Political scientists commented on the verbal duel that took place between the governor of the Sverdlovsk region Yevgeny Kuyvashev and the founder of Wagner PMC, businessman Yevgeny Prigozhin.
Let us recall that on the eve of Kuyvashev, he sharply commented on Prigozhin's dissatisfaction with the actions of the Yekaterinburg authorities. “If every businessman who makes money from school meals tries to run the country, we won't get very far. You cook steaks and pasta, and we in the regions will figure it out ourselves,” said the governor.
In response, Prigozhin said that Joseph Stalin “simply shot people like Kuyvashev”.
“If Yevgeny Kuyvashev made such a statement about Prigozhin, it means that he is sure that it will pass without serious consequences. ” – expressed the opinion of political scientist Alexei Shaburov. His words are led by E1. Shaburov added that the governor may have decided to react harshly amid rumors of Prigozhin's understanding problems with Russia's Defense Ministry.
Poliologist Sergei Markov admitted that Kuyvashev could be fired following the scandal. According to him, Prigozhin has recently become an important person for radical patriots. But it is difficult to support Prigogine directly. Therefore, according to the expert, they support him by attacking those who attack Prigogine.
