  1. #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."

  2. #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."

  3. #PMCWagner isn't just emulating #ErikPrince, he was asked to found them (more about that in my next post)...

    #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."

    Why can’t the West match Russia’s ammunition production? — Juicy target: Ukraine says it struck Russian electronics plant in Moscow — Ukrainian forces ‘gradually pushing back’ Russian troops from Sumy Oblast — Russia ‘lying to Trump,’ using peace talks to stall US sanctions … and more

  5. The latest #StayTuned with #PreetBharara podcast is excellent (once you get past his endorsement of #threads 🙄).

    His #russia expert guest #JoshuaYaffa reviews how the #RussianCoup came about, regarding #putin chef / #WagnerGroup leader #prigozhin and his history with and prior to #ukraine

    They discuss jailed reporter #EvanGershkovich & how YOU can send him a letter 🤩

    There’s no sign of the #Wagners because that was the deal.

    #Putin paid #Prigozhin in gold bars to stage a #FakeRebellion and then pretend that #Putin saved #Russia by vanquishing the #WagnerGroup.

    How is this not totally obvious? 🤔

  7. I suppose Prigozhin will mysteriously fall out of a window within the next few months....

    Admirable.

    The #US needs two #FridaysForFuture movements: one about the #ClimateCrisis, the other about #AssaultRifles.

    #AR15's and their likes do not belong in private ownership, they also do not belong in the hands of members of private armies, like the #WagnerGroup.

    Schools cannot be converted in fortresses or prisons.
