21-year-old Yaroslav went to fight following his father.

The son of Russian neo-Nazi and MMA fighter Vyacheslav Datsyk was killed in the war.
21-year-old Yaroslav Datsyk died after an FPV drone attack. This happened in the Zaporizhzhia direction, reports "Sport-Express". According to an eyewitness, Datsyk and another fighter did not manage to take cover and remained in an open area.
Yaroslav signed a contract with the Ministry of Defense in February 2024 and went to the front together with his father. They joined the 31st Separate Guards Air Assault Brigade and were stationed in Ulyanovsk.
Vyacheslav Datsyk, nicknamed "Red Tarzan", has repeatedly served time in prison for robberies and assault. He is known for his neo-Nazi views.

In July 2025, TASS reported that Datsyk Sr. continues to fight for Russia and does not plan to return to sports. Vyacheslav also has two daughters: 17-year-old Vasilisa and four-year-old Valkyrie-Zlata.
