The Cheka-OGPU became aware of who completely controls Pavel Prigozhin, the heir to the empire of the leader of the Wagner PMC, Evgeniy Prigozhin. This is the new head of the PMC Security Service, Mikhail Vatanin (pictured). The former head of the Wagner Security Service, one of the ideologists of “beating off” heads with a sledgehammer, Vladimir Ryzhakov, mysteriously disappeared.

According to the source, Vladimir Ryzhakov once served in the Organized Crime Control Department, and in Wagner he was famous for his good connections in the FSB of the Russian Federation. It was he who “invented” different types of execution for “guilty” mercenaries. However, then Prigozhin himself parted ways with the FSB, but Ryzhakov did not. As a result, he was suspected of “excessive information coverage” of Prigozhin’s activities by the FSB of the Russian Federation. Ryzhakov was also charged with theft of funds allocated for technical security equipment. As a result, one day Ryzhakov left work, and in the morning no one could find him. And since then they have not been seen again. To date, its location is unknown.

Vatanin came to PMC Wagner at the beginning of 2023, but at first he was in the background as a security adviser. He became the head of the Security Service a month before the march on Moscow and actively participated in its preparation.

As the source said, after the death of the leader of the PMC Wagner, Vatanin put Pavel Prigozhin in a tight circle. Also, Vatanin, being a person experienced in intrigue, enlisted the support of those who could efficiently handle the main heir, by forming the necessary opinions on certain issues.

Also, do not forget that Vatanin controls the institution of nominal owners, which Ryzhakov organized. Those. Pavel has nowhere to go – assets that are registered in nominal terms can very easily flow away in an unknown direction.

Naturally, Vatanin is not a completely independent figure, but is influenced by people from Moscow.

Mikhail Vatanin is a former employee of the Central Internal Affairs Directorate for St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region, once worked in the criminal investigation department, and then headed the public security police in the Nevsky district of St. Petersburg and in the Volkhov district of the Leningrad region. The source says that Vatanin’s brother was a famous drug lord until he died in Thailand. It is believed that Vatanin’s patronage was provided by the former head of the Directorate of the FSB of the Russian Federation, Voronin, which is why he was tolerated in the Main Directorate, and then, when Voronin’s positions began to shake, he resigned.
