The video after that he decided to do the group on his own. “Then I flew to one of the landfills and started it myself. He cleaned the old weapon himself, dealt with the bulletproof vests and found experts who were able to help me. From that moment on May 1, 2014, a group of patriots was born, which was later called Wagner BTG, ”the oligarch said.
