Zakhar Prilepin is going to return to the SVO zone in November.

      Writer and chairman of the board of the Nizhny Novgorod regional branch of the “Union of Writers of Russia” Zakhar Prilepin is planning to return to the zone of the special military operation in November this year. He said this in an interview with TASS.

      The writer announced his decision to resume service several months ago. At the end of October he confirmed his intention. It is now known that the contract has been signed.

      “The receiving side has already said verbally: ‘Yes, of course, come in,’” the writer said. Zakhar Prilepin expects to join the unit in November this year.

      Recall that since 2014 Zakhar Prilepin has visited the Donbass repeatedly — first on a humanitarian mission, and later as a war correspondent. From 2016–2018 he held the position of deputy commander of a special forces battalion for personnel affairs in the DPR army, and then returned to Russia.

      In January 2023 Prilepin signed a contract with the National Guard and went to the SMO zone. In May 2023 an assassination attempt was carried out against the writer in the settlement of Pionersky in the Nizhny Novgorod region. As a result of the explosion, Prilepin’s comrade Alexander Shubin, who had served with him before and after the start of the special military operation, including as part of the Rosgvardiya battalion “Oplot,” was killed. Prilepin sustained multiple injuries.

      On June 6, 2023 Vladimir Putin, President of the Russian Federation, presented Zakhar Prilepin with the Order of Courage. Already in August of the same year Prilepin took the position of deputy commander of the National Guard special-purpose regiment “Oplot” for military-political work, with the military rank of Rosgvardiya lieutenant colonel.

      In September 2025 Zakhar Prilepin headed the Nizhny Novgorod branch of the Union of Writers of Russia. Earlier Zakhar Prilepin, in an exclusive interview with the pravda-nn.ru editorial office, spoke about how the Donbass is changing and which path Russia will take.
