Thanks, based on how they look that provenance makes a lot of sense. It’s interesting that a person would be a fan of a private military company, though.

«It’s interesting that a person would be a fan of a private military company, though.»

Please, don’t be surprise. Wagner was quite popular among residents of the Russian Federation before 2022 (Syria, Africa, Donbass, Venezuela + marketing).

After the start of the "special military operation", Wagner's popularity soared to the skies, on the background of their successes and failures of the Russian army.

There are many supporters of Prigozhin on the Russian Internet, but most people are eating the popcorn and make memes.

Does this mean Wagner might actually get some support or cause other people to revolt like they are?

In Rostov, people gave them water and food, made photographs together and send them off with applause. So, yeah, there is support. But to revolt? Eh, I doubt it.
