Plotnitsky, Lieutenant Colonel A. Bednov held a moderate position, urging all opponents in the republic to dialogue, including the leadership of the “LPR” and Cossacks.
However, according to unconfirmed information in December, a joint rebellion against Plotnitsky proposed Dremov.

When the militias are captured by someone, they will take him to the hospital, and will be treated and legally. It was these prisoners of the “Westerners” who he was engaged. ” The interview with Video was released 5 days before the shooting of Bednov.
The full text of the interview with Maxim Videutskiy can be read here on the eve of the new one, Alexander Bednov recorded a video greeting for his fellow countrymen and compatriots on the upcoming holidays.However, on January 1, the following message appeared on social networks: “This congratulation was supposed to appear this morning, it was shot by a military correspondent with the call sign“ cat ”.
But Plotnitsky’s vile hand killed one of the authoritative commanders who defended the city of Lugansk and its inhabitants. ” Batman's supporters also wrote the following: “... We are responsible: Alexander Bednov Batman was burned in an armored bus along with two militias. He sat behind, and his body was not burned much. He was identified by combat comrades. Three more militias were burned in Toyota of accompaniment.
However, the fact that only a charred body was provided as evidence gave a reason for the emergence of versions that Bednov was not killed, but captured by the Russian special services. So the chief editor of the publication "Forum. R ”Anatoly Baranov without reference to sources said that representatives of the Russian special services attacked Batman's motorcade, and he himself was perhaps taken to Russia.

Shocking photos of burned corpses were published by people from the environment of Bednov, who claimed that the escort was ambushed.
The press release of the Prosecutor General of the LPR claim that Bednov "refused to fulfill the legal requirements and disarm, put fierce resistance and was killed."

So I urge you to follow what the rebellion itself against the authorities of Lugansk will be immediately represented as a rebellion against Russia. ” According to Strelkov, the murder of Bednov is a “serious crime directed to the detriment of“ Novorossia ”, and“ his elimination was carried out in the worst traditions of the “showdown” of the bandit groups. The fighters of the Lugansk battalion Batman directly accuse Plotnitsky of organizing the murder of their commander.According to their version, Bednov and his fighters were destroyed “by order of Plotnitsky”, as “an order was given to clean up all the implacable commanders”.
After the death of Batman, his detachment was disbanded, and the closest associates were arrested. But, despite the fact that Bednov was declared the “General Prosecutor of the LPR” by a criminal, and the Batman’s GBR he headed by armed gang, his funeral was rather pompous.
