    It’s interesting how the BBC claims that Prigozhin was the sole founder of Wagner. Most news services don’t acknowledge Dmitry Utkin at all these days.

    And good news, he was listed on the passenger manifest as well. Another dead Nazi is always good news. It’s just sad that it took them turning against Putin for it to happen. They should have died years ago instead.

          Not really… Nazis fought to the outskirts of Moscow, and the USSR depended on lend-lease from the Americans to win the war.

              I sort of agree with you, but not quite. The Russians sacrificed A LOT of their own people to beat the Nazis. The weather, terrain, and German leadership disagreements had a lot to do with it. That being said, Russia really won the war with the Eastern Front and yes the Americans showed up late.

              The Russians didn’t beat the Nazis because they were particularly good, unfortunately. They had home field advantage, winters were terrible, and Russia was willing to sacrifice anyone necessary to win. They fight differently over there.
