An alleged war criminal and neo-Nazi who gained notoriety for posting photos of himself torturing and killing a puppy was sent to teach children at a Russian school. Alexey Milchakov, who co-founded the far-Right neo-Nazi paramilitary unit Rusich (DShRG), which has been fighting on the side of Russia in Ukraine since 2014, led a “Lesson in Courage” for students at a secondary school in St Petersburg’s Kirovsky district. The “Lessons in Courage” scheme has seen veterans from the war in Ukraine deployed to teach lessons in hundreds of educational institutions across Russia. It has been promoted as a socially beneficial means of reintegrating soldiers returning from the front. Milchakov rose to fame in 2011, when the then 20-year-old filmed himself torturing, dismembering and then eating a puppy before posting images online. In a post at the time on VKontakte, a Russian social network, he called for the slaughter of “homeless people, puppies and children” and also boasted about shooting anti-fascists. (…) Milchakov, who once openly described himself as a “Nazi” and called Adolf Hitler his inspiration, fought as a volunteer in the 2014 war in Donbas, where he bragged about mutilating the bodies of murdered Ukrainian soldiers. He was later linked to atrocities in Syria with the Wagner Group in 2017, before returning to Ukraine at the start of the full-scale invasion, where he published an “instruction manual” online for “disposing” of Ukrainian prisoners of war which urged soldiers to torture and kill them before selling information about their bodies to their relatives for money. Rusich in November 2025 publicly announced a “contest” with “material rewards” in cryptocurrency for fighters who sent photographs of themselves executing Ukrainian prisoners of war.
