He was a general of a portion of the Russian army. The most effective portion, giving him a lot of pr. That made him a pretty popular general, which is dangerous for the leader in the best of times.
I’d recommend these for more info on him. They’re very well researched and presented. The second and third are long tough.

No he wasn’t. He was the general of a mercenary outfit. He got a lot of PR because he’s a nazi and the media your dipshit youtube personalities regurgitate for you has a vested interest in doing a ‘very bad people on both sides’ because they want you to support an explicitly fascist government. He was effective because they used him for the worst fighting. He’s a mercenary. Their job is to die so you don’t lose soldiers that hurt you politically. That’s also why he was pissed off. The thing that made him dangerous was the part where he fired on Russian military and civilians.
If you want me to engage with your sources you need to go through the video and find them. And just to get ahead of the ball: if you link “Radio free _____” or the Kiev Independent I’m just going to talk about the sources themselves.
