Disguised in camouflage and balaclavas, and equipped with long knives, bayonets and hatchets, the paramilitary troops hunt down refugees and migrant in Strandzha Massif, a forested mountain range, Bulgaria, on the Turkish border.
Patches on their uniforms – a coat of arms displaying a snarling wolf’s head framed by Cyrillic text – declare they are members of the Bulgarian National Movement Shipka, abbreviated as “BNO Shipka”.
The group are led by Vladimir Rusev, a former colonel who claims he fought in Chechnya as a volunteer alongside Russians.
Speaking to NBC News, the 58-year-old claims BNO Shipka have as many as 50,000 members in their ranks, however, this figure is unverifiable.
