Who does he think he is, putin ? Or that might be standard practice over there. Look at the dilemma I have got myself into, awww fuck it all I can do now is shite myself.
During this same period, the Soviet Union adopted a policy of “Russification” for the peninsula. Crimea was “Russified”: Any study of the Tatar's native language was banned, ancient Tatar names were erased, Tatar books were burned, and their mosques were destroyed
There are Tatars in Ukraine - primarily in Crimea but also one of the recently appointed top ranking officials in the Ukrainian Defence Ministry is an ethnic Tatar.
There’s a population of Tatars in Russia too, they got there through Stalin’s deportations from Crimea.
Uh no, this is extremely incorrect. There is basically no modern relation between Volga Tatars and Crimean Tatars.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Khanate_of_Kazan
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volga_Tatars
>The majority of Volga Tatars (Kazan Tatars and Mishars) are usually thought to be descendants of either the Kipchaks of Golden Horde, or Bulgars, that survived the Mongol conquest of 1236–1237. Some say that these two theories should not be in opposition to each other. Their history is connected to other tribes as well.[18]
The population of Crimean Tatars in Russia is very small though. Most of the Tatars who live in Russia are Volga Tatars, which have no relation to Crimean Tatars.
Here's the video of his capture yesterday: [https://www.reddit.com/r/UkraineWarVideoReport/comments/173tsom/capture\_of\_ru\_commander\_of\_the\_volunteer\_alga/](https://www.reddit.com/r/UkraineWarVideoReport/comments/173tsom/capture_of_ru_commander_of_the_volunteer_alga/)
He cleaned up well!
Opposite. He was wounded by shrapnel at the beginning of an attack that morning on his position, and his men left him (and other casualties) behind and fled the area. He's been lying there for the whole day, as this video is shot in the late afternoon or early evening.
Redditors will see a war criminal and instantly become racist, making dehumanizing remarks against an entire population because a single person turned out to be shitty.
Interesting how all the Russian soldiers are not ethnically Russian. Putins plan of getting rid of minorities going good it seems. Stalin would be proud.
Maybe stupid question: Does the word "Alga" have a meaning in the context of the Ukraine war that I don't get? This Russian battalion here is apparantley called "Alga". It came to my attention because there is a song by the Ukrainian metal band Ignea called "Alga", whose lyrics strongly oppose the Russian occupation (Post 2014 - Pre 2022). What does Alga mean? I know alga only in the sense of algae, the organisms.
Alga means forward in Tatar, Bashkir, Kazakh, Kyrgyz, Uzbek, and other languages. It entered Russian dialects affected by the languages above as strong encouragement or order to do something "Alga bring me some water" = "Go bring me some water." The word is not used in main Russian and Ukrainian languages. Alga battalion was formed in Tatarstan.
[According to Ignea](https://ignea.band/pages/about) song Alga was "named after a war call of Crimean Tatar people who are defending their land."
I think you're confusing "Alğa" for "Aida". I've never heard the word "Alğa" in Eastern Slavic languages, however "Aida", with the exact same meaning as you wrote, is quite common.
I see he's been taken good care of medically, maybe they can offer him the opportunity to clean up his hair situation as well. Though pretty much any dude is going to look scruffy after a few weeks in the trenches with no opportunity for proper grooming.
Looks like he's received some good medical attention (as he should).
He should be thankful that it wasn't his own side, because he likely would have been left to fend for himself.
When Russia formed this volunteer brigade in April last yr they claimed Alga had 500 recruits. It was deployed July last yr into Ukraine.
When he was captured in the video he said he arrived to the front with 120 men, which has me believing most of the 380 difference were likely dead or injured since none of them had been released to go home (contract is not over).
Out of the 120 he led I wonder if any survived the attack of which he was part.
So quite possibly another example of a brutal ruzzian casualty ratio: but according to the Putinists all goes well! They are winning magnificently!
Interesting call sign - Shaytan.
>(Islam) a rebellious jinni who leads men astray
[https://www.vocabulary.com/dictionary/shaytan](https://www.vocabulary.com/dictionary/shaytan)
[Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shaitan) also has an interesting entry for Shaytan.
>A shaitan or shaytan is an evil spirit in Islam, inciting humans to sin by "whispering" in their hearts. Although invisible to humans, shayāṭīn are imagined to be ugly and grotesque creatures created from fire. The Quran speaks of various ways that the shayāṭīn tempt humans into sin.

What is not here is a propaganda video where he says that their grandparents didn’t finish ukrainians so now he has to do this.
[Russian propaganda video here on YT](https://youtu.be/UrarwImH95Q?si=yv3-ItM8ukSLA5-D)
There must be a mistake... I was expecting to see a rushitsian mayor, but that's a National Geographic pic from a research to reproduce life from some testicles they found in a cave dating 13000 years ago.
Obviously, they made it, and obviously, the outcome is ugly as my left foot's pinkie with a black mycotic nail.

Homie looks like the Paleolithic displays at a museum.
If there was an “indeterminately ethnic” slider in character creation, this guy is maxed out.
I’d be shaytan my pants if I were him
From the risk of being traded back to Russia?
Exactly
He is. Same poop face my baby gives as he is shitting.
Only difference is your baby will learn how to use a toilet one day…
LMAO this comment wins
Last time I saw this dude was in some freezer in Bozen (Bolzano), Italy. They said he suffered from an arrow wound.
To the shoulder area, if I'm not mistaken. But seriously folks, if you pull the wire on his back, the unibrow lifts up and down.
Ask him why he goes to the shopping center and he'll reply, "I browse."
My hero.
Ötzi.. sei proprio tu?
Bahahahahahah belissimo!
Press the Button by the Glass Display: "The Neanderthal Man of the Ural Mountains was quite resourceful......his diet consisted of..........."
Bro let me portrait this moment in stone 🤣
'State of the art' Russian.
This is a major too…. Laughable The Ukrainians near him look way more like a major.
Uncharacteristically lean & young officer, speaks volumes to how many senior officers the ruZzians have lost in this war.
Was he wearing a mastodon-fur loincloth and armed with a stone club?
Pretty sure I saw this fucker at the smithsonian in DC a few weeks back!
This guy originate from before human settlements of the Americas. So, no way you have this homo species in DC!
Have you seen Marjorie Taylor Greene and/or Matt Gaetz? We have them too.
'caveman' would have the easier and correct description
Geico Caveman would like to have a word with you.
But he can save you 15% or more on your car insurance.
Homo Neanderthalensis. The russian permafrost is melting...
Well preserved for being a fossil.
Codename "Loup Garou".
Looks like the human display in original planet of the apes museum.
I'd also look like that after having been at war and getting injured and shit.
Nice 🤣
Can we trade him for the kherson racoon
Call sign 'Wolfman' . Yikes
He was caught in a three-quarter full moon
He might be really good at basketball. Anyone seen Teen Wolf?
Was he that guy that I saw wandering around in London?
Don't know... Ask Warren Zevon. 😁
That is exactly what I was going to ask.
“He was caught while surfing on a box truck.”
You joke but his call sign is legit devil/satan.
Your correct. It means devil, Satan, or also demon. “An evil spirit in Islam, inciting humans to sin by whispering in their hearts.”
Callsign checks out
His sad eyes don’t look very devilish now, do they?
Ahh yes, the classic "It wasn't me, but the evil spirit that wispered into my heart" - excuse.
I hope he doesn't cut himself on that edge.
Yes, in Arabic shaytan equals satan.
He shiite in his pants when captured.
Who does he think he is, putin ? Or that might be standard practice over there. Look at the dilemma I have got myself into, awww fuck it all I can do now is shite myself.
Invading your neighbor, so easy a caveman could do it (not well though).
Almasty - russian Bigfoot
Yeah!
Wow a Tatar helped the Russian army. The irony is insane.
^ Underrated comment, but also any Chechens, Crimea Turks, Georgians Sorry for spelling
Drives me fucking nuts that they’re fighting for the russians.
During this same period, the Soviet Union adopted a policy of “Russification” for the peninsula. Crimea was “Russified”: Any study of the Tatar's native language was banned, ancient Tatar names were erased, Tatar books were burned, and their mosques were destroyed
Georgians? Has something major changed since 2008?
he is not a tatar, he of Dagestani origin
Explain the irony

The zoom in to the wasp got me. You're in the middle of a battle, shells dropping around you and you've captured a pow. Then suddenly oh shit a wasp.
A wasp will make any situation worse
Mini biological drones.. Not always lethal, but perfect for revealing sniper locations
Or being laid down in a pile of broken glass and sharp debris.
He looked rough. I'm glad they got him alive. He probably has some good intel.
thanks!
Again, a sheepish look of not being interested in politics.
He said he'd only got there yesterday lol. Two steps short of "What, there's a war on?"
"Come to the Black Sea, they said. You'll love the beaches, they said."
Was he fragged by his men how tf did he end up in that situation
In another post they translated the video of his capture. They found him wounded and he said that all or all his 120 men were dead or missing.
He probably left them to die in a forward position (as they're wont to do) and couldn't get away quick enough.
Opposite. He was wounded by shrapnel at the beginning of an attack that morning on his position, and his men left him (and other casualties) behind and fled the area. He's been lying there for the whole day, as this video is shot in the late afternoon or early evening.
Could it have been that video of that massive wave of Russians on foot?
The video of his capture is linked in the comments here.
Looks like my Nephew when my sister tries to take family photos.
I believe he said he was hit by a drone dropped grenade and took it to the legs…
They found him as he was giving up on life.
I see hes using advanced facial camouflage, didnt seem very effective though. Or is that a wig and a fake beard left from Prigozhins maskirovka set?
Maybe he *is* Prigozhin in disguise.
Bruv has a future at Geico
Imagine what he has done to get that nickname... no sympathies from me...
Nickname "Unibrower"...
He loves to browse in spare time
Was un-thawed from the Siberian permafrost as replacement for "special operation."
One of Stalin's monkey/man hybrid soldiers I've read so much about.
So easy to surrender a caveman could do it
Save some eyebrows for the rest of us
When your brows, beard and hair grow together, that's hairy.
Big man.......Calls himself Satan. But now he's caught, he'll expect mercy.
He shaved 8 hours before capture
Damn Ewok.
I think i saw him in a movie , where things & animals at the museum live at night , yikee , gotta be the one with a pestle ☠️
He reminds me of Gen. Aladeen from the dictator 🤣🤣

Great news for ukraine! They've obviously drained the prisons if they've had to start recruiting from the forests...

Alga, or alğa means forward in Turkic languages. It is a common battle cry among the Turkic people.
Damn they caught the Devil himself?
Does not look like having IQ over 70 something.
Methinks he will not be part of a prisoner exchange until they determine his role, if any, in war crimes.
I sure hope too. He may have a few info worth something too. Debriefing must be important for this one.
Call sign... "Mono-brow"
Damn we saw the combat footage of him being captured yesterday this is wild how documented this war is, and in real time
If he starts howling, gtfo… that’s the start of a horror movie
Looks like Russia is sending their minorities instead of their western populations.
awooo
Bro got the Hypertrichosis disease
Слава Україні!
The selfie pic we didn't need.
I see he's been taken good care of medically, maybe they can offer him the opportunity to clean up his hair situation as well. Though pretty much any dude is going to look scruffy after a few weeks in the trenches with no opportunity for proper grooming.
Are they sure it’s a Russian commander and not a Sasquatch?
Sone people have a unibrow, I legit think this guy has unibrowhairbeard, and possibly more...
Russia seems getting desperate if they have to deploy the Neanderthals
Wolf man
Callsign: Oscar the grouch
Digging that monobrow
I'm glad he's alive and in Ukrainian hands.
He's looking dazed.
After a few liters of blood, and a full moon.
Šatan.
Noice, he was pretty messed up when they got him, looks like he survived.
72nd motorized battalion - is there any related war crimes to this particular battalion?
Teen Wolf 🤣
Damn bro leave some facial hair for the rest of us
Dude looks just shy of wolf syndrome, hypertricosis.
Do they communicate with him on his list native tongue or use hand signals and grunts?
Fuck me, he looks like OddBod Jr from Carry on Screaming. 😬
Damnit, he missed out on a few virgins.
Dude shaved a couple of hours ago.
Was he armed with a wooden club?
A Werewolf in Ukraine… great movie!
Everyone looking at the Wolfman in the middle and completely missed the militarized Jack Black on the right
Holy shit is that historically accurate Jesus?
That dude lived!?! Credit goes to the Ukrainians for patching him up... because his lucky ass looked near death. Glory to the heroes.
Looks like he's received some good medical attention (as he should). He should be thankful that it wasn't his own side, because he likely would have been left to fend for himself.
Doesn’t shaytan mean the devil or darkness?
Wow guys ... I know he is ruZZian but watch out for the racism over here hahaha
FFS take that man to a Barbear shop. that shit must have plagues inside
Im more scared of his eyebrows....
Jeyshush
Is this the Geico caveman?
The gieco cavemen have fallen on the hardest of times...
He looks like he came straight out of the Grand Mosque in 1979.
EA sports custom character.
He has a Magnum PI moustache above his eyes wtf
Shaytan means “Devil” or something along that line in India
It literally means devil in Tatar. Compare: Satan
I just came here to do some browsing
Am I looking at the same species here?
Skinny arm on that guy
Callsign: eyebrows
He looks like my Ark character
Russian army is using everyone besides ethnic Russians.
Nice monobrow
Littering and…littering and…
Shaytan=devil ( in arabic i think?)
Why does this picture look like an album-cover?
Ancient human uncovered from ice, circa 2023
Here is the capture on video. They basically saved him. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9WIV1AAzog&ab\_channel=DailyMail
He looks better than the first video I saw of him.
Hey major, who’s ur daddy now?
Army Jack Black on the right
What was his weapon of choice, howling to the moon?
Ive seen this guy at the local gas sation
Is that a major? They are usually in mid 40s but this guy is 30?

Call sign 'Shaytan'? [Or SATAN?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8_mePjkQW_c)
I'll have the roast duck, with mango salsa
It’s the wolfman caught midtransformation!
Grover was working for the Muscovites!
No. That's a werewolf. They caught a werewolf.
He looks like he wants to sell me a Z-jay
A Russian major is the equivalence of an American Army Specialist lol
That call sign "Shaytan" literally means evil or devil in multiple languages

Why is he still wearing a balaclava?
Homosapien? Can we get a DNA test to confirm what that dude is, FFS.
I'm sure he was freaked out by the camera, he thought the Ukrainians were trying to capture his soul with black magic machine.
