"It is necessary to legalize this heroic military formation," SR leader Sergei Mironov said on January 17. And this is on June 27: "How could it happen that a super-professional, well-armed group of people who were ready to go to Moscow, who came to Rostov, appeared on the territory of the Russian Federation?". In both cases, we are talking about the same "armed group" - the Wagner PMCs.

In the same speech made at the plenary session last Tuesday, Mironov suggested that the FSB investigate which of the "non-ordinary citizens of our country" were among those who left the country on the day of the military mutiny. And was warmly supported by the speaker and the Duma as a whole.

Here, for example, is what Mironov said quite recently in a congratulatory telegram to Prigozhin on him birthday (June 1): "You have long and rightfully gained public recognition... as a talented, purposeful entrepreneur, successfully working in many popular areas... They say about such people: a man of words and deeds... You are part of a cohort of real warriors, patriots of your country. I am glad and proud to know you personally." [...] And this is a quote from Mironov's March interview with the St. Petersburg online publication Fontanka: "I have known Zhenya for a long time... He is a great professional, and he has no political ambitions... Zhenya is doing business."

"And me too, and me too!" people shouted from different sides. Putin kissed the girl standing next to him and took a picture with her for a selfie. Other residents also "begged" for a selfie with the president. Putin stayed in the crowd for several minutes.
...
Since the beginning of the pandemic, the president has not "gone to the people"[...] However, after the mutiny, it was obviously important for the president to demonstrate unity with the common people."
