Evgeny Zhulidov: war crimes

From the first day of rf’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, he was engaged in informational support of “svoy”. He published on his Telegram channel summaries of military operations, mostly disinformation, intimidation of Ukrainian military and their families, footage of executions of prisoners of war and the like.

He widely covered the Gostomel operation of the Russian Airborne Forces, in which the 45th Special Purpose Brigade, in which Evgeny Zhulidov himself serves, played a key role. He was engaged in creating a myth about “Gostomel bogatyrs”, using footage from the scene of events, which he was given by his coworkers.

In the first
interview with Project WarGonzo
where Zhulidov acted as one of the admins of the channel “Archangel of Spetsnaz”, called himself a participant of the “Gostomel landing”. He was confused in his testimony, claiming that he was part of a ground column that had moved out to support the airborne troops.

However, no confirmation of his participation in these events could be found. At the same time, it is worth noting that during the first months of the invasion, the Archangel Spetsnaz channel was very active, mostly publishing content stolen from other channels and Russian IPSO. There certainly wouldn’t be enough time for his administrator to fight.

The first footage that confirms that Yevhen Zhulidov is in Ukraine is dated late spring. He started his “fighting way” with the battles for Popasnaya. At the same time, he was not directly involved in the fighting. Engaged in artillery and ATGM adjustments, as well as aerial reconnaissance from drone and drops.

In his spare time, he “exposed” the families of Mariupol defenders, publishing their personal data and urging his subscribers to engage in information terrorism. Zhulidov also repeatedly called for killing prisoners and killing civilians, but later, when the concept of the channel changed, he deleted such publications.

Evgeny Zhulidov: propaganda

Apparently, the rebranding of Zhulidov’s personal channel into the Archangel Spetsnaz project took place on March 23, 2022. It is this day that he calls “the birthday of the channel”. Over the summer, the channel got additional admins, as well as special information warfare and propaganda tasks from the command.

In early September, the project “Archangel of Spetsnaz” began to be actively promoted through “IPB-friendly” networks of channels, controlled military correspondents and even federal channels. Judging by the dramatic increase in subscribers in just a few days – a significant number of bots were also purchased.

All this preparation, as it became clear later, was carried out under a special operation – information support of mobilization. It was the “Archangel of Spetsnaz” who became one of the main mouthpieces of Kremlin propaganda on the subject, calling those who opposed the war and mobilization “traitors” and urging “real men” to go to the military enlistment offices.

In the future, the Archangel of Spetsnaz was constantly practicing the agenda of the russian military and political leadership in moments of crisis. In return, Evgeny Zhulidov and his colleagues received promotions, awards and certificates, as well as the opportunity to dispose of millions of dollars in revenues from fees for the needs of the Russian Armed Forces.

At the moment, Zhulidov regularly creates propaganda videos and documentaries dedicated to the “heroes of the pov”. He never shows his face or gives his name. Subscribers know him by his call sign “Athlete.”

In addition to this work, Zhulidov continues to assist the Russian IPSO. Among other things, he was one of the first to start urging Ukrainian military personnel to surrender by going on a special radio frequency. Videos of interrogations and humiliation of captives also regularly appear on his channel.
