‘Purge’ Of Commanders Starts In Russian Army

‘Purge’ Of Commanders Starts In Russian Army

The details have been published.

After the shooting (which has already been called a real execution) of the famous neo-Nazi and the captain of the occupying army Igor Mangushev (call sign “Bereg”), a scandal erupted in Russia. It's one thing to die in battle, but it's quite another to get a bullet in the back of the head from your own comrades. And the invaders certainly were not ready for this.

OBOZREVATEL writes more about this and other cases.

“Executed” by his comrades

The loudest event of recent days in the occupying army was the news of the “neutralization of Bereg”. The captain of the 4th brigade of the 2nd army corps of the 8th army of the RF Armed Forces Igor Mangushev was, according to his wife, actually executed in Kadiyivka (formerly the city of Stakhanov) of the Luhansk region by his own people.

It happened on the night of February 4.

“Igor “Bereg” Mangushev was taken to the neurosurgery in Stakhanov, LPR, with a blind gunshot wound to the head. The doctors give the following information basing on the nature of the wound: it was made from a short-barreled weapon, a bullet presumably 9 mm, at close range, in the occipital-parietal area, the wound channel from behind down at 45 degrees,” the occupants quoted one of the invaders who fought in the same unit as Mangushev.

The nature of the wound received says that most likely they were shooting at a time when “Bereg” was on his knees. True, the performers didn’t do it properly — they did not check whether he survived. But the doctors have already given a negative prognosis, so Mangushev will most likely die soon.

After the statement of Bereg's wife, who reported that her husband was not transported to a place where he could be operated on, the occupation channels stuffed information that this happened at a checkpoint, and Mangushev allegedly almost tried to arrange a “breakthrough”. However, getting a bullet in the back of the head, and even at such an angle, is unrealistic in a car.

Many inconsistencies in the circumstances of the attempt on Bereg, as well as the fact that “no investigative actions are being carried out”, angered Bereg's colleagues. According to rumors, all this is because the “Kadyrovites” may be involved in what happened — it is they who “manage” the territory of the temporarily occupied part of the Luhansk region.

Earlier, Mangushev became notorious by posing with the skull of the defender of Mariupol — as you can see, jokes are bad with karma.

Karma is not something to be trifled with

In early February, it became known about another “incident” that occurred already in the Donetsk region, not far from the occupied regional center. Sergei Polyakov, commander of the 14th Separate Guards Special Purpose Brigade of the RF Armed Forces (military unit 74854), was killed.

This military formation is subordinate to the Main Directorate of the General Staff of the RF Armed Forces, commonly known as the GRU. The brigade’s servicemen had previously “gained fame” in two Chechen wars and in Syria, and in 2022 they were identified during a full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

So far, there is little information about the death of brigade commander Polyakov, but among “their own” they also talk about “purge”.

No more red lines

Today, in the Russian army, attacks on commanders by mobilized Russians and “Wagnerites” are already in full swing. Angered by the stupidity of the command and poor orders, the “warriors” began to “raise their heads”. But the main reason is the fear of becoming cannon fodder.

Attempts by the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation to hide the losses failed miserably. Because you can talk as much as you like about the false data of the enemy, but the fact is obvious: social media are full of photo and video evidence of how thousands of Russian military personnel are systematically turning into “cargo 200”.

Fierce battles for Bakhmut, where the occupation command pulls new batches of cannon fodder, horrify both the “mobilized newbies” and the “Wagnerites”-prisoners. And it is not surprising that it was the Donbas that became the site of the first cases of Russian attacks on their own commanders: in mid-January, two were already liquidated by their own soldiers.

As you can see, the trend is obvious and the words “now it's scary to turn your back to someone” have pretty good reasoning.
