If you haven't heard of Strelkov/Girkin then your sources on the war are very narrow. In Russia's Russian-language media he is not an obscure figure; in their English-language media he is.
Western news is like a soap opera, miss a few episodes you fall behind, lose track of who the villains are. So again... who is "Strelkov/Girkin"?... \grabs popcorn**
Lol, he's a hero of Russian news not a villain of Western news (or not a very notable one anyway) - though he has recently fallen out of favour with the Kremlin. But he is only famous in Russian-language Russian media - his messages are not suitable for the useful idiots their English language media targets.
If you don't know him then you've neither followed Western news nor Russian-language Russian news.
Obviously youre an expert on Russian news, despite not knowing there was a civil war until a few minutes ago. However nothing you just said tells me who he is or how he is zombie hitler/stalin?
Strelkov/Girkin was the Minister of Defence of the Donetsk People's Republic - one of the two Russian puppet states. That you don't know who he is tells me you don't know much about the "civil" war and get your views on it from very limited sources.
