It's hilarious to read the same things 30 years later from those who couldn't resist "teaching" us

Denis Zakharov: So UN is concerned about a person who:
- Was a combatant during the invasion in 2014
- Publicaly refused to wear press vests
- Traveled inside Russian military vehicles all the time
- Was an open nationalist with his "nazbol" Instagram handle

Olga Tokariuk: Igor Strelkov/Girkin, arrested today in Moscow, is not some sort of an opposition leader. He is a former Russian security services colonel who admitted to leading Ru proxy forces' invasion of Ukraine in 2014. He's a convicted in absentia war criminal for shooting down MH17 flight

max seddon: Girkin called for Putin’s downfall this week. “The country cannot survive another six years of this cowardly low-life in power,” he wrote on his Telegram channel.
