Daniel "Himalay" Gerliani is a fan of the football club "Dynamo" (Kyiv), a representative of the "Ahnenerbe" team.

Daniel Gelaiovych Herliani - was born on June 20, 1998 in the city of Kyiv. Since 2005, he studied at school No. 218, and after the 7th grade he transferred to the Economic and Legal Lyceum with in-depth study of jurisprudence. Professional education was given easily to the young man, and his favorite subjects were history, law and literature. After the lyceum, he entered the Kharkiv National Law University named after Yaroslav the Wise to the Faculty of Prosecutor's Office, which he graduated in 2022 with a master's degree.

From elementary school, Daniel was involved in sports, in particular Greco-Roman wrestling. Performed at competitions in Kyiv and all-Ukrainian tournaments. Later, he trained already in the university section and spoke for it at competitions in the city of Kharkiv. He was fond of hiking, as well as reading fiction. "Dynamo" came to the fan sector in 2013. After getting to the podium for the first time at the invitation of a school friend, soon he began to regularly visit the sector and called his friends with him.

Actively supported the team at home and away matches, and later became one of the founders of the Ahnenerbe team. He took an active part in the life and development process of his fan group, in which he was responsible for solving many organizational issues. He became the leader of the team after the other boys unanimously spoke in favor of his candidacy. Friends recall that due to his persistence and other character traits, "Himalaya" was the best fit for this role. No matter what the situation was, he always knew how to get out of it.

On everyone who knew Daniel, he made an unforgettable impression with his smile. Friends were never bored with him on trips, and therefore tried not to miss a single outing. He himself tried to attend as many such matches as possible, including international matches of "Dynamo" in European cups. But along with this ease in communication, "Himalaya" was a very prudent and decisive person. Even before the beginning of the great war, he declared his readiness to defend the country with weapons in hand, and kept his word.

He met a full-scale Russian invasion in Kharkiv, where he had just defended his Master's thesis a few days earlier. From the very morning of February 24, he decided to return to his friends in the capital. Arriving in Kyiv, he joined the local battalion of the TrO, in which his comrades from the team were already waiting for him. He was a participant in the defense of Kyiv and one of those who found the body of his friend and teammate Denys "Stalker" Rachinsky after a Russian rocket hit the Retroville Shopping Center. After this tragedy, he decided to join SSO "Azov" Kyiv (now the 3rd OSHBr), in whose ranks he showed himself as a worthy and brave warrior.

Daniel Gerliani died on June 3, 2022 as a result of enemy artillery shelling in the Zaporizhzhia region. Relatives and friends will remember him as an optimist who saw something good in everything. The smile of "Himalaya" will now remain with them on video, in his records, and philosophical thoughts and words - in chats of the team. His toasts and phrases will be heard at their birthdays, gatherings and just meetings until he meets them again in better worlds. On December 12, 2022, he was awarded the Order "For Courage" III degree (posthumously).
