The preliminary investigation by Russia’s Investigative Committee accused four Russian servicemen of the kidnap and murder of the American Russell Bentley, a Russian “war correspondent.”
Bentley, a 64-year-old self-identified communist from Dallas, Texas, joined pro-Russian separatists in 2014 to combat Ukrainian forces. He went missing in the Russian-occupied city of Donetsk in April and was subsequently discovered dead.
Tankies aren’t communist. Neither are leninists. Their only ideological stance is to be anti west/America. Even if that means aiding fascists whom they have more in common with anyhow. Of which there’s historical precedence.

Did he not know that Russia isn’t communist?!
I don’t think a tankie from Texas can be assumed to know anything

They do pretend to be communist though.
Absolutely. Like the economic liberals that larp as libertarians. What they call themselves and what they do are completely opposed.
Must be like the .ml "communist"s who love authoritarianism so much they’ll pretend state capitalism is leftist.
Why is a 64 year old going to war?

I remember seeing him in a couple videos. The article says 2014 though.
