Penalty for Vagnerov. How Putin's Horsemen work
In some Russian media, new heroes have appeared in recent days in recent days -" Russian Snakers "Wagner's private military company. They broadcast the Kremlin media, but there are several nuances that are worth paying attention to today.
"Wagnerivtsi" appeared in the information field not today, their bloody path began in the Donbass in 2014, found a continuation in Syria and Africa, where, for example, In 2018, a group of Russian journalists was destroyed, who made a film about the actions of PEC "Wagner". But right now, at the expense of the pardon, which was distributed by July 2022 by Russian prisoner Yevgeny Prigogine, Wagner PEC received a significant mobilization resource.
The number is estimated at 30 - 40 thousand, the tenth of which died in fierce battles in Ukraine. Therefore, in different cities of Russia open memorial plaques killed in Ukraine Criminals, one of the "Wagnerians" was buried in St. Petersburg on the Walk of Glory, despite the resistance of the local governor of Beglov. In fact, the Wagnets are increasingly reminiscent of the SS Nazi Germany troops, specifically, Dirlewanger's unit, formed mainly of criminals.
Russian official media are actively written about the "Wagnerians", thus creating them with new standards of social perception of their actions. Prigogine lays his own way to increase the impact on the situation not only through his own media imperia, but also the bodies of yesterday's prisoners. By the way, their families should not pay compensation in the event of death as Russian servicemen.
However, this resource is not limitless, and the military-political duo of Shoigu, Gerasimov, who runs the Russian army, feels a good threat and seeks to reduce the potential of Wagner, turning away the PEC units in the battles with the Armed Forces. It is significant that the activities of private military companies are not regulated by Russian law.
The reason is simple: the Kremlin saw the American PEC in Iraq and decided to create their own, "for special assignments" within Russia and in the post -Soviet space. Is it worth wondering that her curator and financier became Evgeny Prigogine - a former criminal criminal who enjoys Putin's trust? Putin's "cook", as often called Prigogine, is not only under sanctions from the US and the EU.
He demonstrates the Kremlin's support in "the fight against the Nazis in Ukraine" and publicly emphasized the readiness to intervene again in the case of elections in the United States and conducted an information operation of "Kuvalda for the European Parliament". "Wagnerivtsi" has been distinguished by particular cruelty in recent months.
Why did everyone forget about the castration of Ukrainian captives in Luhansk region? About the sledgehammer under the chamber of the former "Wagner", who visited the Ukrainian captivity? About destroyed settlements? Prigogine emphasizes that Wagner PEC has its own artillery, armored vehicles and aviation (and I will remind of the army of bots and trolls and my own film production).
Therefore, I will not surprise me if the screens of Russian cinemas, where no products from the event are not being found now, propaganda fighters from Prigoine will twist for students. The name of the latter - "Best in Hell" - is great for contemporary Russian information policy. Today we believe that Prigogine is a continuation of Putin's policy.
In fact, it is a practice of Peter, occupied by the local span, is broadcast throughout the world, because Prigogine works with the obvious permission of Putin. The Kremlin demonstrates that he wanted to sneeze in the rules of war, for "European conventions" and in general. Prigogine and his flock are a symbol of Russian state policy, an asymmetric reaction to the inability of the Russian Federation "to seize Kyiv in three days".
Yevgeny Prigogine transforms Russia into a country-chief of Russian by confirming that the Russian Federation is a failed state (a state that is incapable). The Ukrainian answer should be asymmetric: our task is not only the neutralization of the "Wagner", but also the maximum conveying of the world information about the criminal activity of their leaders and patrons.
