Russian Volunteer Corps

Not a lot of people know that, when “Azov” was still a battalion, the first fighter who died was a Russian guy from Khabarovsk named Andrey “Balagan”.

Andrey was a fan of CSKA Moscow, and took part in the protest on Manezhnaya Square in 2010, after which he was persecuted by the security forces and was forced to leave Russia and move to Ukraine, in Nikolaev city.

When the revolution started in 2014, he was proactively participating in protests in Kiev as well as in Nikolaev. And when a war started in the east of Ukraine, Andrey volunteered to go to the front, and as a part of “Azov” he was freeing Mariupol. Balagan died on the 4th of August in 2014 during the fight near Donetsk: he exploded on a radio-controlled fougasse while storming Marinka.

Andrey was posthumously rewarded with a title of a “People’s Hero of Ukraine”, and Kholodnyi Yar’s badge of honor. In Nikolaev, there is also a street named after him.

Russian Volunteer Corps honors the memory of Andrey, the same way as his comrades do.

New RVC’s volunteers have just arrived in Ukraine! These guys are full of energy, ready for battle and, of course, to win!

The long wait in foreign lands has ended, and our new recruits are already on their way to Ukraine’s capital city to soon stand side by side with RVC’s veterans.

From now on, the Russian Volunteer Corps will do the procedure of getting new volunteers into the country by themselves, which means that the process of coming to Ukraine officially is now established! We remind you that the only possible way to legally come to Ukraine and to become a RVC’s fighter is through our contacts! Do not try to get into the country by yourself and do not trust any political scammers with their services!

Dear Igor Ivanovich/Vsevolodovich Girkin/Strelkov/Runov,

The Russian Volunteer Corps’ Commander has already reached to you before to suggest that you redeem yourself before Russian and Ukrainian people by joining us - but you ignored him.

Now that your motherland remembered about your existence, the only option that is left is for you is to live in this damned world that you’ve created yourself.

It has been exactly 40 days since we lost our friend and our fighter Daniil Maznik (nicknamed “Shayba”). During the first hours after his death we spontaneously decided to make a short film in his memory. This film is almost done and will be soon shown privately in one of the Kiev’s cinemas, to which we’ll invite all of our friends.

In his previous life, Daniil carried the flag of victory during a parade on the 9th of May in his native city Rostov-on-Don. It was a very important episode in his life, and he told us a lot about this day. Thanks to his will to win, professionalism and his big brave heart, the RVC’s flag is hovering so high in the skies!
The RVC will always remember and honor its fallen fighters!

“Shayba” - Forever in our ranks!

Today we’ve been visiting our wounded fighters, who are for now located in different hospitals in Ukraine. Some of them have been already transported to the capital city, and some of them still need to get in a more stable condition. In any case, the RVC’s fighters’ belligerent spirit and will to win cannot be crushed!

We’re thankful to everyone who answered our plea for help and supported our guys! Thanks to you, the RVC’s soldiers will get back in line a lot sooner!

Leonid and Roman Butusin are the embodiment of true Russian heroes, who didn’t budge before the enemy with numbers and force advantage, and put their lives on the Altar of Victory.

Russian Volunteer Corps wholeheartedly supports the Ukrainian government and President’s decision to give Butusin brothers one of the highest titles “Hero of Ukraine”.

Honor to them!

While performing combat tasks during the offensive on the enemy’s lines towards Zaporozhye, a Russian Volunteer Corps’ fighter nicknamed “Baltika” has fallen. Also, six of our fighters were wounded, with different severity of injuries.

“Baltika” or “Balt” (this is how he was called by his blood brothers) arrived to us from Europe in March 2023, where he lived for a long time. He has always been a vigorous opponent of Kremlin’s regime. He was one of those who would always defend their right to be Russian, wherever he was and whatever it took. “Balt” left his family, a comfortable life and his favorite hobby to fight for his people’s future. A true warrior and an assault troop-knight, he never knew fear or doubt and was always ready to be the first one to go in the battle.

He was carefully hiding his identity when he was alive, which is why we’re not going to betray him after his death, so that nothing would threaten his family that he missed dearly.

We’ll see you in Valhalla, brother.

Russian Volunteer Corps’ Commander took part in a discussion with a soldier who has been captured by our fighters in Novaya Tavolzhanka. This discussion was aired on Vladimir Zolkin’s channel.

Ukraine has once again rewarded RVC’s soldiers for their professionalism and bravery, and this time with state medals.

Dmitry “Stryom” was awarded posthumously for his willingness to sacrifice himself for our victory and for the lives of his comrades.

Through the inevitable grieving process, through the unmatchable acts of bravery on the battlefield, the Russian Volunteer Corps is growing, evolving and going towards our common victory.

Glory to the RVC!

A statement from the Russian Volunteer Corps’ Commander about the current events happening in the Russian Federation’s military leadership.

Evgeniy Prigozhin started as a mysterious individual, a “Putin’s cook”, and over the past year he became an independent political figure. This war became a trampoline for the “Concord group’s” owner: he has become a big source of inspiration for news and TV-shows. Heated speeches, skirmishes and sometimes accusations towards the Ministry of Defence will be remembered by everyone.

Recently, Prigozhin even did somewhat of a pre-electoral campaign. I think that even though we are on the opposite sides in this war and do not share views about Russian Federation’s future, believe it or not, but I would call him a Russian patriot. And I’m not being sarcastic or ironic. The pressure among the Russian Federation’s High Officials was growing, and sanctions and defeats on the battlefield intensified the process of “rotting and decaying”.
And so now we have an ambitious, with all guns blazing and popular among people and military personnel patriot, who also happens to possess his own private army. And we have a population that has been demoralized by this bloody war and indecisive political government. We’re getting ready!
