Volunteers of the InformNapalm international community have established another fact of the Russian hybrid terrorism.\u00a0Particularly, we found fresh materials about the ‘Ukrainian trip’ of one of the fighters\u00a0of\u00a0the Russian General Staff of the Armed Forces’ Main Intelligence Directorate.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Some Nikolai Statsuk<\/strong>\u00a0has\u00a0come to our\u00a0attention – Instagram profile<\/a> (archive<\/a>), VKontakte profile<\/a> (archive<\/a>, album archive<\/a>, contacts archive<\/a>). He was born in Maisky (Kabardino-Balkaria, Russia) on September 9, 1994. The compulsory service<\/a>\u00a0took place on the naval base in Novorossiysk (military unit No. 90921) and ended in 2014. Statsuk was assigned to ‘Zheleznyakov’ sea minehunting ship, but later signed a ‘ground’ contract.<\/p>\n

Statsuk uploaded to his blog several fresh photos from Mozdok (Northern Ossetia, Russia) on December 3, 2015. One<\/a> of them (archive<\/a>) has an intriguing\u00a0dialog with some\u00a0@slynko56<\/a>\u00a0(archive<\/a>), please check out an\u00a0extract from it:<\/p>\n

– did you sign a contract?<\/em>
\n– 7 months ago.<\/em>
\n– gotcha… do they pay well?<\/em>
\n– it’s enough for me. Write me in PM, I’ll answer!<\/em><\/p>\n

The arm badge drew\u00a0our attention on this picture – the crossed arrows in front of\u00a0specific ‘pentapetalous’ carnation – the departmental emblem and official symbol of the Russian Main Intelligence Directorate’s units.\u00a0Bluish-pink core\u00a0of the sign is visible much worse, so\u00a0we were not able to\u00a0determine the military unit and\u00a0had to seek further.<\/p>\n
