Maxim Archugov was born in the city of Volnovakha, Donetsk region. He graduated from the Volnovakha Vocational Technical School, specializing as a tractor driver-machine operator in agricultural production, a locksmith for the repair of agricultural machinery and equipment, and a driver of motor vehicles. In 2021, he began working on the railway as a station worker at the Volnovakha station of the regional branch "Donetsk Railway," with subsequent training as a train assembler.

In October of the same year, Maxim was called up to the Armed Forces of Ukraine. He served his conscription in Zhytomyr. He served as a driver in the 1st assault squad of the 3rd assault platoon of the 2nd assault company of the 2nd assault battalion.

21-year-old soldier Maxim Archugov was killed on January 3, 2025, in the village of Hrakove, Kharkiv region.

Colleagues remember Maxim as a cheerful and open-hearted young man: "Maxim didn’t work at the station for even a month, but he established himself as a responsible worker, friendly, attentive, and balanced. He loved life." In a statement from the Zhytomyr City Council, it is noted: "Maxim was passionate about computer technology, was cheerful and kind-hearted. He had many friends, was the life of the party, dreamed of learning to play the guitar, starting a family, building a big house, and living in a peaceful Ukraine."

Maxim is survived by his parents and his beloved girlfriend. We express our deepest condolences to his family and loved ones.

The team at the Volnovakha station of the regional branch "Donetsk Railway" deeply mourns this irreparable loss. Eternal memory and honor to our colleague and hero!
