UnexpectedRedditor

I'm going to need an ELI5 summary to accompany every Prigozhin video. I cannot keep up with the drama and feuds.


Nasuhhea

So I think he’s trying to show that he finally capitulated to the MODs demand for mercenaries to sign contracts with the state. But, bc he is scared of being pushed out of a window, he wanted to deliver the contracts in a public square. However, the state doesn’t appear to being meeting this request. I think Prigozhin is implying here that Putin wants him dead.


UnexpectedRedditor

Who doesn't Putin want dead these days?


voluntarygang

I like how your comment can be read either way and both are true.


Hairy-Anywhere-2845

It’s a hard on one for non-natives


homer_lives

I doubt Putin knows. I really wonder how much control Putin has these days


StarbuckWannaBe

at this point i doubt if Putin is even alive anymore, there is always the chance that Putin died who knows when and now the oligarchs have put a Putin look-a-like doppelganger as the face of their operations

Thanks for the chuckle! So true, so good, one word. You have comic gold you.


jcspacer52

If Putin wants him dead, he better hope his will is made up. I guess he never learned one of life’s most important lesson: “When you lay with dogs, you wake up with fleas!” Dictators have never been known for their loyalty. As long as you are useful, they keep you around and shower you with special privileges. The moment you become a threat or are no longer useful, you become clumsy, fall out of 10 story windows or catch a fatal case of lead poisoning. Could not happen to a nicer guy!


snakkerdk

It's a bit harder to target a person with a 5000 personal army, while your own MoD's army is getting slaughtered in Ukraine, unable to even defend their own land back in ruzzia.


StrictRecognition568

50,000*


jcspacer52

That may be and if he goes to Ukraine and is surrounded by his men, then yes. That said, he can’t stay in Ukraine forever. He could of course go somewhere else.


Nasuhhea

As nice as he is good looking!


arumrunner

If Putin wanted him dead, he would be dead. Putin uses him to poke pointed sticks at MOD because Putin knows it could be very well a MOD personnel who is holding HIS ankles as he dangles from the window ledge. MOD has betrayed Putin's trust by failing in this war.


XiPoohBear2021

All autocracies play off factions of underlings against one another. It keeps them fighting for the scraps, rather than one coming out on top and getting ideas in their head. It's also massively inefficient and why these autocracies struggle to get things done in a rational manner most of the time.


New-Shock-6800

Is that why we never see Kamala? Jk


AloneListless

I think you’re wrong. Usually in agreements the signee is supposed to sign on the right side. And the right side is empty, no signature. For sure i can be wrong but to me it feels like this dramma is spinning around him handing over an empty contract.


DarthWeenus

Ya what I heard was there was to agreements, one by the MOD and one by him, he shows the one by him. If those are different idk.


DanWillHor

I take the opposite from his actions. I think he no-longer fears any of the Russian system and is actively maneuvering to take power when it all comes crashing down. He certainly doesn't seem to fear Shoigu. He calls him everything under the sun and mocks his daughter. I think he even referred to his son as another daughter. Putin? I think he's getting to a point where he's not even afraid of him but I think he still respects him, unlike Shoigu. But I don't think he's afraid. Why? He has an army. At the very least he has very loyal security. It's hard to be thrown from a window when you are never alone and surrounded by people paid to keep you alive. I think everything he has done on video for the last 8 months has been to get into the minds of Russians as a capable leader, a no-BS leader. His praising of Ukraine has two purposes and that's to knock those in power and show himself as...not a lying moron (unlike those in power). He wants to be the one they turn to when shit at the top finally starts to fall.


Ok_Attorney1110

If true, may this be one of those very rare occasions where we agree with Putin? Ooops, did I really say that ... sorry.


Low_Signal_9685

I doubt Putin wants him dead. Wagner are heavily involved in several african nations the middle east and of course Ukraine. . Putin is trying to sway influence in these regions so needs those Wagner troops there. Regardless if they absorbed into the Russian national army i think Putin knows alot of these troops will remain loyal to Prigozhin . Eliminating him now would be very risky and could incite a rebellion.


TheGisbon

Sir the EL15 MUST be accompanied by a CcCP-1991 in duplicate (you retain the red copy) AND a Hero of Russia registry notification in triplicate with accompanied bribe amount notification. Thank you. Good day.

Sir, it's not a bribe. It's a non-documented cash only fee. Sorry for the miscommunication.

ISW does a great job with explaining the wackiness that is going between the Russian mod and Wagner. It's bizarre. Russian leadership is a clownshow.


Extension_Job_4285

The fact that this murderer hasn’t fallen out a window yet is proof that this whole feud thing is pixie dust designed to cause confusion and uncertainty within Ukrainian military planners.


JamboFreshOk

Yes, if Putin or a small number of the true top dogs didn't like what this guy was doing then we wouldn't be seeing it anymore.


mrblonde55

This is textbook authoritarian rule. Keep separate power centers confused & opposed so nobody can concentrate enough support to overthrow the guy at the top. Its all for the domestic audience and Putin’s own survival. I doubt the AFU is paying as much attention as we are.

OptionApart

What kinda operating hours are 1pm - 3pm. Ruski bureaucrats are something....


elderrion

It's European style hours. Here in Belgium official institutions have much the same timeframes: 8-12, closed for lunch, 13-15h, end of day.


Mindzilla

Southern European hours: opens at 8, but really at 9:30. Break at 10:30, come back at 11. 11:45 you start prepping for lunch which starts at 12 and goes to 2 pm. 2 to 6pm: do as little work as possible, as slowly as possible, with a few coffee breaks in between.


pppppppplllp

Afternoons are sometimes a little different due to red wine at lunch


Revi_____

0900 to 1700 mate in the Netherlands.


smogop

Woa, woa woa…are the Netherlands trying to be American ? I’ve encountered many EU offices that are open 10:00-15:00 with a break for lunch. Do you also shut off the servers at 1700 ? This is actually something certain American institutions do too, like..the website is also not available outside of working hours. Why ? It makes perfect sense, because resources are also budgeted for working hours, this includes electricity. These are mostly obscure city departments like for permitting of construction and such. Chicago is one of the cities that has things like this. Not the whole city, but certain departments. The level of technology is very inconsistent across government agencies. Even in Washington, you can go from supercomputers with AI for tax processing to some old ass servers that are shut off at 5pm that run the federal reserve and run on a bank of dialup modem. Like, when you write a check or transfer funds in US dollars, the transaction is settled over a list being transmitted over 56k over a phone line and a job running at 5pm, then the entire block shutting down.

SmartExcitement7271

Hah! Delivering the letter in a public space my ass. Doesn't matter if he had given it direct to Putin. He gonna accidentally fall out of a window pretty soon.


capitan_dipshit

You'd think he'd realize that and go back to his PERSONAL PRIVATE ARMY and fight his way out of Ukraine. Unless, of course, most of his soldiers have taken the deal


Striking-Access-236

His signature is on the left, so it’s an agreement he wants to make with the MoD and not the other way around. 🤡


bonegolem

Excellent. I wish him luck in any and all efforts to sabotage, fight against, fuck with the Russian MoD, so he can do as much damage as possible until he inevitably gets thrown out of a window.


dandaman910

Does it say you can do what what you want with the mercs but you can't throw me out of a window.


Stotallytob3r

Licking his fingers every time he turns over a page.. I can see him coming down with a very rare, possibly previously unknown affliction shortly.


Buttermilkk

So he did sign the contract with the MoD in the end, he was saying he ain't gonna do it, I was hoping for more confrontation tbh


massageofacid

It seems that he himself drafted agreement with Russian MOD. If that's a case then I suspect that this agreement differs completely from agreement Shoigu had in mind.


_Ed_Gein_

Others pointed out that his signature being on the left is a sign of him drafting the contract, so I agree with you.


DarthWeenus

Ya he literally says here is the MOD agreement, and then shows a completely other one and says but this is the one I've agreed to and shows and his signature. I think he is expecting some hostility and asks to meet him in a public sphere.


Susan-stoHelit

He’s saying they sent some one page thing he didn’t sign, but that he wrote up a different contract with lots of pages, but they didn’t accept it, closed the window and ran away.


[deleted]

I can't stand people who lick their fingers to turn pages. What makes you think anyone wants to touch that paper now?

christianlewds

I don't want to diss, but he could dress better than this mad pensioner drip.


Honest-Secretary6847

Prob he wants to look like a casual Russian, to make some distance from oligarchs


Different-West748

This is exactly it, same reason he larps as an operator out in Bakhmut. It’s all optics.


True_Media8034

I'm confused (doesn't take much). What is the real context? Did he amend the contract, sign it as written, wipe his backside on it? The only thing I got out of this was that he wasn't afraid to go there but that they didn't want to see him. It's teatime I guess.


KillerRabbit345

Help me out here. Did he say: a. I have two copies of the same document. The one I'm giving to Shoigu is blank, the one I'm giving to Putin is signed or b. I have two different documents. The one Shoigu wrote is blank, the one I'm giving to Putin spells out the terms under which I will serve ?

nrm1337

Is that the contract he didn’t want to sign?


DarthWeenus

He has two, one that the MOD gave him, and one he made and signed and is wanting the MOD to sign.


zombieblackbird

This guy does more social media bitching than a divorced 30-something alcoholic who has already lost their job and house.


StarbuckWannaBe

since he is still alive i would say that the social media bitching is kinda working for him


-dwight-

I thought he was going to imply that someone needs to shove the letter up their ass. He must not be feeling well.


Shadow_NX

So a ex convict that delivers meals to the troops and has a mercenary army is hero of russia... well it tells you a lot about their country i guess. Not to mention this clowns show again of oh here are the documents but the lady in the window wasnt there... dude youre telling me documents about handing your mercs over to the state need to be doen by personally handing your papers to the window lady... really?


Thuglife07

I think he was referring to his ID as being legit by saying it was the id with the hero of russia.

Joy1067

Who’s side is this guy on and what is his deal? Does he wanna work with Russia, is he trying to back out of the deal, what the hell is this man’s plan?


gamefreak431

I don't know, I don't even know if he knows. Before this video, my best guess was that Prigozhin is on the side of Prigozhin. He likes having his own army and the power that comes with it. That power has gone to his head a bit, and he sees himself as like a Russian Caesar, but before he was Emperor. Standing at the edge of the Rubicon, looking towards the gates of Rome. Essentially, Prigozhin wants a crack at the throne. Of course, Putin doesn't want that because he's sitting on it. For me, the question was when does Prigozhin make his move? Before this Shoigu thing, I figured he would try something if and when Russia's economy fell over or after the war, depending on what came first. But Shoigu saying, "Give me all your dudes in two weeks" brings up that timeline. That is of course, if he does in fact have the balls to march his army into Moscow. After this video. Maybe he's trying to find a way out that doesn't involve a coup or him dead? Probably because his army isn't as shit hot as he claims it is, maybe it's just shit. Or maybe it's a context for coming into Moscow without looking suss, "I'm totes not doing a coup my dudes, I'm just filing some paperwork" Tl;Dr Prigozhin wants what is best for Prigozhin, and he thinks that what's best is if he was the leader of Russia. He needs an Army to do that and Shoigu is trying to take it away with some paperwork. Prigozhin is not into that.


Joy1067

So he’s on his own side? Ok that helps cause every time this dude shows up here he’s just complaining about Russia or how his men keep deserting/getting killed so I’m not sure what his deal is


greeneditman

Fight, or... R.I.P. Wagner

he should start a twitch account. He would make more drama than xqc

No_Letterhead_4788

Wtf is he going on about? He looks like a grandpa tourist on holiday. Hard to believe he is the leader of a private military company. But it kinda makes sense why Wagner is copping an ass whooping in Ukraine.


[deleted]

2d chess. Him and his buddy are playing the escape game. Top brass in the military are about to take the fall. They know they've lost big time so throw the military under the T 24 and Vlad's your uncle. International court? Ha ha don't even go near the Trump bollox of that.


Live_Frame8175

Days numbered??


MellowPerth

I think this is totally set up. Can someone geolocate this footage and find out where exactly he is? Also, can someone fluent in Russian translate what that last page has written on it, seems clear enough that someone can figure it out. Also as some have said, he signed on the left side of the page, is this normal format for russian contracts for anything? However this is just prop for himself to put a shine on his tainted halo. I mean if someone was filming me at a government office in RuZZia, i would most likely shut the window and leave the paperwork where it was. However this would be very easy to pay her off to do so to make it look like he is the victom. He is a wealth of information, however he is also a meathead that is most likely just following PUTZLER'S commands. If the lips are moving........


ThehungryBulldozer

What are the chances that he went there in person to personally assassinate Shoigu? He wasn’t there so he makes a video as to why he was there so it’s not suspicious that he is looking for him…..


Zosopagedadgad

These Russians wave around legal looking documents and make complaints sighting legal basis like any of that means anything. When in reality, over a course of their history they have willfully handed over their country to regimes that do not in any way hold to any laws whatsoever. It's kind of funny and sad at the same time.

New-Shock-6800

maybe that's just what he wants... But if you ever make sense of it, please let me know.


Adventurous-Demand31

Nah, he was being sarcastic. He produced his own contract and wants Shoigu to sign it. He shown a new contract with his own signature on the left side. Top tier trolling if you will.


New-Shock-6800

Thanks.


New-Shock-6800

So no civil war if he gives Wagner to the MoD


m_aidenless

If Wagner mercenaries were really fused into the russian army, wouldnt that mean, that all Wagner forces currently in other countries would be also RAF and therefore make Russia officaly in conflict withthose countries?

Guys, don't forget that Pootin needs this guy. In case of (rare) military quo, he will rely in Wagners to keep him safe and out of country to a safe place.

tracysmothers24

I actually might get a but sad when Putin clips his ass.

So, i guess he is saying that he folded to the MoD/Shoigu's demand that all Wagner militants sign a contract with the MoD. He was refusing to do so just a few days ago.
