The expert of political and regional communications Ilya Ananyev writes :
“As a result, after the crash of the aircraft, the most incredible and conspiracy theological version of the“ trace of Putin ”in the death of Prigozhin became the most discussed in languages. Be that as it may, the Kremlin will have to deal with the reputation risks of this version, which, it seems to me, is almost impossible to play. Only minimize the “shadow” to Putin from the disaster with Wagner with several moves:
1. Do not “inflate” on the “first buttons” and especially in the analytical genre with the famous propagandists “sudden love” of the state for Evgeny Prigozhin. After two years of information imprisonment, all this will look elaborate and stupid. Enough information lighting of the event.
2. Putin should not go to the general human stream of farewell to Evgeny Prigozhin and his colleagues under the “cameras”. The president must say goodbye to Prigozhin quietly, alone with his family. Where and how - they know the interests very well. The Kremlin’s “larchs” will calmly broadcast photos and videos, and the president will get away from the nit -footed society in “falsehood” and “duplicity”.
3. Putin must meet with the families of Evgeny Prigozhin and his dead colleagues. Particular attention and guarantees from the president in their direction.
4. Legalize the Wagner PMC through a personal meeting in the Kremlin with fighters and commanders. Maybe there is a new name of the successor there. Leave Wagner in an existing format without switching to the Ministry of Defense.
5. Evgeny Prigozhin to leave for the desire of the family and the deceased. Prigozhin, like a person walking along the edge of death daily, exactly had a variant of the “will” with his last place of “promise”. For his ability to “walk on the ground”, and not soaring in the clouds with “showers” he was loved by the deep Russia.
The Kremlin is important to “not outplay” in their “honors” to Evgeny Prigozhin. All present will say and give him the deep Russia. ”
