A Wagner victim. She became overcome with fear.
Extremely unlikely I know but imagine if the West outbid Russia for Wagner's services - they are a mercenary organisation after all, so should theoretically align themselves to the highest bidder...

So ....... their former iteration (i.e. the USSR) pioneered space flight .... made several key breakthroughs in theoretical physics... amassed an arsenal of >5000 nuclear weapons ......inspired fear/respect across the world....... and now seems to think it's OK to murder their own people with sledgehammers and believes that imperialist-influenced insects are going to attack them. OK, that's not utter lunacy. At all. No wonder Putin misses the 'Good Old Days.....'

For Putin, the mutiny came down to a choice between two friends. Here's why he picked Shoigu
Sergei Shoigu, Vladimir Putin's longtime defence minister and close confidant, has so far held onto his position and survived an all-out mutiny staged by one of his most powerful opponents.

Maybe we should say "adding to" instead of "making a" name? That whole banking NaZi money in WWII kinda set the tone, IMO.

I find this type of video hugely impressive. It isn't bombastic, it isn't over dramatic, but there is a quiet confidence about it which I find very persuasive.
God speed to them all.

As life in Russia returned to normal after an armed rebellion by a mercenary group, tensions were rising in and around its neighbor Belarus, where the exiled leader of the force and some of its fighters were settling in.
Moving to Belarus was part of the deal the Kremlin struck with Yevgeny Prigozhin, head of the Wagner private military company, to end last weekend's rebellion that rattled Russia's leadership.
Prigozhin and his fighters escaped prosecution and were offered refuge in Belarus by authoritarian President Alexander Lukashenko, who said his country could use their experience and expertise.
That doesn't sit well with the Belarusian opposition and guerrilla activists, who called Wagner fighters "a threat to the Belarusian people and (the country's) independence," and promised action.
"We're categorically against stationing Russian mercenaries in Belarus and are preparing a 'warm' welcome to Wagnerites in Belarus," said Aliaksandr Azarau, leader of the BYPOL guerrilla group of former military members, speaking in a telephone interview with The Associated Press from outside the country.
[...]
He didn't specify the facility's location, but Azarau said construction of a site for Wagner mercenaries was underway in Osipovichi, a city 230 kilometers (142 miles) north of the border with Ukraine, with Belarusian soldiers involved.
Residents of the city of 30,000 told AP they were rattled by the developments.
"There's military equipment in the streets and Belarusian servicemen — all residents are discussing the arrival of Wagnerites and, frankly speaking, we're panicking and are not happy about being neighbors with them," Inga, a 43-year-old doctor in Osipovichi, said by phone.
"I have teenage daughters. … How will we live next to thugs, pardoned murderers and rapists?" said the woman, who spoke on condition of that she not be fully identified out of safety concerns.
[...]
Guerrillas from BYPOL told AP they will resist Wagner fighters being stationed in Belarus and "stage acts" of sabotage at sites where mercenaries are housed.
"We will actively resist this, using all possible means," Azarau said.
NATO members Poland, Latvia and Lithuania, who share a 1,250-kilometer (775-mile) border with Belarus, said they will enhance security along the frontier because of the Wagner forces.
