The E.N.O.T. Corp (ЧВК «ЕНОТ») was a (Pro-Russia) PMC operating in the Ukraine conflict, in support of the Pro-Russian forces, it was founded by far-right activists of the Bright Rus Party and collaborated with Alexei Milchakov, the Neo-Nazi commander of the Rusich Group paramilitary:

Alexei Milchakov, who had been convicted in his native St Petersburg over the sadistic killing of puppies and calls on fellow neo-Nazis to kill down-and-outs, also went to Donbas on what was called a ‘humanitarian work trip’.  He has admitted in a skype interview that he received money for his mercenary services, and also posted photos of himself over the bodies of Ukrainian soldiers he had killed. It looks as though his killing ‘services’ were deemed grounds enough for waiving the criminal charges against him back in his native Russia.  

Milchakov and fellow neo-Nazi militant  Jan Petrovsky (Veliki Slavian), although themselves not E.N.O.T. Corps members, were valued ‘instructors’ at the 2015 training camp, which took place under the patronage of Alexander Borodai, one of the Russian founders of the so-called ‘Donetsk people’s republic.  The training course involved seminars and practice in sniper fire; using a pistol or machine gun; martial arts; field medicine, etc.  Kids who looked 13 or 14 at most were taught to shoot, move and take aim without being observed, to move injured comrades, etc. They were also subjected to ‘patriotic’ education of a far-right, imperialist bent.

The company dissolved in 2019, with its fighters later joining the Luhansk People’s Militia1.
