In Russia, not only the security forces, but also the private military received a “license” for violence companies such as PMC “Wagner”. This trend eloquently speaks of the darkness Russia is moving into.

The corresponding opinion was expressed by Roman Anin, editor of the Internet publication Important Stories. According to him, Vladimir Putin did “unique” things for Russia, depriving the state of its monopoly on power.

Prigozhin has a very big claim to power in Russia

“Today, the license for violence in Russia belongs not only to law enforcement agencies or the army, but to all kinds of PMCs. This is what says a lot more about the future of Russia than the fall in GDP,” – the journalist said.

As Roman Anin noted, today in Russia the “protagonist” is a man who not so long ago raped and robbed women – the owner of the PMC “Wagner” Yevgeny Prigozhin.

Today, the “protagonist” of the Russian wars is Yevgeny Prigozhin, who is in charge of tens of thousands of military men – sadists and “convicts”. This man in the past hunted by strangling women and tearing off their gold earrings. He is on trial for fraud, robbery and involvement of minors in criminal activities,” the journalist said.

He also added that today Prigozhin has a very big claim to power in Russia, and Putin's cook is also on good terms with Ramzan Kadyrov “and this says more about the future of Russia than various numbers and statistics.”

What influence does Prigozhin have on the war in Ukraine

• Prigozhin is one of the closest Russian oligarchs to Vladimir Putin. In Ukraine, Prigozhin is responsible for the section of the Bakhmut-Soledar front, where many Wagnerites are fighting.
• The owner of the PMC “Wagner” has repeatedly criticized the military leadership of Russia and entered into an “alliance” with the former commander of the occupying forces, Sergei Surovikin.
• But recently, Valery Gerasimov, whom the Wagnerites and Prigozhin himself were strongly criticized, became the new commander of the Russians.
• Not everyone in the Kremlin favors Prigozhin. This mainly concerns military and political leaders. Moscow fears because of the political ambitions of the oligarch.
• In the battles near Bakhmut and Soledar, the Wagnerites suffer heavy losses, in particular, the Ukrainian Defense Forces have already neutralized almost 14,000 mercenaries. However, it is important for Prigozhin to demonstrate “victory” for Putin, so he sends his mercenaries to their deaths.
