Former mercenary of PMC "Wagner" predicted hostilities on the territory of Russia

In the interview, former mercenary Gabidullin predicted today's events on the territory of the Russian Federation, as well as told what PMC "Wagner" is from the inside and declassified who it really belonged to. The video was published on 12 March on RAMINA's YouTube channel.

We offer you the most interesting fragments of the issue:

Marat Gabidullin told who actually owned the PMC "Wagner".

The so-called PMC "Wagner" has never actually been a private company. This abbreviation, in my opinion, has nothing to do with this structure. All necessary for the conduct of war, this brigade of mercenaries was provided from state arsenals. This project is the result of joint efforts of Prigozhin's corporation and the Russian Ministry of Defence. The latter not only provided the territory, the training ground, the location of the base camp of mercenaries, it also provided the brigade with everything necessary for the conduct of the war - weapons, equipment, machinery, everything came from the Ministry of Defence. The main and only owner was the president of the country. All instructions came from him. The purpose of the formation was to maintain the viability of the Novorossiya project. Otherwise, "LNR, "DNR" could not resist the AFU, because they would have been simply destroyed, this problem would have been solved at the first stage, the AFU would have simply forced them out, but they were provided with weapons.

"People didn't want to live in the LNR," Marat Gabidullin.

We were in one village, it was three quarters abandoned, there were few people living in the settlements, many people had left and not necessarily to Russia. I learnt that most of the people there had fled to the west, they didn't want to live in the "LNR". In the Luhansk People's Republic, the word "people's" is only in the name. It was such a military junta that had access to weapons, and the locals were under the influence of 'Stockholm syndrome.

"Everything was built on fear" - Marat Gabidullin about Prigozhin.

Prigozhin is a supporter of totalitarian ways of business management, which are based on strict subordination and discipline. He was not ceremonious with people, everything there was built on fear, he was really feared. When he came into the office, most of the staff started to tremble. There were several people in our department, even my manager, waiting for the call, was visibly nervous, vibes of fear were flying in the office. I wasn't afraid. Prigozhin was not aggressive towards me, did not humiliate me. I worked for four months. It was an office, and I am not an office worker. There was a position in the PMC Syrian, created by Prigozhin, it was staffed by Syrians. I offered my candidature, and 2018 was in Syria. This year, I formed a clear attitude that my mission as part of this group has come to an end.

"This is a disaster for Russia" - Marat Gabidullin about the war in Ukraine.

In 2021, one of my acquaintances, who had something to do with the creation of PMCs, offered me to join the formation, when it was not yet fully clear what the direction of its activities would be. I agreed, but as soon as I realised that after training the mercenaries would be transferred to Ukraine, I refused. It is not acceptable for me to participate in military actions in Ukraine. Until 24 February I did not believe that it was possible, I rejected even a single opinion that the Russian government would carry out a full-scale invasion and invasion war against Ukraine. It is obvious to me that this is a derailment, this is a great misfortune. This war will not only turn out to be a disaster for Ukraine, but for Russia as well. Russia does not need a war, and as if the Russian leadership were thinking about rational decisions, they would not have gone for this adventure. They are simply detached from reality.

Marat Gabidullin told why PMC "Wagner" could not refuse to participate in the war in Ukraine.

PMC "Wagner" could not refuse to participate in these hostilities. Prigozhin stated that he showed his desire on personal initiative. The first units of mercenaries took part in the first stages. But this is him being sly, he could not distract himself from participation in this war, because everything was always led by the Russian president. But Putin let it slip out of control because of certain circumstances, the issue of uncontrolled growth of the capacity structure and army corps. As soon as hostilities began, it became known that the army was not ready for war, could not fulfil its tasks. They developed the Bakhmut operation, which was then called the Bakhmut meat grinder. The idea was to influence the defence on one section of the front by constant attacking actions, to attract more forces of the Ukrainian army, not to allow activity on other sections of the front. To attract the main potential and sell the defence, to give the Russian army a chance to recover, regroup, prepare a reserve, a mobilisation resource, to build a line of defence.

Marat Gabidullin named what the losses of PMC "Wagner" actually were.

Prigozhin himself once said that the losses in the PMC "Wagner" were huge, from 20-30 thousand. For example, the cemetery, which was in the memorial centre, there was a fenced area and a church. There were no burials there, and after the "Bakhmut meat grinder", they needed not only this plot, but they invited an additional plot, where they buried only unclaimed military, who did not know where to send, because most had convicts, who were recruited from prison.

"The prank of PMC "Wagner" offended Putin" - Marat Gabidullin on the death of Prigozhin.

There is still no direct evidence that it was on the orders of the President of the country, Russian structures. Perhaps... Prigozhin hurt Putin badly, the antics of PMC "Wagner" offended Putin, he showed the weakness of the system. Prigozhin came close to Moscow, and no one twitched, everyone was ready to accept this situation, everyone fled.

Marat Gabidullin told when the war would end.

Putin has made it clear that as long as he is in power - it will be an endless war, he can only "last" in a state of war, it is his way of survival, to be in power, but, I believe, certain events must happen that even dumb-headed "Z-patriots" will realise, that enough is enough, somehow we have to get out of this difficult situation, and we have to stop with this one-man rule of this president, who has lost touch with reality, who lives in his cocoon, his bubble.
