Rebel group posted online a photo of an identity card of Russian mercenary working for Moran Security group in Syria, more documents come among the mounting facts of involving the Russian security companies in war-torn country.


The Islamic movement of Ahrar al-Sham did not reveal any information regarding the fighter destiny if was killed or not after an ambush set up for many Russian fighters and forces loyal to Assad.


Russian newspaper Fontanka reported two weeks ago, about the involvement of Russian mercenaries in the war in Syria.


Fontanka interviewed some mercenaries who said that they were lured by a promise to get $4,000 per month and a solemn oath that the first salary would be transferred within days.

They were taken on a flight to Beirut, Lebanon and from there they were transferred by cars to Damascus. When they reached the Syrian border they traveled with a convoy of local guardsmen. In Damascus they were taken to a local hotel. The following day they were transferred by a plane to Latakia, and from there to a Syrian military base.

What happened next? Fontanka quotes one of those mercenaries as saying:

The large field between Latakia and Tartous was surrounded by barbed wire. There were Syrian reservists and our battalion. Previously, it was a race track. We were housed in the former stables. By October, there were 267 people from Slavic Corps, split into two companies. One company was staffed by Cossacks and the other by people from all over Russia, there were about 10-12 guys from St. Petersburg. As the commanders said, the the Syrian corps was expected to reach about 2,000 people.
