Analysts note that the faction of security forces increases its influence in the Kremlin every day, promoting its personal interests in the Russian Federation and in the occupied territories of Ukraine. In his report, ISW cited an example of recent events, which featured the head of the Wagner PEC Yevgeny Prigogin.
Experts reminded that the oligarch not only opened large -scale recruitment points in the Kursk and Belgorod regions, but also began to create a defensive line in the regions with Ukraine. Prigogine, according to ISW, tries to strengthen his power base in Russia, focused on Wagner, while undermining the only Russian operations in occupied Ukrainian territories.
Separate analysts are given as an example of Chechnya Kadyrov's chairman, who is part of a faction of security forces, who tries to get opportunities for personal business against the background of Russian invasion of Ukraine. "Kadyrov and his field commanders develop business networks in the occupied territories. Kadyrov behaves according to Prigogine, advertising his conscription and loosening the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.
Journalists often ask Prigogine about his ambitions about the Kremlin, showing that he created in society an idea of his possible arrival to power. Such discussions diverge with Putin's positioning as the only viable leader for Russia for decades, " report. It is worth noting that at the end of October, the Washington Post wrote about the growth of the influence of Yevgeny Prigogine in the Kremlin.
