I think the lower mortality rate has some impact here.

In WWII you were more likely to just be dead than survive to be a wounded veteran to return home.

True. Korea's slow moving front line and air CASEVAC (M*A*S*H opening scene) made a big difference there.

Did you guys read the books by the Soviet dissident that the fall of the USSR was a ruse and one day there would be a coup to reinstall 2SSR, just like that Simpsons episode?

NEW LIES FOR OLD: The Communist Strategy of Deception and Disinformation

and

The Perestroika Deception: The world's slide towards the 'Second October Revolution' ['Weltoktober']

The late 80’s early 90’s was so fuckin funny.

“The Perestroika Deception' explains the devious secret intent behind the Leninist strategy which the 'former' Communists are pursuing under cover of fake 'reform' and 'progress towards democracy'. The immediate strategic objective is 'convergence' with the West - on their terms, not ours. The ultimate objective is Lenin's: replacement of nation states with collective regional governments as building blocks of the world revolution.”

quote:

The fight started in a restaurant in Uzhhorod district, after which the general was taken to the forest and his teeth were knocked out.

Three military counter-intelligence officers allegedly beat 62-year-old SBU General Viktor Mikulin, former rector of the SBU Academy and former deputy head of the Transcarpathian Regional State Administration.

According to the journalist, among the participants in the beating was Colonel Andriy Panarin, head of the 4th Department of the Military Counterintelligence Department of Transcarpathia.

According to Obozrevatel, citing its own sources in law enforcement, the counterintelligence colonel, along with his subordinates and probably several border guards, were having a loud night out in a restaurant.

Mikulin, who was holding a meeting with representatives of an international partner organisation in the same restaurant together with a Servant of the People MP, made a remark to the noisy company. In response, they started a fight.

The Obozrevatel source claims that the MP managed to escape and call the police. Mikulin was taken by the offended counterintelligence officers to the forest, where the 62-year-old man's teeth were knocked out.
According to media reports, he also had numerous bruises and bruises on his body, and doctors diagnosed a head injury, a fractured hand and other injuries.

The journalists write that the attackers fled the scene in a black Skoda, but were detained by officers of the KORD unit of the National Police.

Александр Ходаковский posted:

I spoke with Yevgeny Prigozhin only once by phone - communication did not give any exhaustive idea of him as a person. But later, when the campaign with the recruitment of convicts began, I learned a little more about him as a person. There was a story when at a meeting Prigozhin began to demand the commissioning of a thousand prisoners a day, and the PMCs manager responsible for the project objected that three hundred people was the ceiling. The manager reasoned soberly, based on a real assessment of the possibilities, but the all-powerful owner did not like the answer, and Prigozhin's personal immediately twisted the guy and beat him half to death. For three days we thought he would be killed, but a miracle happened: Utkin took his old comrade away from the boss, and soon he came to his senses and moved to fight in the forty-fifth Airborne Brigade.

This incident told me everything: I made an approximate psychoportret of Prigozhin, and in each office I began to warn about the growing threat. It was clear to me that a person with such habits serves only his own interests. I remember a few months ago, in a conversation with Dima Steshin, I shared my opinion about the situation with Wagner and the likely consequences, moreover, the PMCs itself did not cause me concerns - Prigozhin and how he could use the PMCs caused concerns. I treated the Wagnerians themselves as Russian soldiers who, for obvious reasons, preferred not to fight in the Ministry of Defense, and fought perfectly.

I always cringed when I saw Prigozhin's figure being put on a pedestal. Sometimes he builds a church and is praised for it, then he is against corruption and mediocrity... At the same time, it was quite clear that he does not keep the company on his own and gets everything he demands. A case is described: the deputy commander of the Airborne Forces, long before the conflict between Prigozhin and the Ministry of Defense was on the air, stood like a schoolboy at his desk with approved applications for arms supplies, and waited for Prigozhin to get acquainted. Releasing the general, Prigozhin handed him a mocking chevron with the inscription "Pig troops" and said: here, give it to your boss... This episode also formed my understanding of Prigozhin's personality and the nature of his conflict with the military, where arrogance, as a character trait, also played a role.

Familiar with my own demons, which the Church and my heavenly patrons help me to cope with, I realized what kind of hell is inside this person, and realized what awaits us in the end. Even realizing that few people listen to me, I began to write about the fact that power should not be in private hands, that it will eventually obey the one who owns it... Someone heard me, someone did not, but yesterday I received more than one message that how right I was. What I was waiting for happened. Only the Lord took the trouble away from us - the earthly forces were not able to.

I'm not saying it was all some big plan, but to play devil's advocate, its incredibly easy to imagine that if it was, you wouldn't inform all the troops (a thousand people aren't going to keep things secret), and someone following orders, even if they were told not to engage, might get jumpy or something and take action in the heat of the event.


It could easily be an unintended incident on top of a plan, if it was a plan. I'm not saying it was a plan. But it doesn't take a stretch to explain it if it was.
