Bio

Oleg Naumov was born in 1977 in Russia. He began using drugs at a young age. He became addicted to drugs when he was just 13 years old. Naumov eventually became a soldier in the Russian army. He served on Sakhalin Island, which is located in the far eastern part of Russia. The army during this time was facing many challenges, including issues with discipline and substance abuse. These problems were common among soldiers, and Naumov was part of this environment.

While in the army, Naumov continued to struggle with his drug addiction. He used glue and inhaled acetone fumes while on duty. Despite his drug problems, his commanders were unaware of Naumov's history and struggles.  At the age of 20, Naumov was stationed at a remote military base.
