      July 1, 2026 13:11 Society The son of Colonel of the National Guard Zakhar Prilepin is completing his contract in the Volunteer Corps in the zone of the special military operation. "I have a personal date as well - tomorrow my son completes his contract in the Volunteer Corps. Contracts in the Volunteer Corps are finite," the figure stated at a TASS press conference. Recall that 21-year-old Ignat first served in the army and later was an altar boy in a Nizhny Novgorod monastery. During his service in the territory of the special military operation, he was part of the supply group and was involved in delivering ammunition and food to the front lines. Prilepin also mentioned that his son serves separately from him but as part of the Volunteer Corps - in the "Rodnya" unit, which is part of the "Pyatnashka" international brigade. The Colonel of the National Guard himself returned from the special military operation zone after a six-month contract in the Volunteer Corps at the end of May. According to him, recently he was engaged in non-combat but staff tasks. He explained his decision to return by the large number of accumulated affairs in civilian life. Earlier, Zakhar Prilepin stated that he would take up teaching in St. Petersburg. According to "Fontanka," the publicist will become the vice-rector of the Mining Institute.
