The Moscow Times spoke with friends of the individuals killed, who confirmed that the men were part of a local LARPing community who roleplay Stalkers and played with air guns.
Russia's FSB, the federal security service, shot and killed three men in the Voronezh region of Russia on November 23. Russian state media subsequently reported on the incident and claimed the FSB had eliminated a terrorist cell, and the FSB releaseddescribing the group as "a clandestine cell of supporters of the Ukrainian nationalist ideology."
The FSB's statement gives an account of the alleged incident in which it claimed the individuals opened fire before being killed."When they tried to detain the ringleader and his two accomplices [...] the latter offered armed resistance to the Russian FSB officers and were destroyed by retaliatory actions."
The Russian state TV report on the incident, however, unwittingly opened another line of enquiry. In the video below the supposed terrorist compound can be seen: on the wall a British flag is hung, in front of which is a flag featuring the head of a wolf. A notebook is shown that is an accounting of the"Svoboda Group". The Svoboda political party is an ultranationalist political party in Ukraine. However, it is also a faction in S.T.A.L.K.E.R.
The real-world political party does not use any imagery that could be confused with the fictional faction.
