Film: 'Our Texas' An epitaph for pro Russian American militiaman Russel Bentley
2024-12-15
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.

Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin.

This film is a mix of testimonials in Russian and English for Russel Bentley, an American fugitive drug runner from Minnesota, who insinuated himself in the pro Russian militia in Donbass region.

On a technical note, rutube.ru has really improved to the point it is possible to embed its videos.

[ColonelCassad] A documentary about American volunteer Russell Bentley (call sign "Texas"), who in 2014 came from the USA to Donbass, where he stayed, linking his fate with the DPR. The film was shot by people who personally knew Russell.

In 2024, "Texas" was killed by a group of people from the 5th Brigade, who are now on trial in Donetsk.



The case was not hushed up, so we are waiting for the court's findings. There are 4 people involved in the case.

P.S. At the "Front Line" festival in Rostov, I met Russell's widow, Lyudmila Bentley. A courageous woman.
