The 64th Separate Guards Motor Rifle Brigade (Military Unit Number 51460) was a motorized infantry brigade of the Russian Ground Forces. Based at Knyaze-Volkonskoye, near Khabarovsk, the brigade was part of the Eastern Military District's 35th Army. The brigade's acting commander in May 2022 was Lt. Colonel Vasiliy Shcherbakov.[1]
The brigade was formed as the 882nd Motor Rifle Regiment, which transferred to the Far East in 1967, and which was converted into a brigade in 2009.
The brigade was among the units that perpetrated the Bucha massacre during the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.[2][3] After the Russian retreat from Kyiv Oblast, the brigade was elevated to a guards unit, before being redeployed to fight in the battle of Donbas in the beginning of April, attempting to advance in the Izium sector. While attempting to do so it engaged in near constant attacks, resulting in it being rendered combat ineffective by the end of June, and completely obliterated during the Kharkiv counteroffensive of September. The intensity of its combat operations was allegedly to dispose of the unit for its role in numerous war crimes.
