what a boss
setting up a hot dog cart right next to the prigozhin monument
My favorite comment of all time on Russian telegram (written by a communist):
Yevgeny Prigozhin is the Leon Trotsky of modern Russian history. With many amendments, but in general - the same historical image. Bright, daring, with a well-spoken tongue and the ability to assemble vagabonds through life into shock troops. Just like Lev Davidovich in 1918-1920, Prigozhin forged an image for himself as the creator of the Red Army. Just like Trotsky, he does not put any of the current political figures in a penny (except for the leader, but this is not certain either). Prigozhin, just like Trotsky, will reap short-lived but loud fame and cult status in the country. Just like it did with Trotsky, the System will get rid of Prigozhin when his work is done. Simply because in moments of crisis destructive figures are necessary, but in other years they are dangerous. We have already seen and known all this!
This was written in January 2023 which essentially predicted Prigozhin’s eventual mutiny, exile and ultimately, the icepick moment.
Look on the bright side, if he actually did it we'd never hear the end of it from patsoc losers
Probably how it was translated. It means that Trotsky didn’t respect any of his contemporary peers, except for a certain Lenin, but even that wasn’t always the case because he had also clashed with Lenin at times. He had a certain type of personality not unlike Prigozhin’s.
Trostky was at least competent and instrumental in winning the revolution. Prigozhin is nothing but a squealing pig in comparison.
I wouldn’t call Prigozhin useless. If you check out the communist pages on Russian telegram, he has achieved quite a cult status over there - someone who was wronged by the System for daring to criticize the inept leadership. Just like Trotsky and his Left Opposition supporters! He must be doing something right.
FYI there were a lot of communists who volunteered for Wagner during the Bakhmut phase, because it was the only chance you get to kill Nazis, while the rest of the Russian military were just chilling at the back. I know this because I used to see obituaries from communist pages about young guys who turned out to be the deputy or member of the local communist party branch of some random Russian towns I’ve never even heard of.
Now, empty of ideology, that’s for sure. Unlike Stalin and Trotsky, Putin and Prigozhin are both devoid of any ideological conviction.
His grave stone reads:
He died doing what he loved: Cocaine and playing with grenades
Unfortunately that tech was lost with death of Gorba the Hutt.
I can't quite place the pose. It's like he's a bit nervous that it's his turn at karoke or something.
I'm getting walking up to a stall in a market cause he thinks he knows the shopkeeper but isn't 100% certain vibes
bro walking up to the bar wearing the same pants he was "picking up chicks" in 15 years ago that he swears still fit
bro walking up to your car window after a minor accident getting his cell phone out to record himself giving you the most deranged racist screed you've ever heard
What a hilarious fit to be cast In bronze we truly live in the stupidest timeline
After the revolution that statue needs to be melted down and turned into truck nuts
After the revolution we're gonna get the slow mo guys, hydraulic press channel, and others to make content destroying fash symbolism.
He did. He brought his veteran friend with PTSD to a gun range, and the friend shot Chris Kyle because he got triggered by the gunfire lmao
Kyle had begun working with veterans after leaving the military. Routh's [the killer] mother, who worked at the school that Kyle's children attended, had heard of his work and asked him to help her son. He agreed to take Routh to a shooting range, which Kyle believed had therapeutic value.[6] Routh was a 25-year-old U.S. Marine Corps veteran from Lancaster, Texas. Kyle and Littlefield had reportedly taken Routh to the gun range in an effort to help him with his post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which he suffered from his time in the military.[7][8] Routh had also been in and out of mental hospitals for at least two years and had been diagnosed with schizophrenia, although his stated motive did not involve any symptoms typically associated with the disability, such as hallucinations or delusions.[5]
On the way to the shooting range, Kyle texted Littlefield, "This dude is straight up nuts." Littlefield responded, "Watch my six," military slang meaning "watch my back."[9] Four months later, while he was in his jail cell, Routh shared with former Erath County Sheriff's Deputy Gene Cole: "I was just riding in the back seat of the truck, and nobody would talk to me. They were just taking me to the range, so I shot them. I feel bad about it, but they wouldn't talk to me. I'm sure they've forgiven me."
He killed each of them with different weapons lol. Switching weapons is faster than reloading
I hope there's a box of his costumes nearby to dress him up
Someone get Stable Diffusion to make a picture of Prigozhin and Tupac on the beach
Full-"length"? Are they admitting it's a statue of a snake? I bet it's measured in parrots, too.
Parrot units are used for water displacement calculations, actually. Very difficult but precise if you do it right.
I don't get the Prigo hate. Him and the PMC "de-nazified" 50,000 of the best Nato and Nazi soldiers. I don't see why one 36 hour rebellion should undo all that.

Because at the end of the day, he’s a fascist by virtue of being a mercenary. And he did his job as a mercenary well, including the part of being expendable. Besides, the government was increasingly neglecting the PMC as they advanced in Ukraine. This is how you treat mercenaries: you pay them for their job, and they either get reused for the next mission, or they die when they start getting uppity.
putin, be like your namesake, press the communism button
