INSIDE STORIES

Verbal battles, cursing with officials and defending interests in the public field: why should this be treated normally? In the feedback bot, questions are often asked about our attitude to the verbal battles between the owner of the Wagner PMC, Yevgeny Prigozhin, and the Ministry of Defense, individual officials and other persons who fell into his field of vision. The most popular formulation looks like this: “How are such disputes and even open confrontation in the public field possible?” For some reason, many believe that this is categorically unacceptable (and many, on the contrary, believe that this is normal). ▪️Evgeny Viktorovich today has become one of the main media actors of the SVO: moreover, after the capture of Soledar, the number of Prigozhin's public appearances has increased manifold. He himself explains (https://t.me/Prigozhin_hat/2721) this is quite simple: on February 24, 2022, he stopped being a businessman and devoted himself to the leadership of Wagner PMC. ▪️Being a private individual and not being an official, Prigozhin can — and must, as an adequate leader — speak out publicly (https://t.me/Prigozhin_hat/2706), defend the interests of himself and his people, as he sees fit. As a private trader, he does not need to observe courtesy and subordination - the main thing is to achieve results. ▪️Yes, no doubt, publicly raising the topic of shell hunger is an extremely uncomfortable topic for the object of criticism in the face of the Ministry of Defense. And it also gives rise to the speculation of the enemy. But in the current conditions, this is almost the only way to quickly solve the problems of the front. ▪️Drawing attention to the actual problems of the front is a double-edged sword. We have repeatedly witnessed videos from the front from the mobilized who do not want to fight and are trying to put commanders in a bad light. Such videos are happily picked up by foreign media agents and Ukrainian publics. And the worst thing is that you have to react to these videos. ▪️ In the case of Prigogine, the situation is still somewhat different: yes, there is a passing solution of some of our own problems. In addition, he uses his media influence to strike at the "bureaucrats" (https://t.me/Prigozhin_hat/2721) - those who do nothing worthwhile not only for victory, but also for Russian society. Of course, such "cases" help him earn the sympathy of the audience. Someone doesn't like it. And what, someone from the TOP-10 media people in Russia is still doing this? Did not see. ▪️But they saw how the whole color of the domestic Telegram arranged a media safari (https://t.me/RVvoenkor/39154) for Shoigu's son-in-law. For some reason, everyone considered it their duty to speak out about the half-blogger, who has nothing to do with the RF Armed Forces. There are enough such wise lovers of Ukraine and porn on the Internet - take at least the Russian "golden youth". What, everyone needs to spend time? You can’t put a scarf on every mouth. In the huge list of problems in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, the sex toy (https://t.me/grey_zone/17382) of Ksenia Shoigu is not even in the top ten. 🔻 Drawing attention to the urgent problems of the front is not only the right, but also the duty of commanders. If we are talking about private traders - and the status of PMCs has not yet been settled in our country - they can solve problems only within the framework of behind-the-scenes agreements and public outcry. It's just reasonable. There is an opinion that the transfer of the problems of the front to the public field harms the interests of the RF Armed Forces and attracts unnecessary attention from the enemy and foreign agents. That's just the fact that in this way it is possible to save the lives of military personnel (and civilians as well), a multiple outweighs the reputational risks for the Russian Defense Ministry. #analysis #Russia #Ukraine @rybar
