The Role of Mobilization in the Russian Regime

FSB was always opposed to legalization of PMC's in Russia, mainly because they want to have a monopoly on violence. I think that ultimately there's a contest in the regime, which is my own guess, looking at it and I'll broadly characterize it between the mobilization and the demobilization element of it,. This regime is largely built as a demobilization regime, and there are many people in it that are arguing that, no, they don't need Wagner... They can't handle this war," he says.
