Various oligarchs are rising their own private armies, Gazprom has multiple now.
Strelkov says he has an arrest warrant on him for "insulting Russian Army" (a criminal offense since 2022). Prig answered to him he won't be able to recruit him from prison as he'd been barred from doing that because the Russian Army is now recruiting the convicts. I think he should give himself up to The Hague, where he's been already convicted and where the prison is comfy.
Strelkov's been trying to join the war last summer, raise his own militia like in old times, but he visited the front for few weeks before declaring all is lost.

If Russia is as weak as they claim, secretly funding those could be how the CIA takes Putin out. Instead of the stick approach of stealing all the millionaire's yachts and bank accounts, go for the carrot and bribe them to side with the west.
They're very good at killing each other, like yesterday Russian air defense shot down 2 Russian Mi-8s and 1 Su-34 and probably another 1 friendly aircraft all within just 3 hours (according to Wagner associated sources, that are now indistinguishable from Strelkov in total dooming all the time). If they start literally fighting for power, well, the extended Russian Civil War 1917-1923 killed nearly as many people as the entire WWI anywhere (very roughly speaking, estimates for both vary). Even if relatively few of them from actual combat, many more form murder and just total collapse and the ruthless "economy" of War Communism that alone killed about 5 million civs.
The Pobeda parade featured Russia's last available tank, a T-34-85 originally made in Czechoslovakia and exported to Laos. There were no other tanks.
Prig also publicly called Putin a "total dickhead" on the same day (and lives).
Another Prigozhin oligarch (no relation) called Putin "a fucking Satan" (https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2023/03/27/elites-allegedly-insulting-putin-in-phone-call-cause-sensation-in-russia-a80625), also lives.
