Sixth anniversary of the Volunteer Communist Detachment in Donbass

In honor of Commander Alexey Markov

Six years ago, on the night of November 3–4, 2014, the Volunteer Communist Detachment (DKO), created by the Russian communist movement, advanced to Novorossiya from St. Petersburg. On the same day, in Moscow, the soldiers of the detachment were presented with the Battle Banner.

During the offensive on Debaltseve, DKO was the first to break into the village on March 8, 2015, and took the Debaltseve-Sortirovochnaya station in battle, then participated in the clean-up of Novogrigorovka.

A tribute to Ghost Brigade Commander Alexei Mozgovoi

Alexei Borisovich Mozgovoi, commander of the Novorossiyan Ghost Brigade, died on the afternoon of May 23, 2015, when his car was attacked with mines and machineguns on the highway between Alchevsk and Lugansk in the Lugansk People's Repubic. He was 40 years old.

Although he was not a household name in the West, during his all-too-brief leadership of the Ghost Brigade Mozgovoi displayed many of the qualities of revolutionaries like Che Guevara and Thomas Sankara, with a seemingly inexhaustible integrity, uncompromising principles and ability to inspire and rally people to his cause. 

Born and raised in Lugansk, trained as a singer and a soldier, Mozgovoi emerged as a leader of the anti-fascist milita movement shortly after the junta in Kiev launched its bloody war on Donbass in 2014. 

He enjoyed recounting how the Ghost Brigade earned its name. After repeated claims by the Ukrainian military that it had wiped out the armed resistance in Lugansk, his fighters always re-emerged like phantoms to strike back.

Mozgovoi did not call himself a communist or Marxist, but displayed a deep class consciousness and openness to learn and grow politically. He welcomed the Volunteer Communist Detachement into the Ghost Brigade and worked closely with its commanders, Pyotr Biryukov and Alexey Markov, who also became deputy leaders of the Brigade.
