It has been a month since Pierogi the Bald went on his merry drive to Moscow and its time to look back with clarity at what went down and what it means for the future of Putin's regime. It's a tale of the highest highs and the lowest lows of a man who made his life and then ruined it by hoisting the black flag on behalf of Vladimir Putin. So without posting spoilers for the Barbie Movie or Oppenheimer in the comments, because lets be honest that's what normal people are watching right now unless you're watching the cricket like me. Buckle in for the full story of Putin Vs Wagner.

Prigozhin finally got the ammunition he asked for! They were so kind to deliver them directly to his plane

In history, there's been countless attempts at coups succeeding, and countless attempts at coups failing, but I don't think there's ever been a case of a coup deciding to agree-to-disagree and go home peacefully.

Looks like Putin found the highest window possible for Prigozhin.

The area 51 raid had better logistics and made more tactical sense.

I love how everyone's reaction to first hearing about Wagner's Couptiny was the same as Rimmy's reaction to hearing about the VDV's unsupported assault on Hostomel; "Get off it, no one would be that stupid."

Small correction: While Wagner has made a name for themselfs as career war criminals, Bucha was not their work but rather that of the regular Russian Army

The moment when he goes "The worlds problems...begins with..." I expected him to shout: SHOYYYGUUUU!!!!!

I wouldn’t be surprised if we never get the full story of what exactly happened behind the scenes. Russian politics is so hard to understand even experts were baffled by this mutiny.

This reminds me a bit of what my grandpa on my dad's side used to say before his death "All things will come to light eventually, but it's the things that you try to hide that'll end up burning the brightest in the end." Wise words coming from a Vietnam Veteran.

LP just finished premiering a video, and now Animarchy? What an excellent day!

1 month later Pirogi would be assasinated by the Russian military.

1:06:12 - That flag waving crowd aren’t flocking to a big strong leader, that crowd consists of Moscow University students and Moscow state employees who were all unexpectedly given a compulsory afternoon off and bused without real choice to this Putin appreciation concert. Basically if you didn’t want to attend you were marked awol from class or work despite those both being closed that afternoon.

Even after seeing his gamble fail, Prigozhin was still like "Rush B! Do not stop, my friends". A true son of Mother Russia.

"defecation collided with oscillation" is probably one of the best things i have heard this decade.

Girkin ended up being the one who were arrested instead of Prigo is just a set of irony. 😹

And he’s dead…..

Well this aged like fine wine…

Speaking of MH17, the Russian Ministry of “Justice” just arrested Igor “Strelkov”Girgin today.

In the comments section for one of the NAFO Roundtable livestreams, someone brought up the joke in Red vs Blue where Griff sells off his team's ammo in reference to Russian shortages. In a similar vein, I am reminded of how season 13 opened: With mercenaries hiring reinforcements from a prison ship they took over.

Lazerpig on Wittmann and Animarchy on Wagner? This is W day it seems

Shoigu cut the rate of ammunition to Wagner but Wagner was by far the biggest user of ammo. Way above the MoD divisions. Just cutting their supply to the same as everyone else was a significant cut.

Wagner guy today has found the hard way the old axiom: "when you strike a """king""", you must kill him". Ralph Waldo Emerson.

please tell me im not the only one who noticed the poster at 28:35 with an image coming from a War Thunder trailer, right behind Shoigu

A Lazer Pig and an Animarchy video on the same day? We dinning fine tonight boyz

Coming back now that Pringles has died, I really don’t know what he was expecting

the whole prigozhin filming his rants had such C&C cutscene vibes, it felt like he was the ugly and more insane half brother of Kane xD

It was, in fact, not the full story

Well, in an entirely predictable twist, Prigo is now running a hotdog stand in hell. Good riddance

Wagner guys waving flags rather than the Russian one significantly reminds me of the entire Metal Gear series. Scary thought.

How pissed are you @Animarchy to have missed the arrest of girkin for a matter of hours before the video went online?

Anymachy and Perum are my two favourite vloggers because they both thoroughly research their topics then deliver them in a factual, satirical and humorous manner.

And as usual with Animarchy, as soon as he uploads, something else happens. Turns out Igor Girkin was arrested by the Russian Government and reportedly is going to prison for only 2 months as he was charged with article 280 part 2 of Russian Penal Code. "Organizing the activity of an Extremist Community" Quite ironic really.

Atlas Corp opening. The hat-tip to Advanced Warfare is more than appreciated. Very much underrated and overhated episode of the franchise.

1:08:28 - Likewise Girkin vanished into a cell within the last 24hrs. Those who felt they could criticise their boss for not putting Prigozhin on a public spike should now realise that Prigo still has $ cash value to Putin in the great game and they do not. I’ve said before that Stalin would have fertilised his garden with vlogger Z-radicals, Putin’s finally realised these guys could be dangerous to him.

The oldest profession wasn't what you think it was...Flint knapping was the first profession. It makes it possible for one person to specialise and develop skills (making sharp flints) enabling others to concentrate on what they are good at (killing beasties). Ladies of negotiable virtue can only come into the frame after those two professions are generating a surplus.

Putting fully combat ready tanks on the back of lowbeds so they can go faster is the most genius thing to pop out of russia in ages. I wonder if the pentagon is about to give oshkosh a brand new contract.

The eagle has landed, I repeat the eagle has landed straight into the ground.

This video takes a new turn after today

You had another video nearly ready, didn't you?

1:12 this aged very well 🛩️ 💥🔥💥💥🔥💥💥🔥

I think a part 2 is needed now….

*narrators voice* "it was not, however, the full story"

Fun fact, he “coincidentally” died today I believe

One plane crash later.

28:33 - WAIT Did they use frame from Warthunder trailer as an official image?

2:00 Whoever did the face-swaps to Shoigu and Prigozhin is a legend. I had to double-take to catch that

In that Valkyrie movie there is a scene where a communications officer is sending messages from both sides

Yesterday we got Barbieheimer. Today we got pignarchy!!

NOW: Putin vs Wagner: The Full Story two Months Later

We get LP and Animarchy back to back? Be still my heart!

great long-form analysis of both the mutiny and it's effect on the overall Russian situation. Very entertaining and informative. Thank you!

is anyone here after the News?

Ladies and gentlemen, we got blueballed.

This is the kind of coups that happens after RU-vid stopped showing downvotes.

One of Wagner's advertising posters actually used an image of two Australian special forces soldiers taken in Iraq. An American photo journalist took the photo. Of course, the Aussies both look like 7" giants and built like hulks, equipped with top of the line gear. Hardly what actual Wagner mercenaries looked like (HIV infected convicts who haven't eaten in days).

This entire war, if anything, has been a perfect example of the classic problem of long-term sustainability in an authoritarian regime, especially with regards to the military. When Putin took power as an autocrat, he was faced with a large, multi-ethnic nation reeling from economic turmoil, a mafia state, vast corruption, and existential fear of the US. He had no breathing room from the start. That’s why Russia has probably been the most prolific creator of propaganda for the past couple of decades. They both intensely celebrate the glory days of the Soviet Union and beat their chest about themselves now, which is why you see a lot of ultranationalist, alt-right movements pop up everywhere there. And yet, the inherently corrupt nature of Putin and his cronies means that they have siphoned billions, if not trillions of dollars from the state. And the military perfectly demonstrates that. On one hand, they maintain a lot of Soviet-era, generally older equipment because they love to boast about its supposed ruggedness and survivability when the reality is that they can’t afford to upgrade or develop new tech. On the other hand, they love to create wonder weapons for the parades like the Poseidon torpedo or the S-500 so that they can claim they’re the best at everything, when the reality is that they can’t afford to even develop and produce those weapons for general service. A good example within that example is the Moskva. They both lauded its supposed reliability and effectiveness as a remanent of the Soviet days while also promoting its refits and refurbishments as making it one of the most modern and advanced warships at sea, when in reality, they did not have enough money left after the corruption taxes to neither maintain it nor upgrade it. The only thing about authoritarian regimes is, they eventually buy into their bullshit. They lose the ability to distinguish between reality and fantasy, especially once they begin to age and come under threat. And with Putin facing a poor COVID response, further economic turmoil, widespread dissent inspired by Navalny, and the election of leaders like Biden, he clearly felt fearful enough that he bought into his own propaganda as a natural response. Otherwise, he never would have invaded Ukraine. It was never going to succeed with the state he had left the military in, and a more stable regime would have recognized that. That’s why Russia is failing. That’s why Bakhmut became a mass grave for an entire generation of Russians. That’s why Wagner was able to get so much power. And that’s why Moskva is sitting at the bottom of the Black Sea: they bought their own authoritarian fever dream bullshit, and they paid hard for it.

Small remark - as far as I know, Wagner was not in Bucha, it was mainly 64 motorifle brigade. And yes, Героям Слава! Eternal gratitude for Your support. You have no idea how much it helps. kudos from Kyiv.

Great video, but I can't overlook at least two things so far. First, with the MH17, Wagner involvement was minimal, if any. It was mosly the FSB op with the MOD assets. Refer to the Dutch investigation. Second, with atrocities in Bucha, Wagner seemed to participate as "instructors" of the atrocities, with the bulk performed by the MOD operators. Tho the investigation is still ongoing.

One correction that I feel is important. The investigation into the Bucha incident seems to reveal that it was elements of the 76th Air assault division that committed the atrocities, not Wagner. Again, I feel it's important because the perpetrators are for the most part still at large, and the right people deserve the blame for that particular travesty.

6:30am? Late night Slideshow man is mean enough but this is to far! My fellow Kiwilanders! We must stop this ethnic persecution by the evil Emulanders!

My favorite quote about this whole thing was from (i wanna say Perun) it went something along the lines of. "It didn't tell the others in power that Putin couldn't br challenged, only that you don't stop."

So Wagner is like the Bastard child of Nazi Germany's Werewolves, Hellsing's Millennium Organization, 40K's Penal legions, Metal Gear PMCs and Berserk's Black Dog Knights.

42:03 as a Red Storm fan, I collapsed laughing at this.

This was definitely very similar to the February 1917 Revolution. I can practically guarantee there will be an October 1917 Revolution very soon. The parallels are chilling.

Anyone else back here for a rewatch after ol' Pierogi's allegedly fallen out of the tallest window?

At least now you dont need to rewrite the script, so you can just make another video about how preggos plane victoriosly outran russian currency in its dive😂

Well looks like ur gonna have to do another video about the chef

Well guess what video needs a little update 😭😭

this on will blow up soon and we need a follow up

You missed the funny time they tried to overrun a US base in syria in 2018.

god dang it i can't remember what the ending song is, it sounds so familar but my brain is drawing a blank cause of the remix

Animarchy and Lazerpig posting on the same day? I'm getting spoiled

Rest in piss He won't be missed.

need a part 2 covering two months later…

i think this needs an update

Can't wait for the Su-57 video

When you’re taking your strategies from 40k lore you might be the baddies.

This video is one of the most in depth and down to earth analysis of the "coup" in ruzzia. So glad I found it. Great job!

Glory to Heroes! Glory to Ukraine!

Akward situation in the CAR , wagner is there and so is blue helments

I quess Prigozhin finaly got that ammo delivered to him

Funniest thing is that Rostov on Don remains the largest city occupied by Russian forces in their "special military operation".

I laughed, I cried, I cheered and I booed throughout the entire piece…what a ride!

Holy shit. This was actually helpful compared to the Frontline piece about the coup attempt. Good job mate.

And now the thick plotens

Punished Prighozin, man stripped of his ammunition

Well... time to expect yet another video

isn't the picture of the soldier behind shoigu at 28:35 from the live action trailer for war thunder??

First the Pig and then you ? Is it Christmas already ?

1:41 "i mean this time it wasn't the Ukrainians who've done it to me NO of all the people IT WAS WAGNER" best quote ever

And now Perogi is vapour, Shogi is benched, and a new oligarch is head of the MoD. New front launched, Bakhmut is just gone from the earth, and Russia are spending a man per metre of advance of Chasiv Yar. And awful lot happened since then, not much of it good.

Shoigu was just too powerful for Prighozhin. Shoigu plays chess while Prighozhin was skipping ropes

@AnimarchyHistory I heard an interesting tactic to use against Russian Logistics using their corruption against them: Have someone buy up all the Russian military equipment available online from any source no matter how disreputable, especially if they can be sourced back to any country helping Russia circumvent sanctions; thus giving anyone with access to Russian military equipment a great incentive to steal some and sell it online...

1:06:59 LOOOOOOL 😂😂😂

I'm surprised you didn't mention the time they picked a fight with American elites in Syria.

It's one month ago already?! Time flies.

Ok got the thumbs up for you just for Prigozhin face on spacey lol

"Yer, you know we're lying, but if we lie enough, it eventually becomes the truth." You're saying that like that's NOT what governments generally do.

How can you have a chapter called the final countdown without using the song? I'm disappointed in you.
