Naming help?

[vashtan.livejournal.com]

Since this community has been a great help before, I'd like to exploit your generosity once again.

I need to name a male character, first name will be Alexeij/Sascha (background in Germany, so the spelling would be Germanized), but I'm stumped for a last name. Ideally, it would be a common name in Russian that means "warrior" or "soldier" or has connotations of typical "warrior-like" attributes, such as steadfastness, strength, honesty, loyalty, and/or honor. Please also provide the name transcribed into English - my Cyrillic isn't great, and I'd prefer not to make any mistakes.

Thank you very much!

EDIT: Thanks, guys, I have the name! You've been great, as usual.
