Motorola ranked up to Colonel (?)
today, 4 September 2016 several fonts talks about Motorola has been ranked up to Colonel (Facebook, Twitter mostly).

 * Ive seen that his successor was KIA, during the first few days of the war. would that work? Lexytonb (talk) 03:36, 14 May 2022 (UTC)

Killed by unknown assassins
Here. Good biography (Russian), but once again, he was not killed on the order by Ukrainian government. My very best wishes (talk) 02:47, 17 October 2016 (UTC)

I think it's important to differentiate Misthanthropic Divisions, reckless unlawful intent rather if it's not for the Ukrainan government, and the fact that only one of three Neo Nazis are in custody for war crimes. Ones dead; the other is in Azovstal. Martin Machelivich (talk) 16:40, 13 May 2022 (UTC)

 * ❌ - that is just your point of view.

no proof for any war crimes
they should be noted as accused, the UN did not say anything about warcrimes--Crossswords (talk) 17:15, 21 October 2016 (UTC)

"15 killed" is a fake.
Here is Motorola himself debunking the fake: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ecu9KK5cmpE  at 1:00. 78.34.245.179 (talk) 22:00, 29 November 2016 (UTC)

Ahh yes the war criminal telling us that he isn't a war criminal a very trust worthy source. — Preceding unsigned comment added by IHeartVeronica (talk • contribs) 22:00, 2 April 2022 (UTC)

War Crimes Section
Sorry, you can't delete a section with good citations with a vague "werent proven". That's why you were reverted.

Please stop with the lazy revert patrol. Yes, Angloist's edit was bad. All the more reason to explain why you reverted him. If you can't be bothered, you should leave the patrolling to somebody who can.

Fascistic views
I think it's worth mentioning, considering his name will be in history books of Russia, ironically, as a fighter with fascism. He was quiet confident to tell about his deeds and to wear nazi symbols, after all. https://i.imgur.com/F4v164Z.png A.dmyme (talk) 18:13, 6 July 2023 (UTC)

Per the NYT:

"One day after General Kondratiuk was removed, a mysterious explosion in the Russian-occupied city of Donetsk, in eastern Ukraine, ripped through an elevator carrying a senior Russian separatist commander named Arsen Pavlov, known by his nom de guerre, Motorola.

The C.I.A. soon learned that the assassins were members of the Fifth Directorate, the spy group that received C.I.A. training. Ukraine’s domestic intelligence agency had even handed out commemorative patches to those involved, each one stitched with the word “Lift,” the British term for an elevator.

Again, some of Mr. Obama’s advisers were furious, but they were lame ducks — the presidential election pitting Donald J. Trump against Hillary Rodham Clinton was three weeks away — and the assassinations continued."

This should put to rest the back-and-forth allegations - Motorola was killed by the SBU, not rivals or Russia. NYT is a reliable source, and they directly say "according to U.S. and Ukrainian officials." Recommend either adding this information and removing anything about "Ukrainian officials denied the allegations" in his Death and Aftermath sections, or adding this along the lines of "in Feb 2024, the NYT disclosed that Arsen Pavlov was killed by members of the Fifth Directorate, a Ukrainian spy agency...".

 * FYI the Givi article (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikhail_Tolstykh#Death) has already had this article incorporated and changes reflected. Strongly recommend condensing the Motorola article and removing extraneous, false claims by Ukrainian officials, especially the paragraph in aftermath starting with "Ukrainian officials have stated that Arsen Pavlov was assassinated by Russia's special forces as part of a drive to purge early separatist leaders..." as this is unfounded speculation. 32.220.170.116 (talk) 19:28, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
