He has dedicated his entire adult life to sports and military service. As recently as 2015, Maxim was running marathons and half-marathons as part of the Victoria Club.
He later served in the 38th Separate Airborne Assault Brigade in Brest. In February 2020, state media described him as an exemplary officer: "Guards Senior Lieutenant Dudorga became the best commander of an airborne platoon of special operations forces following a field training competition." It appears he rose to the rank of captain—at least that's how he was later signed in his notebooks: "Captain Dudorga."
