Russel "Texas" Bentley is an American who went to Ukraine in 2014 to fight for the so-called separatists in Donbas.[1][2][3]
Sonia Smith for texasmonthly.com, in an overall unsympathetic article writes about his early life:[4]
"He had led something of a swashbuckling life; he’d been an Army engineer based in Germany, a hard-partying musician in South Padre, a marijuana legalization activist in Minnesota and Alaska, and a drug trafficker on the run from the U.S. Marshals. In the early nineties, he’d even vied for a seat in the U.S. Senate."
