Prigozhin to convicts during recruitment: We need criminal talents. I myself served a ten before becoming a hero of Russia
A video appeared with another introduction by Yevgeny Prigozhin in front of the prisoners. He spoke about the entry criteria and working conditions at Wagner:
– Prigozhin called his PMC “a paramilitary organized crime group with tanks, planes and helicopters.” It works according to its own code, which differs from the laws of Russia.
– The best candidates for PMCs: people 30-45 years old “with a strict regime” and not with the first conviction. Preferably “those who have served a tag or more” or those who have the same term ahead. Special preferences are given to those sitting for murder, robbery, robbery or serious bodily harm. “If the administration or the cops ot *** dil – it’s even better.”
“We don’t take any kind of offended, omitted, and so on, we respect all concepts.” Those who were imprisoned on narcotic articles are taken “with care”.
– In PMCs there is training and even an “exam”: some recruits burrow into the ground, others “work” on them with real weapons. This is necessary for “baptism of fire”. Losses in the “exam” are 0.5-1%, and thanks to this “natural selection” the “most stupid” and those who did not want to study do not get into PMCs.
– Working conditions in PMCs: salary and bonus of 100 thousand rubles, and in the event of the death of a mercenary, the company gives 5 million. According to Prigozhin, out of 100 people, “10-15 will return in zinc,” and 20 people will be injured, five of them will not return to duty.
– There are three sins in PMCs for which they are “shot on the spot”: desertion, alcohol with drugs and looting. You also cannot have sexual relations with the civilian population.
“For those who turn into vegetables, we turn off the light.”
