"SNIP.............................
Igor Girkin, who is also known by his pseudonym Igor Strelkov, has been called "one of the most powerful separatist figures in eastern Ukraine." He's a Russian citizen from Moscow and has declared himself the Minister of Defense of the self-proclaimed Donetsk Peoples Republic (DPR), according to Radio Free Europe.
The Ukrainian government says Strelkov is a covert agent of Russia's GRU military intelligence. In documents posted on separatist websites he has asked Russia to provide military assistance to the DPR.
Strelkov is a veteran of both the Soviet and Russian armies, according to Reuters.

wonder how long it will be before we here the news that this guy has had an "accident" and is no longer on the planet. If he was the one, he could be a real inconvenience to Putin.
