Girkin’s direct speech: “We are creating the Angry Patriots Club…
Unfortunately, the situation at the front, which the media is glossing over in every possible way, has an extremely negative effect on the situation throughout the country.
I’m not afraid to say that we heading for military defeat…
We got into a long protracted war, for which our economy was completely unprepared. Both the army and the political system were not ready for it.”
Reference: At the very beginning of the Russian military aggression in Ukraine, on February 21, 2014, Girkin (using the pseudonym Strelkov) arrived in Crimea with a group of armed militants and, by his own admission, they drove local deputies into the hall at gunpoint to vote for a “referendum” on secession from Ukraine.
After the “referendum” he left Crimea, but already on the night of April 12, at the head of a group of more than fifty armed militants, he seized administrative buildings in Slavyansk, Donetsk region, and on behalf of the “Donbass militias” announced the creation of the “Donetsk People’s Republic.”
In the spring of 2014, the so-called “Donbass people’s militia” stormed the regional administration, hoisted a Russian flag on the roof and demanded a referendum on independence.
Donetsk separatist Gubarev became “people’s governor.”
Kalashnikov – Russian propagandist, military commissar.
