Putin's chef, "Until attitudes improve the beatings will continue"

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Yevgeny Prigozhin, the Russian billionaire and founder of the ‘Wagner Mercenary Group’, has been an influential actor during these eight months of the Ukraine War on the side of the Russians.

Not only has he bolstered Russia’s army in Ukraine with mercenaries, but he has also repeatedly sided with the camp of Putin’s inner circle that has called for escalating the conflict, Bloomberg reports.

Now he has called for punishing members of the Russian elites who are not enthusiastic enough about the Ukraine War.

‘Stalinist Repressions’

In recent comments, Prigozhin has called for enacting ‘Stalinist Repressions’ on Russian business tycoons and others who are not supportive of the war campaign in Ukraine.

3. The ghost of Stalin has returned to Russia.

Putin and his inner circle are going to drive everyone out of Russia.

4. There's gonna be a civil war in Russia, I think.

Putin and his Chef are going to jumpstart it. And there won't be a army left to save them.

6. It sounds worse by the day. Putin is tearing Russia apart.

From the top oligarchs down to Ivan in the street.

I read that the Russian economy is going to be in free fall soon.

All the men who fled the country are no longer working, productivity will be low.
Putin needs to get them back in the country asap.

Which won't happen.

I don't know how this ends.

5. Prigozhin the next Russian President?

Heard someone from Lithuania who follows the Kremlin suggest that possibility today. He also has "troll farms" that he says have meddled in U.S. elections, though some are skeptical.

We shouldn’t take Prigozhin’s admission of US election interference at face value

7. His recent comments sound like he is positioning himself as powerful player in Moscow.

Not a promising outlook for the people of Russia.
