Propagandists are displeased with Putin's decision to let Prigozhin go

Meanwhile in Russia: even the obedient state TV propagandists were flabbergasted by Putin's decision to let Yevgeny Prigozhin stay alive, much less to walk free after committing his mini-mutiny.

Who will pay Prigozhin now?

Prigozhin's private army existed thanks to Putin's dirty money.

For the money from selling oil, gas, timber, metals, gold and other resources of Russia to the West and to the East.

Yesterday,  Russian media reported that during searches in the offices of the PMCs,  colossal amounts of cash were found - 4 billion rubles, (about $50  million).

Prigozhin immediately admitted that this was money of  the PMC and that it was intended for paying the so-called "coffin" money  - payments to the relatives of killed mercenaries.

"Wagner PMC  has existed for 10 years using cash only. When we were working in  Africa, in Ukraine and in other countries, when America was a nightmare,  everyone was satisfied with cash. And now they came with searches,"  Prigozhing commented.

Let's talk about the dirty economy of Wagner PMC.

Using  simple arithmetic calculations, multiplying the declared number of  mercenaries in the PMC - 50,000 people, by their average payment for a  bloody contract - RUB 240,000, we get the amount of $150 million a  month. And this amount does not include any other costs for the  maintenance of Prigogzhin's private army.

According to my rough  estimates, maintaining a private Wagner army cost Putin between $250  million and $350 million in cash per month.

It is possible that  one of the reasons that prompted Prigozhin to revolt against Putin was  the conflict over the verification of how he spent more than $2 billion  received from Putin and his oligarchs during the 15 months of war.

We  still do not know the reasons why Prigozhin stopped his march on Moscow  by his mercenaries. Neither he, nor Putin, nor Lukashenko made a single  public statement after the talks.

But I have several questions:

1.  Will Putin, after Prigozhin's rebellion, finance his PMC in the same  way as before? I highly doubt it! And if not, then where will Prigozhin  get $250 million per month to maintain PMCs?

2. Will Prigozhin  now be provided with shells, cartridges, missiles - after his  mercenaries shot down helicopters and a Russian plane yesterday with the  same missiles? I don't think so!

3. Will the  Russian military, who until this moment idolized Prigozhin as a real  military leader, forgive him the Russian pilots and officers killed by  him? I think that he lost their trust, both after the murders and after a  cheap provocation about the alleged shelling of the rear camp of the  PMC, staged by Prigozhin himself as a pretext for rebellion.

4.  How will Prigozhin withstand the powerful blow of Kremlin propaganda?  Already last night it was clearly visible how quickly and clearly the  position of Kremlin propaganda in relation to the Wagner PMC has  changed. From yesterday's heroes, they quickly began to turn into  traitors, rebels, and murderers of valiant pilots. A few more weeks and  instead of Prigozhin and his accomplices, instead of the Wagnerites  "heroes of Russia", propaganda will show them as a bunch of scoundrels,  rebels and murderers - which, in fact, they are.

Therefore, future events look obvious to me - yesterday Prigozhin lost his chance to seize power in Russia.

There  will most likely not be a second campaign against Moscow, since Wagner  PMC will slowly collapse through a gradual reduction in funding for  salaries to mercenaries, through contradictions between those who are  100% loyal to Prigozhin and who feel deceived and thrown into the  furnace of the ambitions of the bloody Bakhmut butcher.

And Ukraine only benefited from this failed rebellion, as fascist Russia became even weaker - and that's good news!

So, the main "hero" of the day is Lukashenko - the savior of Russia.

No one saw or heard anything from Shoigu and Gerasimov today.

Putin looked cowardly and pathetic.

I can't wait to hear the propagandists tomorrow. How will they explain all this?

Prigozhin says it's over:

"They were going to dismantle PMC Wagner. We came out on 23 June to the March of Justice. In a day, we walked to nearly 200km away from Moscow. In this time, we did not spill a single drop of blood of our fighters. Now, the moment has come when blood may spill. That?s why, understanding the responsibility for spilling Russian blood on one of the sides, we are turning back our convoys and going back to field camps according to the plan."

A tentative deal was supposedly reached, state media reports.

.
Lukashenko reported he conducted negotiations with Prigozhin on Putin's request.

Prigozhin allegedly accepted Lukashenko's offer to stop movement of Wagner's mercenaries and take further steps to de-escalate tension - Pul Pervogo Telegram channel:

"At the moment, there is an absolutely advantageous and acceptable option of the denouement of the situation on the table, with security guarantees for the Wagner PMC fighters.
As previously reported, also during today the President of Belarus held two meetings with the security bloc of the country on the situation," reported on Telegram channel, close to Lukashenko's press service.

?This is a serious blow to the authority of the country, and to the authority of the president... So this is a very bad symptom" - Russian propagandists allow themselves to be critical towards Putin.

Top Russian propagandist Vladimir Solovyov was shaken but relieved by the conclusion of Yevgeny Prigozhin's whirlwind mutiny. He called for more internal repressions, as well as intensified strikes against Ukraine and beyond, using Wagner fighters.

Propagandist Vladimir Solovyov was disturbed by the gross vulnerabilities Prigozhin's attempted coup had revealed. He is already planning for when ? not if ? something like this happens again, rattled by the realization that Russia was totally unprepared.

I agree fully, naming back russia as Moscovia is putting history right. Kyvian/UKraine-Rus is the motherland, not Moscovia the fatherland. Moscow was founded by Kyiv in 1147, while Kyiv itself dates from 482....Map of Poland and Hungary by Sebastian Munster, 1540. The map shows ?Russia? for Ukraine, ?Russia Alba? for Belarus, while the Moscow Princedom is called ?Moscovia.?

"The coup was being prepared for eight months and all of Prigozhin's publicity was aimed at preparing it" - GULAGU NET

GULAGU NET published a list of the National Guard, Federal Security Service and Ministry of Defence of the Russian Federation units that have partially or fully moved over to Prigozhin's side.

A description of what is happening was also provided:

This special operation was being prepared and developed over a period of more than eight months. Surovikin and Alexeyev not only knew but were also involved and verbally instructed some commanders not to offer armed resistance. That is why they were urgently taken under control and forced to make a video-recorded appeal addressed to Prigozhin. Later, when taking over the headquarters of the Southern Military District of the MoD, Alexeyev uttered an important phrase to Prigozhin's demand of giving them Chief of the General Staff Gerasimov: "Yes, take him away". They were ready to hand over their commander (superior officers) to the rebels. This is a fact of betrayal, a decision on which is about to be made.

This special operation involved former commanders and fighters of the Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, 2nd and 15th GRU brigades of Wagner PMC (under the command of Utkin), who had previously participated in special operations on the territory of foreign countries, primarily to capture customs posts, communication points, local army units and strategic weapons.

Formally, Yevgeny Prigozhin himself was at the headquarters of the Southern Military District of the MoD, and did not physically move from there, holding talks with the Deputy Minister of Defense and giving orders to detain or capture anything, unlike Utkin, Kuznetsov and other PMC commanders, and neither Putin, nor Peskov promised them immunity and non-prosecution. By the end of the year, they will be detained or liquidated.

Complete disappointment in Prigozhin:

Yesterday, convicts from Russian Storm Z unit publicly supported Prigozhin's march on Moscow.

One day later, they recorded another video. This time, Storm Z accused Prigozhin of turning around and halting his march.

The greatest challenge to Russian President Vladimir Putin since he came to power in 1999 fizzled out after rebellious mercenary commander Yevgeny Prigozhin abruptly reached a deal with the Kremlin, brokered by Belarus, and retreated just a day after ordering his troops to march on Moscow.
