As Vladimir Putin vows to hunt down traitors and “scum” who betrayed the motherland by opposing the war against Ukraine, the son-in-law of his very own defense minister has become a target.
Wagner Group founder Yevgeny PrigozhinAlexei Stolyarov found himself in Wagner’s sights over the weekend, when Russian media outlets discovered that Stolyarov—married to the daughter of Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, the man tasked with running the war effort—had apparently “liked” a series of anti-war posts on social media.
Prigozhin, almost immediately, hinted at revenge. Since Wagner fighters can’t “like” posts on social media like Stolyarov did because they have “torn off arms and legs,” he said, perhaps the thing to do would be “to take a sledgehammer and deal with it in an adult way, leaving humor aside.” Prigozhin took fresh aim at Shoigu’s son-in-law Tuesday when he was told that Stolyarov, “despite the scandal” celebrated his birthday in Sochi over the weekend.
Shoigu, now second only to “Ukrainian neo-Nazis’’ as enemy No 1. among pro-war Russian military bloggers, has faced calls to step down over his son-in-law’s apparent condemnation of the war .
