Igor Ivanovich Strelkov, born Igor Vsevolodovich Girkin (Russian:
И́горь Ива́нович Стрелко́в;
IPA: [ˈiɡərʲ ɪˈvanəvʲɪtɕ strʲɪlˈkof], Russian:
И́горь Все́володович Ги́ркин;
IPA: [ˈiɡərʲ ˈfsʲɛvələdəvʲɪtɕ ˈɡʲirkʲɪn]),
born on 17 December 1970 is a Russian army artillery veteran[1]
who played a key role in the Russian occupation of
Crimea, and next the War in Donbass as an organizer of the Donetsk People's Republic's militant
groups. Strelkov, a self-described Russian nationalist and imperialist,
participant of several other conflicts, was charged by Ukraine authorities with
terrorism and is currently sanctioned by the European
Union for his leading role in the armed conflict in eastern Ukraine.
Ukrainian authorities have called him a retired colonel of the GRU (Russia's external
military intelligence organisation).
According
to different sources, he unreservedly demands that the "liberal
clans" (liberal elements of the Russian elite) be destroyed. On 28 May,
2016 he formed the Russian National Movement, a political group in favor of
"uniting the Russian Federation, Ukraine, Belarus, and other Russian lands
into a single all-Russian state and transforming the entire territory of the
former USSR into an unconditional zone of Russian influence."
He
is currently being sued by the families of eighteen passengers who were killed
when forces under his command allegedly shot down Malaysia Airlines Flight 17.
