“ #HellsArmy”: New Film Tracks #Russia’s #WagnerGroup & Rise of #MercenaryArmies
June 12, 2026
"We speak with Oscar-nominated filmmaker #RickRowley about his new documentary, Hell’s Army. The film tracks the Wagner Group, the notorious Russian mercenary army that has fought in #Ukraine and other parts of the world. The group’s founder, #YevgenyPrigozhin, was a confidant to Putin until a failed 2023 mutiny against the government. He died in a suspicious plane crash two months later.
" 'We realized that he could be killed, the leader of this army could be killed, but its model continues,' says Rowley. 'Around the world, #oligarchs are turning to mercenary armies, and it’s a scourge that needs to be stopped.'
"Hell’s Army has its North American premiere Friday in Washington, D.C."

And two months later, #Prigozhin has reportedly died on a plane in the #Tver region in #Russia. There are even reports of anti-aircraft-missiles, that were fired on it. But even without them, nobody has any doubts, who's behind that. And I think, nobody is surprised, that this ended this way.
☝️ Nevertheless, here is my enormous thread from exactly two months ago.

CW: Violence
There seems to be a "civil" war in the Russian military brewing now, where Russian soldiers starting to execute Wagner sympathisers in their own ranks. I don't know about the degree of validity of this video, I could not confirm it.

It is totally possible that the USA Intelligence Services know a lot more than they divulge about the secret part of the deal between #Prigozhin and #Putin, and this knowledge makes them say that this was just the first chapter and more will follow.

Let's end this Megathread with some articles, shall we? But the most urgend questions still remains unanswered. We'll still have to wait. But I am sure, that the last word in this whole affair has not yet been spoken.
A Crisis Erupts in Russia
The Kremlin is accusing a Russian mercenary of an attempted coup—a stunning development that could change the course of the war in Ukraine.

"A senior U.S. official says it is a mystery as to why Yevgeny #Prigozhin stopped his march to #Moscow given that he was seemingly in a dominant position.
The official said he was greeted as a hero in #Rostov-on-Don. However, the senior official told ABC News that Prigozhin is in an "emotional state," and perhaps did it because he thought this would destroy Russia, or because he glimpsed his own end. It is impossible to tell whether Prigozhin thinks Russian President Vladimir #Putin will actually honor their deal which included allowing #Wagner group soldiers to be folded into the Russian military."

What is missing is the "private" part of the agreement that is under NDA. There is more to this story and it was more important for #Putin to look like he got what he needed than for #Prigozhin. We will see if some of the private stuff will be revealed eventually, since #Prigozhin was not very good keeping things to himself lately.

I'm sure Yevgeny Prigozhin knows what Novichok is.
He's going to need the antidote.

"Zygar cautioned that some of his sources were telling him that they were not yet sure that #Prigozhin had, in fact, retreated. Despite the advantages of modern communications, Russian political life remains enigmatic."

"I always said that #Prigozhin knew #Putin’s psychology very well, but I did not realise how well. Now he got away with 13 pilots killed and 6 helicopters shot down. What is the response of the Russian army? It’s silence."

Was macht #Putin eigentlich? Jetzt wo dieser "#Coup" vorbei ist, sollte es ja kein Problem sein, sich öffentlich zu erkennen zu geben.
Oder steckt bei der ganzen Sache noch mehr dahinter?

Oh, that's news: According to the #Kremlin, #Prigozhin will leave #Russia heading to #Belarus. The charges against him will be dropped and it seems like #Wagner will be disbanded. Nothing regarding the Ministry of Defense, against which Prigozhin rallied so hard.

"The fact that armored columns under the command of a declared 'traitor' were able to reach within 200km of Moscow in just 24 hours with the combined efforts of MoD, Rosgvardia, MVD and FSB not being able to stop them is a very significant sign of how weak the system has become."
