WORLD WORLDWIDE RUSSIA News Journal Update - (en) Russia, avtonom: How it all can end: "Trends of Order and Chaos", episode 111 (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

 Cook putsch ---- From Friday evening to Saturday evening in Russia there was ...

an armed rebellion. At the time of preparation of the text, Prigozhin's troops,
which had already approached Moscow, turned around and departed for their field
camps. Prigozhin is not a fool, he obviously received some kind of guarantees,
otherwise he would not have curtailed the rebellion. How the situation develops
remains to be seen. ---- Where will the criminal case brought against him about
an armed rebellion go? What to do with the missile attack allegedly inflicted by
the troops of the Ministry of Defense on the Wagner camp? He became the formal
reason for the rebellion, although evidence that there was a missile attack at
all has not been presented so far. According to the information available at the
time of writing, the Wagnerites shot down six helicopters and one plane of the
Ministry of Defense during the march to Moscow , the pilots died. There were
other skirmishes, explosions, fires and destruction along the route of the
Wagnerites. How this can be hushed up is not clear.

In general, Prigozhin at the head of Russia, how is that? While this is a very
hypothetical option, but you can dream up.

There is an option that he will not remove Putin, but will gain control over all
major areas. Possibly, Prigogine is not quite an independent figure. Girkin says
that Prigozhin is backed by the deputy head of the presidential administration,
Kiriyenko, and the Kovalchuk brothers, who are close to Putin. Other versions did
not surface. Then simply resources and leverage will be redistributed in their favor.

If Prigozhin removes Putin, there will be a fork in the road. Everyone remembers
the public execution with a sledgehammer, the most severe discipline and the cult
of death in the Wagner PMC, bloody assaults in the Donbass. There are all
prerequisites for Prigozhin to build even more fierce fascism than Putin.
Moreover, many Nazis work in Prigozhin's structures , this is a well-known fact.

On the other hand, Prigozhin is now using Navalny's slogan "do not lie or steal",
the day before the mutiny he recorded a half-hour video stating that the attack
on Ukraine was not in the interests of protecting Russians in Ukraine, but for
the sake of Shoigu's personal ambitions and prospects for enrichment of the
oligarchs.

The author of this episode of the podcast has been monitoring Prigozhin's
statements for about a year and cannot remember a single case when the "cook"
said that the war with Ukraine was necessary for some reason. He always spoke in
the spirit that, they say, when two villages are fighting, one must fight for
one's own. Prigozhin's rebellion was supported by Khodorkovsky. In principle,
when and if Prigozhin comes to power, he will have the option to arrange
negotiations with Ukraine. Perhaps even organize some kind of democratization in
Russia.

A scenario is also likely: when and if Prigozhin comes to power, a multi-year
slaughter will begin in the country with the prospect of secession of a number of
regions. Or other strong players will appear on the stage, who will move
Prigozhin, but for now they prefer to stay in the background. "Wagner" is not the
only one in Russia, there are now dozens of PMCs in the country. In general, any
person who removes Putin from the throne has at least the opportunity to stop the
war, start negotiations with Ukraine, which, perhaps, will be associated with
some kind of democratization. Anyone who is not Putin can write off February 24,
2022 to corrupt senile grandfathers.

Another option is that Putin continues to rule, everyone pretends that nothing
happened on June 23-24. Or even Prigozhin and the Wagnerites will be imprisoned
for rebellion. All the same, the prestige of the system was dealt a severe blow.
Prigozhin is the man who created a virtually parallel state: a powerful private
army, a wide network of businesses, a strong media holding.

Watch the first season of the Netflix series "Narcos" about Pablo Escobar, you
will find many parallels with Prigogine. People like Escobar and Prigozhin
realize themselves in a situation of weakened official power. And during the
"cook's putsch", everyone saw the real state of power in the Russian Federation.
Even if Prigozhin is fully punished for his daring stunt, it will be increasingly
difficult for Putin to continue to pretend to be the "father of the nation".

Putin's regime is so disgusting that, in general, one can welcome any movement
towards change. But one must understand that many of the possible scenarios are
even gloomier than they are now. And some anarchist version of the development of
events will be hypothetically possible only by our efforts. "No one but us,"
paratroopers say in such cases.

The fight goes on
Before the cooks' coup, the security forces continued to roll all the disloyal
into the asphalt. There is no doubt: nothing will change from Sunday. Recently,
the association of lawyers Agora, which provides lawyers for civil activists, was
declared undesirable. The Agora's ban, of course, will have a negative effect on
the lawyer's assistance to dissidents. The World Wildlife Fund has also been
declared undesirable. This is a signal to the gentlemen of the capitalists: you
can build any muck, and everyone who is for the environment is CIA agents.
In Rostov-on-Don , 40-year-old Anatoly Berezikov was tortured to death after
being detained for posting anti-war leaflets. Anarchist Ruslan Ushakov was
tortured in the same way - fortunately, at least he survived. In the Kaliningrad
region, a 64-year-old man with suspected cancer was imprisoned for eight years
for anti-war statements on the Internet . His 96-year-old mother is dependent on him.

Despite this daily darkness and horror, various anarchist activities continue in
Russia. Even on the day of the Prigozhin rebellion, a book fair and a concert
were held in Moscow with the participation of anarchists . Follow us on telegram
- news appears there promptly. There is also an option to help the Autonomous
Action media group financially, or join as an activist.

International meeting of anarchists
Who has a Schengen visa, a residence permit or a passport of a European country:
an interesting event will take place in Switzerland in three weeks. On the
occasion of the 150th anniversary of the founding of the first anti-authoritarian
International in the Swiss Jura region, an international meeting of anarchists is
planned. It will take place July 19-23 with a few days extension to allow enough
time and space for spontaneous meetings. Read more on our website .

Well, that's all for today! We remind you that in "Trends of Order and Chaos" the
participants of Autonomous Action and other authors give anarchist assessments of
current events. Listen to us on  YouTube ,  SoundCloud  and other platforms,
