Denis Kapustin, also known by his nom de guerre "White Rex," led the right-wing Russian Volunteer Corps until he was killed by an FPV drone on the southern front, according to preliminary reports. More details are expected later.
That dude was an actual neonazi. Ukraine was using him because he created an image of “Russians fighting against Russians”. Though to be fair Putin has a bunch of neonazis fighting for him too.
Putin has a long track record of killings, persecutions and rights violations over more than two decades of fascist leadership. Neo-Nazism has been state-sanctioned under Putin, with powerful and wealthy allies like Prigozhin not merely espousing the ideas but quite literally torturing and murdering people in Syria and Africa, both to further Putin’s political goals and to act on the Wagner members’ internal hatred of non-white people. If anything, people like Nikitin, his friend Tesak, and many others of that scene, were also a product of Putin’s Russia, where street-level neo-Nazis were financially supported by the government and used for political reasons in the early 2000s, when racially motivated hate killings were on the rise. Nikitin’s neo-Nazi ideas or even hate-fueled brawls in Europe were like child’s play compared to the actual fascism of Russia under Putin.
By that logic: A dead american…
