As a boy Slava fled Russia with part of his family when the Soviet Union came apart. He was transplanted from an east European city to the fields of Iowa where he didn’t know the language or customs.

Slava overcame these challenges to serve as a US Army Sniper and suburban SWAT Cop. He leads a popular tactical fitness and lifestyle channel @ToTheCoreActual where he demonstrates impressive kettlebell workouts and much more.
