Strelkov, aka Girkin, has been identified as a Soviet GRU (military intelligence) colonel.
See, at FR, “Ukrainian Rebel Commmander Identified as Russian GRU Military Intelligence Colonel”, Bill Gertz, ,”freebeacon.com”, June 20, 2014.
By the way, Soviet spy Alger Hiss was also a GRU agent.
The KGB-FSB/Putin is not our only Soviet/Russian enemy.
Well in case the Russian sympathizers in Donetsk are not aware of it, their life is about to change and not in the way they dreamed.
Good.
