This episode of the Shawn Ryan Show features Marat Gabidullin, a former Wagner Group commander, and journalist John Lechner. Gabidullin details his extensive military career, including his time in Soviet airborne forces, his imprisonment, and his deep involvement with the Wagner Group. He recounts his combat experiences in Syria, particularly the Battle of Kaan against US forces, and discusses the group's global operations, recruitment tactics, and internal conflicts, including the prisoner recruitment for the Ukraine war. Lechner, an expert on Russian PMCs and author of 'Death Is Our Business,' provides context and analysis on the rise and fall of Wagner and its implications for private military warfare. The discussion touches on Prigozhin's ambitions, the march on Moscow, and Gabidullin's eventual disillusionment and departure from the organization.
