Evgeny Prigozhin, the owner of PMC Wagner, spreads his influence across various spheres in Russia. His “Wagnerites” are fighting at the front, he makes very loud statements about the leadership of the Russian army and on other occasions. He also said that YouTube should be closed in Russia.
Such statements by Prigozhin have a certain basis, because she is directly related to the troll factories in Russia and is one of their first organizers. Russian opposition politician Gennady Gudkov spoke about thisChannel 24.
Prigozhin created information “garbage heaps”
According to the politician, Prigozhin is the owner of a troll factory that unites a large number of unprincipled people who, for money, circulate comments, viral videos, litter the news feed, and also incite hatred on the network.
He has a large number of information “dumps” – so to speak, news agencies. They are not very effective, because those who are online do not read them, and their information does not reach the media. These “garbage dumps” exist for themselves. Their effectiveness is close to zero,” he believes.
In his opinion, Prigozhin understands that YouTube and other sites on the network do not work for Putin, but against him, therefore he wants to close it.
< p>“But he does not understand that YouTube is also advertising, and education, and a means of communication, and much more. Today, a lot of economic, social and other activities are associated with it,” Gudkov said.
He compared Prigozhin , trying to close YouTube, with the owner of the house, in one of the rooms of which mold appeared. And he, instead of getting rid of her, decides to destroy the whole house.
“After all, Prigozhin does not understand that the Internet is not only an ideological struggle and military propaganda. Because he is locked in his information bubble and thinks that the Internet exists to fight Putin,” the oppositionist suggested.

PPK “Wagner” – Putin's personal army
< p dir="ltr">According to him, Prigozhin is the face and collective image of Putin's power, its exact internal characteristic.
Putin gave Prigozhin power, money, powers, because he did not believe in other possibilities. Or strengthened these capabilities with his personal army. After all, the Wagner PPK is not Prigozhin's personal army, but Putin's. And he simply put Prigozhin in charge of this “project,” he believes.
The opposition politician stressed that Prigozhin was given the opportunity to do everything he could offer.
“Proposed to recruit convicts – and he was given such powers. The more he “utilizes” them, the calmer it will be in prisons and places will be vacated,” he noted.
However, in his opinion, Putin did not plan this – it happened, they have no other “expensive material”, except for the prisoners.
and come running,” Gennady Gudkov emphasized.
