Russia hunts 'Rambo' gang after campaign of violence against police | World news | The Guardian: "Detectives in Russia's far east were today using tanks and helicopters to comb the region's coniferous forests and swamps for a gang of avenging outlaws who have carried out a series of attacks on police.
Dubbed the 'Russian Rambos', the group shot dead a policeman last month in the village of Rakitnoye in the Primorye Krai region. They wounded three officers in two further attacks near the town of Spassk, officials say – shooting up a patrol and ambushing a car.
The gang's leader is said to be 32-year-old Roman Muromtsev, a former army officer and Chechen war veteran, who sent a warning letter to police last month. In it, he said local people had grown utterly fed up with police corruption and lawlessness. Unless the force mended its criminal ways, he would be compelled to act as a 'people's avenger', he threatened."
