Pro-Russian Militants
Made A Rap Video In An Attempt To Attract Recruits

In
a seemingly desperate effort to increase support, the Russian Orthodox Army, a
pro-Russian separatist militia in Ukraine has released a rap song to bolster
recruitment.
The
video, which was released on May 25, features a group of armed rebels sitting
around a table in the seized Ukrainian Security Services building in Donetsk.
According to NBC
News, the rap includes lines such as “come on get
up brother, get dressed … There is a hail storm against the machine gun.”
The
song’s chorus is particularly inspiring: “”We won’t
give up on our own — say the Russian Orthodox [Army]. For each fighter, there
will be a battle till the last glory. On the field of battle – the Russian
Orthodox [Army].”
The
rap was released during a particularly effective push by the Ukrainian military
against the rebels. Over 50 rebels had
been killed as Ukrainian forces retook the Donetsk airport.
The
rebels were further plunged into chaos Thursday as infighting
broke out amongst various pro-Russian factions. The heavily armed Vostok
Battalion took over the Ukrainian Security Services building, forced the
occupying rebels out, and destroyed the roadblocks in front of the building.

KIEV,
Ukraine – What better way to recruit men to your militant cause then through a
rap song?
That’s
what Andrei Donstkoi, a member of the
Russian Orthodox Army figured.
As
violence escalates in the conflict between the Ukrainian military and the armed
forces of the so-called “Donetsk People’s Republic,” the militants released a
rap song on YouTube two days ago that has already garnered over 100,000 views.
The
clip shows a group of armed men, some with their faces disguised, sitting at a
table in one of the Ukrainian Security Services buildings they have seized in Donestsk
rapping their song “No One But Us.” “Come on get
up brother, get dressed … There is a hail storm against the machine gun,” the
lyrics go.
“We
won’t give up on our own – say the Russian Orthodox [Army]. For each fighter,
there will be a battle till the last glory. On the field of battle - the
Russian Orthodox [Army]...” the chorus goes.
Ukrainian
aircraft and paratroopers killed more than 50 pro-Russian rebels in an assault
that went into a second day on Tuesday after the newly elected president vowed
to crush the revolt in the east for good.
Donstkoi,
who spoke to NBC News by phone from one of the seized Ukrainian Security
Services in Donetsk on Tuesday, said that they are currently awaiting an attack
by Ukrainian forces. He said about 100 members of the Russian Orthodox Army are
inside the complex armed with machine guns, sniper rifles and are ready for
battle.
He
also claimed that as many as 100 of the Russian Orthodox Army and other militia
groups of the self-proclaimed Donetsk People's Republic were killed Monday
night and that nearly as many were wounded.
As
far as the rap song goes, Donstkoi said he hopes "someone will hear it,
get off the couch and do something." An hour after the release of the clip
on YouTube, he said people started calling to see how they could join.
