Dmytro "Tyazh" Pyasetskyi is a fan of the football club "Dynamo" (Kyiv), a representative of the "Terror Family" team.
Dmytro Serhiyevich Pyasetskyi was born on July 15, 1991 in the city of Luhansk. He studied at school No. 52, and after graduating, he continued his education at the Faculty of Philosophy at the Eastern Ukrainian National University named after Volodymyr Dahl. At the university, he deliberately chose what he was really interested in, philosophy. The search for the meaning of life, the origin of the world, the purpose of a person in life, as well as the view of different cultures and prominent people on all these issues. Sports and playing the guitar were the main childhood and youth hobbies.
Dmytro devoted almost all of his free time outside of school to sports. Kyokushinkai, kickboxing, boxing, and mixed martial arts. He worked out a lot and was a trainer in the gym. Having lost his parents early, he managed to preserve his humanity. He invited teenagers from disadvantaged and socially unprotected families in his city to training, trained them for free. Subsequently, students began to win medals at domestic and foreign competitions.
He was always proud of his Ukrainian roots. When someone criticized the fact that Luhansk region is a Russified region, he liked to talk about the fact that his grandfather did not even know the Russian language. This became the foundation for Dmytro's strong nationalist views, which was not a common occurrence in Luhansk at the time.
With the beginning of the Russian invasion of eastern Ukraine in 2014, Dmytro joined the resistance to the occupiers. He has numerous street actions on his account: both public protests and direct actions. Later, the Russians declared Dmytro and his group wanted, "Tyazh" was forced to leave Luhansk.
In 2015, Dmytro met his future wife, Olga. By a whim of fate, two people from Luhansk met each other already in Kyiv, after the occupation of their native city. A year later, their first son, Vladislav, was born, and in 2019, the youngest - Oleksandr. Disciplined and sometimes strict with his students, the father raised his sons in the same way, teaching them responsibility and justice. He and his wife dreamed of giving their children a high-quality education that could develop scientific abilities in them.
In 2017, he opened the martial arts club "Valhalla Fight Club", where he continued to train students, and also provided for them on his own, taking a job as a security guard, since teenagers did not always manage to find work.
Kyiv became his place of strength. Here he first saw his future wife, here his children were born, here he opened his MMA club and joined the ranks of one of the top Dynamo teams. In all aspects of his life, Dmytro gave himself 100%: both in raising children, in friendship, in sports, and in fighting. "Tyazh" always really wanted to break through the Euro-exit together with his friends, but due to certain circumstances, he never had time to do it. His teammates remember him as an extremely sincere and decent man who was ready to help at any hour of the day.
When a full-scale war began, Dmytro immediately knew his place. Quickly chose his craft - this is a machine gun. Once, when guests from another city came to the base, he gathered everyone around him and talked about PKM for more than an hour, encouraging several boys to learn this weapon as well. On trips, he always played the role of a machine gunner in the group.
"Tyazh" was a convinced pagan and clearly understood that a warrior is on the path of death. On August 29, the Ukrainian army began its offensive on the entire southern front. Dmytro Pyasetsky died during the storming of one of the settlements. In a few days, as a result of the successful operation, Ukraine will regain hundreds of kilometers of territory in the southeast. But the beginning was precisely the offensive in the South, during which the brave Warrior gave his life. They said goodbye to Dmitry at the beginning of September on Lysia Gora, according to the pagan tradition that is respected in his family.
