While Prigozhin's fate still remains a mystery, there is one name and one face that is more than others associated with the Wagner mercenary company. He is Dmitry Utkin. A former GRU officer and a personal friend of Putin, Utkin is not only already one of the leaders and founders of the mercenary company, but was the one who was leading the group to Moscow.
To understand Uktin's role in the Russian crisis, the tape of his and Wagner's history must be replayed. The origins of the group date back to 2011, when Moran Security Group began operating in Russia, a company specializing in security services for companies operating outside the borders of Russia. In 2013, another company was born from the Moran group, the Slavonic Corps, which is tasked with recruiting and training soldiers who are sent to war zones. Recruits are trained in Syria in Latakia, at the Khmeimim airbase, managed and operated by the Russian armed forces. From there they are then sent to areas where it is necessary to protect Russian interests. And it is at this point that the Kremlin's politics became involved in the war in Donbass, and this is where Uktin comes into play.
In 2014, the Slavonic Corps which was based in Hong Kong was disbanded and a group of mercenaries was reorganized under its leadership. As a former GRU officer, Uktin is instrumental in Wagner's birth. If at that time Prigozhin was basically the financier of the group. Uktin was an ardent admirer of Adolf Hitler and the composer Richard Wagner, from which the mercenary group took its name.
Although Putin has tried to justify the invasion of Ukraine as a war of "denazification", the Wagner group itself has pro-Nazi political connotations. The few photos circulating online of Uktin are enough to dispel any doubt: a clean-shaven, tight jaw and the symbol of the SS - Hitler's personal militia - tattooed on his shoulders, 52 years old and a physique or a face to scare, Uktin is the perfect portrait of a paramilitary with a Siberian temperament. A cruel and merciless soldier. However, in other, older images, he is seen wearing a dark suit and a smug smile at a gala dinner in Moscow, where, according to independent Russian media, he assumed the business role of a company director. hotel, for Prigozhin's account. / Pamphlet
