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.
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.
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.

Spoiler: he won’t.
Look on the bright side, if he actually did it we'd never hear the end of it from patsoc losers

Trostky was at least competent and instrumental in winning the revolution. Prigozhin is nothing but a squealing pig in comparison.
