This is why I emphasized that Trotsky was a tragedy, while Prigozhin is a farce.
Both Stalin and Trotsky were genuine revolutionary ideologues, while Putin and Prigozhin believed in nothing.
However, the parallel in their historical images is too good to be ignored. I didn’t come up with this btw, some Russian communists already called this since last year, and it’s amazing how close the prediction came true - from their cult-like status from the military campaign, the ongoing feud with the state, to the coup, the exile, and finally their assassinations by the state.
Too early to call, my friend. Too early. So far this conflict has radically reconfigured the global geopolitical landscape, from the rise of BRICS and the fall of EU, to the accelerated effort of dedollarization and demilitarization of NATO.
It could very well end up as the most significant event of the 21st century that sparks the end of Western imperialism.
Nonetheless, the empire still stands strong, and will use every means at its disposal to strike back.
