Death Prigogine: The popularity of Wagner's PEC remains a problem for Putin - WP

About it writes the American edition of Washington Post. According to the journalists, Memorials of Prigogine and other Wagner commanders who appeared in different cities, though not a national outflow of shock and grief, but show that the PEC's head is still loved. Moreover, his supporters are representatives of the maintenance circles with radical moods.

According to analysts Dmitry Kolzev, who left Russia after a full -scale invasion of Ukraine, he said that the Kremlin should now cope with the anger of Prigogine supporters, not to let them go to radical actions. "Prigogine, despite the statements about Putin's loyalty, threatened his regime and showed his weakness, for which he had an inevitable punishment. I think that the elites have understood this signal very well," he said.

The analyst noted that among the supporters of Prigogine there are people with combat experience, including the younger commanders of the Wagner PEC. We will remind that on August 28 propagandists "predicted a heart attack" arrested by General Surovikin. Former Ukrainian People's Deputy Igor Markov expressed his fears that after the death of Yevgeny Prigogin, in which he accused the West and Ukraine, resigned by the Army General may die.

American analysts also stated that the liquidation of Prigogine was more profitable by the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation than Putin. Experts do not exclude that in Russia they promote this idea in order to protect the Kremlin's head from the murder of the owner of the Wagner PEC and a predictable disbanding of a military company. In addition, Boris Johnson's former Prime Minister Boris Johnson said he was convinced that Putin was guilty of Prigogine's death.
