The leader of the self-proclaimed, unrecognized Donetsk People’s Republic, Denis Pushilin, has been photographed awarding military decorations to a Russian soldier who has Nazi symbols on his uniform. Pushilin did so despite Russia justifying its aggressive attack on Ukraine, which has been going on since 24 February, by an alleged need to “de-Nazify” that country.
According to the Czech news server iDNES.cz, the independent MediaZona news server of Russia identified the honoree at the beginning of April as Roman Vorobyov, a Senior Lieutenant of the so-called “Somalia Battalion“. The photographs show him wearing a modified skull-and-crossbones on the sleeve of his uniform, which is the symbol of the former 3rd Tank Division SS Totenkopf (“Death’s Head”) from World War II.
Beneath the skull is a Nordic rune depicting three intertwined triangles, the so-called “Valknut“, a favorite neo-Nazi symbol. Pushilin awarded the St. George’s Military Cross to Vorobyov for his significant merit in the ongoing battles for Mariupol Port in Ukraine.
