Bagira, the most famous sniper on the Ukrainian front, is in fact Danijela Lazovic, a Serb from Gornji Milanovac. Earlier, the media revealed the path of her life: from a successful athlete to a convicted drug trafficker and a nun, to the “protective face” of Serbs on the Ukrainian battlefield.
Ukrainian spies recently reposted a list of all Serbian fighters on their battlefield on the Internet. According to data from our services, the number is decreasing, but this issue always threatens to have a negative impact on diplomatic relations between the two countries.
Among the Serbian volunteers fighting on the side of the pro-Russian forces, the nom de guerre of Bagira especially resonates, a sniper who was at one time perhaps the most famous foreign fighter on that bloody battlefield.
The Ukrainian media have written about this Serbian woman on several occasions, but her identity, details of her life and how she was recruited have remained hidden until now. In all appearances in local media or on social media, she hid her face with a headscarf and never spoke about her life.
Due to the aura of mystery, but also the deadly sniper for which she became famous, Bagira acquired an almost mythical status among our fighters. However, while the life story of this 32-year-old girl from Gornji Milanovac sounds like a movie, it is by no means a positive heroic example of a female warrior as she is portrayed.
– Danijela Lazović coached handball when she was young and was very successful in sports. Due to training, she moved from Gornji Milanovac to Golubac, near the Tumane monastery. At one point, she wanted to change her religion, be a Muslim, however, she gave up and decided to go to a monastery. It was not clear to anyone how it arose, since we knew its nature. I’m not even sure she was an adult back then, says a source close to the sniper’s family. Danijela was given a new name then: mother Ksenija.
– He often went to Belgrade, although no one knew why. He reportedly stayed with a friend. As soon as he left the monastery, he took off his cloak and behaved completely differently. His visits to Kosovo were more frequent, everything was under a veil of secrecy. After a while, he became suspicious of the police, says the source.
Soon, to general amazement, it was discovered that “mother Ksenija” is actually into narcotics, which she often consumes herself, continues our source. For that act, she was arrested and sentenced to prison. After getting out of jail, Daniela literally disappears. Break contacts with family, friends and start a whole new life. According to information, she left Serbia in November 2014.
– He went to the territory of eastern Ukraine, to the place of Snezhnoye, and joined the “Oplot” command, which included a pro-Russian paramilitary unit called “Regiment of Serbian Hussars”. Within this unit, Lazović was in the position of an infantryman, while later she was deployed in a platoon that specializes in shooting down drones. He participated in several armed actions in the Donbas area, where he excelled in his skills in handling a sniper, says the interlocutor.
In June 2015, the Chief Prosecutor in Belgrade took evidentiary action against Danijela Lazović on suspicion that he had committed the crime of participation in war or armed conflict. As she did not respond to the summons, she was ordered to be interrogated, but the police determined that she had not lived in the home where she was reported for years and that her whereabouts were unknown to her family. Since then, she has become a true “icon” of pro-Russian volunteers in Ukraine, and has often expressed her political views.
During an interview he gave to the Donetsk news agency, he spoke fluently in Russian that he opposed Serbia’s membership in the EU, stating that he came to the Ukrainian battlefield solely out of gratitude to Russia and its people. It is not known if the motives of the unit were decisive in their departure to the battlefield: the “salary” for such military services varies according to the merits and rank of the warrior and sometimes reaches up to 2,000 dollars a month.
In June 2016, public information about Bagira’s death in a conflict with the Ukrainian security forces in the vicinity of Gorolovka appeared, but it turned out to be misinformation. She has lived in Russia with her partner for several years.
