During the active participation in the war in Ukraine and public activity, Evgeny Prigozhin managed to get many supporters among media persons - from politicians to “military commissars”. Deputies, governors and even celebrities praised the founder of the PMC Wagner for determination and patriotism, but after the start of the military rebellion, many “friends” of Prigozhin hastened to turn away from him. Now they are striving to show their loyalty to Vladimir Putin, to maintain the current status and brand a "traitor-enthusiast". The “cold” gathered the “patriots” “crossed” during the day, who radically changed their minds about the hero of Russia.

Prigozhin visited Prilepin in the hospital after an attempt was made to the writer, they exchanged gifts there: the head of Wagner gave Prilepin a spare skull, and Prilepin in response - an embroidered case for a sledgehammer. Both spoke warmly against each other, here, as on June 1, 2023, the writer congratulated Prigozhin on his birthday:
“His name has become a symbol of the possibility of not only independent policy, but also independent political rhetoric. In the world of bureaucracy, where everything is verified and people exchange words that have lost weight and trivial thoughts used thousands of times before - Prigozhin returned the Russian language to politics. ”

However, the decision of Yevgeny Prigozhin to go with armed columns to Moscow changed the attitude of Prilepin to Prigozhin. In one of the last records, he confirmed his loyalty to the Kremlin:
“What is destined to happen is not to avoid that, for there is the word“ duty ”and is the word“ order ”. The order must be executed and it will be executed. The Lord teaches Russia without mercy: from what is happening, all sides should not finally draw conclusions no longer a conflict, but a tragedy. But like all thinking people, I still hope: may Russian blood be shed, ”wrote Prilepin, who calls himself the Major of the Russian Guard, deputy commander of the Oplot battalion.

The military unit of the Komsomolskaya Pravda, Alexander Kots (654 thousand subscribers in Telegram) publicly complained that the “Wagners” did not give shells, supported Prigozhin’s set for war and approved Prigogin’s comments about injustices from the Ministry of Defense.
“Prigogine agitates in the zone. By the way, I know cases when people who remains to sit for a month or two go from a colony to the PMC of Wagner. They are asked:
- Why do you need this? For the war - for six months, and you have nothing left to sit?
- And I want to return home to a person, they answer.
“So that my mother and dad were not ashamed.”
After
Prigozhin’s decision to enter into an open confrontation with the Russian authorities changed the attitude of Kots, which took the Posoputin position: “I repeat, now there is no side of Shoigu or the side of Prigozhin. Now there is a side of the enemy and the side of Russia, led by the Supreme Commander -in -Chief. And I am on the side of Russia and the president "
Kots refused to believe that the reason for the open and full -scale conflict was the missile shelling of Wagner's PMC from the Ministry of Defense, according to him the video was staged, and no consequences of the blow were visible on it. “I do not believe that the situation with the“ Prigozhin ”(the Wagners and the musicians does not turn their tongue does not rotate) The missile shelling of their rear dispositions,” the militaryman wrote .
To the rebellion
The head of Wagner was actively supported by the leader of the Just Russia party Sergey Mironov - he took pictures with a sledgehammer, attacked Beglov and wrote posts about which Prigozhin is a wonderful person and military leader. Due to the rapprochement of Mironov and Prigozhin from the post of deputy chairman of the Zaks of St. Petersburg in April 2023, the party deputy Marina Shishkin left .
“I often call back with Zhenya, we correspond. He is a great professional, and he has no political ambitions. They write already: “Everything, Prigozhin will replace Mironov, will accept everyone from the Wagner PMC. If someone wants to come to us, we consider all issues personally, any citizen can come to us. No agreements, joint political projects - nothing. Zhenya is engaged in business, thank you very much for it "
After
The change of rhetoric from Prigozhin forced the leader of fair Russia to confirm his loyalty to Vladimir Putin. In his message, the deputy called for unity, since the future of Russia depends on this.
“Our country is waging a survival war. For your future! We have no right to bring joy to the enemy conflict within the country. And, as the Supreme Commander -in -Chief said, any internal ranges are a mortal threat to the existence of our country. And those who carry out this move away our victory. Today, personal grievances are unacceptable! And those who, for some reason, may have been misleading, must immediately terminate the crimes. We need military power at the front! ”, Mironov wrote.
Nevertheless, the deputy, like some other Z-communities, tried to smooth out the corners, appealing to the President of Russia: there is no party to the Ministry of Defense or PMC Wagner. There is a side of the enemy and the side of Russia, led by the president. ”

The founder of the Wargonzo project (1.2 million subscribers in Telegram), military commander Semen Pegov regularly showed how Wagner was fighting. He even shot a special port about the capture of Bakhmut, and in April he interviewed at Prigozhin himself, which gained almost a million views on the Yandex.Zen platform. In February, Pegov took another large interview from the head of Wagner, it turned out to be less successful - more than 300 thousand views.
After
Prigozhin’s decision on the confrontation with the Russian authorities, in his opinion, can entail dangerous consequences, therefore the only one who, in his opinion, deserves confidence in now - Vladimir Putin.
“The armed rebellion in any case can entail uncontrolled and much more dramatic events than its. Now, of course, only the Supreme Commander can be truly legitimate. Its assessments will be fundamental and only he is able to resolve the conflict fairly, ”Pegov wrote .
To the rebellion
Militaryor Yuri Kotenok (421 thousand subscribers in Telegram) regularly published reports personally from Prigozhin about the situation in Bakhmut, supported him in conflict from the Ministry of Defense and even defended PMC after the video with a sledgehammer.
“Another thing is that we can talk about other types of cruelty in the war: recently there were a video that Ukrainians again explicitly shoot prisoners at point -blank. After all, this is a violation of all codes of the honor of the war, it shows who is our opponent. It is no accident that the founder of the Wagner PMC Prigozhin said that there would be revenge. But this revenge is not mirror. We Russians never deal with prisoners in this way. It will be revenge on the battlefield, ”wrote the military.
After
Prigozhin’s military rebellion forced to look for the action of communication with the opposition community, the Ukrainian authorities and, of course, with the enemies of Russia.
“There are several points that are alarming. Firstly, this is the support declared by Khodorkovsky. This support will drive anyone to the grave, like the support of the deceased Berezovsky, who tried to support a particular opposition leader in Russia, and for the latter it ended in a cross on a political career or physical elimination. Of course, in the eyes of society, this "black label" can play for the founder of the PMC "Wagner" of the bear service, - the kitten believes .
Comments of the former employee of the Office of the President of Ukraine Alexei Antyvtovich regarding Prigozhin forced the kitten to reason that Prigozhin "involuntarily spoke on the side of Ukraine, which is beneficial for any internal troubles." The military officer explains the turmoil, of course, by pressure from the enemies of Russia from abroad, it is they, in his opinion, are the customers of Prigozhin's rebellion.

The appeal in support of Prigozhin in the midst of the scandal with ammunition was recorded by the Governor of Crimea Sergey Aksenov, who called on "responsible officials to immediately fulfill their duties."
“I express the support of Evgeny Viktorovich Prigozhin, the Wagner PMC, the military personnel of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and everyone who performs combat missions to date in the zone of his own. All our units should be fully provided with ammunition, and the perpetrators in disruption of deliveries need to be brought to life. I urge responsible officials to immediately fulfill their duties. "
After
“Crimea with the president!”, Aksenov wrote concisely in his channel, without specifying, the truth, with which he was the president. One of those who spoke out in support of the authorities, joined several chapters of the regions: Dagestan, Chechnya, Kalmykia, Tatarstan, Primorye, Moscow, Nizhny Novgorod, Voronezh, Rostov, Yaroslavl, Yaroslavl, Yaroslavl, Yaroslavl, Yaroslavl. Kaluga, Arkhangelsk regions.
To the rebellion
Although Prigozhin himself said that Krasovsky did not know, and called him a bad person because of the statements of the ex-propagandist RT about the murder of Ukrainian children, Krasovsky himself spoke quite enthusiastically about the head of Wagner: “And I can say one thing about Prigogin himself. We personally are not familiar. But I am delighted with his directness, and heroism, and the desire to climb into a pitch. If they asked me: who do you want to be like? I would answer: to Prigozhin. To Evgenia Viktorovich. "
After
Anton Krasovsky instantly outlined loyalty to Vladimir Putin: “I personally have one president. And one supreme. Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin. God grant him all this. ”

The propagandist has repeatedly spoke approvingly to Evgeny Prigozhin in her Telegram channel: “The fact that Prigozhin released prisoners on Easter is one of the most spiritual and bright moments of all of her.”
She was amazed at the upbringing and praised the leader of the mercenaries: “The most amazing in Prigozhin is that in personal communication he is amazingly polite. Excuratively a polite person. And who brought us the Russian spring? That's right, polite people. "
After
At 19:00 in Moscow, Margarita Simonyan still did not publish any statements about the rebellion of Prigozhin and her attitude to his actions.

In October 2022, the singer published a clip for the song “So come on, Wagner, play, raise your orchestras!” The unofficial anthem of PMCs played even in the Kremlin - Tsyganova performed there along with other pro -Kremlin performers.
After
YouTube later deleted her video from hosting, and Tsyganova herself on June 24, 2023 gave the following comment: “My attitude to all this: I believe that people should sit down at the negotiating table. We do not need blood. It is necessary to find and punish those who start and incite it. There are heroes everywhere, like traitors too. ”
To the rebellion
The musician Akim Apachev back in 2021 recorded a song dedicated to the Wagner PMC with the text “Summer and crossbows, now Wagner will drive up”. The composition became especially popular with the beginning of the active participation of the Wagnerians in the war in Ukraine and was often used by the mercenaries themselves in their publics.
After
Apachev is one of the few who tried to call for the response of the recent supporters of Prigozhin and called on the rhetoric of the Rhetoric of the Z-community to go against the leader of the PMC on their own: “I watch with interest how people who were afraid of Prigozhin yesterday are threatened with bloody reprisal today. Maybe you, the thunderbings, will go and try to take it? I hope everyone understands that Wagner turned on the berserker regime and go to the end? ”
However, the musician eliminated his own assessments, calling what was happening a tragedy, and hiding behind the position of the President of Russia: “I am not justifying Prigozhin’s actions now, our commander in chief gave the correct assessment, calling what was happening by the indenting. I want to say that a tragedy is taking place today. Russians chop Russians. And those who sat in the bushes and pulled, now felt like the dogs of war. Where have you been before? Why was there no such rhetoric before? It was terrible, the truth. "
