40 days have passed since the death of Ghost Brigade Commander Alexei Borisovich Mozgovoi. We spoke to Comrade Pyotr Biryukov (“Arkadich”) about the Brain:
“I could tell that he was super nice, super correct. No. He was alive, a strong man, a soldier. Soldier is the wrong word. Warrior! A fighter! He was unique, would not betray. He burned with the idea of Novorossiya 100%.
“Though not fully formed, he lived, fought and died for it. As do all these people. That’s why we served with him and continue to serve.”
