  3. The civilized world will never let these animals sleep well again. We will chase you to the ends of the earth.

  4. So, digging up information on these eliminated generals have become a small hobby of mine.

    Most publicly available information on Tsukov Oleg Yuriyovych was that he was a major general of the 144th Guards Motor Rifle Division, part of the 20th Guards Tank Army. The 20th Guards, being one of the elite formations of the Russian Federation, was part of the major push towards Kyiv in February and March. The 144th suffered heavy casualties and was alleged to have been entirely disbanded and reconstituted between April and September. In September, 20th Guards and 1st Guards the two elite formations (out of a total of four) that were caught with their pants down in Kharkiv Oblast during that famous offensive. And accordingly Tsukov Oleg was caught by artillery or HIMARs in his headquarters in Svatove, which is still the command centre of Russian efforts along the northern flank. The general was wounded but not killed, but the 144th was again mauled. It was later reported that what was left of the 144th was thrown into the fighting at Bakhmut and again suffered heavy casualties. I would be very curious what the casualty rates are in these frontline units. I suspect the entire unit has been replaced several times in the past year.

    Lieutenant General Tsukov Oleg Yuriyovych indicate he was promoted since his injuries in Svatove, possibly *as a result of* his injuries, because it definitely wasn’t because of his performance. His current role in Mariupol would indicate he’s a general without field command, basically a form of rear-duty R&R while he recuperates. Looks like he’ll be resting for a long time where all Russian generals should be: under six feet of black soil.

  8. He fell down a flight of stairs while running and the pistol he was carrying went off and shot him 7 times. It was an accident…

  9. He received an offer he couldn’t refuse- to bunt in hell.

  11. Does this picture look strange to anyone else? He looks like he hasn’t eaten or slept properly for the past 5 years. He looks more like a prison camp inmate than a submarine commander. Dead eyes.

    Maybe that’s just what the Russian navy is like?

  12. FSB have now released a description and are currently searching for a “middle aged man in a blue cap”.

    Just on my way out to buy one.
