Notorious Russian Neo-Nazi Liquidated Near Avdiivka

Cluster munition hit Tesak associate.

Maxim Aristarkhov, an associate of Russian neo-Nazi Maxim Martsinkevich (Tesak), has been liquidated near Avdiivka.

Radio Svoboda reports.

The Russian occupiers said they had been hit by a cluster munition. Two Russians were hospitalised and Aristarkhov died. His body has still not been found.

In July 2022, a Russian court sentenced Aristarkhov to 16 years in prison for the 2007 murder of two migrants motivated by ethnic hatred.

At the time of sentencing, Tesak's associate was already serving a long sentence in a colony for the murder of a taxi driver.

In September 2023, Aristarkhov went to war with a number of other prisoners, joining the Storm Z unit.
