Alexey Milchakov is a well-known Russian sadist, war criminal, psychopath and neo-Nazi, leader of Sabotage Assault Reconnaissance Group "Rusich". His public history started with videos on VK where he slaughtered a puppy, then in numerous posts he incited killing and torturing of enemy civilians and prisoners of war, which he practiced in Ukraine and Syria. Here's his most famous statement from a 2020 interview (archived) where he very openly stated "I'm a Nazi" and repeated that a few times. Russian general public doesn't see any contradiction between "denazification", one of the declared goals of the 2022 war, and participation of self-declared Russian Nazis such as Milchakov or "Wagner Group" figures. In another 2023 interview (archived) Milchakov, responding to a wave of criticism, declared his words "I'm a Nazi" were "taken out of context" but all of his actions, statements and symbolics confirm that he's actually supporter of a very literal Nazi ideology and methods.
