DSHRG (airborne assault reconnaissance group) “Rusich” first announced itself in 2014, during the battles for the Luhansk region. The unit commander is Alexei Milchakov, originally from St. Petersburg. The first “success” came to him in adolescence following the massacre of a puppy, to which he cut off his head. Then there was posing once morest the background of the flags of Nazi Germany, the nickname Fritz, a video with cut off human ears, an interview with recognition “I’m a Nazi.” The biography did not interfere with his military service; he was also seen in the ranks of the Wagner PMC during the Syrian campaign.

In July 2022, State Duma deputy Anatoly Wasserman told the portal News.ruthat “Rusich” is once more participating in the battles in Ukraine. He suspects “Rusich” of war crimes, in connection with which he filed an appeal to the Investigative Committee and the Prosecutor General’s Office with a request to check the unit. “In particular, the message of Rusich regarding the murder of a prisoner has signs of a war crime,” Wasserman said in an appeal. Photos and videos from the front regularly appear on the telegram channel of the brigade.

As Fontanka wrote, in September 2022, the United States imposed sanctions once morest the commanders of Rusich, Petersburgers Alexei Milchakov and Yan Petrovsky.

State Duma deputy Andrei Kartapolov told Fontanka regarding the attitude of the Russian authorities towards the nationalists from Rusich. “I think that they have already removed the tattoos and no longer zigue,” he answered a question regarding photographs of nationalists and their tattoos with swastikas. According to the parliamentarian, if they perform tasks as part of a grouping of Russian troops, then they have already corrected themselves.
