Yeah, but he was stripped of all of his power. Wagner group is being rolled into the state military. The opportunity for Wagner to push back and or give Putin the boot has passed.
And, this dude was also an evil corrupt piece of shit. If he overthrew Putin, Russia would’ve still been an authoritarian disinformation state.
He was a straight-up Neo-Nazi and named the group after Hitler’s favorite composer. So yeah, he would have been infinitely worse than Putin… and that’s saying something.
I thought the link between Wagner Group and Hitler was a stretch, but it turns out the group’s name comes from founder Dmitry Utkin’s callsign, and he chose it specifically because Wagner was Hitler’s favorite composer. Utkin himself has Nazi tattoos.

Yeah but a guy with a Stalin pfp told me Ukrainians are the real Nazis /s
The picture of Utkin with nazi tatoos is not Utkin, they don’t look the same and it’s unsourced.
No he wasn’t https://rainershea.substack.com/p/anatomy-of-a-psyop-the-incredibly
LOL.
When Bellingcat says that’s not Dmitry Utkin, I listen.
Yup.
A couple months ago? There would be an argument that he could do more good than bad.
Yesterday? He was a powerless nazi thug
Today? Maybe he is in exile. Maybe he is a charred corpse on the ground. Either way, one less nazi.
He would at least cause a schism between the putin fanatics and everyone else.
