Entering the prigozhin glizzy contest 2024
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.

Is this some kind of Russian saying?
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
He's doing war crimes in heaven now, RIP big fella
"waltuh. get me outta this carbonite, waltuh"
"Me and the hutts had a good thing goin' waltuh"
Unfortunately that tech was lost with death of Gorba the Hutt.
You can kill a man, but you can't kill an idea.
Well you do have to kill the man to actualize the idea, in this case
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 had no idea Glossu Rabban Harkonnen was that popular in Russia.
Truly a revolutionary of our time….. /s
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.
