Igor Strelkov became known after he headed the heroic defense of the city of Slavyansk in the Donbass in 2014. For several months, he and his comrades fought in complete encirclement against the enemy’s vastly superior forces. The defenders actually had no heavy weapons. When all the avenues for defense were exhausted, and only a couple of ammunition magazines remained for one fighter, the unit under the Strelkov’s command carried out a brilliant breakthrough of the encirclement and retreated to Donetsk with minimal losses.
Later, in 2014, Igor Strelkov headed the People’s Militia forces in Donetsk. In August 2014, as a result of behind-the-scenes intrigues in Moscow, he was forced to leave the post of Defense Minister of the DPR. This happened immediately after Putin’s assistant Vladislav Surkov was appointed as the curator of Russia’s relations with the DPR and LPR. Apparently, Strelkov was considered too uncompromising and principled figure.
After returning from the front, Strelkov continued his activities as the head of the public movement Novorossiya. Igor Strelkov regularly criticized the policies of Vladimir Putin and his entourage towards Donbass and Ukraine as a whole. Many of his predictions came true with amazing accuracy.
Since October 14 2022, Former Defense Minister of the DPR Igor Strelkov is serving in the ranks of the Russian Army in Ukraine. He came back to the front lines as a deputy commander of one of the battalions.
Strelkov in early June 2022 said: “If I am called up for service, PMC, it means that the patriotic grouping of the authorities has won (in Russia), if I am imprisoned, it means that the liberal-oligarchic grouping has won. If they put me in jail, forget about the victory, if they send me to fight, there is hope for victory.”
Ukrainian social networks reacted hysterically to reports that Strelkov was returning on the front lines.
When you have a NAZI problem, administer 3 doses of Commander Strelkov to the front line, twice daily, and twice nightly.
Hooray! bad news for bad guys. good news for great guys.
Good news!
He was the guy who ordered to down the MH 17. A first class war criminal. Congratulations Russia!
lmao, repeating the lie never makes it fact. the real fact is there is no evidence whatsoever that anyone but Ukraine shot down the plane. there is of course volumes of evidence that the ukrainian Buk system engaged the aircraft. Strelkov DID shoot ukrainian saboteurs in mufti on the spot in the parking garage according to the geneva convention regulations for field exections and espionage during wartime conditions. He also insists on field executions to foreign fighters from any location caught alive. BRAVO Igor!!
such a good video I hasd to go watch it again
what video? We all want to watch it now.
It was the Ukronazis who shot down that plane, bitch
Martial law has just been declared for LPR, DPR and former Ukrainian regions By the Russian President V.Putin Now War starts.
False statement.
Putin just declared Martial law under Russian law. It has been under local laws of LPR and DPR for a long time.
Go watch it yourself: http://kremlin.ru/events/president/news/69636/videos
ToiToiToi!
Awesome! Russian Maximus is back!
Strelkov was spared by Putin, others like Mozgovoy, Motorola, Givi, Bednov where not so lucky.
Motorola was a hero. Killed by CIA terrorists in the DNR.
Motorola heavily criticized the DPR- and Russian leadership on several occasions.
And the SBU claimed responsibility for his assassination inside the DPR. so unless Putin contracted the SBU during the time Ukraine claims Russia was attacking (notice the difference yet?) it , the statement of his criticism is moot. Ukrainians admitted murdering Motorola for embarrassing the UA and defeating them like childs play. ” November 12, 2016 -The Ministry of State Security (MGB) of the Donetsk People’s Republic has announced the arrest of six neo-Nazis from Misanthropic Division, whose leaders earlier claimed responsibility for the murder of Sparta battalion commander Arsen Pavlov (Motorola).”
Stupid CIA shills and nafo ukrotrolls like this Anal-yst are so full of shite they contradict Ukros themselves.
On which front/in which region he is posted at? I am curious.
(We will find it out eventually anyways, just as we know that Wagner fights in Bakhmut, the Chechens fight in Kherson, etc. But it would be good to know.)
So he’s a put behind glass and break out in case of emergency commander? Too problematic in peacetime (relative in this case), but extremely useful in times of war?
He gave his interviews infront of a tzarist flag. They cant afford to let him return as a hero….
Where is the real war, Papa? Have you any idea?
Strelkov is a war criminal and a profiteer. He should be executed by shooting squadron.
No matter how many ‘stars’ you pin on a NATO pig it is still a pig.
That’s great. Another Putin cockroach will join the dozens of other commanders in the same cemetery.
He was a monarchist/ nationalist thats why he was forced to leave the battle then. Sacharchenko and Motorola were socialists.
Putins Oligarchfriends where afraid both might show the russians that the system they have right now is not the only possible.
Thats why there was only enough help to survive but not to win. Cause nobody in the russian elite wanted a independent novorussia they wanted defeated regions who depend on russia and now after they incoperated them finaly we will see what russia has planned for those people. The order to evacuate cherson does not bode well for the future.
Way awesome! Go Strelkov!
It sounds like he should be in charge of the whole of the Russian forces.
This is good news. Without Strelkov, there would have been no DPR/LPR in the first place, as I see it. He was the spark that lit the flame of independence. But he was controversial, and there were rumors from pro-Russian sources that he executed some of his own men for stealing humanitarian aid. Yes, and I also remember Surkov’s underhanded manipulations, especially when he strong-armed Zakharchenko into pulling NAF troops back from the contact line as a fake show of “Russia abiding by the MInsk Agreements,” even though Russia isn’t mentioned in them. (Will reCAPTCHA allow this comment?)
“The beginning of wisdom is to call things by their right name” – old Chinese saying. “Ju.S.A. proxy war against Russia” is the right name, “Special military operation” is the wrong name. With the right name, barricading Ukraine borders, destroying shipments from NATO, EU nations & especially from Ju.S.A. comes first. Ukraine’s military & Jew-helper nationalists are next. The right place for HIMARS, etc. is bottom of the Atlantic en route.
In spite of Southfront, the only “Nazi” in Russia, Europe & the rest of planet Earth are unified, organized AshkeNAZI, the great deceivers & great destroyers. The solution for every problem is to eliminate the cause.
although all I said was literally ‘It’s awesome’ and ‘Go Strelkov’. It was deleted. Is this now forbidden? Does the moderator have an issue with commenters rooting for Strelkov?
So Colonel Kotov returns?
I have great respect for Mikhalkov, his artistry and his patriotism.
What about Utkin? How would Mikhalkov protray him.
How murky are the waters of war!
