The current investigation is about the fact of the 6th brigade’s tankmen participation in fights in Donbas. The article contains the identification of the Russian servicemen who went through the ‘Ukrainian assignment’ and the\u00a0reconstruction of their ‘war path’ chronology.<\/p>\n

We have already covered this topic in our previous stories, which were based on the photo and video proofs and on the information from the online profiles of the servicemen of military unit No. 54096 (Central Military District, Nizhny Novgorod, Russia).<\/p>\n

All the persons mentioned below are linked to the tactical group of the 6th tank brigade which consists of the tankmen and\u00a0scouts with clear signs of the ‘Ukrainian assignment’ participation – the typical masquerade with impersonation into the ‘Novorossiya’\u00a0militants (informal clothes, white arm bandages), and the equipment with typical identification signs (in this case the white circles on T72-B3 tanks). Most of the defendants in this case uploaded photos with the ‘assignment to Donbas, 2014’ comments in their online profiles a year later, in 2015. But some of them uploaded such photos in real time mode which allowed us to clear and confirm the previously known details.<\/p>\n

The servicemen who had the ‘Ukrainian assignment’\u00a0did not often specify the military unit number in their profiles and that made\u00a0some readers doubt. And the indirect evidence were not convincing for those who did not want to dig into the issue. That is why we start this investigation with a video from the Russian TVC TV channel, shot\u00a0in the 6th tank brigade in Nizhny Novgorod in February, 2014<\/a>. Here you can recognize our first character, E.Rassadin<\/strong>, a tankman from this military unit.<\/p>\n

Here is a part of the TVC\u00a0video clip<\/a>: “Evgeny Rassadin is upset: another racing again resulted in no medals. But the sportsmen of the national\u00a0team are still the reference\u00a0for him. When I see how they cross the finish line, and take\u00a0the 1st, 2nd or 3rd place – I am excited. I want to do that too. – explains Evgeny Rassadin, a driver mechanic”. <\/em>And Darya Ivanova, the reporter,\u00a0notices that he has all the chances.\u00a0<\/em>She is not mistaken since Evgeny is sent to a ‘tank biathlon’ in Donbas\u00a0during the summer campaign. Let’s start with him.<\/p>\n

Besides that, in Vilkov’s\u00a0album\u00a0we identified Sergei Gradov (Yakushev)<\/a>, another already disclosed Russian soldier. But we should say that Gradov-Yakushev was mentioned as a scout of the 9th motorized rifle brigade from Nizhny Novgorod, and now it appeared that he was the scout of the 6th brigade from the same city. This does not change the fact of his following the illegal orders in Donbas.<\/p>\n

It should be noted that not all the servicemen of the 6th tank brigade reached the finish line in the ‘tank biathlon’ in Donbas. Some of them were ‘disqualified’ (captured by the Ukrainian army), some were sent home as the ‘cargo-200<\/a>‘.<\/p>\n

The article contains the identification of the Russian servicemen who went through the 'Ukrainian assignment' and the\u00a0reconstruction of their 'war path' chronology.\r\n\r\nWe have already covered this topic in our previous stories, which were based on the photo and video proofs and on the information from the online profiles of the servicemen of military unit No. 54096 (Central Military District, Nizhny Novgorod, Russia).\r\n\r\nAll the persons mentioned below are linked to the tactical group of the 6th tank brigade which consists of the tankmen and\u00a0scouts with clear signs of the 'Ukrainian assignment' participation - the typical masquerade with impersonation into the 'Novorossiya'\u00a0militants (informal clothes, white arm bandages), and the equipment with typical identification signs (in this case the white circles on T72-B3 tanks). Most of the defendants in this case uploaded photos with the 'assignment to Donbas, 2014' comments in their online profiles a year later, in 2015. But some of them uploaded such photos in real time mode which allowed us to clear and confirm the previously known details.\r\n\r\nThe servicemen who had the 'Ukrainian assignment'\u00a0did not often specify the military unit number in their profiles and that made\u00a0some readers doubt. And the indirect evidence were not convincing for those who did not want to dig into the issue. That is why we start this investigation with a video from the Russian TVC TV channel, shot\u00a0in <a href=\"http:\/\/tvccdn4.cdnvideo.ru\/_cdn_auth\/mp4_cdnvideo\/high\/050\/948.mp4\" target=\"_blank\">the 6th tank brigade in Nizhny Novgorod in February, 2014<\/a>. Here you can recognize our first character, <strong>E.Rassadin<\/strong>, a tankman from this military unit.\r\n\r\nHere is a part of the TVC\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.tvc.ru\/news\/show\/id\/32030#sl\" target=\"_blank\">video clip<\/a>: <em>\"Evgeny Rassadin is upset: another racing again resulted in no medals. But the sportsmen of the national\u00a0team are still the reference\u00a0for him. When I see how they cross the finish line, and take\u00a0the 1st, 2nd or 3rd place - I am excited.
