So weird how there are fighters from Georgia, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Chechnya, Belarus and other 'post-Soviet' countries all uniting to fight Russia in Ukraine. To paraphrase a modern political joke, "Did something happen in the 20th century?"
Chechnya happened, twice. After most of these guys voted to separate from Russia, maybe keep some cultural ties but maintaining sovereignty. So ya people kind of saw Putin as insane even before he shut down all social media.
It's really not that weird. Russia has fought wars with many of them (Chechnya, Georgia) or constantly threatens them (Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania). Everybody understands that if they don't stop putler here, he will try to conquer more. And don't forget that the USSR wasn't peacefully created, it was the same conquering and holding onto the power.
If there is a successful democratic revolution in Russia soon, I still want them to use the current flag and seal, since there seems to be very vague connection to the Novgorod Republic.
The current flag just has too many bad associations - first it was used by the Russian Empire, an objectively despicable state that kept the vast majority of its population in poverty and ignorance, keeping the awful practice of serfdom until as late as 1861; then by Nazi collaborators during WW2; now by a wannabe fascist dictator. While none of those things are the flag's fault, of course, there comes a point where a symbol becomes too tainted to be used in good conscience. The two-headed eagle in particular belongs in the trash bin of history, an inherently imperialist symbol that symbolizes Russia's warmongering and authoritarian tendencies.

This is interesting how history is being made. I just saw a new video on this in the past few days presented by Lviv Media. They interviewed a member of what is now called The Free Russia Legion, using the same flag and patches as in your video. This soldier was very candid. Here's a summation of what he said: The Free Russia Legion has 2 Battalions, and another one on the way. They are under command of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and fight with other Foreign Legion Members from all over the World. They have 5,000 new Russian applicants, with many of the newly mobilized conscripts surrendering to Ukrainian Forces with the explicit intent of joining The Free Russia Legion. New recruits for The Free Russia Legion undergo intense military training by the Ukrainian Military. They are supplied and treated just the same as any other member of the Ukrainian Military. They have been fighting on the front lines since the beginning of their engagement and none of them have been captured by RuZzian Forces. The soldier interviewed said they will fight to the death to help Ukraine defeat Putler's Terrorists, and when Ukraine wins the War and their Freedom from RuZzian Oppression, The Free Russia Legion plan to take their Resistance to Russia. He said: "We are Putin's worst nightmare".
I am interested in Russia and Ukraine, and I found this video very informative! I will be watching closely at the _Freedom_ _of_ _Russia_ Legion and, more generally, the Russian opposition, over the next few months. Thanks for the information!
Search Peter Zeihan on RUclips. He is literally a walking data bank who predicted this war 5 years ago and China's disintegration. He provides consultation to executives/business leaders without bias and amorally interprets and presents complicated data to audience.

Kill their country and legacy of generations before them. Nothing more, but a hypocritical tool in enemies hands. Deeply you know that you want your ancient foe dead. Or just a horrifyingly naive as modern European. Liberal brainwashing and high standards or living do wonders.
A ton of time has passed since this video was done and it has been proven that these guys are the real deal. There's videos of their accomplishments, and you can observe that they feel rage against RF soldiers
I'm so happy this group exists, & I always hope more people will join up. I know not a huge number actually do, but every soldier makes a difference, & it's so great to see them show the world _and_ Russia what Russian soldiers can be like if they choose to: bravely fighting for what's right, even against their own country (for the ultimate benefit of their country, but they're still fighting against the Russian army). And doing it more for practical reasons like money still helps.
Huh, I just discovered they existed today. I mostly like that Ukraine accepted them, which is not obvious considering the anger and hate I sometimes hear (understandably). I am Canadian and care about Russians who oppose Putin, support Ukraine, do what they believe is right, etc. Their manifesto/statement is really inline with my values anyhow. The current level of intolerance of free speech and dissent in Russia is stunning.

@@Русскийорк-у1м What I find amusing is that you could be a paranoid American ultra-conservative, talking against liberals, and it would be exactly the same! Unless Google Translate got it wrong. And you seem to have misread the last sentence. Liberalism is a fundamental of a modern State: there is a social contract where the State agrees not to repress individual freedoms except if actual crimes are committed. Being opposed to a policy, including war, is not truly a crime in a modern State, unless you let your government become authoritarian. I rarely say good things about the USA, but folks in the USA have protested against wars without repression (there are certainly grim exceptions and limits).
@@MikeRyzhikov I’m from Australia so technically it’s illegal for me to leave and fight in Ukraine. I haven’t been able to formally apply but once I get to Kyiv I should be able to apply easily. As long as you’re a Russian national you can apply for the legion. Knowledge surrounding Russian military tactics is a big plus outside of combat experience.
Personally I am sceptical about the authenticity of this unit considering that they have featured heavily in Ukrainian media/paraganda and that the consequences for joining such a unit is extremely high.
I think it’s real and active. Seen some videos of them that seem authentic. But yeah it’s gonna be heavily used by ukraine as propaganda because it’s made up of Russians.
I mean weren't the Germans in WW2 extremely successful at this? I remember hearing about French volunteers who were loyal to the German cause even towards the end of the war.
@@RedLancerMoto The difference here is that Germany recruited volunteers from occupied lands, where they had the ability and time to "convince" the public and get rid of the opposition. The logic of the people joining the Free Russia corps is pretty understandable. If you're a conscript in Russia, you get sent to the front as cannon fodder and live in miserable conditions before getting killed in an ambush. If you're a volunteer in Ukraine, you live in decent conditions, and if you're lucky enough to not get killed or captured (which is arguably worse) then you get to live the rest of your life as a free man and a hero.
@@RedLancerMoto In the end, I suspect these turncoats will find themselves in front of a firing squad as typically happened to French people who aided the Nazis (other than Coco Chanel).

Ukraine does not have to conquer Russia, if they hold on long enough and make the conflict painful enough Putin will lose face and popular support as well as the Oligarchs being unhappy with sanctions fearing for their future who might be inclined to remove him for someone else. There are a lot of domino effects especially in this conflict.

as a Ukrainian, I don’t understand why people who are potentially our enemies are given weapons and sent to the front. And if they decide to go over to the side of the Russian Federation? Why create this legion at all?? Distribute these people to Ukrainian or Belarusian units.
These guys want the same as the belarusian guys their country to be free. In russia pows are considered traitors even if they dont defect they have nothing to lose. Its better to make ur enemies ur allies rather than killing em. They are russian so obviously they will feel more comfortable fighting with their fellow russians even if it is against their fellow russians ironically. Russian army are already killing defectors and deserters so they wont turnocoat.
From what I’ve gathered they have Ukrainians supervising and are part of their groups for training as of right now. I’m not worried about the Russians soldiers directly I am more concerned about FSB infiltrators and spies. I’m not too surprised that some Russians switched sides because many of us have family in both countries.

Howe, one of my great-grandfathers was for the White Army and the other for the Communists. One was sent into exile in Siberia, the other to Kazakhstan. The Civil War in Russia generally had three sides of the conflict such as the "Greens" who advocated for their goals (but some were just bandits under the guise of folk heroes)
@@RedLancerMoto Just watch the election maps for 2012 ( before the maidan and sep war ) and compare the separatist republics with the rest . What the russians are taking today are the regions very similar in their pro russian bias (and that were part of old Russia , before Soviets messed with the maps )
So this is basicly the RLA (Russian Liberation Army) of WWII times, which the Nazis formed from prisoners and diserters of the Red Army. Even the name is exactly the same almost. And the color of the flag is white and blue, like the RLA, except that the RLA flag had a cross, not a stripe.
There certainly are ukranian units that are better equipped than the average russian units. Unless foreign volunteers bring their own stuff, that is not remotely the case for them. Volunteer or militia units are very poorly equipped overall, and id wager anything this unit is not exception. Theres are reason urkaine is begging for aid in the form of helmets and basic medical equipment. When they have such stuff, it doesnt go to the lowest quality formations. At best, these units are on par with the equipment of russian conscripts, often identical equipment. Plus the russian regular is better equipped than their conscripts. Whats interesting is that russian nationals who dont also have ukranian citizenship arent protected by the rules of war like other soldiers and can be executed as spies or traitors by the russians without violating the rules of war. Not like russia cares about the rules of war anyway, but there you go. Personally, id rather be a POW than a traitor, but thats just me.

I know it's a way down the line, but with this system I believe many of these conflicts could be solved... but we don't have this system, so we must fight. The soldiers in Ukraine fight for so much in the rest of this world. !Voting with ballots is for suckers, voting with money is a much better idea. Don't fund the industry, fund the individual and the individuals will fund the industry, a demand driven economy. "The People are The Government" is about equality and voice, it is a flat democracy because participants are equally funded and is achieved with Conditional Basic Income in a Congressional Crowd Fund. "The Economy is The Congress" is about diversity and opportunity, it is a parabolic democracy because wealth is distributed unevenly and is achieved with Unconditional Basic Income. All this is paid for by a 1% transaction tax on goods and services, that over time could render all other taxes obsolete. Money based democracy is a Political Filter that has many advantages over ballot based deomcracy; it is non-binary, dynamic, periodic, forgiving, altruistic, responsive, immediate, diverse and eliminates many causes of corruption. In it's simplest terms, all tax revenue in a period is divided equally into each Citizen's Crowd Fund Account, and Politicians run Campaigns in the Congressional Crowd Fund the citizens buy into. Ballot based voting is a political filter that leads to strong leadership. Together they make a powerful combination. Apart, they are not as powerful as together. The Congressional Crowd Fund politically adehers to three principles of Democracy; Everyone has an equal vote/amount of money, Participation is not obligitory, and the way that you vote is Private. If someone does not participate in a period, the value of the participants' vote is proportionally increased. Peoples privicy is theirs alone to make public, although in certain circumstances, greater transparency may be desired or required. [For example if you were a Tory whip and wanted to force your membership to vote against their will and those of their constituients on a subject like, say, Fracking.] The Congressional Crowd Fund could be introduced as a filter gradually by applying it to Foreign Aid. Foreign aid campaigns advertise in the Crowd Fund and the Citizens fund these campaigns on a monthly basis. Campaigns would be required to provide accountability through the Blog and Accounts section their campaign, they would need to maintain credibility because a Citizen can always change their mind next time round. When you vote with money, it becomes clear the Crowd Fund is a managed micro economy. This is why I say The Economy is The Congress. Dental care is arguably not covered by the NHS in England. It is far better in this case to fund the individual rather than the industry. When I was 7 I got a filling on the NHS, not because I needed one, but because that was how the dentist got paid,.. nuts! Much better give the individual some money so they can just pay the Dentist when they need to see the Dentist. Is the Dental industry in any trouble? No, because it's private. This is why UBI is parabolically democratic in a real economy. Emergency services such as A&E, Defence, Fire, Police and fundamental services like central banking, foreign affairs, civil service and justice do need to be managed at a national level with strong leadership and solid mandate. Issues such as infrastructure, rail, road, energy, big national projects that require alot of money, and some aspects of law, should be proposed and presented in a Congressional Crowd Fund, if not for full but partial funding. It's amazing how many propositions could be mitigated by simply saying "Start a campaign in the Crowd Fund, and see who buys into it?" for example: 'Give mothers £8k to stay home with children' (Telegraph 2022.10.23) I say decide that democratically in the Crowd Fund by seeing who buys into it. Being able to start a Congressional Crowd Fund Campaign is something any citizen can do. Issues such as bin collection, education, general health (seeing a doctor, physiotherapy, mental health, teeth etc), housing and nourishment, the need for a mobile phone, keeping yourself clothed, socialising, fitness, should be individual choices, funded by UBI in partenership with private enterprise. These are decisions individuals should make for themselves. If you want a Ferrari, you could theoretically start a campaign in the crowd fund, but I think you would soon see it was democratically unlikely, and you're going to have to do something about it yourself. However in reality... the Crowd Fund is essencially altruistic, has to have some benefit to the community, but above all Democratic through equal funding. So, thankyou, that's my idea for a Capitalist Democracy, I would love to know your thoughts. * AI, Technological Unemployment & UBI ruclips.net/video/CPre-wvF6XM/видео.html * Gary Stevenson: ruclips.net/video/3ahL8AbvzbI/видео.html * Sir Humphrey Politics, Sir Humphrey Economics, Sir Humphrey Democracy A Very British Democracy | Yes, Prime Minister | BBC Comedy Greats ruclips.net/video/xzfNEF0e-y4/видео.html ruclips.net/video/JnnjY823e-w/видео.html * Tom Seeley: Honeybee Democracy: ruclips.net/video/JnnjY823e-w/видео.html * Harvard Professor Lawrence Lessig makes the case that our democracy has become corrupt with money, leading to inequality that means only 0.02% of the United States population actually determines who's in power.

While none of those things are the flag's fault, of course, there comes a point where a symbol becomes too tainted to be used in good conscience. The two-headed eagle in particular belongs in the trash bin of history, an inherently imperialist symbol that symbolizes Russia's warmongering and authoritarian tendencies.
@@lunarcultist6214 the nazi collaborator argument is flawed, as the democratic belarusian flag, the modern baltic flags, and the ukrainian flags were used by nazi collaborators too
@@matthewsteele99 I know it's flawed, but didn't feel right to just leave this out. On its own that wouldn't be a problem, but with the rest of the baggage it has...

@@lunarcultist6214 I can understand how it would be a tainted symbol to many people, but you can say the same to Armenians who were oppressed by the Ottoman Empire and yet Turkey still uses the same flag, or the Chinese who were oppressed by Japan and they still use the same flag as WWII.
This is interesting how history is being made. I just saw a new video on this in the past few days presented by Lviv Media. They interviewed a member of what is now called The Free Russia Legion, using the same flag and patches as in your video. This soldier was very candid. Here's a summation of what he said:
The Free Russia Legion has 2 Battalions, and another one on the way. They are under command of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and fight with other Foreign Legion Members from all over the World.
They have 5,000 new Russian applicants, with many of the newly mobilized conscripts surrendering to Ukrainian Forces with the explicit intent of joining The Free Russia Legion.
New recruits for The Free Russia Legion undergo intense military training by the Ukrainian Military. They are supplied and treated just the same as any other member of the Ukrainian Military. They have been fighting on the front lines since the beginning of their engagement and none of them have been captured by RuZzian Forces.
The soldier interviewed said they will fight to the death to help Ukraine defeat Putler's Terrorists, and when Ukraine wins the War and their Freedom from RuZzian Oppression, The Free Russia Legion plan to take their Resistance to Russia.
He said: "We are Putin's worst nightmare".
Oh dear, I am afraid this video is about to get alot more attention after today.
I am interested in Russia and Ukraine, and I found this video very informative! I will be watching closely at the _Freedom_ _of_ _Russia_ Legion and, more generally, the Russian opposition, over the next few months. Thanks for the information!

I'm so happy this group exists, & I always hope more people will join up. I know not a huge number actually do, but every soldier makes a difference, & it's so great to see them show the world _and_ Russia what Russian soldiers can be like if they choose to: bravely fighting for what's right, even against their own country (for the ultimate benefit of their country, but they're still fighting against the Russian army). And doing it more for practical reasons like money still helps.

Liberalism is a fundamental of a modern State: there is a social contract where the State agrees not to repress individual freedoms except if actual crimes are committed. Being opposed to a policy, including war, is not truly a crime in a modern State, unless you let your government become authoritarian. I rarely say good things about the USA, but folks in the USA have protested against wars without repression (there are certainly grim exceptions and limits).

I think it’s real and active. Seen some videos of them that seem authentic. But yeah it’s gonna be heavily used by ukraine as propaganda because it’s made up of Russians.
I mean weren't the Germans in WW2 extremely successful at this? I remember hearing about French volunteers who were loyal to the German cause even towards the end of the war.
@@RedLancerMoto The difference here is that Germany recruited volunteers from occupied lands, where they had the ability and time to "convince" the public and get rid of the opposition.
The logic of the people joining the Free Russia corps is pretty understandable. If you're a conscript in Russia, you get sent to the front as cannon fodder and live in miserable conditions before getting killed in an ambush. If you're a volunteer in Ukraine, you live in decent conditions, and if you're lucky enough to not get killed or captured (which is arguably worse) then you get to live the rest of your life as a free man and a hero.
@@RedLancerMoto In the end, I suspect these turncoats will find themselves in front of a firing squad as typically happened to French people who aided the Nazis (other than Coco Chanel).

There certainly are ukranian units that are better equipped than the average russian units. Unless foreign volunteers bring their own stuff, that is not remotely the case for them. Volunteer or militia units are very poorly equipped overall, and id wager anything this unit is not exception. Theres are reason urkaine is begging for aid in the form of helmets and basic medical equipment. When they have such stuff, it doesnt go to the lowest quality formations. At best, these units are on par with the equipment of russian conscripts, often identical equipment. Plus the russian regular is better equipped than their conscripts. Whats interesting is that russian nationals who dont also have ukranian citizenship arent protected by the rules of war like other soldiers and can be executed as spies or traitors by the russians without violating the rules of war.

I know it's a way down the line, but with this system I believe many of these conflicts could be solved... but we don't have this system, so we must fight. The soldiers in Ukraine fight for so much in the rest of this world.
!Voting with ballots is for suckers, voting with money is a much better idea. Don't fund the industry, fund the individual and the individuals will fund the industry, a demand driven economy.
"The People are The Government" is about equality and voice, it is a flat democracy because participants are equally funded and is achieved with Conditional Basic Income in a Congressional Crowd Fund.
"The Economy is The Congress" is about diversity and opportunity, it is a parabolic democracy because wealth is distributed unevenly and is achieved with Unconditional Basic Income.
All this is paid for by a 1% transaction tax on goods and services, that over time could render all other taxes obsolete.
Money based democracy is a Political Filter that has many advantages over ballot based deomcracy; it is non-binary, dynamic, periodic, forgiving, altruistic, responsive, immediate, diverse and eliminates many causes of corruption. In it's simplest terms, all tax revenue in a period is divided equally into each Citizen's Crowd Fund Account, and Politicians run Campaigns in the Congressional Crowd Fund the citizens buy into. Ballot based voting is a political filter that leads to strong leadership. Together they make a powerful combination. Apart, they are not as powerful as together.
The Congressional Crowd Fund politically adehers to three principles of Democracy; Everyone has an equal vote/amount of money, Participation is not obligitory, and the way that you vote is Private. If someone does not participate in a period, the value of the participants' vote is proportionally increased. Peoples privicy is theirs alone to make public, although in certain circumstances, greater transparency may be desired or required. [For example if you were a Tory whip and wanted to force your membership to vote against their will and those of their constituients on a subject like, say, Fracking.]
The Congressional Crowd Fund could be introduced as a filter gradually by applying it to Foreign Aid. Foreign aid campaigns advertise in the Crowd Fund and the Citizens fund these campaigns on a monthly basis. Campaigns would be required to provide accountability through the Blog and Accounts section their campaign, they would need to maintain credibility because a Citizen can always change their mind next time round.
When you vote with money, it becomes clear the Crowd Fund is a managed micro economy. This is why I say The Economy is The Congress. Dental care is arguably not covered by the NHS in England. It is far better in this case to fund the individual rather than the industry. When I was 7 I got a filling on the NHS, not because I needed one, but because that was how the dentist got paid,.. nuts! Much better give the individual some money so they can just pay the Dentist when they need to see the Dentist. Is the Dental industry in any trouble? No, because it's private. This is why UBI is parabolically democratic in a real economy.
Emergency services such as A&E, Defence, Fire, Police and fundamental services like central banking, foreign affairs, civil service and justice do need to be managed at a national level with strong leadership and solid mandate.
Issues such as infrastructure, rail, road, energy, big national projects that require alot of money, and some aspects of law, should be proposed and presented in a Congressional Crowd Fund, if not for full but partial funding. It's amazing how many propositions could be mitigated by simply saying "Start a campaign in the Crowd Fund, and see who buys into it?" for example: 'Give mothers £8k to stay home with children' (Telegraph 2022.10.23) I say decide that democratically in the Crowd Fund by seeing who buys into it. Being able to start a Congressional Crowd Fund Campaign is something any citizen can do.
Issues such as bin collection, education, general health (seeing a doctor, physiotherapy, mental health, teeth etc), housing and nourishment, the need for a mobile phone, keeping yourself clothed, socialising, fitness, should be individual choices, funded by UBI in partenership with private enterprise. These are decisions individuals should make for themselves.
If you want a Ferrari, you could theoretically start a campaign in the crowd fund, but I think you would soon see it was democratically unlikely, and you're going to have to do something about it yourself. However in reality... the Crowd Fund is essencially altruistic, has to have some benefit to the community, but above all Democratic through equal funding.
So, thankyou, that's my idea for a Capitalist Democracy, I would love to know your thoughts.
