Concomitant damage

Political scientist Alexei Naumov writes about the consequences of the death of Prigozhin:

“For the stability of the prevailing state structure, the incident, of course, plus - one of the most powerful non -systemic players was withdrawn from the game, who, moreover, declared ambitions to revise the immutable principles of the system. The monopoly on violence and power unity of power are restored.

The damage, on the other hand, is inflicted on Russia's ambitions in Africa: the system embarked on a charismatic and influential Prigozhin in any case will be forced to encounter a powerful stress of the transition period, the fate of which is unclear.

Problems are also created by the almost leveling status of PMCs as a combat unit in the context of a military operation - a highly modified group with excellent media and even folklore support - without a doubt, a valuable asset for the leadership of Russia.

Finally, the moral effect for Russian society is also ambiguous: it is understandable with opponents, however, for supporters, the loss of one of the most media and charismatic "folk" speakers of recent times, without a doubt, will be noticeable. "
