A press conference in Donetsk today organized by Russian ultranationalist leftist Sergei Kurginyan, together with pro-Russian separatist fighters in southeast Ukraine turned into a shouting match as the fighters accused this Muscovite championing their cause, who has been finding them supposedly private channels of military aid, of being out of touch with their war and its realities. Today’s news conference devolved into a total circus when it was revealed that the seemingly low-level fighters talking to Kurginyan were in fact Pavel Gubarev, “the people’s governor” of Donetsk and Igor Bezler, one of the notorious military leaders of the pro-Russian separatists, a former lieutenant colonel in the GRU (Russian military intelligence); Kurginyan had simply failed to recognize them in their camouflage. Gubarev had darkly hinted on his VKontakte page yesterday that “Any person who criticizes the Commander-in-Chief during war-time is a criminal.”
