Losses and investigation details
Involvement in crimes / areas of activity
The 2nd Guards Taman Motorized Rifle Division (military unit 23626) is one of the most well-known formations of the Russian Ground Forces, tracing its history back to 1940 (in its modern form, since the reorganization of the 23rd Guards Army's mechanized division in 1953), and is part of the 1st Guards Tank Army of the Western Military District. According to the Telegram channel 'Dossier of a Spy' (citing lists of servicemen), after the start of the war against Ukraine, the division faced serious personnel and discipline problems — in the words of the source, the once elite formation 'turned into a hodgepodge of criminals,' as reported by Ukrainian media (Obozrevatel). No direct documented data on the division's participation in specific battles (e.g., for Kyiv) has been found in the sources used in this study, although the division is part of the 1st Guards Tank Army, which operated in the Kyiv direction in 2022.
