The commanders of the Donetsk Republican Army - Motorola and Givi - were well-known in the West. Both are now gone - undefeated in battle, yet killed by the terrorist acts of the Kiev regime. But even though they are gone, the resistance against the dark side lives on.
Below are two documentaries, commemorating Givi - Mikhail Sergeevich tolstysh, born in Ivailovsk, UkSSR, Soviet Union 19.07.1980, killed in Makeevka, Donetsk People's Republic 08.02.2017. One is a collection of interview fragment by Graham Philips - the only British freelance journalist to repost from Donbass. The film gets a good insight into the easy-going and hones personality of Givi.
Givi, as I Knew Him (with English subtitles) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RnPtxltOFlgThe other documentary is by NewsFront, newly translated into English:
Donbass in the Line of Fire: Givi - Full Episodehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p_SNvKzRCeoAnd this is a short video from Russell "Texas" Bentley, reporting from Donbass:
Texas on the assault of Givi https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_L2l-hXxQKsA Hero of the DPR, the commander of the "Somali" Independent Ilovaysk Guards Motor-rifle (assault) battalion, Colonel Mikhail Tolstykh died today. Without question, he was one of the strongest officers in the DPR army, and he was a symbol of the entire resistance. This is a difficult loss.
After its failure near Avdeevka, the enemy is counting on this dastardly murder to break us. The most important thing right now is not to panic, but to strengthen our resolve and our cohesiveness. Givi will forever live in our hearts!
Memory Eternal!
