It's completely normal for people to join in conflicts where they sympathise with one side or the other, even if their country is not in the war. It happens all the time.

I.e. Finnish Winter War as you know, Civil war in Spain,various volunteers and partisans in the second world war. EU citizens of Moslem origin who fight with.

It's just individuals following their heart and passion irregardless of what their country thinks. No doubt some individual Russians are there fighting, but not in an official capacity representing the Russian state.l
Yes, I'm sure it's just innocent passion only. Girkin admitted he was in the FSB until 2013 and was a retired Colonel. If you can't see the conflict of interest and problem there....But, why do I bother replying to you. LOL.
