Triple salary, cargo ‘200’ [dead] and disabled –\u00a0in the footsteps of Russia’s\u00a08th motorized rifle brigade in Donbas<\/strong><\/p>\n

We continue the ‘Facts of Invasion<\/strong>‘ publication series about the Russian Federation’s regular army participation in the war in Donbas. The articles are based on the data gathered in OSINT investigations. Our\u00a0new story describes the ‘Ukrainian assignment’ details of the\u00a0servicemen of the 8th separate mountain motorized rifle brigade (military unit No. 16544, South Military District, Borzoi, Republic of Chechnya, Russia). This article is justified by the photo proofs and\u00a0written comments of the Russian servicemen and their relatives.<\/p>\n

The participation of the 8th brigade in the combats in the territory of Ukraine has been already mentioned. A tactical group made from units of this brigade from Chechnya was disclosed in 2014, in the peak of summer fights in Donbas. Having left traces in Ukraine, the Russian command resorted to a new tactic<\/a>\u00a0of its forces usage. The Russian generals started to blend their people into the informal armed formations\u00a0of ‘Novorossiya’ instead of using\u00a0tactical groups of regular units. But it was not possible to\u00a0hold back the truth, no matter how hard\u00a0the Russians tried. Despite the attempts of the Russian war criminals to conceal the facts of their belonging to the Russian army (by changing names, creating new online profiles or editing the old ones, deleting all the information about their service) – it is still not\u00a0too complicated to find them. The triplet of ‘Novorossiya’ militants (the 8th brigade’s contract servicemen in fact) was recognized and identified by several parameters, including a group photo in front of the barracks in Borzoi village (the distinctive feature – one-storey Soviet-style barracks with\u00a0concrete and brick masonry work\u00a0of the former 291st motorized rifle regiment).<\/p>\n

Stryapkov’s photo album has a set of pictures taken in Donbas and uploaded in July, 2015. The photos from Chechnya uploaded in March, 2014 are there as well. The most remarkable photo was uploaded on August 6, 2015, and showed his brothers-in-arms\u00a0in front of the mentioned above barracks –\u00a0our character No.2 Rustam Kurmukov <\/strong>and character No.3 Vladimir Kislyakov<\/strong> whoes albums contained the same photos from Borzoi (uploaded, possibly, after returning from\u00a0their combat mission in Luhansk Oblast, Ukraine).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

The Kurmukov’s profile and photo album seems to be cleaned up: it contains pictures from his ‘Novorossiya’ life, pictures of his colleagues from the 8th brigade and his new friends from ‘Novorossiya’. But you can also see a photo of the Chechnya barracks and a shot of his military specialty from his military ID – VUS 100 915 A (100 – VUS code for riflemen, 915 – position code for rifleman, A – ground forces of Russia<\/a>).<\/p>\n
