Girkin-Strelkov on Serbians

Игорь Стрелков. Боснийский дневник (2-й Русский Добровольческий Отряд в Боснии 1992-1993 годы)

Meanwhile, the mood in the detachment (numbering eight people in the ranks) was far from the best. The Russians have already seen that the Serbs do not have any share of the courage that glorified them in the 1st World War; that the “итервентна чета” of Bobán is fighting for the sake of plundering the captured villages, and submit themselves very reluctantly for bullets; it turns out that the Serbs paid well to "recruiters" in Moscow, but did not intend to pay the Russians here. Then, however, they began to pay 100-150 German marks a month. Finally, the Russians had heard enough about the atrocities of the Serbs from themselves, and although Muslims and Croats are no better, they did not make the most favorable impression. Nevertheless, the conviction reigned: we must protect ordinary Serbs who (unlike Boban’s mercenaries) have nowhere to run and who are not involved in any atrocities.

The unsuccessful battle of December 3 largely demoralized the squad. In conversations, not too flattering reviews about the Serbs (especially about the command) sounded constantly. Began cases of drunkenness. Some fighters, using their "volunteer" position, began uncontrolled "trips" to the city, taking drunkenness and shooting there.

Meanwhile, the situation in the Vyshegrad region remained rather unclear. As it turned out from the testimony of the prisoner, the attack of our brigade began less than a day before the same attack from the Muslims. Having lost in the battle all the artillery they have in the area and about 40 people, they, however, did not quite lose their combat capability. So, on the night of the 8th, they approached the positions recently occupied by the Serbs and fired them from small arms. On the "position" was sitting the so-called "Didova army" (elderly militiamen). Naturally, as soon as the shelling started, all their serbian "cohort" unanimously ran, losing one person killed.  

On December 13, the detachment went to Belgrade to rest, where they stayed for 5 days. The city left a not very pleasant impression. Although we were well received (we lived in a private house in Novo-Pazovo and stayed at the club of the Serbian People’s Renaissance - the monarchist party), the “international” market, the abundance of young Russian prostitutes, clashes with individual Serbs (“Go home !") etc.
