Сегодняшний праздник для Рассела был бы значимой датой для него. Он поздравил бы всех своих ставших ему родными братьями, русских воинов, своего командира Александра Сергеевича Ходаковского и других командиров, которых он безгранично уважал за мужество и отвагу, и всегда подчёркивал это, с Днём ветеранов боевых действий! Рассел в первую очередь искренне, с болью в сердце, помянул бы всех тех героев, кого уже с нами нет, кто отдал всего себя в сражении за Родину!
Он сказал бы: "Пока есть эти люди, такие как здесь, зло не сможет восторжествовать - пока есть настоящие воины, которые встают плечом к плечу и защищают Родину, освобождая её от фашистского зла. Мы, живые, всё ещё живы, потому что настоящие воины приносят себя в жертву".
"Техас" обязательно вспомнил бы "Пятницу", "Болгарина", "Белку", "Лома", "Грека", "Льва", ВСЕХ его друзей, братьев, товарищей, которых так много, что всех не перечесть, и сказал бы, что они - пример всему миру! "Помните об этих воинах! Помните!", - призвал бы он.
Но моего мужа больше нет. Поэтому сегодня от его имени всех настоящих воинов, участников боевых действий, ветеранов боевых действий поздравляю я, Людмила Бентли. Знаю, что Рассел хотел бы этого.
От себя хочу пожелать - живите, пожалуйста, живите. И сквозь эту очень тяжёлую войну, самое главное - сохраните свою Человечность. Ведь эта война, как не уходи от этого момента, но проходит через душу каждого человека. Сохраните свою Человечность, каждый воин. А возможно это только, если вы с Богом.
С Богом!
For Russell
Russell would first of all sincerely, through his heart, remember all those heroes who are no longer with us, who gave all of themselves in the battle for the Motherland!
He would say: "As long as there are these people like here, evil cannot triumph - as long as there are real warriors who stand shoulder to shoulder and defend the Motherland, liberating it from fascist evil. We, the living, are still alive due to true warriors sacrifice themselves."
'Texas' would be sure to remember 'Friday', 'Bulgaria', 'Squirrel', 'Lom', 'Greek', 'Lion', ALL his friends, brothers, comrades, who are so many that it is impossible to count them all, and would say that they are an example to the whole world! "Remember these warriors! Remember!", he would urge.
But my husband is gone. So today, on his behalf, I, Lyudmila Bentley, congratulate all the real warriors, combat veterans. I know Russell would me to do that.
I offer my personal congratulations saying - stay alive, please, stay alive. And through this very hard war, the most important thing is to preserve Human Dignity. After all, this war goes through the soul of every person. Preserve your Human Dignity 🙏🏻 And this is possible only IF YOU ARE ON THE SIDE OF GOD, not devil.
God bless you!
today's holiday would be a significant date. He would congratulate all of his Russian soldiers who have become his brothers, his commander Alexander Khodakovsky and other commanders, whom he respected immensely for their courage and bravery, and he always emphasized it, on Combat Veterans Day!

💢 “I want to give my husband a Christian burial”
💢 Interview with Lyudmila Bentley, the wife of the murdered American volunteer "Texas"
Almost three months have passed since the disappearance of American volunteer and military reporter Russell "Texas" Bentley. Despite the fact that the body has not yet been found, it is known that the suspects in Bentley’s murder have already been detained. Since the investigation is still ongoing, even the relatives of the people involved in this totally terrible situation cannot disclose any specific details. And, yet, some of the information leaks into the public space, one way or another.
I was able to talk with the wife of "Texas", Lyudmila Bentley, who revealed the details of her husband's disappearance, told me how the investigation was going and how she reacted to the appeal of the relatives of the suspects to the President of the Russian Federation with a request to "get justice”.
"He was on his way to help people"
On April 8, 2024, the Armed Forces of Ukraine shelled the Petrovsky district of Donetsk. Russell and his wife live in this district (of Donetsk), and they happened to be located nearby during the shelling. The American volunteer left his wife at the location they were at and went to the area of the artillery strike. His goal was to help the victims.
"I’ve heard rumors that he went to take a video. Those who say that do not understand that we have already helped people many times. We are residents of the Petrovsky district, and all residents of Petrovsky help each other out," Lyudmila said.
That being said, Russell had signed an official work contract with Sputnik (news agency). He was an accredited journalist, and, with him, he had documents confirming his status. Accordingly, he had the ability to make a video of the site of the shelling, but, still, he went there, first and foremost, to help the victims.
At 4:15pm, “Texas” left for the site of the shelling, and, since then, there have been no communications from him. Lyudmila waited for her husband and then started calling him after 5pm, but she couldn’t get through to Russell anymore.
"Witnesses saw that he was being led by military people"
The same evening “Texas” went silent, Lyudmila went to the place Russell left for to look for her husband. At about 7pm, the woman inquired with people who were there. A man told her that he heard someone shouting "bro".
"In other words, he was screaming. It wasn't a conversation - it was a scream. “Bro” was how he usually addressed men and guys. In 2016, Alexander Sladkov interviewed Russell and noted that he addresses everyone as "bro"," Lyudmila noted.
After that, she sounded the alarm. The woman left her contacts on social networks so that witnesses of the event could contact her. "People told they saw Russell being driven away by military people. There were five of them. They tied his hands behind his back, put a bag over his head, and put him in a car," shared the wife of the missing American.
Lyudmila appealed to the Investigative Committee with a request to interview witnesses, but initially they did not want to take this information into account, citing the event witnesses’ conflict of interest. Extreme measures had to be taken: Lyudmila appealed to the President of the Russian Federation, which became a turning point in the case of the missing Bentley.
"Following my appeal to the President, the case was transferred to the Main Military Directorate of the Investigative Committee. I've spoken of all of this before, and the media published this information when I wasn’t being heard. Everything that I am voicing now is case materials, and I don’t have the right to disclose them, as I signed a nondisclosure agreement, but this is what I had already told prior to the transfer of the case to the Main Military Directorate of the Investigative Committee,” she stressed.

💢 “I want to give my husband a Christian burial”
An appeal of female relatives of suspects and inconsistencies in versions
In the interests of the investigation, the names of the detained suspects were not being disclosed. Details became known after an open appeal of female relatives of the detainees to the President of the Russian Federation. Olga Iordanova, the wife of Andrey Iordanov, a senior lieutenant and the commander of a tank company of the 5th brigade named after Zakharchenko, and Irina Maltseva, the sister of Vladimir Bazhin, a senior lieutenant in the tank company of the 5th Brigade named after Zakharchenko. The video was posted by lawyer Elman Pashayev on his Telegram channel, where he put up his version of what took place.
"A HIMARS arrived and our fighters died. Andrey Yevgenyevich Iordanov, Vladimir Nikolaevich Bazhin, and Vladislav Vladislavovich Agaltsev, tankers of the 5th brigade, approached the place of death of our soldiers and observed a certain foreigner filming the place of shelling and probably transmitting the location of our troops. In response to the fighters’ demand to leave, he took out a weapon and began to threaten the tankers. He was disarmed, but, unfortunately, the foreigner was of a very strong build and managed to escape," Pashayev wrote.
According to Pashayev, allegedly, the detainees are being subjected to brute force. Pashayev became known as a result of the case of Russian actor Mikhail Efremov. Even back then, he had made controversial claims. His current statements also raise questions, which we'll talk about a little later.
To his text, lawyer Pashayev attached a video with an appeal from female relatives, in which one of the women spoke of what happened on April 8 in the Petrovsky district according to their version.
"There was an arrival. After the arrival, an American somehow ended up at the place of the arrival, speaking English and brandishing a weapon. Our guys detained him. And now, for unknown reasons, they’ve been detained since May 28. The investigator, who was sent from Moscow, is not admitting our lawyers. He constantly removes them from the case, forcing the guys to sign papers of refusal of these lawyers that we find for him. In this situation that hasn’t been justified for us, he put the guys in a pretrial detention center and does not allow us see them, or send them something, or explain why they are being held there," Olga Iordanova said.
Despite Olga's entire speech being cut up for editing, even that which she did voice raised many questions, which Lyudmila actually answered in personal communication.
"A year ago, Russell gave an interview to German Vladimirov for the “LenTV” channel. He spoke in Russian for twenty minutes. He was asked questions in Russian, and he answered them in Russian. Last fall we went to Nizhny Novgorod. There, he also spoke Russian on his own. Everyone who knew Russell closely noted that he had made progress in the Russian language," Lyudmila noted.
Accordingly, Russell was able to explain himself in Russian. Regularly in communication with military people, he would have spoken the language familiar to military personnel while communicating with them, never mind him using a weapon. Lyudmila also clarified the situation regarding the handgun in question.
"Since he had fought, he had а trophy weapon. When the law on the registration of trophy weapons was passed, he immediately did so. He has had a carry permit for several years now. Witnesses saw that they were leading him with his hands tied behind his back. He did not have his bag containing the weapon. He always carried a crossbody bag. Should anything happen, his hand was always on the weapon. The weapon was in a holster in the bag. He was not wearing the bag at the time of his arrest. In other words, they took his belongings from him," the wife of "Texas" stressed.

💢 “I want to give my husband a Christian burial”
Lyudmila said that the female relatives of the suspects insulted her husband's memory with their words. At the same time, the wife of the murdered American volunteer does not intend to blame the entire 5th brigade named after the first Head of the DPR Alexander Zakharchenko.
"I have never indiscriminately accused the entire 5th brigade of anything because there are decent people fighting there, whom I personally know. The 5th brigade named after Zakharchenko say that people there serve in the brigade of the first Head (of the DPR). Back in 2015, Alexander Vladimirovich (Zakharchenko) spoke about Russell in an interview with a hostile news outlet. He said, "We have an American, call sign “Texas”, he is a sniper." The interview was about a Buryat, but Alexander Vladimirovich said that it means they have the same heart and they were raised by the right mothers. That is, the Head of the Donetsk Republic knew about Russell, about what he had done for the Republic," Lyudmila reminded.
"I want to bury my husband"
The investigation is still far from over. Examinations of the alleged remains are being conducted, witnesses are being interviewed, and new details, which are not yet to be spoken of publicly, are coming in. In turn, Lyudmila wants only one thing: for all of Russell's remains to be given to her in order to bury him in a Christian way.
"I trust in the professionalism of our investigators; that they will not succumb to any pressure, and, most importantly, what I ask, what my heart screams about, is that I want to bury my husband. And I'm not alone. You should know how many people are standing with me, behind me, watching this situation from all over the world: how the investigators act, whether they are investigating honestly, whether the investigation by the Russian Federation is being conducted decently, whether Russell will be buried with dignity," she summed up.

ЧТОБЫ “ЗВЕЗДА АЛЕКСАНДРА ЗАХАРЧЕНКО” НЕ ПОГАСЛА,
НАМ НУЖНА ВАША ПОДДЕРЖКА:
Всего за несколько дней наш фильм о Первом Главе ДНР в ВК посмотрело более двухсот тысяч человек. Из них добровольный билет оплатило… 120 человек, это 0,06%. Он стоит всего 195 рублей,
но дело не в цене. Я не хочу манипулировать, играть на тонких струнах или заниматься культурной антропологией. Рассуждать о том, что у нас не все ценят чужой труд или не привыкли платить “добровольно” (или платить за кино). Мне чужды любые методы “политтехнологов”.
Возможно, наши зрители (особенно в Донбассе) так застрессованы, что, как у Вознесенского, “не дай вам Бог перенести”. И у них внимание включилось не на коротком объявлении в начале фильма (и в его описании), а только когда на экране появился Александр Захарченко, и они посмотрели весь наш фильм на одном дыхании. И это для нас остаётся самым главным! И мы - готовы, как и всегда, работать для наших зрителей, платят они или нет. Но сейчас проекту нужна их / Ваша помощь.
Мы надеялись выручить достаточные средства на продаже “добровольных билетов”, чтобы сделать качественный перевод на ведущие мировые языки, провести пиар-кампанию для фильма по всему миру - на “глобальном юге”, на Востоке, и на Западе; наконец, показать по “большому” ТВ у нас в России. Представьте себе: один из наших "больших" каналов согласился его показать, но … бесплатно (!). Я не шучу и не преувеличиваю. В 22-м году именно так было с нашим фильмом, снятым в Мариуполе: мы тогда могли “субсидировать” его производство и показ из средств, заработанных с одним из арабских каналов. Но сейчас у нас такой возможности нет: если мы будем просто бесплатно давать фильмы каналам, получающим от государства миллиарды рублей, а сами не сможем поддерживать нашу команду на плаву - то вылетим в трубу. Возможно, именно на это и надеются те, кто хотят, чтобы у Донбасса, у России не было ни одной независимой медиакомпании. Ведь с такими как мы “сложно”, а тех, кто зависит от государства или олигархов, можно легко “убедить” - вырезать из фильма того или иного человека, заранее “согласовать” сценарий, замаскировать под “согласование” цензуру (хотя, она у нас запрещена по конституции). Так не годится - ни для нас, ни для Донецкой Народной Республики, ни для России. Александр Захарченко боролся прежде всего за свободу, и без неё у нас не будет ни счастливого будущего, ни донбасских яблок на российских прилавках, ни “яблонь на Марсе”.
Поэтому, для того, чтобы даже просто продолжить развивать наш текущий проект (не более того), продвигать фильм “Звезда Александра Захарченко”, мы сейчас обращаемся к тем из Вас, кому это по силам: - поддержать нашу работу и сделать взнос в размере не менее 1,000 (одной тысячи) рублей. Раз даже билет за 195 рублей оплатило чуть более сотни человек, мы понимаем, что только увеличив сумму взноса, сможем получить хотя бы какую-то значимую поддержку. Мы не хотим обивать пороги спонсоров, мини- и просто олигархов и чиновников, ждать в чьих-то приёмных, ходить “с протянутой рукой”. Только не с именем Александра Захарченко! Поэтому мы, с гордо поднятой головой, уже доказав всё нашей работой, обращаемся к вам - нашим зрителям - за дружеской поддержкой.
Нам не стыдно о ней просить. Пусть будет стыдно тем, кто, зная о том, что мы делали для Республики с 14-го года (!), вытащил у нашего фильма “шнур из розетки”, а раньше - не бросил нам “спасательный круг”. В 22-м году, когда мы в силу изменившейся обстановки лишились всех международных контрактов. Но всё равно - выплыли! ⬇️⬇️⬇️

Александр Захарченко боролся прежде всего за свободу, и без неё у нас не будет ни счастливого будущего, ни донбасских яблок на российских прилавках, ни “яблонь на Марсе”.
Поэтому, для того, чтобы даже просто продолжить развивать наш текущий проект (не более того), продвигать фильм “Звезда Александра Захарченко”, мы сейчас обращаемся к тем из Вас, кому это по силам: - поддержать нашу работу и сделать взнос в размере не менее 1,000 (одной тысячи) рублей. Раз даже билет за 195 рублей оплатило чуть более сотни человек, мы понимаем, что только увеличив сумму взноса, сможем получить хотя бы какую-то значимую поддержку. Мы не хотим обивать пороги спонсоров, мини- и просто олигархов и чиновников, ждать в чьих-то приёмных, ходить “с протянутой рукой”. Только не с именем Александра Захарченко! Поэтому мы, с гордо поднятой головой, уже доказав всё нашей работой, обращаемся к вам - нашим зрителям - за дружеской поддержкой.
Нам не стыдно о ней просить. Пусть будет стыдно тем, кто, зная о том, что мы делали для Республики с 14-го года (!), вытащил у нашего фильма “шнур из розетки”, а раньше - не бросил нам “спасательный круг”. В 22-м году, когда мы в силу изменившейся обстановки лишились всех международных контрактов. Но всё равно - выплыли! ⬇️⬇️⬇️
