Men's conspiracy: Prigogine and Girkin create a paramilitary structure that threatens Putin - isw

In the new report, analytics write that a war criminal and terrorist Igor Girkin-Strelkov is engaged in recruiting in this structure. "Girkin is a stubborn critic of the Russian Higher Military Command and a noticeable figure among Russian ultradranationalists who participated in the annexation of Crimea or the illegal seizure of Russia by the Ukrainian territory in Donbass in 2014," the report reads.

Analysts also stated that it is Yevgeny Prigogine who can afford to control a parallel army without control from above. It occupies a unique position in the Russian system of government and information space. Its electorate in Russia is expanding. "Prigogine can freely advertise himself and his strength, while criticizing the Kremlin officials or the armed forces of Russia, without fear of resistance.

Putin depends on Wagner's forces in Bakhmut and probably tries to calm the Prigogine," the report reads. It is reported that Prigogine only benefits from the fact that he does not officially occupy any state posts in the Russian Federation. It is not covered by a large bureaucratic work. Also, according to experts, Prigogine has already managed to distance himself from the head of Chechnya Ramzan Kadyrov. It is assumed that the latter has begun to lose influence.

Moreover, it can even lose control of the Chechen Republic. Earlier, Focus wrote that Putin continues to lose allies and partners in Europe. The publication writes that even those who hinted at the legitimacy of the annexation of the Crimea Peninsula in 2014 are now on the side of Ukraine. It was also reported that Russia wants to blame Ukraine of nuclear terrorism.
