“Domino’s Pizza customers in Russia have complained about the cancellation of a promotion that offered free pizza for life to those who got a tattoo of the company’s logo. Angry customers are now demanding compensation.”
Truly, Russia and the West have more in common than either realise.
Edvard, I am going to give you my understanding of the context in which this mutiny took place. First of all, Wagner is the creation of the GRU and another Russian agency that is responsible for internal security. It was created specifically to get around the constitutional limits that make it challenging to deploy Russian military assets abroad. The way that was done was by creating a private company and installing Yevginy Prigozhin as the figurative head. I want to emphasise that Prigozhin is a civilian with no military experience. He has not and did not lead the Wagner troops in battle. He is a two time criminal from the epoch when the Soviet Union broke up. He leveraged his contacts and connections to make himself useful to those in power and developed friendship with those in power including Putin. It is false to think that Prigozhin thought up Wagner. In military terms, there is always someone who is or was part of the Russian military who organises and leads the Wagner forces in any situation where they have been involved. If you want to understand the vast difference in education of Russian military compared to those in most western countries including the US, look at the level of strategic planning, operational and tactical training. The US and UK among others are far inferior. Prigozhin doesn't have a scintilla of this training. Read Andrei Martyanov's books on this to better understand this. I have would also add that Wagner has been given access to some of the Russian military's most modern assets. In many ways it makes Wagner into the Russian equivalent of the French Foreign Legion.

Thank you very much for posting the link to the translation of your article on my blog.
This blog of mine is mainly addressed to Polish readers. I post various texts that I think are important and should be disseminated.
Among the various important content, I found a place for some of your publications. I would like to translate more of your articles, but my blog is not a place to make money, so for lack of time.... you understand.
However, since I was noticed by you, I would like to ask you to take a look at this text:
This is an introduction to the contents of a book forgotten by the Poles about the life in People's Poland in the first 25 years after World War II.
The book tells about all aspects of life in the new, socialist, reality at the Vistula River.
I would like to ask you for your feedback. And at the same time ask whether readers outside Poland, in your opinion, might be interested in reading such journalism.
Is there a good point for me to publish English translations of more chapters of this book?
Interesting that UNESCO would be involved with removing shrines from that particular Eastern Orthodox Church in Kiev,
as it appears to be a World Heritage Site. And as such, is a landmark or area with legal protection by an international convention administered by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization.
World Heritage Sites are designated by UNESCO for having cultural, historical, scientific or other forms of significance.
And interestingly enough Kiev is home to the following World Heritage sites “Kyiv: Saint-Sophia Cathedral and Related Monastic Buildings, Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra”, inscribed on the World Heritage List in 1990.
I'm an agnostic, but it's disgusting that historical artifacts are cavalierly destroyed or extracted for plunder everytime there's a military conflict throughout the planet. This was especially the case in the Middle East where ancient sites were obliterated and now it appears it will happen once again in Eastern Europe.
You say that he is going to reconstituted Wagner in Belarus. I'm sorry but you are wrong. What we are witnessing is the real owners of Wagner implementing the lessons learned from having a structure to this enterprise that gave the Russian military plausible deniability but not enable a loose cannon like Prigozhin to endanger it. Now they will clearly be under Russian military command which is a good thing. As for Prigozhin, difficult to see how he can reconstitute anything given that whatever organisation that he creates will no longer have access to Russian military assets nor its logistical support.
You were right Mr. Slawquat, the anti-terrorism law has been removed. I agree with JayTe's comment: Prigozhin is a creature of Russian oligarchs. In my opinion it is absolutely impossible to organize an operation like this with a few thousand soldiers, armored vehicles, anti-aircraft, trucks, without the central state being aware of it. Putin knew, Shoigu knew, everyone knew, it seems to me the only logical conclusion. This article from the youth section of the Russian Communist Workers' Party is one of the best explanations in my opinion, even if I disagree with some points.
"I bought a new computer this week, my first new one for over ten years. Generally, I don’t update operating systems and applications and so on. If the thing works, keep it as it is. Are you interested in this? Me neither. Point is, using the new system, with all the new apps, I note again how everything now becomes shit at lightspeed. I’ve never been much of a fan of the internet and personal computing and all that, but at least it served users. No longer. "
Do you have a suggestion for this? If you do, thanks, and thanks for reading.
When truth is in defizit, friends gather at the bar to speculate on where it has gone. I think that we are once again entering a deep dark forest, from which there will be no escape until we are shown the way.
Perhaps more time is needed on both sides for something big, likely on both home fronts. Perhaps the actors' anonymous homes in the Florida Keys are not ready yet.
So in my view what you have is a laughable attempt by Prigozhin to seize power. It is very likely that he has been following western media where Russia is a gas station masquerading as a country, Russia is incapable of building anything and the government is always on the brink of collapse. He has zero support among the political class, minimal support across the military and even within Wagner, I would imagine that the overwhelming majority of former Russian military don't support Prigozhin. I would assume that his support is primarily among those he pulled out of prison. As well, imagine Prigozhin meeting Xi Jingping or Modi. It is laughable. He is not even remotely on their level. He is not even remotely on Putin's level. Whether Prigozhin's delusion is due to spending too much time at the front in Artemovsk or just due to his ego, it was an amateurish attempt to raise his own profile. (Part 4 coming)
Many people have been acting as though it is only Wagner who have been doing anything in the SMO. This is patently false. We have the taking of Mariupol in which the Chechen troops played a leading role in conjunction with the Russian military. During the taking of Mariupol, we never heard any complaints about ammunition shortages. We did not have a running commentary of the taking of key parts of Mariupol by Kadyrov. Only steady progress until Azovstav was taken which completed the seizure of Mariupol. No single group tried to take credit. It was a team effort. In Arrtemovsk, we get a running commentary by Prigozhin where despite the fact that they were operating in conjunction with the Russian military as in Mariupol, Prigozhin sought to take credit for all the success uniquely for Wagner. That sort of behaviour was sure to create animosity in the Russian military ranks. And by embedding himself with the troops in Arrtemovsk, Prigozhin sought to give everyone the impression that he was leading the troops himself, which is just silly when one understands the level of training Russian military commanders receive as well as their experience to lead an urban warfare assault such as that in Artemovsk.

India will follow the US and Israel and protect Zelensky, until MI6 ends him. That litle alliance might make twenty nations think twice about applying to join BRICS. It would be better to have regional alliances. I don't see a Russia/China globalisation as preferable to a London/New Yourk model. Internationalism always creates empires and empires always harvest grief and death.
"Lula da Silva called for resolving the conflict [...] through the conclusion of peace agreements, taking into account the interests of both sides." Only a superhuman IQ would enable a person to issue this amazingly brilliant and insuperably constructive statement. Lula my hero.
"Moscow’s 'chief sanitary doctor' has officially canceled all COVID measures." But were there still in place some Covid measures? I flip out.
"Even more migrants." They're immigrants, Riley. "Migrants" as you well know is a WEF-promoted word to whitewash indiscriminate immigration. I'd feel very honoured if you told me why you help pushing the WEF semantics. So I politely ask you to.
"Poutine"? Ha, ha! These French! Is that mockery, or do they really spell it like that?
"The risks of new variants of the coronavirus emerging, which may be more easily transmitted or cause more severe illness, remain despite the end of global pandemic emergency, according to Anna Popova, the head of Rospotrebnadzor. [TASS]"
As long as people continue to believe in the mega fraud "Pandemic"/"COVID-19"/"SARS-Cov-2” narrative, folks everywhere will continue to be vulnerable to future PsyOps which Popova is practically serving on a platter. Cannot agree strongly enough with this statement by s "former journalist," quoted in the Planet Waves Substack blog's newest entry (today), it is just so profound: "I am losing patience with those who will not look at this truth and learn about it, and wanting to support people who are saying it, especially those who have a platform to reach many, as you do." This is particularly true in my case for all the "truthers" who are clinging with their fingernails to the fraud.
Karine has just released an interview on a Québec podcast (French speaking Canadian subjected to the Brit crown) which you might find interesting... Ok, you don't understand French. Maybe you could join her so that you'd get her point of view.
As to the 'Christian stuff' from yesterday it should be known that in French, we have to words for hope: espoir/espérance. The second one is used as a religious/spiritual concept. It's meaning goes further the just hoping. Keep espérance my friend, as well as most readers here.
Wouldn't surprise me to see the evil Western powers try to destabilize Belarus now with Prizoghin supposedly holed up there...and Russia also eager to pay back Prizoghin for daring to expose the weaknesses in the Russian brass poor Belarus could be hit by both sides

Ciao to everyone
So, according to Prigozhin, it was all just contract negotiations?
