“Wagner PMC” in Syria as a fake troll
The uproar raised on February 7 about the unheard-of losses of the so-called “Russian PMC Wagner” near the Syrian village of Himam in the province of Deir ez-Zor stubbornly refuses to subside. People are not embarrassed by fakes that someone has planted online in the form of photoshopped images and videos from a computer game - a gunship simulator. No one is embarrassed by the vague dismissals of the American officialdom regarding the incident. The official statements of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, which say that there were no Russians in the convoy of Syrian troops that was attacked by the Americans, were ignored.

No one is even embarrassed by the fact that there is no place for any PMCs in Russian legislation. Instead, citizens who have fallen into agitation are pushing for an argument worthy of a teenager: “They are hiding everything from us!”
Everything, or not everything, but information about this mysterious “Wagner PMC” is leaked mainly by certain armchair warriors from the particularly knowledgeable, who know from cousins-in-law and second cousins-in-law of certain informed aunts from the agency One Baba Said, whose relatives drank vodka in the boiler room with one from PMC participants. The man showed the scar on his butt as proof and swore to his mother that he was Wagner’s right hand pouring.
However, judging by where the roar of the fake launcher is heard loudest and the most revealing screams can be heard, there is a reasonable suspicion that the stuffing was made and put on the Internet from the well-known ukrotroll factory, known as the 74th TsIPSO SSO of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, military unit A1277 from Lviv.
TsIPSO is the center of information and psychological operations of the special operations forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, an instrument of the notorious hybrid wars, the victims of which the Ukrainian leaders of the Maidan spill so love to pretend to be.
The center’s task includes the production and dissemination of rumors, fakes, the formation of “public opinion” on the Internet and the media, as well as the manipulation of mass consciousness. The office operates under the tutelage of Western intelligence services, and to be very precise, American intelligence services.

It is known, in particular, that in February 2017, the head of the center, Colonel A.P. Sergienko. sent out a circular to all its subordinate structures, which states the need to strongly support the version of the murder of Mikhail Tolstykh (“Givi”) by representatives of the military-political structures of the DPR, or specially abandoned liquidators from “Moscow curators”, as well as in every possible way to promote the topic of “draining Donbass by the Kremlin "
Hackers from the Sprut group managed to hack Colonel Sergienko’s email account and obtain a list of employees of the Lviv TsIPSO.

So, a list of losses of the “5th reconnaissance and assault company of Wagner”, consisting of 75 names, was thrown onto the Internet. It’s no longer 644 “from just one company” or even 200. Progress is obvious. However, a quick glance at it is enough for many questions to immediately arise. And the most important of them is why there are only purebred hare on the list. Not a single Ukrainian, Tatar, Caucasian or Central Asian.
Is this, excuse me, an elite Slavic-Aryan company, or what?
Particularly puzzling is the absence of call signs in the list, according to which militias, volunteers and other paramilitaries “know their own.”
A close study of the list of “reliably established losses” draws attention directly to the classic names and patronymics of some of the “dead”. For example: Kondrat Viktorovich, Valery Yakimovich, Bogdan Vsevolodovich, Anton Evseevich, Serapion Yaroslavovich, Alexander Aristarkhovich, Anatoly Mstislavovich, Gordey Anatolyevich, Yaroslav Evseevich, Eremey Maksimovich, Yulian Semenovich.
Serapion Yaroslavovich is powerful. Personally, I have never met a single Serapion in my entire life, even among the people who found the last king. Yulian Semyonovich also brings to mind certain thoughts about a military-political detective story. It is frankly surprising that the Akaki Akakievichs and Anempodistov Psoevichs are absent from the lists.
As attentive comrades have calculated, the list completely lacks the common patronymics Alexandrovich and Alekseevich, but there are plenty of Svyatoslavichs, Yaroslavichs, Mstislavichs, Vsevolodovichs and Rostislavovichs, recruited straight from the squad of the ancient Russian prince.
Film “Red Heat”, phrase: “Bring Tatamovich!”
It should also be noted that there are as many as eight namesakes on the second sheet of the list. Is your fantasy running out of steam?
However, the famous armchair expert and analyst El-Murid (Nesmeyan) does not hesitate to spread this Drevlyan tsidulka, who took it from the page of a certain Kyiv journalist Vladimir Moskalenko on the popular resource “KONT”.
Separately, I advise you to take a closer look at the military specialties of the “dead” squad. Among them you can find the presence of certain “section commanders”. Serapion Yaroslavovich, by the way, will be one of those.
Informed sources report that “This kind of formulation is used in the Canadian and US armies, but not in the Russian Federation. And also... (drum roll) in last year’s illustrated materials of the SBU “Russia’s use of Wagner PMCs in hybrid wars in Ukraine and Syria.” The names of several “ATGM section commanders” are listed there.
As they say, sapienti sat.
Personally, I have the feeling that this is still the work of TsIPSO based on basic material sent down from above by American curators. The guys have already moved away from inventing Tatamovichs and began to pull out patronymic names directly from ancient Russian chronicles, and full names from Russian classical literature.
From Moscow they report that the navalnyats have become more active, walking in twos and threes through hospitals and cemeteries with the aim of taking a census of recently deceased young people. Having encountered suitable information, the navalnyats diligently record it in their little book. From which it follows that another wave of stuffing of “lists of reliable losses” by PMC Wagner in Syria is possible. A similar practice already took place during the summer battles in Donbass in 2014. Remember how, in the battles against Ukraine, the entire football team, if I’m not mistaken, from Orenburg, was killed? It's only the beginning! The manipulators simply didn’t think to find old telephone directories in the waste paper – that’s where the fun lies!
