The Wagner Group and the Internet Research Group

Yevgeny Pragozan led the Internet Research Group, which created bots and false memes that were polluting people's Twitter feeds. He was also responsible for creating the Wagner group, an off-the-book mercenary army used by Vladimir Putin to carry out nationalist oriented tasks. Many of these people were recruited from the poorest parts of central Russia; when they died, they were buried in secret. Now we are at this point where Pragozan has his own private army: he wants to settle with senior members of the defense establishment.
