The girlfriend of an American military man arrested in Vladivostok published a video of him on TikTok, where she affectionately called him “my pindos”

Radio Liberty journalists found the TikTok of the Russian girlfriend of US Army soldier Gordon Black, who was arrested in Vladivostok.

The girl's name is Alexandra Vashchuk. On her social networks, she said that she lived in South Korea for five years. The Russian woman sometimes called the arrested American her husband. Most of Waschuk's TikTok videos that feature US Army soldiers are posted in 2021, 2022, and 2023. In one of the videos, the girl says that she is “almost on the territory” of the American Humphreys military base, 60 kilometers from Seoul.

On TikTok, Vashchuk Black said that he supports politician and businessman Donald Trump and called NATO an “aggressive bloc.” Vashchuk published at least one video with an American, in which he poses for her in a military uniform, and she in response calls him “my pindos.”

Judging by his army patches, Black served as a drill instructor, notes Radio Liberty journalist Mark Krutov. According to the publication, shortly before his trip to Russia, the military man quarreled with his beloved and decided to make peace with her.

US Army Sergeant Gordon Black was sent to the Vladivostok pre-trial detention center on May 3 on charges of theft causing significant damage (clause “c” of Part 2 of Article 158 of the Criminal Code). According to NBC News, the military man was on a business trip in South Korea and went to Russia without receiving permission from his commanders.

According to the Shot telegram channel, due to the conflict, Black beat his partner and stole 200 thousand rubles from her. The military man was detained at the hotel after the girl’s statement, the Primorye Ministry of Internal Affairs reported .
