The irony of Prigozhin talking about "de-Nazification" ... The White Power Mercenaries Fighting For the Lost Cause Around the World "But the Wagner operatives left more than boobytraps. They also spray-painted swastikas and SS lightning bolts as graffiti wherever they went. Nazi symbols are popular among the mercenaries; in Ukraine in April, a leader of Task Force Rusich, a Wagner subsidiary, was videotaped wearing the Valknot and Tatenkoph of the 3rd SS Panzer Division. Wagner itself is named after the notoriously antisemitic German composer, whose operas famously made Hitler weep. According to the group’s origin story, a former Spetsnaz (Soviet special forces) soldier named Dmitry Utkin used “Wagner” as his callsign while fighting in the Donbass region in eastern Ukraine in 2014. Utkin, who many consider Wagner’s operational commander, has tattoos of Nazi “SS” epaulets along his collar bones. Many founding members of Wagner also belong to the ultra-nationalist and white supremacist group known as the Russian Imperial Movement, which the U.S. State Department has declared a terrorist organization."

@itsjustthemo I already know that tankie's take. Something along the lines of: "a western-backed operation to destabilize Russia & widen the conflict to the benefit of the military-industrial complex, blah, blah, blah..."

@phildickturenne8450 also a very interesting take from Konstantin on his "inside Russia" channel from a few days ago.
