Andrey Solomatin
Andrey Solomatin is a former Russian football player known for his involvement in the Espanola unit, a group composed of football hooligans and far-right volunteers fighting alongside Russian forces in Ukraine. His participation in this controversial unit, which gained notoriety for its role in some of the bloodiest attacks during the Ukraine conflict, highlights the intersection of sports culture and nationalist movements in Russia. Solomatin's affiliation with Espanola has made him a prominent figure within this context, especially following the unit's decision to dissolve and integrate into the regular army after the Wagner uprising.
