Viktor Mikhailovich Adamishin (Russian: Виктор Михайлович Адамишин; 25 March 1962 – 7 April 1995) was a Russian militia captain. In 1995 he was killed during a military operation in the Chechen village of Samashki, and was awarded posthumously the title Hero of the Russian Federation on August 25, 1995.[1][2]

During a military operation in Samashki, Adamishin's unit was surrounded by militants and pinned down by heavy fire. During the fighting, Adamishin's squad became surrounded and formed a defensive circle. Viktor decided to organize a breakthrough for his unit and remained behind to provide covering fire. Adamishin was mortally wounded during the skirmish and died on the battlefield.[1]

Adamishin was posthumously awarded the Russian Order of Courage in 1995.[1]
