Fighters bearing flowers as rebel commander weds sweetheart in Donetsk
(11 Jul 2014) The pro-Russia rebel commander Arsen Pavlov, who has been involved in the recent fighting in Eastern Ukraine, married his sweetheart Elena Kolenkina in Donetsk on Friday.
The wedding was attended by armed rebels, including Igor Girkin, a Russian better known by his assumed nom de guerre Strelkov, who is also the defence minister of the so-called Donetsk People’s Republic.
The rebels, including the groom, attended the event dressed in military uniforms.
Some separatists held guns in their arms during the entire ceremony, which was conducted under the laws of the self-proclaimed independent Donetsk People’s Republic.
