Nevzorov stressed that no one has ever humiliated Russian generals like Prigogine. At the same time, the publicist added, the generals’ plans are unlikely to come true.
“I can tell you from personal experience: officially ordering an assassination is a wild bureaucratic burden in Russia. It takes so much to sign all sorts of bypass sheets, documents, bulletins and memoranda that in the end you spit [на это]… I think that the generals will simply be forced to abandon their idea, although this idea is now, of course, hatched in capital letters. And no wonder. Because the humiliation that Prigozhin subjects the generals to… No one has ever twisted them on the penis like that. And this goes for all the General Staff, the Minister of Defense and everyone else,” the journalist said.
He called Prigozhin “bald knight” and noted the growth of his influence on political processes in Russia.
“He has already become a global figure of federal significance, able to influence events and state policy. Pricher I can say that, of course, the main currents of hatred for Prigozhin come from Russia said Nevzorov.
He said that he, as the author of one of the most popular in the Runet Telegram channels (1.16 million people subscribe) are constantly sent “exclusive” on Prigogine.
“I am all whenever I get “packages” from everywhere, I always get exclusives from everywhere. I want to tell you that the main leaks in Prigozhin are from Russia. It was from there that his criminal cases leaked in full detail – about earrings for 50 rubles. and how he strangled, how much he was sentenced … That is, in Russia, of course, there is some kind of significant opposition [к Пригожину]”, – says Nevzorov.
The publicist added that, in his opinion, Prigogine is now “in a zone of great risk”, because it has enemies not only within Russia, but also outside it.
“And he who is surrounded by traitors – and he is surrounded by traitors, like any criminal character – of course, should not claim influence over US elections. This is the boldest statement. Because Americans have absolutely no sense of humor in this regard. These are not Russian generals, for whom ordering the official assassination of someone is a big bureaucratic headache, I would say. Americans care very little about Prigozhin – as an African villain, as a horror from the Central African Republic, as an executioner from Donbass, as a bloodthirsty ghoul. Absolutely nothing to worry about here. But if he confuses two blind Louisiana farmers who, because of his intervention, voted badly, then there will probably be retaliation. Retaliation will be almost guaranteed. No wonder they were so quiet. Because you should never take seriously situations that are preceded by threats. If someone threatens, you can’t be afraid of him. This is an absolutely iron law.” said Nevzorov.
