Businesspeople From Russia

"The recipe for victory in the NWO: general mobilization for two million people, good army management and discipline, shooting deserters. It is necessary to make all the heads of defense enterprises military personnel so that the death penalty can also be applied to them. It is necessary to make the country a military monster so that there are more weapons than in North Korea."

"We have to finish building beautiful bridges, we have to finish making big theaters, new stages, we have to have everything focused on defense now."

"The Russian Defense Ministry is trying to deceive the President and the public and tell them there was insane aggression on the part of Ukraine and they were going to attack us together with the entire NATO bloc. So, the so-called "special operation" on February 24 was launched for completely different reasons. Why was the war needed? The war was needed so that a handful of scumbags could have a blast and get PR attention showing how strong the army is … The war was not started … in order to "demilitarize and denazify" Ukraine."

"On 24 February [2022] there was nothing extraordinary happening there. Now the Ministry of Defence is trying to deceive the public, deceive the president and tell a story that there was some crazy aggression by Ukraine, that - together with the whole Nato bloc - Ukraine was planning to attack us. The war was needed... so that [[w:Sergei Shoigu|[Sergei] Shoigu]] could become a Marshal, so that he could get a second Hero Star… the war wasn't for demilitarising or de-nazifying Ukraine. It was needed for an extra star."

"Today, seeing that we aren’t broken, they decided to launch rocket attacks on our rear camps. A huge number of fighters were killed, our comrades in arms."

"Shoigu just fled Rostov like a coward. At 21:00 he ran like a coward, like a girl. In order to not explain that, he ordered helicopters to destroy our guys, that’s why the rocket strike happened. This creature will be stopped."

"We’re 25,000 strong, and we’re going to get to the bottom of the lawlessness in this country."

"The details are becoming clear. The Defense Minister went to Rostov specially to conduct an operation to destroy Wagner Group. He used artillery and helicopters by dark to destroy us."

"This is no military coup. This is a justice march. Our actions in no way interfere with the troops."

"The majority of the troops support us strongly. We get messages like “Thanks, guys! Finally justice is coming to the army. You’ll finally get it so they give us ammunition and stop throwing us out like dead meat.” The information has just come in that the defense minister tried to hide 2,000 bodies stored in the Rostov morgue, so as not to show losses."

"[About his rivals in the Russian military] [W]e are going to figure out why the chaos is happening in the country. Anyone who wants should join. We need to end this mess."

"Everyone who will try to resist, we will consider them a danger and destroy them immediately, including any checkpoints on our way. And any aviation that we see above our heads."

"I'm asking everyone to remain calm, do not succumb to provocations, and remain in their houses. Ideally, those along our way, do not go outside. After we finished what we started, we will return to the frontline to protect our motherland."

"We are moving forward and will go until the end. All of us are ready to die. All 25,000, and then another 25,000. We are dying for the Russian people."

"Now the moment has come when blood can be shed. Therefore, realising all the responsibility for the fact that Russian blood will be shed from one side, we will turn our convoys around and go in the opposite direction to our field camps."

"Soon, he was cooking up a lot of trouble: His Internet Research Agency became a tool of Russian disinformation, helping to attack the 2016 U.S. election, and his Wagner Group became a tool for Putin to project power in Africa and the Middle East with a patina of implausible deniability. When Putin decided in 2014 to seize Crimea and foment an insurgency in eastern Ukraine, Wagner — full of former special forces operatives from the Russian military — was one of the instruments he used."

"The plane crash that took place in Tver, Russia on August 23, 2023, and caused the death of Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin, reminded the Uyghurs of their national grief of 74 years ago. A similar event took place on August 27, 1949 near the Russian city of Irkutsk, when Uyghur leaders were flying from Almaty to Beijing. Just as Putin’s decision to include Wagner in the national army was a cause for the recent struggle, Stalin’s decision to submit (ET) to the People’s Republic of China was at the origins of the 1949 plane crash."

"In recent months Prigozhin, former robber, convict, hot-dog seller, entrepreneur, Putin chef, Kremlin caterer, supplier of food to the Russian army, state-sponsored troll farmer, Trump and Brexit booster, who as recently as 2021 avoided attention and denied his involvement with Wagner, has pushed himself into the limelight. This is partly the result of the role Wagner has played in battles with the Ukrainian army in the small towns north-west of Donetsk, where well-equipped, experienced veterans of Russia's recent interventions in Africa and the Middle East alternate with squads of convicts used as human consumables to absorb Ukrainian fire with their bodies. And it’s also down to Prigozhin’s adept use of the social media platform Telegram to promote his evolving brand: the ruthless patriot, the rueful butcher, the hands-on manager of the people’s dirty work."

"I am firmly convinced that during wartime, traitors have to be destroyed! Today, no matter who says what, whatever fairy tales they are telling, a bullet to the forehead is the sole salvation for Prigozhin and Utkin."

"Prigozhin has earned a reputation as the cruellest commander among those leading Russia's grim invasion [of Ukraine]. He appeared to tacitly endorse a video showing the murder, with a sledgehammer, of a Wagner defector who had apparently been handed back by the Ukrainians in a prisoner exchange. "A dog’s death for a dog," Prigozhin said in a statement at the time."

"Gentlemen, we interfered, we are interfering and we will interfere."

"Carefully, precisely, surgically and the way we do it, the way we can."

"I will answer you very subtly, and delicately and I apologize, I will allow a certain ambiguity. Gentlemen, we interfered, we interfere and we will interfere [...] Carefully, precisely, surgically and in our own way, as we know how. During our pinpoint operations, we will remove both kidneys and the liver at once."

"Don’t booze too much, don’t take drugs, don’t rape women — only for love or for money as they say."

"You have learned a great deal — first of all: how to kill the enemy."

"Putin has "cut off communication with me to get me to stop asking for ammunition""

"In a legal sense, Bakhmut has been captured."

"We will kill everyone on the battlefield. Take no more prisoners of war!"

"Russia is on the brink of catastrophe."

"We need to stop deceiving the population and telling them that everything is fine."

"What have we even done? We’ve turned the Russian army – the second army in the world – into what? Who the **** knows. … What kind of army are we if we couldn’t even manage with itty bitty Ukraine?"

"It’s a complete mess everywhere, there’s no discipline. The army has everything, but there is absolutely no control, while there is an absolute paranoid gap between that which is happening in the trenches, and that which they know and think about in headquarters"

"Shoigu, Gerasimov, where the **** is our ammunition?"

"You **** sit there in your expensive clubs. Your kids are all getting off on life, recording their little YouTube videos."

"I will make sure they will bear responsibility for it."

"These are Wagner lads who died today. The blood is still fresh. They came here as volunteers and are dying so you can sit like fat cats in your luxury offices."

"What do you need to do with an organization that you consider a terrorist group? You must destroy the leader of the organization, basically me, of course."

"We are in such a condition that we could ******* lose Russia - that is the main problem. We need to impose martial law."

"I hate Putin's Russia, but love all Russians who are clearly against this crazy war!"

"I don’t see ANY beneficiary of this crazy war! Innocent people and soldiers are dying."

"The generals, waking up with a hangover, realised that they had a sh***y army. How can the army be good, if everything else in the country is sh** and mired in nepotism and servility?"

"I can't and won't be associated with a fascist country that started a war with their peaceful neighbour."

"I hope more prominent Russian businessmen will follow me, so it weakens Putin's regime and his economy, and put him eventually to defeat."

"Earlier this week, Hamas used w:Telegram (software) to warn civilians in Ashkelon to leave the area ahead of their missile strikes. Would shutting down their channel help save lives — or would it endanger more lives?”"

"I’m turning 41, but I don’t feel like celebrating."

"Every one of us is going to die eventually, but we as a species will stick around for a while. That’s why I think accumulating money, fame or power is irrelevant. Serving humanity is the only thing that really matters in the long run."

"In my 20 years of managing discussion platforms, I noticed that conspiracy theories only strengthen each time their content is removed by moderators. Instead of putting an end to wrong ideas, censorship often makes it harder to fight them."

"Language is simply another bullet in Russia’s hybrid war."

"Freedom is now in Ukrainians’ DNA. And the problem is that the Russian elite does not understand this."

"America is not really a strong enough state for us to regard it as an enemy of Russia. We have a strong government and are a nuclear state. Even if our government was completely destroyed, our nuclear missiles would be automatically deployed. We will put the whole world on its knees and screw it from behind."
