It has been three months since our team published the results of OSINT research that confirmed Russian artillery units’ participation in the Syrian military campaign: East Is a Delicate Matter: 29 Servicemen from 291st Artillery Brigade in Syria. After the publication, we saw another proof of our results: social profiles of the Russian soldiers mentioned there started to disappear quickly. But it seems the Russians did not learn the lesson, and three months later we see again something interesting posted by three of those soldiers.

  • Dmitriy Semashkov, #9 on our list – the contract soldier who deleted his photos in Syria. However, soon after he updated his profile, bragging about a military award: a Medal of Suvorov, which he was awarded by the Presidential Order from December 8, 2015. He also uploaded the photo of a new Lada, which he could now afford with his Syrian bonus.

  • Vanya Zimin, #20 on our list – he also deleted his Syrian photos but soon after he just had to show off his Medal of Suvorov. He was awarded this medal by the same Order from December 8, 2015.

  • Aleksandr Karatnik, #24 on our list – he tried to clean up his profile but later he uploaded the photo of a Medal of Zhukov, with the same date: December 8, 2015. He also added a somewhat ambiguous comment: “Went to a place you never were, did something you never did”.

    Afterword: Just a few hours after the publication of the original article, two of the three pages discussed here were cleaned up, and the photos deleted. More on this here.

    It is worth noting that the 291st Artillery Brigade is among the most infamous military units of the Southern Military District; we have published multiple reports about it in the context of the so-called “Rostov – Ukraine business trips”.

    Here is the list of our publications about the 291st Brigade:
