Lindybeige (1.2m YouTube subscribers) hardly needs our endorsement but this interview with a British member of the Ukrainian Foreign Legion is excellent. Organisation, disorganisation, treachery, office politics, death, Walter Mittys, mess tins, big bangy things, tea; it’s got it all, apart from Part II.
I have seen this video, it is extremely interesting and sobering. Some of the comments refer to the chap as a sort of militarised Dave Lister from Red Dwarf, which is actually a very fair description, except this man has immense courage.
I enjoyed it too. And if you’re interested in that kind of thing, I’d recommend Carolus Lofroos’ book about Ukraine in 2014-15, entitled The Foreigner Group.
Yes indeed.
