A mutiny in Russia by Wagner mercenaries exposed cracks in Vladimir Putin’s authority. The man behind the uprising, Yevgeny Prigozhin, used to be a trusted fixer in Putin’s inner circle, before defying the president. Richard Engel has been tracking Prigozhin for years and tells the story of his rise from his early days as a petty criminal in St. Petersburg, to becoming the head of a global private military company active in Ukraine, the Middle East and Africa and even meddling in U.S. elections.

"Keyboard Warriors" 😂😂😂
A FOOL, a BIAS and an UNPROFESSIONAL Journalist!!! 🤬🤬 A PROFESSIONAL LIAR…!! 😡😡
Great reporting Richard👏👏👏
Wow this was well done Richard. Please, PLEASE stay safe
Old news
The reason so many joined Wagner from prison was beacuse he gave them 5 minutes to decide.
A poor black man with lots of money
'Central African Republic' leaders are terrible & corrupt. Theat leadership doesn't care about their peopld. They only care about themselves.💰$💰$💰$💰$💰$
African country's have to create their own alliance organization. A league of African nations; With mutual respect & prosperity to strengthen their citizens, as a corner stone.
Such a strong change for that side of the world; will require some major wars, revolutions, civil wars. Because, the fat cats won't just roll over.
If this ever starts, America needs to be on the right side. Because, its the future.
Engles more 'subtle' attack on Trump. Not quit as obvious as his last attack.
Look at him a so called leader that can not defend himself but brags about his 18 room shack
Utterly hilarious yet also blatantly bizarre on so many levels🫵
The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach.
If one sees all of this, one wonders how people want someone like Trump!
"But tends to overestimate his abilities and his genius." Russian through and through.
Jesús the Ukraine looks like México 😭
How much oil is taken by the US in Syria?
Hillary called it out, however she did not HAMMER IT HOME.😐
🔥🔥 KGB defector Yuri Bezmenov's warning to America – YouTube. 🔥🔥
🔥🔥 FULL INTERVIEW with Yuri Bezmenov: The Four Stages of Ideological Subversion (1984) 🔥🔥
They are contaminated. They are PROGRAMMED to think and REACT to certain stimuli in a certain pattern. You CAN NOT CHANGE THEIR MIND. Even if you expose them to AUTHENTIC information. Even if you PROVE black is black and white is white. You still CAN NOT CHANGE the BASIC BEHAVIOUR. In other words these people, the process of DEMORALIZATION is COMPLETE and IRREVERSIBLE. To get rid Society of these people, you have, you need another 20 or 15 years to educate a NEW GENERATION of PATRIOTICALLY PEOPLE and COMMON SENSE PEOPLE who would be acting IN THE INTEREST OF THE UNITED STATES SOCIETY.🎓🎓💯
The DEMORALIZATION PROCESS IN THE UNITED STATES IS BASICALLY COMPLETED ALREADY……..ACTUALLY ITS "OVERFILLED"…….DEMORALIZATION REACHES SUCH AREA WHERE PREVIOUSLY COMRADE DROPOV? AND ALL HIS EXPERTS WOULD NOT HAVE DREAMED OF SUCH SUCCESS……MOST IS DONE BY AMERICANS TO AMERICANS THANKS TO LACK OF MORAL STANDARDS.🎓
📣📣Bezmenov: Because they know too much. Simply because, you see, the useful idiots, the leftists who are idealistically believing in the beauty of Soviet socialist or Communist or whatever system, when they get dis-illusioned they become the worst enemies. That’s why my KGB instructors specifically made a point, never bother with leftists. Forget about these political prostitutes. Aim higher. This was my instruction-try to get into large circulation established conservative media. Reach movie makers, intellectuals, so called academic circles, cynical egocentric people who can look into your eyes with angelic expression and tell you a lie. This are the most recruit-able people, people who lack moral principles, who are either too GREEDY or suffer from SELF-IMPORTANCE. They feel that they matter a lot. These are the people KGB wanted very much to recruit.
So, basically, America is stuck with the demoralization unless, even if you start right now here this minute, you start educating huge generation of Americans, it will still take you FIFTEEN to TWENTY years to turn the tide of ideological perception of reality back to normalcy and patriotism.
Most of the American politicians, media and educational system trains another generation of people who think they are living at the peace time. False. The United States is in a state of war. Undeclared total war against the basic principles and the foundations of this system. And the initiator of this war is not comrade Andropov, of course, it’s the system, however ridiculous it may sound, the world communist system, or the world communist conspiracy. Whether it scares some people or not I don’t give a hoot. If you’re not scared by now, nothing can scare you.
But you don’t have to be paranoid about it. What actually happens now that unlike myself, you have literally several years to live on unless the United States wake up. The time bomb is ticking. Every second, the disaster is coming closer and closer. Unlike myself, you will have nowhere to defect to unless you want to live in Antarctica with penguins. This is it. This is the last country of freedom and possibility.
Griffin : Ok, so, what do we do? What is your recommendation to the American people?
Bezmenov : Well, the immediate thing that comes to my mind is of course, there must be a very strong national effort to educate people in the spirit of real patriotism, one. Number two, to explain the real danger of socialist communist whatever, welfare state, big brother government. If people will fail to grasp the impending danger of that development, nothing ever can help the United States, you must kiss goodbye to your freedoms, including freedoms to homosexuals, to prison inmate, all this freedom will vanish. It will evaporate in five seconds including your precious lives. The second thing, the moment, at least part of the United States population is convinced that the danger is real. They have to force their Government, and I’m not talking about sending letters, signing petitions and all this beautiful noble activity. I’m talking about forcing United States Government to stop aiding communism.
-Yuri Bezmenov
Great job!

#Prighozin Hero yesterday Traitor today?
Unexpected, you must be joking. The pro fighter was always going to win. Too much weights and not enough speed work
He is going there to see how easy it will be to take over and he is getting an idea of how to take over
It’s about time Special Forces get their credit for wrecking the numerically superior Russians in Syria. Wagner’s, and Russia’s forces are trash compared to America’s.

This video is hard to watch. It is hard to admit but NATO, spearheaded by US, is supporting the most corrupt country in Europe. Monies given Ukraine have been skimmed off by Zelensky and his cronies and weapons given them are showing up on the black market. Yet western leaders still want their populations to continue supporting Ukraine.
A grand synopsis of but one symptom of the on-going narrative (i.e. Russians) 👍👍
This was nothing, it wasn't even about stopping the war !!
Russian citizens pay the consequences of Putins actions. The people are now suffering.
His greed got the better of him should have paid his boss Putin and became a billionaire
You idiots showed her red hair, be easy to identify her, why they hate you guys
Thank You
Prigozhin looks better with the wigs lol
When The NATO Summit went underway Vladimir Putin needed find away to buy some News time Good Grief!!’ 😢
Richard Engel did a fantastic job
Vladimir Putin is only buying more time in the news with Prigozhin but like who really cares
CAR doesn’t have the numbers to battle the rebels within They rely on outside help like Wagners Those rebels killed many of Wagners
There he goes!! Ben Hodges has been in hiding since the Ukrainian "counter offensive" started he predicted it would be a route and Russian army will collapse. 😂😂
A gangster of gangsters.
Greetings!! NBC News
Excellent documentary! Very informative and provides incite into the how the criminal structure of Russia's elite works. The country runs like a giant cult!
This was really good
ทรั้มต้องติดคุก
This was great reporting but nobody knows whats true and whats not. I wouldnt put it past putin and his "friends" to make it seem like there is a internal problem for the cameras. Anh world leader for that fact. Only time will tell.
Superior journalism! Thank you!!!
Engel FTW
Sounds like it's time for another US Special Forces to go into those African countries and (this time) teach Prigozhin a lesson he doesn't survive!
Had to bring in lies about Trump and 2016.
Engel is like the Tom Cruise of news!!!! Shout out to his amazing family for sharing him with millions so he can share with us the world!!!!💝
Imagine something similar happening here, in the U.S.A., with Trump and BlackWater (Black Watch?🤔)
RATSSIA
Wodka ! Kaviar !
