Not only regular soldiers fight in the war in Ukraine. Both sides also rely on mercenaries. On the Russian side, the “Wagner Group” is active, whose right-wing leadership was inspired by Hitler’s favorite composers when naming it and recruited a horde of unscrupulous criminals in Russian prisons. On the Ukrainian side, there are Western ex-soldiers led by a retired US Navy colonel. Their name can be taken as a provocation towards the “Wagner” troops: “Group Mozart”.
The naming of the “Mozart” mercenaries had no effect: the “struggle of the composers” in Ukraine is a big topic in Russian military blogs. And the provocation has also reached the financier of “Wagner”, the oligarch Yevgeny Prigozhin, known as “Putin’s cook”. He grumbles: “It doesn’t matter what they call themselves, Mozart or Salieri, Schubert or Kirkorov (a popular Russian pop singer, take note), it brings neither strength nor other benefits to the military formations.” But what is the difference between “Mozart” and “Wagner”? Portrait of two mercenaries.
