The self-proclaimed National Republican Army is supported by the exiled former Russian politician Ilya Ponomarev, who has a claim to fame as the only Duma member to have voted against the annexation of Crimea back in 2014.
I. Ponomarev had started living in Kyiv from 2016.

In the video content produced by Утро Февраля, there are extensive references to armed 'Free Russia Forces' that would have been trained and equipped inside Ukraine.
The supporters of this movement use the white-blue-white tricolour flag to represent a free Russia.

It is far to early to tell whether this 'National Republican Army' is as advertised, let alone any of its characteristics. They have promised more actions. It seems reasonable to judge a tree by its fruits.
Certainly, I wouldn't mind more explosions.
Time will tell.

PS: Meanwhile, because this could be not as advertised, or as advertised but a failure, it is essential to:
1- Keep calm and #ArmUkraineNow
2- Support Ukraine economically
3- Crunch the RUS economy
4- Treat RUS diplomats with adequate contempt
5- And #visabanforrussians
