Are moves already underway to OVERTHROW Putin? Russian leader’s former supporters say he faces growing threat from Wagner mercenary army
FOR MAILONLINE ^ | 29 May 2023 | WILL STEWART

Strelkov said the 'smuta' - pre-revolutionary turmoil - has already started.

He claimed Prigozhin is acting with unidentified figures inside Putin's power structures and one serious blow to Russia's war effort by Ukraine could trigger huge changes.

'No later than late summer the internal political situation in the country might change beyond recognition,' Strelkov, who has 800,000 Telegram followers including many mid-ranking Russian soldiers, said.

'Prigozhin has declared war on part of the military and state elite,' he said. 'Naturally he is not alone. If he was just by himself, he would have been eliminated,' Strelov said, pointing to how there are thousands of Wagner mercenaries.

'Naturally he has a very strong roof [close to Putin's circle],' said Strelkov, an ex-FSB colonel who was key to Russia grabbing Crimea and part of the Donbas in 2014.

Strelkov continued: 'He is a member of the ruling mafia, of one of its groupings. And now we are observing how one of the groupings is breaking the current situation.

'We see the declaration of a coup attempt…. Wagner is rushing to move its men back to bases. And its bases are scattered all around European Russia.

'This allows me to conclude that [pre-revolutionary] social turmoil has started [against Putin].'

Vladimir Putin is facing a growing threat of a coup from the fearsome Wagner mercenary army and anti-Kremlin rebellions on the border regions of Russia, the despot's former supporters have said.

Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin is acting with unidentified figures within Putin's circle in a bid to oust the dictator, war analyst Igor Strelkov, ex-defence minister of Donetsk People's Republic, claimed.

Strelkov said that now that the Wagner army is pulling out of the war zone around the Ukrainian city of Bakhmut, the mercenaries could be used as military muscle to oust Putin.

Prigozhin, with his merc army, has the best chance of ridding the world of dirty Tsar Putin.

Strekov is saying the Prigozhin has lots of support from big shots in Russia, so that he has protection from Mad Vlad.

After the revolutionaries executed Tsar Nicholas II and his family, they doused the bodies with sulfuric acid.

Putin should be on the alert for any recent sulfuric acid purchases.

Oh, sure!! They will knock him off AFTER his cancer treatment is over, he dies, or any other of his many conditions you outlined happen.

Winning has consequences.

It’s almost June 2023, since Putin hasn’t died from all the various forms of cancer he supposedly has, which was supposed to kill him months ago, the next move is to claim he’s about to be overthrown by a mercenary organization.

So, now you're trumpeting that instability in the government of a major nuclear power is a good thing.

NICE JOB, TROLL MONKEY!

Denny the Clown is back!

He was dead last May and Russia was using a body double in his place. He has had stomach, blood and thyroid cancer (all of which would have killed him by now) last year. And, now, he's going to be overthrown!

Great clip there. Only it was tough to root for the good guys. Because there were no good guys.

The tsar’s officers were butchers.
And the revolutionaries were butchers.

I guess the lesson here is to not have a tsar, and to not let radicals take control.

Kerensky blew it by keeping Russia in the war.

Absolutely correct. Sometimes huge outcomes depend on one single decision. That was one of them. Had Kerensky been a bit more clever, perhaps then there would have been no Lenin. And then no Stalin.
