98th Guards Airborne Division
The 98th Guards Airborne Svirskaya Red Banner Order of Kutuzov Division is an airborne formation of the Russian Armed Forces, headquartered in Kostroma and part of the Russian Airborne Forces (VDV). It was formed during the Second World War and earned its Guards designation for its role in forcing the Svir River in 1944. Since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, units of the division have been deployed in combat operations, including in Kherson Oblast, where investigators have linked its personnel to the humanitarian consequences of the Kakhovka dam breach and the flooding of Oleshky.
