ROFL!
 
 

I guess you can't make this up, can you?
 
 

Wagners have big popularity among Russians, especially among teens and young people. Wagners media skillfully created aureola of "tough, but brave and fair warriors" led by successful businessman, which directly says sharp true, using obscent lexic. On background of fails, rigidity and total corruption of Putin's officials, created caste neo-feudalism, Prigozhyn managment system, directing for maximum effectiveness and creation of social lifts for all, who proved own effect in team work, considers as "story of success" and it just fasionable. Enough of people, even who position themeselves as "liberals" willingly buy different merch with Wagner attributes and images of Prigozyn (on t-shirts, for example).
Also Prigozhyn, who was convicted has popularity also because he stick to so-called "poniatiya" (in Russian jail slang is means "notions" - very tough codex of criminal life). For the nation with very big number of people, who were convicted, where even among teens is very popular convicts sub-cilture A.U.E. his behavior and his "criminal code of honor" is very close and more corresponds to notions of justice than official authotities. 
He also attractive for older (and younger) people, following to left ideas, due to his sharp anti-oligarch rhetoric (though he is oligarch himself) 
Putin's regime is failing in expectation of Russians, willing "tough ruling hand" and "we can repeat", so when new strong "alfa-male" appeared on horizon, many Russians will be glad to piss off their old "alfa-idol"  

Imagine being a dictator of a nuclear armed country and having this pitiful joke as protection against armed rebellion that aims at ending you...

If legit, it is I think a first such declaration from an army unit:
 

And here's an address from Prig. @Grigb this is something to  summarise I think. What I get with my high school Russian is that they took full control of Rostov, including the airport.

Edit: changed the link to one with some translation

FIrst time he appeared on a video since all of that started:
 

It's after 7am in Moscow. If we don't have a statement by the time I wake up in 8 hours or so, I'm with you on this.

New vid from one impact on Chonhar bridge:
 
 

IMHO Putin has no choice at all. Either he has the army behind him or he'll end like Beria.
 

WTF! Me going out tonight with my wife having some Tapas with friends and coming back reading Prig is starting a civil war? 
Anyways, UAF seems to do the right thing and probe and push the lines. They have to throw out the orcs regardless.

Whoever picked the timing for these ongoing NATO exercises is adding a star. It is EXACTLY the right time for NATO to be in high state of readiness.
