>We talked about everything: movies, the Bible, the Quran, life, the situation in Donbass, Russia, and the world. About moonshine and aliens. Russell was spiritually, morally, and intellectually a man ‘from the future,’ a ‘2.0 human.’ But he loved almost everyone he dealt with, never put on airs, and could blend in with the simplest workers, militiamen, or random strangers.”
>Russell Bentley was born in 1960 in Austin, Texas, into a wealthy family. From a young age, his views diverged from those around him. As a teenager, he read books by Che Guevara, Ho Chi Minh, and works by Marx and Engels. His favorite work in Russian literature was Alexei Tolstoy’s trilogy The Road to Calvary. His favorite Soviet film — Come and See.
>During his first week in Donetsk, Bentley went daily to the base of the “Sparta” battalion. Every morning he heard, “Come back tomorrow.” Eventually, he was accepted into the legendary “Vostok” battalion, which included an international brigade.
>At the training base, Russell met fighters from the “Essence of Time” tactical group. On December 31, 2014, he found himself with them at a position in the Iversky Monastery. This stronghold, known as “Three-Story,” was located in a three-floor building with monastic cells and was within arm’s reach of the Donetsk airport terminal, occupied by Ukrainian nationalists. Fighting was nonstop. “Texas” participated as a sniper and a grenadier. But on January 16, he fell ill and, at the insistence of commanders, went to the hospital.
