Idiot. Russell Bentley is a self-described communist.
Russell "Texas" Bentley (born 1960) was an American communist who fought for the Donetsk People's Republic during the Donbass War.
Russell Bentley was born in the US state of Texas in 1960, and he became interested in communism at the age of twelve after reading the works of men such as Ho Chi Minh and Che Guevara. Bentley would decide to join the Vostok Battalion of the Donetsk People's Republic in December 2014, believing that the new government of Ukraine was fascist, and that Russia was not an authoritarian state, but an ally of the Donbass rebels.
