IN HIS WORDS
Wagner opens a second front.” Evgeny Prigozhin is 62 years old and he is launching a new project
What is the future of Yevgeny Prigozhin? And why is the FBI offering a reward for his arrest?
On June 1, Evgeny Prigozhin turns 62 years old. How will the famous Wagner PMC commander celebrate his birthday? Probably on the road. At least, he spent all the previous days that way.
A few days before his birthday, Yevgeny Prigozhin went on a big trip around Russia. He visited Yekaterinburg, Novosibirsk, Vladivostok with the presentation of his new project “PMC. Wagner. Second Front.”
The second front is, as he explains himself, the information front.
Andrey Kovalev: Give Prigozhin half a million fighters, and he will take Kyiv
This means that bright statements, conflicts with the leadership and incredible media activity are expected. As always with Prigogine.
Prigozhin is the best newsmaker of the front. And now, apparently, he is taking on a new role and new responsibilities.
They are for him, however, not entirely new, but more even old.
Of course, Yevgeny Prigozhin is best known as the commander of the Wagner PMC, but he is no less famous commander of the information war .
Information PMCs
In the information business, Prigozhin also, one might say, created his own PMC. And in the media space of Russia, and, what is even more interesting – in other countries.
Today, many online publications, Telegram channels, and other media are included in the Patriot media holding, the Media Factory, and other structures associated with Prigozhin.
He was directly related to the release of the films “Shugaley”, “Tourist”, “Rzhev”, “Sunshine”.
He was accused in the West of creating a “troll factory” (“Internet Research Agency”).
U.S. Special Counsel Robert Mueller accused the agency and Prigozhin himself of interfering in the 2016 and 2018 U.S. presidential elections.
A year ago, a $10 million reward was announced in the United States for information about 12 agency employees, including Prigogine. The FBI is offering a $250,000 reward for helping to arrest him.
Prigogine himself refers to this with humor.
Yes, more. Could you have come up with a better advertisement for it? Prigogine is the man who chooses US presidents!
Even if this is not true, Yevgeny Prigozhin should be pleased. It’s in his style and in his character.
“There is no need to divide the army.” Military expert on why Prigozhin “pulls the blanket over himself”
troublemaker
Such is the social role of Yevgeny Prigozhin – “troublemaker”. A prominent media figure. A person who cuts the truth in the forehead, regardless of titles and positions.
I must say that there is a lot of work behind this, and not just talk. Prigogine is an incredibly energetic person, a powerful organizer.
But of course, he was not personally in charge of Wagner. He did not develop military plans, trained, provided weapons and fire support.
Yes, “Wagnera” – a heroic assault squad. And no one reduces the role of Prigogine. She is huge. But still, this role is more media than military.
Other commanders fought and led, including, first of all, the General Staff and the Russian army. This is quite obvious, since no PMC can hold the front and cannot do anything without the support of aviation, air defense, and artillery. No Bakhmut would have been possible without a common front.
Incredible assault qualities of the detachment – yes, unconditional. But their victories are also a consequence of the fact that the “Wagners” have a short leverage of decisions. Decisions are often made by the commander of the assault group on the battlefield. He requests artillery, air defense. Without waiting for an answer from the General Staff, without approvals and reports. This is an experience that must be urgently implemented in the army. But how? Experts and military correspondents report that other structures similar to Wagner are preparing and are already ready to adopt this experience.
Interestingly, at press conferences in Vladivostok, Novosibirsk, Yekaterinburg, Prigozhin appeared in ordinary clothes: jeans, a sweater, a jacket. No camouflage, not even a hint of a military uniform, in which we are accustomed to seeing him lately.
Prigogine begins a completely new chapter.
But next to him, in the hall, were fighters from Wagner, many of whose faces were hidden. Groups of “Wagners” that had just left the front were switched on via video link.
War is near. But a second front is opening.
“Offices of War”
Prigozhin is famous as a sharp critic of the army leadership and conditional “oligarchs from Rublyovka”.
There will be conflicts. And in particular, because the status of PMCs in general and Wagner in particular is not entirely clear. Because of this, extremely acute, conflict situations arise. Like the story in Verkhnyaya Pyshma, Sverdlovsk region, where the military registration and enlistment office refused military honors to the widow of the deceased.
Stories with a burial in a cemetery in St. Petersburg, in the Krasnodar Territory. All these conflicts are due to the fact that PMC fighters have no state status. And it needs to be changed.
A soldier is a soldier who died for the Motherland – even more so. How can they be divided into “classes”?
The issue of benefits for Wagner fighters is another point of contention that needs to be urgently resolved.
Yevgeny Prigozhin is a sharp, conflicted person. And yet very popular.
This is a dangerous combination for any representative of authority. This is exactly how Prigogine is perceived. As a very dangerous person for the bureaucracy of any level and any department.
He is such a person. These are the “offices of war”. And he went to towns and villages not to be friends with everyone and spend “patriotic subbotniks”.
Prigogine’s theses
The theses of his last speeches are as follows: the war will be long, general mobilization is needed, and a transition to a planned economy is necessary.
What does it take to win in SVO? The mobilization of two million men, good command of the army and strict discipline, especially in terms of punishment for deserters.
The country must be placed under martial law. Stop building beautiful bridges and theaters, direct all forces to defense. Otherwise, Russia will return to the 90s, when all the enterprises and subsoil of our country in the blink of an eye began to belong to foreign investors.
Those who imposed sanctions on us will only treat us well on one condition. They will say, come, kneel, bow your heads. Then they will forgive us. We don’t kneel. So there will be a long war.
At the same time, Prigozhin denies that he has plans to create his own party or run as a candidate for the presidency of Russia.

What is the future of Prigogine?
Let’s turn to astrology.
What is the character of Evgeny Prigogine? His birth horoscope will tell you this quite accurately.
Mars in Leo.
A rebellious, daring, recklessly brave man. Focused on the perfect. Like any Leo, even if Mars is in this sign, and not the Sun.
Jupiter square Neptune.
Man is constantly in search of his ideal. Flashy, emotional. May show strange carelessness in legal matters, in which case there will be problems of a legal nature.
Around such a person – rumors and gossip. Destroyer of authorities, not always fair.
War with the authorities (Jupiter) can be a deception, a “smoke screen” (Neptune).
Pluto Opposition Chiron.
Difficult character. He will constantly oppose his original thinking to society. This is a very large original. At the same time, a person has tremendous willpower. He knows how to “see”, even sometimes – the other world.
Has the gift of hypnosis. It can have a connection with the subtle world and receive information from there. In ordinary life, we call this intuition.
This aspect means “voluntary loneliness,” or a part of society will reject a person.
Good acting skills. The gift of crowd control.
Aware of his great mission. For the sake of the Great Task, he can sacrifice a lot, both in his life and in the lives of other people.
Can be a very successful teacher. And even for representatives of the whole generation.
The aspect is double. You can become an antihero. Can become a dictator. Or maybe – a savior and defender of the weak and oppressed, and on a global scale.
His horoscope is extremely interesting built into the astrological map of Russia. He has a great future, together with Russia.
How does Prigogine himself talk about his future? As usual, simply and without pathos.
“I got involved, and it’s impossible to quit.”
So, ahead – a new front. And it is impossible to say exactly who we will see Yevgeny Prigozhin in the future.
But it is unlikely that this is the president and “successor,” as the yellow press hints. It is hardly even a deputy or a senator. Prigozhin is not disingenuous when he says that he is not going to create a party.
This is a person “out of structure.” Just like outside the structure of his famous Wagner. But he found his political role. As a “troublemaker,” he will be very successful for a long time.
As a bright media figure, he will maintain his weight for a very long time. He does not aspire to positions and titles
