https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Club_of_Angry_Patriots
The Club of Angry Patriots (Клуб рассерженных патриотов) is a Russian activist group dedicated to supporting the war in Ukraine, its membership includes former Russian Neo-Nazi and Donbas separatist commander Pavel Gubarev and The Other Russia party.
Although a pro-war group, its calls for more hardline policies and condemnations of Kremlin incompetence have led it to legal concerns, although pro-war protest is treated far more leniently than anti-war protest in Russia, the group’s leader Igor Girkin (also known as Igor Strelkov), a former organiser for the Donbas separatist militants, was arrested in 2023 and jailed on a 4 year term in 2024 for “extremism”. The group itself continues to exist and publishes statements from Strelkov and calls for his release.
