Blogger’s Note: Richard Wagner (1813-1883) – the famous German composer of Classical music – was also a notorious anti-Semite who is considered one of the primary ideological influences upon the thinking of Adolf Hitler! Just ‘why’ a Russian State engaged in a battle with a Neo-Nazi State (Ukraine) would allow a ‘private’ (Mercenary) military group to operate under this name is beyond me! Is it because many people in contemporary Russian society ‘share’ the racist, homophobic and misogynistic attitudes that are common in Ukraine? It makes you wonder why Russia is bothering to fight a neighbour with whom it shares virtually every attitude! Is it the need to balance irreconcilable opposites? Whatever the case, Russia nearly became ‘Russia PMC’! Of Prigozhin’s many complaints is that whilst starving his men of ammunition in Bakhmut – the Russian State allowed upwards of a 1000 Wagner men a day to be killed and wounded! ACW (24.6.2023)

MOSCOW, June 24 (Xinhua) — Russian President Vladimir Putin on Saturday ordered the Russian Armed Forces to neutralize those who organized the armed rebellion of the Wagner private military group.
“Any internal turmoil is a deadly threat to our statehood, to us as a nation. This is a blow to Russia, to our people. And our actions to protect the motherland from such a threat will be tough,” Putin said in a televised address to the nation.
“All those who deliberately embarked on the path of betrayal, who prepared an armed rebellion, who embarked on the path of blackmail and terrorist methods, will suffer inevitable punishment and answer both before the law and before our people,” he said.
“I urge those who are being dragged into this crime not to make a fatal and tragic mistake, but to make the only right choice — to stop participating in criminal acts,” Putin said.
Russia’s National Anti-terrorism Committee announced on Saturday that a counter-terrorist operation regime has been introduced in Moscow city, the Moscow region and the Voronezh region to prevent possible terrorist acts, after the Wagner private military group was accused of trying to organize an armed rebellion.
