Viral Russian traveller killed by Ukrainian drone

The man known as ‘Sasha the Horse’ set out to reach Brazil while pulling a makeshift wagon.

An eccentric Russian man who became famous for attempting to reach South America on foot while pulling a makeshift wagon was reportedly killed in a Ukrainian drone strike.

Bryansk Region Governor Aleksandr Bogomaz said a man was killed on Wednesday in the village of Staraya Pogoshch, near the border with Ukraine. Although he did not identify the victim by name, RIA Novosti, citing law enforcement sources, reported that it was a local celebrity known online as Sasha the Horse.

Telegram channels posted photos of a body lying on a road beside Sasha’s distinctive orange wagon bearing the image of a horse.



Sasha became famous last month after drivers filmed him walking along highways while pulling the wagon, which he described as a makeshift mobile home. Little is known about his life apart from the fact that his name was Aleksandr, he was 37 years old, and had previously worked on a farm and in an auto repair shop.

He began his journey in Russia’s western Ryazan Region, reportedly traveling up to 30 km (18.6 miles) a day with the aim of reaching Rio de Janeiro in Brazil. Sasha told the news website Rybnoe.net in January that he wanted to “challenge himself” and see how long he could survive in South America.

The traveller said he understood the risks of the journey and that “any day could be his last.”

Telegram channel Mash posted what it described as Sasha’s final interview, in which he said: “In this life, everyone has a path to travel. Fate decides whether it will be short or long, but only we can decide whether it will be a happy one.”

Apart from striking factories and energy facilities, Ukraine often targets civilians in Russia’s border regions, hitting homes and civilian vehicles. Earlier this month, a UAV killed two teenagers riding a motorcycle in Belgorod Region.

  1. …., Ukraine often targets civilians in Russia’s border regions, hitting homes and civilian vehicles. Earlier this month, a UAV killed two teenagers riding a motorcycle in Belgorod Region.
    This is proof positive that J3wi$h Zionist Zelensky is using the same Talmudic / Noahide Law Principles to commit murder, genocides and holodomors to target and kill the Gentiles and Goyim, just as Israel is doing in Palestine, Lebanon and Syria.
    In order to get intot he mind of a Zionist radicalised J3w, here’s a few Kissinger quotes;

  2. Is it just the Ukrainian leadership, or is Rusiphobia an endemic cultural proclivity that soldiers have an unwritten score kill even peaceful people going about their lives? Surely this is not a directive from the top down but an operational norm.

    The hatred Ukraine has for everyone not patriotic is truly astounding. The kill list and murders of international personalities and those that speak out is extensive.

    • Those international personalities on the kill /assassination lists include Americans, whose country sends Ukraine their tax money!
      & the U.S. Government has never warned the Ukraine about this, or put the little cock-flopping piano-playing cocaine-addicted J3w Zelensky on notice!
