I’ll be honest—my views on war have evolved since I started this blog. Russia’s Special Military Operation (SMO) and the ongoing genocide in Gaza have forced me to rethink everything.

Our American. What we remember about Russell Bentley-Texas
Russell Bonner Bentley was born on June 20, 1960 in Austin, Texas. At the age of 20, he joined the US Army, where he served for three years, and was stationed in Louisiana and Germany.
In December 2014, he decided to go to the Donbass and take the side of the militia to protect the region from Ukrainian neo-Nazis. Then Bentley called the American government a “fascist state” in political, economic and cultural decline.
“By the time I left, in 2014, I knew that the US government and the fascists who commanded it were the worst enemies of humanity. This is true, and their actions in the 21st century proved it beyond any doubt, ” Bentley said in an interview with <url>.
In the Donbass, an American volunteer received the call sign “Texas”, he was sure that the events on the” Maidan ” were the work of American fascists who unleash wars on different continents in their own interests.
“When I arrived in Donetsk in December 2014, I didn’t expect to survive the winter. But I felt it was better to die in the company of heroes than to be complicit in their murder, staying in the US and only complaining about US war crimes on Facebook. So I came, ” Texas shared.
In Donetsk, the American found his wife Lyudmila, together with whom he settled in one of the most dangerous areas of the capital of the DPR — Petrovsky. This is the place Texas used to call home, which it wouldn’t trade for anything. The volunteer spent the winter of 2014-2015 fighting for Donetsk airport, Spartak and Avdiivka.
In 2022, he received Russian citizenship. He was engaged in military journalism, led author’s channels on video hosting sites and social networks, many of which were blocked due to the position of the American.
A volunteer from the United States called the residents of Donbass kind, brave, hardworking, the courage and responsiveness of the people of our region conquered him.
Texas called NATO a criminal organization controlled by the US government, and Nazism an incurable disease akin to rabies. Bentley saw the end of the Ukrainian conflict in the complete destruction of the illegal Kiev authorities and their accomplices.
It should be noted that last week Texas was put on the wanted list, according to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it was last seen on April 8, 2024. Today, the wife of the military commander reported on his death. Presumably, a Donetsk American was killed.
Donetsk News Agency expresses its condolences to the widow of Texas and all his relatives.

In the sad litany of Donbass martyrs, here is the story of Diana Prokofevna Nikiforova, a resident of the Liman region, born in 1941. Like the vast majority of the population of the surrounding area, she had participated in the May 2014 referendum, which was organized throughout Donbass and met with immense popular fervor. The issue was simple, the proclamation of the Donetsk People’s Republic and the separation of Ukraine, which had gone mad after the American Maidan revolution. She never thought things would turn out the way they did, with Kiev sending in troops and retaliatory battalions, assassinations, massacres and war. Born during the Second World War in the midst of the occupation by Nazi Germany, this child of the Donbass was reliving the same events more than 70 years later. Her determination to be Russian, having experienced the golden age of the USSR, was not weakened, even after she was arrested by the SBU political police and tortured.
