Bondarevsky, at the time of WC3, was in command of the destroyer Coventry, which was a part of the Victory's force. At the Behemoth debacle, Coventry's bridge was hit and Bondarevsky lost one of his hands.
From there, we next see him in False Colors, where he is a main character, if not the main character. He is also mentioned in the WC4 novel in Blair's first scene with Tolwyn, where Blair remembers that Bondarevsky rose to command a squadron of "jeep" escort carriers. Without knowing the exact timeframe of this memory, there can be speculation as to whether this does or does not coincide with the information in the WC3 novel.
