Who are the Russian citizens fighting for Ukraine? In this episode of pplpod, we investigate the Freedom of Russia Legion (FRL), a controversial paramilitary unit of Russian defectors taking up arms against the Kremlin. From their formation in 2022 to the daring Belgorod raids, we explore their motives and their ultimate goal to topple the regime of Vladimir Putin.
We discuss their mysterious spokesperson Caesar (Maximilian Andronnikov), their connection to the far-right Russian Volunteer Corps (RVC), and the skepticism surrounding their true strength and effectiveness on the battlefield. Join us for a deep dive into the anti-Putin resistance movement operating within the Russo-Ukrainian War.
