More than a year is gone since the publication of InformNapalm\u2019s investigation <\/strong>\u201c<\/strong>Evidence of the Participation of the 61st Marine Brigade of the Russian Navy\u2019s Northern Fleet in the Fights in Donbas<\/strong><\/a>\u201d where we gathered the facts of the tactical units that belong to 61st Separate Marine Brigade of Russian Northern Fleet (SMB NF) taking part in combat in Donbas during Summer-Fall 2014. We presented documentary evidence of Marines’ involvement: 40 photos from personal profiles of 17 Russian soldiers -\u201cDonbas veterans\u201d – posted on Social Media websites. Soon after these photos had been published Russian security service wiped out all proofs of Marines’ Donbas mission, but when the dust settled, naughty and unruly Marines went back to bragging about their “Ukrainian business trip”<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

InformNapalm volunteers performed a new OSINT investigation that detected another group of Marines of 61st SMB NF (military base #38643, Sputnik town, Murmansk Oblast) who share photos of their detachment’s \u201cUkrainian campaign” dated 2014. Most of Marines are experienced contractors with many years of service and combat experience in the so-called counter-terrorism missions to the North Caucasus. It is noteworthy that some of the \u201cDonbas veterans\u201d, after their Ukrainian trip, found time for “international mission” in the Middle East – in Syria<\/a>. A few Marines managed to get on our radar several times, often having the same names and profiles, but demonstrating new incriminating photos.<\/p>\n

Igor Bushuyev<\/strong><\/a> (archived profile<\/a>, photo album 1<\/a> and 2<\/a>. contacts<\/a>); his photo album displays a series of photos from Donbas, including a famous group shot that was a part of our previous investigation – with six Marines that were identified as war criminals. Bushuyev also shows a photo<\/a> where he stands next to the grave stone of the battalion commander of the 61st SMB NF Segey Myshko, who “suddenly died<\/a>” noticeably in time of peace in July 2014.<\/p>\n

Maks Baranov,<\/strong><\/a> most likely his real last name is Rezvov (archive of his profile<\/a>, photo album<\/a>, contacts<\/a>); his photo album shows a number of shots with repair process of an armored vehicle which is assumed to come from the war zone. These photos display bordering with Ukraine Kamensk-Shakhtinsky<\/a> Raion of Rostov Oblast, Russia geotag and are dated September 2014. Baranov’s album also displays some photos from Volokonovka<\/a> village located on the border with Ukraine (Kantemirovsky Raion of Voronezh Oblast, Russia) dated the beginning of August, 2014.<\/p>\n
