Three doubles of the state security general

How Prigogine instilled a love for doppelgängers




The money from Oboronservis, which billionaire Sergei Amelin regularly received under government contracts, went offshore through duplicate companies. The network of such front companies, tied to the Stroyimpuls empire, was controlled by a group of “lawyers” together with an employee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Mikhail Vatanin, the current eminence grise of Yevgeny Prigozhin’s business empire. In the summer, he headed the security service of the leader of the PMC Wagner; after his death, he remained in the position and began to control the heir, Pavel Prigozhin. Vatanin recently left his post, but retained influence on both the Security Council and Pavel. Continuing the investigation of Rucriminal.info.



Back in the 2000s, Vatanin was involved in camouflage and counterintelligence for Stroyimpuls employees. At that time, the still active police officer, on the instructions of his senior comrades, created a legend (new documents, passports, entries in house books, etc.) for Amelin’s and then Prigozhin’s fighters. His most successful work is the double of the son of one of the founders of the construction company, General Alexander Vasilyevich Semchenkov. This man is well known not only as the head of the State Security Veterans Foundation, but also as a close associate of the all-powerful Anatoly Kurkov, Putin’s former boss, who headed the KGB of Leningrad and the region.

One “double” of Semchenkov Alexander Alexandrovich was “hidden” in Vatanin’s apartment at the address of St. Petersburg, John Reed... Another “double” of Semchenkov Alexander Alexandrovich was also registered there, although he was born in a different year. The man was found in the village of Nikolskoye, Kostroma region, in 2005, in the 70th police department of the Nevsky district, he was given a new passport with St. Petersburg registration, and they led him by hand to register companies for him. All in order to launder money from the defense industry or, for example, withdraw millions of loans. Take, for example, the process between JSCB Lanta-Bank and Stroyimpuls DSK LLC. The court was unable to prove that the line of credit for 8 million rubles was issued under a collateral agreement, which was concluded by “senior Semchenkov,” because “Semchenkov Jr.,” as the founder, did not give consent to this. As a result, dozens of such agreements were terminated, and no one wanted to argue with the son of a KGB general and the most powerful structure of state security veterans.



And Semchenkovs No. 1 and No. 2 have a huge number of such companies. Over time, “double” No. 3 also registered in the apartment on John Reed-8.

As Rucriminal.info found out, in 2008, for his success in camouflaging and controlling the KGB-Amelin network, Mikhail Vatanin also acquired his own piece of the empire in the form of Stroyimpuls DSK-3. Admission to the “family” was under the patronage of the general’s son, with whom the then policeman and criminal investigation officer became friends against the backdrop of a common passion for martial arts. Moreover, many of Semchenko’s veterans of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, FSB, Defense Ministry and GRU vouched for the opera, which successfully controlled the Security Council of such a serious structure. By that time, half of them already formed the backbone of the future Wagner PMC under the leadership of Prigozhin.



Respect and a step to the top had to be earned, and brotherhood had to be sealed with blood. What sensitive tasks did Mikhail Vatanin perform, and who else did the future head of the Wagner security service shelter in one of his apartments? Read on to continue the investigation.

Death of Prigogine. Chronicle.

How the leader of the mercenaries was eliminated



On August 23, a private plane was blown up, in which the leader of the mercenaries from the Wagner PMC, Yevgeny Prigozhin, and his closest associates, Dmitry Utkin and Yevgeny Chekalov, could be. Chronicle of events on the site Rucriminal.info from the telegram channel of the Cheka-OGPU.

A VChK-OGPU source reports that during the flight of Prigozhin's plane, two explosions sounded in the sky.

“There were two explosions in the sky. The wing and stabilizer fell at the Kuzhenkino station, and the fuselage and wing fell on the village of Kuzhenkino, two kilometers from the former farm. Initially, a version arose that Prigozhin's plane was shot down by two S-300 missiles. S300PS stands nearby.



Prigogine's jet was flying over the Tver region in upper airspace and was not in touch with the local flight control center. Jet did not communicate with the Tver services in any way and did not give any signals, all control came from Moscow. The head of the department learned about the emergency only when employees of the Ministry of Emergency Situations arrived at the scene and "from the ground" confirmed the discovery of the crash. The explosion on board occurred not far from Putin's residence in Valdai and directly above the missile storage depots of military unit 554443, which is guarded by air defense.



At 18:20 a card came that Prigozhin's board had disappeared from the radar.

18:32 - the plane exploded in the sky. There were two explosions. The wing and stabilizer fell at the Kuzhenkino station, and the fuselage fell on the village of Kuzhenkino, two kilometers from the former farm.





A source working on the spot told the Cheka-OGPU what Prigozhin's crashed plane looked like.



“The infrastructure was not damaged, the tail fell off in one settlement, everything else in another. The wing also fell off, we don’t know yet what and where.

Three people, pilots, are torn to pieces, to pieces. The rest are in the tail section. Four bodies were “picked open”, and then it is still not clear. The plane burned out completely. Only the frontal part, windows and a piece of hardware remained, and a piece of the engine is lying on one wing. Everything else burned out. There is no other wing with an engine.”

An eyewitness confirmed to the Cheka-OGPU that before the crash of Prigozhin's plane, two explosions sounded in the sky, similar to rocket fire.

“Two shots. When I heard the first explosion, I just raised my head and watched the sparks fly.

The first "exhaust" (pop), it began to smoke a second time, when there was already an explosion, apparently, the engine had already begun to explode. And I see that it flies with such propellers, barrels. And as soon as he ran and he fell.

A special lamp was placed in the field, the inspection of the crash site of Prigozhin's jet continues

Prigogine had something to fear.

A VChK-OGPU source said that Prigozhin's hasty departure to Africa and his rapid return were due to the fact that under the leadership of the Deputy Head of the GRU - Head of the Special Activities Service Andrei Averyanov, a set of measures was being developed to completely replace the Wagner PMC contingent in Africa. It was planned to create and train an army corps of more than 20 thousand people. Prigogine was extremely opposed to this and made every effort to prevent it.

Andrey Averyanov is known for such GRU operations as the poisoning of Sergei and Yulia Skripal in Salisbury, the explosion at a warehouse in Vrbetica in the Czech Republic, and the poisoning of the Bulgarian arms dealer Yemelyan Gebrev.

Later, a version arose that the plane was not shot down by air defense, but it burst into the air. The first was an IED explosion on board the aircraft. And the second - the engine has already exploded.

The topic of the bomb on board Prigozhin's plane was promoted more and more actively. Allegedly, evidence appeared that at the very last moment a certain gift in the form of a box of expensive wine was loaded on board. And now they are working out the version that there could be a bomb in this box. The plane itself (before loading the box) was carefully examined, including with dogs.

Rosaviatsia announced the list of passengers of the Embraer - 135 (EBM-135BJ) aircraft:



Propustin Sergey

Makaryan Evgeniy

Totmin Alexander

Chekalov Valeriy

Utkin Dmitry

Matuseev Nikolay

Prigozhin Evgeniy

Crew members:

Levshin Aleksei, commander;

Karimov Rustam, co-pilot;

Raspopova Kristina, flight attendant.



Among the dead was another deputy Prigozhin for PMC Wagner Valery Chekalov, who, among other things, was responsible for the work of the security service. Prigozhin's "right hand" Dmitry Utkin also died.

One of the law enforcement officers who is at the crash site of Prigozhin's plane described the crash site as follows: "Several corpses without heads, inside, away from the cockpit, dust from the bodies."

A source of the Cheka-OGPU reports that the stewardess of the crashed plane is the sister of the deputy prosecutor of one of the cities of the Chelyabinsk region. He explained that Kristina Raspopova (pictured in the same jet that was blown up today) flew to Moscow a couple of days ago, where she was waiting for a flight to St. Petersburg. Yesterday, on Wednesday, they called up and the woman said that the team was waiting for an important call, they say, to fly "today or tomorrow." In addition, according to the flight attendant, the plane was being repaired before departure.

Relatives of the flight attendant Prigogine Kristin oh Raspopova, with reference to the words of the girl, spoke about strange manipulations with the plane before the last flight. It was taken away for some short-term and incomprehensible repairs.



As the Dossier Center found out, the passengers of Prigozhin’s plane are two of his closest associates and veterans of the Wagner campaign in Syria.

The Federal Air Transport Agency has published a list of passengers who were allegedly on board the crashed plane of Yevgeny Prigozhin. We found out who they were.

Valery Chekalov is one of the Concorde managers closest to Prigogine. He oversaw all of Prigozhin's "civilian" projects abroad and was responsible for the logistical support of the Wagner group. It was Chekalov who headed Neva JSC, the founder of Euro Polis LLC, to which all Syrian and African projects were tied

Dmitry Utkin. Prigozhin's right hand in the Wagner PMC. Responsible for command and combat training.

Yevgeny Makaryan, call sign "Makar". Former precinct. He joined Wagner in March 2016. He was part of the fourth Wagner assault detachment in Syria, which came under fire from American aircraft near Khsham in January 2017.

Sergey Propustin, call sign "Kedr", ensign. He joined Wagner in March 2015. He fought in the second reconnaissance and assault detachment. Prigozhin recruited many personal guards from there.

Alexander Totmin, callsign "Tot".

Nikolay Matuseev. We could not find a person with that name on the Wagner lists. But there is Nikolai Matusevich. At Wagner since January 2017. He served as a shooter in the fourth assault detachment in Syria.

Meanwhile, Prigozhin's wife Lyubov continues her long-planned vacation in India, says a Dossier source familiar with the family.

We do not know whether the information about the death of Yevgeny Prigozhin and Dmitry Utkin can be trusted. But if it is confirmed, it will mean that fewer and fewer people remain alive who are familiar with the circumstances of the murder of Russian journalists in the Central African Republic in 2019. We appeal to the employees of Prigozhin's "Company": if you know any details of the crime in the Central African Republic, contact the "Dossier" Center and tell your story. We will not be in debt.

A source of the Cheka-OGPU said that only in the morning did the inspection of the crash site of Prigozhin's plane and the bodies of the dead begin. There are two reasons. First, the explosives worked. Secondly, they were waiting for the arrival of employees of the Central Administration of the FSB and the TFR from Moscow. Now work has begun. After examining the remains, they will be taken to the morgue in Tver, where an identification attempt will be made in the morning. For the official identification of most of the remains, a DNA procedure will be required.

The evolution of executions in PMC Wagner

“Prigozhin has a video on his phone where the “raider” was skinned alive”

Correspondents of Rucriminal.info talked with sources, in front of whom the ideology and types of executions were changing in Wagner PMC. We present this story with small cuts:

“PMC “Wagner” went through a number of military conflicts, completely different in nature, so the changes within “Wagner” were constant.

In order to come to an understanding of the topic of torture and executions of Wagner, first you need to understand the key difference between this PMC and other PMCs in the world. If all armies and PMCs try to avoid frontal attacks involving large assault groups, then for Wagner this is just about the main feature.



Start: Syria

The first large-scale campaign of the Musicians was Syria.

The main enemy in Syria was initially "foreign": Dmitry Utkin laid down his primary, understandable majority of the first fighters, a nationalist philosophy: "we are Slavs, Russians, whites." It wasn't exactly racist, but there were racial overtones, of course. And in Syria itself, the local population was generally not perceived very well: the Assad soldiers were distinguished by cowardice and far from the best training, they could betray for many reasons, the opposition also did not suffer from humanism, but ISIS completely turned executions into a form of "torture art" with beautiful shots and non-trivial plots.

At that time, Wagner was still taking shape and looking for himself: even the 500th in Syria were treated rather mildly - they were simply thrown into unloading and loading operations, using them as loaders. Efficiency was at the forefront even then, but even in heavy assaults, they usually lost somewhere around 10% of people.

And then there were a lot of Cossacks among the Musicians - specific people in the war, more ostentatious. Since there was enough free time in Syria, and the hostilities were not of the total nature of artillery and other hunting for each other, somehow imperceptibly for everyone, a habit appeared to bring the severed heads of "ISIS" - at first they even paid for them. Not much, just a few dollars, now it's hard to even remember. The practice of paying had to be stopped, because they began to carry a lot of heads: no one would understand by the bearded head whether the ISIS fighter was really finished off, or it was just someone who got under the arm. The locals still didn't like it.

But the sledgehammer first began to be used even then, but it was used against Assad deserters. They were conditionally "Assad": they had their own groups, which had their own commanders and themselves were more like PMCs (only of the Syrian spill, that is, more of an orgband).

Wagner, nevertheless, was a mercenary structure, which means that in addition to the army's simplicity and effectiveness, the emphasis is on rituals and other demonstration methods. And with sledgehammers they often beat the deserters of Assad.

With the ISIS, everything was much tougher, because they tortured the prisoners harshly and always. Accordingly, they, too (as well as sympathizers, those involved and suspects) were mocked as they wanted - creativity was allowed and at least not punished. In addition, the availability of free time contributed, which is already there.



Donbass

The atmosphere in the Donbass was like this: complete chaos, chaos and looting, disguised as a war. Even then it was obvious that it was looting and their own systems of "judicial trials" that corrupted even good and intelligent fighters. As for the cruelty itself, the Donbass could give odds even to Syria: cruelty here often took the form of manic sadism, which everyone was engaged in.

At the same time, torture remained the simplest and most effective way to obtain information. On the whole, in Wagner, such entertainment of individual fighters was looked through with fingers, although they were never encouraged. The more hostilities there were, the more efficiency was manifested - to finish off or shoot faster, but not to waste time and energy. Those who cycled on violence and torture, as a rule, either did not differ in zeal in battle, or died quickly enough themselves.

A new phenomenon that has taken on a large scale is the real-life torture video market. There was a black market, there was a movement. Video buyers were different - from consumer goods to those who bought "exclusives": sometimes they even ordered a form of execution and torture. As soon as the authorities realized that the morale was not getting better from this, the activities of the Musicians were quietly stopped.

Systematically, torture and executions were brought under the jurisdiction of the Musicians' security guards. And with a sledgehammer they began to “tap” on their deserters.

Donbass also brought a culture of the criminal world and banditry. By the way, the military and security officers turned out to be quite weak in the face of this challenge: the criminal culture (despised, it seems, as they do) weakened them from the inside, transferring goals from really combative to mercantile ones.

Ukraine - big war

The beginning of the war was chaotic and very similar to what was already in the Donbass, but very quickly this war became completely different.

Russia lost the ideological battle before February 24, because the local population in the cities it occupied did not feel much sympathy for the Russians and directed art at everything that it could lead to.

In Syria, there was no partisanship on such a scale: the Russians did not like the locals, they did not like the Russians, but they were afraid and acted mainly at night. A few even collective farm. On the territory of Ukraine it was different.

The military began to solve the problem simply: they shot the locals on the slightest suspicion, interrogated them fully, harshly. And they miscalculated: these are not Arabs, here instead of fear you get frenzy and anger in response.

When a mass recruitment of criminals began in Wagner, discipline was generally screwed up to a level that had never been born in an ordinary army.

At the peak of recruitment from the zones in Wagner, they shot their five hundredths, refuseniks and daring ones in much larger numbers than they shot prisoners. Looting and rape are taboo, because where a marauder or a rapist is born. fighter dies.

Inside the Musicians, various executions are already a full-fledged kind of folklore. Prigozhin has a video on his phone where the hijacker was skinned alive and put under a drip to suffer longer. He showed this video many times - to show what will happen if you kill the commander. It was for criminals, but in general - a working thing.

There were sophisticated executions and torture, but as soon as they received evidence in the form of videos, etc., each time it turned into problems. Yes, and Isis, with its cinematic approach to executions, laid its foundation - perhaps it was after them that for some time there was a fashion for "originality".

“Veterans” of Muzykants say that the level of cruelty in torture also depended on the tightness of the intersection with other units - this is like an option to “measure pussy” in a military environment, who is cooler and tougher in implementing the execution. Now the Wagners operate mostly on their own, which also does not contribute to the "spirit of competition" in sophistication.

Stories about original executions are circulating, but where is the truth and where is folklore - you can’t figure it out. From the "classics" of the early Donbass - cutting the stomachs and pouring salt into it, tying hands to the exhaust of a tank, cutting off teeth with a file, chopping off hands and feet and leaving them to die, "roasting on a spit", castration, and, of course, cutting off heads. Of the especially perverted methods - the accurate passage of bath shadows through the body and switching on for heating, partial burning (they bind, pour gasoline on the brush or feet, set fire to it).

Each new stage of the war made its own adjustments, but on the whole, Wagner clearly followed the path of discipline. The main type of execution inside the structure is execution, a sledgehammer is exotic, a symbol. Well, what exactly is used by the security guards during the inquiry - only they know about it. Because those who came to them for a tough interrogation will not tell anything, and in such cases the bodies are usually burned.

"I am Putin's last hope and support"

Seeing 200 coffins, convicts recruited by the PMC Wagner rushed to run. shot



A source of the VChK-OGPU telegram channel said that out of 270 prisoners from one of the Bashkir colonies recruited by the Wagner PMC, 30 people are still alive. "Such an indicator quite accurately reflects the number of losses of prisoners - a little more than 10% survive," the source said.



As Rucriminal.info found out, on January 6, 2023, another batch of convicts for PMC Wagner was taken from PKU IK-16 in the city of Salavat of the Federal Penitentiary Service for the Republic of Bashkortostan. This time only about 20 people were taken.

According to the source, around the beginning of October 2022, in IK-16 in the city of Salavat, all convicts are lined up on the parade ground of the institution. About 1500 people. The turnout on the parade ground was 100%. We were taken out of ShIZO and OSUON. Evgeny Prigozhin flew in by helicopter. About the visit of Prigozhin for recruitment in the so-called. PMC Wagner convicts knew in advance. About a week later, the exact date was given to the prisoners. And about 2 months approximate date. Also, in about a week, they closed the rooms for long and short visits, stopped issuing parcels and parcels, and turned off Zone Telecom. Which didn't make any sense. The last time the payphone was turned off in the colony was in October 2021, during the days when a riot broke out in the colony.

Evgeny Prigozhin, accompanied by strong men, entered the colony, where 1,500 convicts were waiting for him on the parade ground, almost the entire leadership of the Federal Penitentiary Service for the Republic of Bashkortostan, headed by Vladislav Vladimirovich Dzyuba (head of the Federal Penitentiary Service), and almost all employees of IK-16, headed by Bagautdinov Ruslan Salimyanovich (head IR). Dziuba and Bagautdinov stood at attention in front of Prigogine. They knew that now the real "owner" is Prigogine.

Approximately 3 months before the events described, the colonel of the operational department of the Federal Penitentiary Service for the Republic of Bashkortostan, Anastasia Evgenievna Salkovskaya, confidently told convicts in another colony that "not a single prisoner will leave her council."

And now Prigozhin stands in front of 1,500 convicts in colony IK-16. They were all looking forward to it. They want to look at him and listen to his formidable speech. Before them is their path to freedom. He came to free them, to pay them money. And in return they will serve 6 months, participating in the "SVO". And it's not scary. After all, according to RenTV, there are almost no losses.

According to a Rucriminal.info source, Yevgeny Prigozhin began his story by saying that PMC Wagner is the most combat-ready military unit. The army is losing and he, Prigozhin, is "Putin's last hope and support." He also added that World War 3 is now underway. And this war will last another 10 years.

Further, he promised to pay a salary of 100 thousand rubles a month in cash. He said that in all major cities there are cash points for Wagner PMC fighters. Relatives can receive them. Another surcharge for "combat".

In general, he promised good money and set him free in 6 months with the removal of a criminal record. He also added that if in the future the pardoned (amnestied) commit another crime and they are imprisoned, he will come for them again. After all, the war is long. And they need fighters among the prisoners. It is better that it was 10 years ahead of the term and 10 years behind. This is an ideal candidate for Wagner PMC.

As for the loss of personnel, Prigogine said that only 15% die. So the chances of survival are still great.

In every colony there are convicts who have not found a common language with the administration and they need to be disposed of. These prisoners allow themselves too much. Some rights are being downloaded. They don't have rights. So it is necessary to create such conditions for a short time for these convicts, so that they voluntarily-compulsorily dumped them into this PMC and this war.

In IK-16, employees perform this task 100%.

But there are also prisoners with whom the administration has very good and trusting relations. And some of them want to leave too. They begin to persuade them not to go to war. In addition, it is necessary that the promka work. And without prisoners, the prom will not work. Not willing to hire workers.

As a result, out of about 600 convicts who wanted to join the Wagner PMC, about 300 went.

On October 23, 2022, all of them were transported in paddy wagons to the airport in Ufa, where a military transport plane, which had just arrived from the Rostov region, was waiting for them.

At the Ufa airport, zinc coffins with the bodies of the dead are being unloaded from the plane. There are about 200 coffins in total. All this is seen by the prisoners who have just left the walls of the colony of Bashkiria.

Convicts who decided to go to war from the colony IK-7 in Meleuz (strict, multi-way), IK-2 in Salavat (strict, first-timers), IK-16 in Salavat (strict, first-timers), IK-4. Salavat (special), IK-21 Sterlitamak (general, second-timers), IK-8 Sterlitamak (strict, first-timers, former employees), IK-13 Ufa (general, first-timers), IK-3 Ufa (strict, multi-passes), IK-9 Ufa (strict, multi-passes).

They all see 200 coffins of the dead and begin to understand that the stories on the RenTV channel and Prigozhin's speeches have nothing to do with reality, they all go to the meat grinder.

According to the source Rucriminal.info, two start to panic and try to escape. But they didn't get far. Shot on the spot. They didn't even run after them. This is how the military path of the prisoners from Bashkiria began.

In IK-16 in the city of Salavat at this time, visiting rooms are still not working and payphones are turned off. And so it will continue until November 7th. Why it was necessary to make the prisoners suffer until November 7 is unclear. What prevented everything from turning on and opening on October 24? Nothing interfered.

On November 7, the "Zone. Telecom" is turned on, long and short visits are opened, and parcels and parcels are allowed to be received. Two weeks of incomprehensible suffering and everything returned to its place. Those who left for the war were quickly forgotten and continued to serve their sentences in the same order.

At the end of December 2022, a recruiter from Wagner PMC came to the colony again. Suddenly. Nobody was waiting for him. This time without 100% turnout of convicts. Who wants to go, he goes. Many were no longer interested. Yes, and the administration was not interested in anyone leaving for the war. This time without a helicopter and without all the show-offs. And this is no longer Prigogine. The speaker has no charisma. The crowd didn't listen to him. Everyone knows and understands that he is lying. Namely, he says that those who were previously recruited will soon go home, and they need to be replaced by someone. And he came for this replacement. A discussion begins with the prisoners. One prisoner asks how many percent of those who left this zone for the war remained alive. His question puzzled the speaker. With that, he stopped his speech and everyone dispersed. As I wrote at the beginning, only about 20 people left.

Nobody wants to die!

"Skinning - for killing commanders"

PMC "Wagner" does not even have the concept of "too big losses"




Correspondents of the VChK-OGPU telegram channel and Rucriminal.info, on condition of anonymity, talked with a PMC fighter Wagner, who spoke about what types of “executions” are practiced in this private army and for what they are cracking down on fighters. And also about the ideology of PMCs and about relations with representatives of the Ministry of Defense.

“The most common execution is the usual execution. Not because it is humane, but because it is pragmatic and most convenient. They can be shot for being greedy with instructors, refusing to follow orders, for looting, alcohol, cigarettes, rape, etc.

But this is precisely an execution, while they can simply "punish": shoot a leg, break a leg, give a very dangerous task...

For sledgehammering, you need a big flight - specifically betrayal. More talk about it. There were talks about how, for betraying one’s own, they squandered their belly on the tees for the sauna and turned them on ...

Similarly - skinning and a dropper for killing commanders.

As a "kind" type of execution, it is an unambiguously fatal task, where it is basically impossible to survive: storming positions to the stop; reconnaissance in combat without a chance to return, etc. It cannot be said that this is a regulated execution, but it has become a kind of tradition when a fighter is given a chance for a normal funeral and payments to the family.

An attempt to present PMC "Wagner" as a structure of armed criminals is a pure myth. Not only that: inside the PMC it is not particularly important where you come from - from the army or from the zone. The principle is the same for everyone: your old life has remained "there", and in "Wagner" you start from scratch.

The attitude of "musicians" to the RF Armed Forces often varies between negative and strongly negative, but this is not some kind of jealousy. The question is deeper: service in the army has its own psychology, which is fundamentally different from the psychology that reigns in Wagner. For example, the military has an ineradicable habit of working for a report, sharpening for formalism, etc.

The military may think about retreat, and the "musicians" these thoughts are cut out by illustrative examples of what awaits you for surrender.

The only ones who are treated very differently are newcomers, especially stormtroopers. If a fighter lasts at least a couple of weeks or even a week, then his chances of surviving are very, very much increased. But the key word here is "if". The whole task is to put the beginner in the frame, and then he will either be fired upon, or ... there are always new beginners. The main percentage of losses goes to them.

Another reason for hostility towards the military is that the Musicians are thrown to "put out fires" where the military refused, failed or filonyat. If there is a question of efficiency, then there can be no question of losses, this is also the difference from the military, which, at the risk of large losses, can abandon the task. Wagner does not even have the concept of "too big losses" if there is a fundamental task. Nobody will persuade.

Another fundamental difference with the military is the control system. Here they choose their own commanders, they themselves form units. The reverse side is the responsibility for each other's popadalov. If the unit runs, then the commander can bang. And if some of your “get on skis”, then they will ask you as an accomplice, even if you did not run away.

At the same time, one of the options for execution is that you can simply agree to go into irrevocable, die and atone for everything with blood. Then the family is entitled to all payments, and to the deceased - the evacuation of the body and all the honors. But if you are shot or even executed (there are options here, not just a sledgehammer) - no body, no payments.

"Customer" - a high-ranking person "

How Yevgeny Prigozhin "hacked" the family of Sergei Lavrov

The photograph with Yevgeny Prigozhin laying flowers at the grave of Alexander Romanovsky in Peterhof is a real godsend for the journalist. If you greatly enlarge the photo, then on Prigozhin's T-shirt you can see ... TWO Stars of the Hero. In the summer, everyone wondered whether or not they gave Prigogine one Star by a closed order. The Kremlin did not refute, Prigozhin was silent. And here immediately Two Stars. However, sources say that the second Star is the Star of the Hero of the DPR.

No less than two Hero Stars on Prigozhin's T-shirt, the man who accompanies Yevgeny is also interesting. Sources of the telegram channel of the Cheka-OGPU confidently identified him as Alexander Grigoryevich Maloletko - Prigozhin's "right hand". Maloletko is the protagonist of the criminal case on the hacking of messengers and the phone of Alexander Vinokurov, the son-in-law of Sergey Lavrov. However, as it turns out, not the main one.



We got acquainted with the verdict of Maloletko dated December 2021 and found such interesting testimony there (the verdict is impersonal, we inserted the missing names) . “Further on the same day, he called Maloletko and told him that the number number .. belongs to Alexander Vinokurov, who is the son-in-law of someone from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation. In response to this information, Maloletko explained that he knew who owns the number number, namely Alexander Vinokurov, and also said that there was nothing wrong with obtaining the data of the indicated subscriber, since the “customer” is also a high-ranking person and has great connections.



And let's guess together what kind of high-ranking "customer" with "great connections" who really dislikes Lavrov and ordered Maloletko to hack the messengers of the son-in-law of the Foreign Minister?



However, the investigation did not begin to look for the customer, but so cleverly formulated what happened: "Maloletko ... out of selfish interest, under circumstances not established by the investigation, acted as the organizer of the crime and financed it." Prigozhin's "right hand" was sentenced to a fine of 50,000 rubles to the state.

Given the period of Maloletko's detention, he was completely released from serving a sentence in the form of a fine.

The verdict also took into account the fact that Maloletko was awarded three Orders of Courage. To this we can add the "Cross of Military Valor", received in the Central African Republic.



Prigozhin, according to the Cheka-OGPU, was not interrogated in the case.
