World champion in kick-boxing Nikolay Leonov was among supporters of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic who died in the fight for the Donetsk airport on 26 May, co-chairman of the People's Front of Donbass Vladimir Rogov told RIA Novosti.
Leonov's body was identified on Friday and taken to his native city of Dnepropetrovsk.
Nikolay Leonov, aged 31, won the World Cup in full contact karate in Odessa in 2005. In 2007 he became the IAKSA and WTKA world champion in kick-boxing in Marina di Carrara, Italy. He achieved the norm of world-class athlete and worked as a training manager. Leonov was also a member of the Cossack community and a Bible reader in church, he composed music in the Orthodox rap style.
All in all, over 50 protesters were killed at the Donetsk airport on 26 May, among them 33 Russians whose bodies have already been sent home. About 15 bodies still remain at the airport because snipers do not allow to collect them.
(I haven’t been following the Ukraine situation, so I’m not referencing it or the players in it with this comment.)
Some day, perhaps soon, ordinary Americans may be called upon to fight as “unlawful combatants”
I repeat:
“I have yet to see you post anything that shows the Russian tactics or that reflects badly on the Russians. Please direct me to those posts. I will publicly apologize if you can do so.”
Until then I will count you amongst the propagandists.
The search function can be your friend.
The guy posting the EuroMaidan PR stuff directly from Facebook is already doing plenty of that. Another has been posting everything from the Kiev Post. Do I need to duplicate those efforts to satisfy you?
The driver of truck carrying 30+ wounded rebels away from the fight at Donetsk Airport was hit and killed by a sniper, resulting in the truck crashing.
The wounded soldiers that survived the crash were executed by the Ukrainian troops. This was on the 26th.
Thnx.
In the words of an old Yankee friend of mine:
“You got nuttin’”
“In the words of an old Yankee friend of mine:

Pray tell, exactly what am I supposed to get?
“I have yet to see you post anything that shows the Russian tactics or that reflects badly on the Russians. Please direct me to those posts. I will publicly apologize if you can do so.”
You have no response to that. Nuttin’
Sure, we might, but if so, I don’t expect our government to treat us any different than the Russians treat these guys.
As I stated, exactly what am I supposed to have??
Any ideas? Suggestions? Or just bashing again?
“It’s a knockout!”
LOL !
Dude, just go and get a real job. I know we are living in difficult times but even you can do better than that.
“I have yet to see you post anything that shows the Russian tactics or that reflects badly on the Russians. Please direct me to those posts. I will publicly apologize if you can do so.”
Awaiting such evidence.
So this guy was a Ukrainian citizen giving and comfort to an enemy invader? Isn't that called treason?
Except that he would be a Tory, not a colonial.
A lot of guys who think they are tough in a ring that has strict rules, and gloves, and time limits, and narrow weight classes, soon realize that warfare isn't so orderly.
Hah! He’s welcome to try.
Should I tremble in respect for Reinhardt Heydrich also? He died in the cause he believed in too. How about Osama bin Laden? Shall we speak his name in reverential tones?
You can call me whatever names you like, but I'm not so stupid as to believe that being evil enough to die in an evil cause entitles one to respect.
Look who the Ukrainians elected. A big fat oligarch. BWA HAHA, democracy in action. First they stage an illegal coup by fat a$$ thugs and then they make it alright by electing a fat cat oligarch. I sure hope the US troops stay out of this. Not worth one American life.
