http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/jul/18/separatist-links-malaysia-airlines-mh17-removedExcerpt:
Russian separatist groups in eastern Ukraine are hastily covering up all links to the Buk missile battery suspected to have been used to shoot down the Malaysia Airlines passenger plane, according to western-based defence and intelligence specialists. Postings on rebel websites immediately after the crash boasted of having shot down what they claimed was an Antonov Ukrainian military transport plane, but these have been deleted.
Video footage allegedly taken on Thursday appeared to support the idea that pro-Russia separatists had been to blame. It showed a Buk battery seemingly being moved in the rebel-held area between Snizhne and Torez close to the crash site. A still picture allegedly shows a missile in vertical launch mode beside a supermarket in Torez. However, the location has still to be established.
Lets see: Deleted tweets, deleted audio, deleted interviews. Blocking the crash site to obstruct investigation. http://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/jul/18/mh17-crash-pro-russia-rebels-block-access-ukraine
And this particular video after disaster, showing BUK missile system heading for Russia border, deep in rebel controlled territory.

That is that the Ukrainians shot down the Boeing, but the Antonov that Strelkov was gleeful about and which later he recanted really was shot down. It crashed around Krasnyi Luch--which is even deeper in rebel-held territory.
And let's not forget the version where Strelkov was merely confused. He said maybe it was a fighter that was shot down. So they go back to the non-existent Spanish flight controller and say they shot down one of the two fighters and the other fighter downed the Boeing. They failed to protect the civilians from the nasty Nazis!
Or that the Boeing was actually shot by the Ukr forces a 100 miles to the West, and it coasted or glided ("there are people who know how to do this" and crashed in rebel-held territory to frame the rebels.
The versions go on and on and on. Either they were set up to down it, tricked and duped by the wily Jewish fascists, or they didn't actually down that plane but the "fascists" did.
I don't blame Pushilin for quitting. Or maybe he just dissented and was purged. Hard to know. The DPR and LPR have already had two (count them, two, in three months!) purges.
