For years there were military-style training camps in and east of Donets'k, Ukraine. Drills, combat training, even use of live-fire weapons all under a flag that's very close to the separatists "Donetsk People's Republic" flag. They were for teens a decade ago.

When the flag surfaced and a lot of "locals" were trained and prepared, it was billed as a spontaneous uprising because of Ukrainian oppression. Even with all the documentation that this was on a lot of people's minds even when pro-Russian presidents were in place a lot of folk believe it was an impromptu, surprise response to a Western coup. No question as to where the funding came from, or the trainers. The paranoia and militarism runs deep in many cultures, as deep as motivated thinking and blindness in others.
