a promising young man had a great time and got a lot of useful information.
Since 1989, Igor was seriously interested in the history of the so-called White movement and its reconstruction. This allowed him to find like-minded people and reality to embody a historical event, which only vaguely resembled theatrical performances of the ancient pre-war plays.
In 1993, Igor graduated from College and got a degree in history. However, as an ordinary teacher of history it is not attracted. On the contrary, it was attracted by the military, and then he actually went in the footsteps of his father. It is so ordered fate, according to himself Girkin (arrows). Biography of the historian ends, and begins a career of the military. However, history has repeatedly come in the work of Igor Vsevolodovich.
A career in the Military “Arrow” started with the army. In the period from 1993 to 1994 he was in the service in the VSRF of 190 missile base in Golitsyno. He later decided to stay in the service and work under the contract. However, he first was part of an infantry brigade, and several years later took pride of position in military intelligence. And served Girkin (Shooters). His biography, at least, does precisely that.
In his own words Igor Ivanovich, and his real name and middle name - Igor Vsevolodovich, service in the army, our hero has devoted 18 years. He has gone from private and military to a position of Deputy commander of the Central office. However, Girkin's career is not over.
The next stage of his military career, it appeared likely to serve as a volunteer in his heart to the zone of the conflict in Transnistria. It is here that the biography Girkin (strelkov), Igor Ivanovich took an unexpected turn. Our hero noticed, as he proved himself as a skilled fighter and a great commander. In Transnistria “Shooter” directly involved in military battles from Kosnica and to Bender in the summer of 1992.
In November 1992, Gunmen went to volunteer at the hot spot in Bosnia. There he happily included in the second Russian group of volunteers, in whose ranks he served inthe period from November 1992 to March 1993. At the time, he tried not to catch the eye of the press and especially not to stand out among other Russian volunteers. Later, from March to October 1995, Igor Ivanovich went to Chechnya, where he fought in the Russian spetsnaz guards brigade 166. There he participated in combat operations and was engaged in the execution, development and implementation of reconnaissance missions.
Later, Igor Girkin (biography of him, as you can see, very full of military events) has returned to Russia. There he performed certain secret orders. Other sources insist that at this time “Shooter” was part of the circle close to the Russian defense Ministry.
And later he was a direct participant in the round table in Syria, where, as some sources, served as a kind of “agent of influence”. In August 1996, Igor came to the FSB, where as one of the best employees engaged in the fight against international terrorists. There Girkin resigned in January 2013.
The decision was due to several reasons, one of which, in the words of Igor Ivanovich, “the lack of prospects for career growth”. So later put it in an interview about himself Girkin Igor Vsevolodovich. Biography of his rather eventful. But it is still "foreign missions" our hero after the departure of his from the FSB?
Our hero was tempted by the prospect of civilian life. It is possible that he is somewhat tired of military Affairs and for a short time “underground” after holding the post of Advisor safety in one of the private organizations.
In 2014 the arrow again hit the center of military operations. This time he was in the Crimea, where he assisted in the holding of a referendum. There is also information about what “Shooter” sang the role of military adviser to the Prime Minister Sergei Aksenov.
In April of this year, Igor Strelkov (biography, family - all of this you can read in our article) with a few loyal men went in Slavyansk, Donetsk region. And in may of the same year it was appointed the Minister of defence of Donetsk people's Republic (which, following the example of Crimea was proclaimed the results of the national referendum).
Several months later it is already quite “Mature” military grouping of small arms was completely surrounded. For this reason, he decided to bring her to the capital of the breakaway Republic of Donetsk. Here he also created the army, helped to combine the volunteer and the rebel battalions. That is evidenced by such a famous man as Igor Girkin, biography. His family (sister and mother) at that time remains in Russia. Then, for some reason, he left his post in the Republic and emigrated to Russia, where so far has been collecting humanitarian aid to send it to the Donbass.
Since its involvement in the Ukrainian conflict Gunmen gained recognition as an experienced commander, organizer and leader. He was respected by the militia, colleagues, it was sympathetic female half of the Donetsk region. What do people think about this, Igor Strelkov? Biography (personal life) tells the hero that he had previously been married twice. From previous marriages he has two sons (approximately ten and sixteen years). However, in the Crimea, “Arrow” flashes of new love. On 17 December last year he married one of his assistants, which is 16 years younger than him.
Currently, Igor lives with his wife in a house in the suburbs and yet, according to him, not planning to go on a “foreign business trip”.
