Yevgeny Prigozhin, the darkish horse of Russian politics

ROME, March 21, 2023 /CNW/ — The Milton Friedman Institute for Investigation in Economics (Italy) posted a examine on March 20th about a new, rising style of opposition in the Russian political establishment as the conflict in Ukraine drags on and tensions in society grow.

“New general public figures with an ambiguous standing, but completely ready to challenge the incumbent authorities, are attaining strength in just Russia’s political arena. Until eventually a short while ago, even thinking of this was not possible – the fate of Alexei Navalny is the most striking case in point of this,” the research claims. This investigation focuses on Yevgeny Prigozhin, greater recognized as the operator of the Wagner private military, whose multibillion dollar prosperity, a extensive media empire and its paramilitary corporation enables him to do the remarkable. Neither Khodorkovsky, nor Berezovsky, nor other oligarchs of Yeltsin’s period had these a mixture of economical, armed service and media assets concurrently.

The review refers to a script of a video clip showcasing Prigozhin, whom he himself dispersed on Russian social networks at the beginning of the calendar year and exactly where the businessman’s political ambitions can be traced evidently:

“… the Wagner non-public army should really turn from a merely personal corporation, the planet‘s greatest, thoughts you, military, capable of defending the state, it will convert into an military with an ideology. The ideology is preventing for justice!”, stated the head of Russia’s Wagner mercenary forces in a video published over the weekend of 11 and 12th March, as also noted by Reuters.

Moreover, his overt criticism of the prime brass of Russia’s Defence Ministry, politicians and federal government officers, is straight or indirectly in sync with the programs declared by the United states to reform Russia both equally politically and in worldwide relations.

The review states that Prigozhin can not become a significant rival to Vladimir Putin at the up coming presidential elections, if they are held tomorrow. Nonetheless, the armed service failures, the weakening financial state, and, as a consequence, a slipping ranking of the incumbent president, can open good options for him.
