The threat of a new rebellion in the Russian Federation: the Kremlin and security forces try to prevent new "speeches" - the media

According to journalists, Prigogine left a legacy in the form of units with combat experience in Ukraine, Africa and the Middle East. Special services of the Russian Federation are already trying to prevent speeches similar to the Wagner PEC in June. The Kremlin leadership suggests that, despite the physical elimination of the leader of the mercenaries Yevgeny Prigogine, the threat of a new military rebellion in the Russian Federation has not disappeared.

About it writes The Moscow Times with reference to sources close to the Kremlin in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. It is noted that the special services of the Russian Federation are already working to avoid the repetition of speeches similar to the one that was arranged by mercenaries with Wagner PEC in June. Armored vehicles, which stopped only 200 km from Moscow, made an unforgettable impression on Russian President Vladimir Putin, which has been in power for over two decades.

Prigogine, in addition to challenging the army leadership, personally did not obey the presidential order. He was recognized as a threat of the regime, four sources of journalists close to Kremlin officials reported. Prigogine left behind a legacy in the form of military units that have combat experience in Ukraine, the African continent and the Middle East. This is added to media resources, telegrams and political technologists.

The existence of the Prigoginsky PEC in this form is not in the interests of the Kremlin: paramilitary formation will be disbanded. According to the International Crisis Group analyst Oleg Ignatov, many mercenaries are convinced that Prigogine's murder is involved, and the leadership of the Kremlin regime cannot ignore such risks.

Two days after the murder of Prigogine, the Kremlin chairman issued a decree that the Wagnerivtsi should swear allegiance to the state flag to defend the current "constitutional order". Putin seeks to strengthen control over PEC so that there is no crisis, Seskuria, a researcher of London United Service Institute, says Seskuria, a researcher. Among the supporters of Prigogine may be those who will not swear allegiance, the interlocutor believes.

"It can potentially create problems for Putin in the long run," he explained. Recall that Lukashenko warned Prigogine about the attempt, trying to look independent of the Kremlin. This opinion was expressed by ISW analysts in the summary of August 25. It was also reported that the representative of the State Duma of the Russian Federation stated that Wagner PEC would cease to exist.
