Andonov was born in 1978 in the Russian province of Buryatia. ''The Sun'' reports that he enlisted in Wagner Group in 1997. His first known military service was in 2014, where he volunteered to join the War in Donbass after hearing reports of rioting and [[arson]] in the Ukrainian city of Odessa. In 2015, Andonov was among the Russian troops who captured the town of Logvinovo. Shortly afterwards, three prisoners of war (Oleksandr Berdes, Vasiliy Demchuk, and Pavlo Plotsinskiy) were murdered by the Russians and buried in a shallow grave. Several media sources have named Andonov as the killer. He also fought in the Battle of Debaltseve, one of the final significant battles of the initial conflict, and was awarded a medal for his service.
