Russian resistance group says it crossed into Russia, calls on Russians to take up arms against Putin regime
The group published a video against the background of a building with a signboard “Lyubechansky Paramedic-Midwifery Center” on Telegram on March 2.
“The Russian Volunteer Corps has crossed the state border of the Russian Federation, the evidence is behind my back,” one of the men in the video says. “Wedo not fight civilians and we do not kill the unarmed. Now is the time for ordinary citizens of Russia to understand that they are not slaves. Riot, fight.”
One of the men in the video was identified as Denis Nikitin, the commander of the Russian Volunteer Corps. Thirty-eight-year-old Nikitin – a prominent far-right, Russia-born football hooligan and mixed martial arts fighter — founded the white nationalist clothing label White Rex, Financial Times journalist Christopher Miller reported in an article on March 2.
