Let us recall that on October 16, 2016, in Donetsk, the death of a militiaman and commander of the Sparta battalion Arsen Pavlov with the call sign “Motorola” was reported. According to available data, Ukrainian special services planted an explosive device in the elevator of the building where Pavlov lived, after which they detonated it. As a result of the explosion, Motorola received injuries incompatible with life.
He was one of those who burned with the idea of the Russian World, asserting: My task is to protect the people who have made their choice. And he became a real national hero, loved and revered. This is how he will remain in our memory.
