“ #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."

The most dangerous moment in dealing with the Kremlin is when #Putin opens his mouth.
He guaranteed #Prigozhin’s safety weeks before blowing him out of the sky; promised Ukraine peace days before attacking.

#Russian #CoastGuard boat flying Wagner flag spotted near Estonia
#Estonia suggested that the display of a symbol of the mercenary group that rebelled against the Kremlin two years ago “confirms the fact that #Russia's ‘iron’ system is fracturing” as a result of the war in #Ukraine and Western pressure.

@SocraticEthics #Trump is protecting #Russian assets in the #UnitedStates because he saw what happened to fellow #Putin puppet Yevgheny #Prigozhin when he was no longer useful. ☠️

@PotMetPetunias @Powerfromspace1 ‘Mediator’? 😂
#Russians know what #Lukashenko is. There can only be ONE ‘strong man’ in any dictatorship.
And #Prigozhin learned in his last moments that you can’t trust a #dictator. Even if you *were* his favorite cook! 😂

"Bots"
A short film
It's a slice of life in a fictitious #trollfarm modeled after #Russia's Internet Research Agency
Lots of sly little details
Like when the woman boss character mentions "The Chef" (#Prigozhin was a chef, and ran the IRA, but he was long dead by the time of the details in this film)

So, hubby just reminded me that things did NOT end well with #Prigozhin and the #WagnerGroup . Apparently, they complained about not getting enough weapons in their attacks against #Ukraine, and Putin had a plane containing most of them (including Prigozhin) taken down! Oooops!

#Blackwater Founder #ErikPrince Talks About Wagner, War, and More
By Greg Chabot, July 24, 2022
"After the success of this program [Blackwater], Prince was approached by officials in Russia asking for his help to start up a PMC. Prince turned down the generous offer that he says could have made him a billionaire. The #PMC nevertheless formed, he says, and is known as the #Wagner Group."

#Putin’s “Erik Prince” is tied to some of #Russia’s riskiest covert operations
By Greg Walters, February 21, 2018
Excerpt: "In #Syria, a mysterious private military firm called PMC Wagner has been tied to #Prigozhin. The firm is sometimes described as the Russian #Blackwater in reference to the U.S. private military contractor founded by Erik Prince, a likeness Prigozhin appears to be emulating, according to Nance."

@fulelo So #TrumpRussia relations are a ‘roller-coaster’, sorta like the orchestrated friend-foe dynamics between #Prigozhin and #Putin. 🤔 Got it!

When #Trump was near #bankruptcy
Trump was approached by the #Russian #mafia who financed him
In return Trump through the #Deutschen #Bank
(whose director of the time was arrested and tried and who now works for the #Malta central bank)
washed dirty money for the Russian mafia.
This is the 'kompromat' that tied Trump to #Putin will
Then Putin proposed to Trump to enter politics
by promising support through 'Disinformation factories'
(#Prigozhin internet troll organization)
You know the rest. -

Russian General #Surovikin spotted in #Algeria
Things began to improve for him after #Prigozhin’s death: first he was released from arrest, then he was given at least some kind of formal position, removing him from real decision-making.
Since the invasion of Ukraine began, at least 12 Russian military commanders have been removed from their positions, The Washington Post writes. Some of them were fired for critical mistakes, others after criticizing the Russian high command or complaining

Laut staatlicher russischer Nachrichtenagentur #Tass ist ein Privatflugzeug von Jewgeni #Prigoschin heute nördlich von Moskau abgestürzt. Laut Tass habe die Flugbehörde angegeben, Prigoschin selbst sei auf der Passagierliste gestanden. Die Flugbehörde habe Ermittlungen aufgenommen.
Die staatl Nachrichtenagentur #RiaNovosti wiederum berichtet von acht geborgenen Leichen.
Der staatliche russische TV-Sender #Rossiya24 meldet, der Chef der Söldnergruppe Wagner sei verstorben. Analysten halten diese Aussage für verfrüht.
Unabhängige Berichte vom Absturzort gibt es bislang gar keine. Alle Meldungen stammen von Staatsmedien und sind mit Vorsicht zu behandeln.

Wagner Chief Says Russia’s Invasion of Ukraine Unjustified -
Russia did not face an imminent security threat to justify its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Yevgeny #Prigozhin, the founder of Russia’s #Wagner mercenary outfit, said in a bombshell video posted on social media Friday.
“The Armed Forces of Ukraine were not going to attack Russia with the NATO bloc,” Prigozhin explained in the half-hour tirade released by his press service.
“The Russian Defense Ministry is #deceiving the public and the president,” he added.
