In Donetsk, the new DPR authorities disarm the so -called "Prilepinsky battalion", its commander Sergei Fomuchenkov was detained. This was reported in the telegram channel of the propagandist of the DPR Alexander Zhuchkovsky. According to him, a shootout began on the territory of the Donetsk hotel Prague.
"An explosion and random shooting was heard (who shot at whom, it is not clear). None of the fighters are released yet, the battalion commander Sergei Fomchenkov (Fomich) was detained," Zhuchkovsky writes. In July, Fomuchenkov was replaced by writer Zakhar Prilepin as commander of the "Intelligence and School battalion of the Special Forces Regiment".
Information about the disarmament of the battalion confirms the telegram channel "This is the DPR, baby." According to this resource, Prilepin is prohibited from entering the DPR. He held the post of adviser to the head of the DPR Alexander Zakharchenko, who was killed on August 31. Another former adviser Zakharchenko Alexander Kazakov, the former "Minister of Revenue of the DPR" Alexander Timofeev (Tashkent) and the former deputy head of the DPR Dmitry Trapeznikov were also included in the black list - after the death of Zakharchenko, he headed the self -proclaimed republic within a week.
Prilepin recently informed the publication "View" that in the DPR after the change of leadership, the "War reform" began with the retraining of "elite divisions" of the so -called Ministry of Internal Affairs of the DPR.
The leader of the National Bolsheviks Eduard Limonov confirmed the information about the detention of Fomchenkov. “The battalion commander was arrested in Donetsk. They reported that they would keep it until he ordered the battalion to disarm the battalion. He just ordered the battalion to disarm. We think this is a consequence of the redistribution of power after the murder of Zakharchenko,” Limonov wrote on Twitter.
Last Friday, the new acting The head of the DPR was appointed chairman of the People’s Council Denis Pushilin. On the same day, it became known that Timofeev and Cossacks left the DPR "for security reasons."
