Primorsky Partisans

The Primorsky Partisans or the Primorsky Guerrillas (Russian: Приморские партизаны) - were a group of six young men who waged guerrilla war in 2010 on police in Primorsky Krai in Russia. They were active from February–June 2010. The group declared a guerrilla war against what they described as corrupt police. Their attacks included shooting traffic policemen, raiding a village police station and stabbing an officer to death there. The group posted videos on the internet to explain their motives[1]

Motivation

On October 9, 2010, a 13-minute video entitled “The Last Interview of the Primorsky Krai Guerrillas” was released on YouTube. In the video the partizans of the group declared a guerrilla war against corruption and Russian Militsiya.[5][6] The video was removed from the YouTube server several times due to complaints.

Reaction

A poll of listeners to the Echo of Moscow radio station indicated that 60-75 percent of listeners sympathised with the Primorsky partisans and would offer them help.[7][8]
