The Primorsky Partisans or the Primorsky Guerrillas (Russian: Приморские партизаны) - were a group of six young men who waged guerrilla war in 2010 on police in Primorsky Krai in Russia. They were active from February–June 2010. The group declared a guerrilla war against what they described as corrupt police. Their attacks included shooting traffic policemen, raiding a village police station and stabbing an officer to death there. The group posted videos on the internet to explain their motives[1]

Members

  • Aleksandr Kovtun (Russian: Александр Ковтун) leader of the group
  • Andrei Sukhorada (Russian: Андрей Сухорада, July 25, 1987 - June 11, 2010) former member of National Bolshevik Party.[2] On March 3, 2004, Sukhorada was arrested when police raided a group of National Bolsheviks who were staging an occupation of the United Russia Party HQ in Moscow[3][4]
  • Aleksandr Sladkikh (Russian: Александр Сладких, September 18, 1989 - June 11, 2010)
  • Vladimir Ilyutikov (Russian: Владимир Илютиков)
  • Roman Savchenko (Russian: Роман Савченко)
  • Maksim Kirilov (Russian: Максим Кириллов)

Motivation

On October 9, 2010, a 13-minute video entitled “The Last Interview of the Primorsky Krai Guerrillas” was released on YouTube. In the video the partizans of the group declared a guerrilla war against corruption and Russian Militsiya.[5][6] The video was removed from the YouTube server several times due to complaints.

Reaction

A poll of listeners to the Echo of Moscow radio station indicated that 60-75 percent of listeners sympathised with the Primorsky partisans and would offer them help.[7][8]
