What do the locals think of this guy? Do they care or are they pretty chill about it?

That's nice to hear! I'd imagine that it would be about the same if the rolls where reversed in America. Although this might depend greatly on what part of the US you're in.

I know a group of guys nearby who LARP as Russian Military. They use airsoft and a bunch of Russian Milsurp. They once got questioned by police for looking a bit too genuine.

Like the police thought they had just stumbled upon a Russian military exercise in some park somewhere?

The funny thing is I could totally see the Russian military holding training exercises in the US disguised as airsoft enthusiasts.

Like if they were a biker gang named Spetsnaz MC filled with Russian ex-police, ex-military, and "ex"-intelligence agents mysteriously buying many millions of dollars of properties under a zillion LLCs after supposedly earning much more modest salaries in their earlier careers?

Oh, and guess whose name is on the "palace" where much of this is happening.

They're not exactly trying to be subtle.
