The private militia of Russia's new contender for the throne - Break the Fake - TVP World



The man once known as “Putin’s chef” is leveraging his position as de facto warlord to build his own power base in Russia – a halo of supporters that could propel him all the way to commander in chief.

Thanks for posting this. Its good information, and I’m glad the story is getting out. It’s important that we pay attention to Prigozhin. Scary to think that Russia post-Putin could easily be worse than with him, but this guy is all over the world already, funded largely by gold mining in Africa among other things, so maybe he doesn’t even need to own the Russian government. Note “the chef’s” role in internet manipulation of US, and other, social movements and elections. Heck, he admitted to interfering in our election. So the urgent question is, can this transnational cancer be stopped?

If somehow Navalny can be installed as the commander in chief for a free and democratic Russia.
