 Since Q20 has just been asked, I'll toss a free guess, since why not: Oleksandr Syrskyi (current CiC of Ukraine)
No.

Scratch that. It was already asked.
Duly scratched. (I almost picked Arkhipov for this round.)

Unless I missed something, this person wasn't necessarily born in the Soviet Union. They could have been born in Warsaw for example, since that's part of the "former Russian Empire". However,, the language question makes that less likely.
I think Russian Empire would be interpreted as 1721-1917 as per wikipedia so I think assuming Sovite Union is safe.
The question actually said "former Russian Empire". But my point is moot due to the QM's post.

My interpretation was: was this person born in what was *at the time* either the USSR or Russian Empire? You can infer based on that.

What about "militarily active after 2021" as a question?

 What do yall think a good 20th question would be? Some options:

- narrow down time period
- find out what branch of the military this person was involved in (KGB agent maybe?)
- find out what type of weapon this person is associated with
not the third one, could just be generally associated being military

We don't know alive or dead.

I suspect associated with Ukraine conflict so we could ask "features on this wikipedia page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_invasion_of_Ukraine_order_of_battle

Thoughts?
