Revenge on group Wagner – What is known about ex-commander Andrei Medvedev

Date:

The ex-commander of the mercenary group Wagner, Andrei Medvedev, has fled to Norway and hopes for political asylum there (we reported). Last summer he went to Ukraine to fight. He tells of the executions of Ukrainian prisoners of war and Russian soldiers who refused to take up arms.

As Gulagu.net describes, Andrei Medvedev broke his silence and tried to leave the Wagner group. As a result, he was immediately expelled for investigation. Medvedev describes in a video that on July 6, 2022 he signed a four-month contract with the Wagner group. After the four months, Medvedev wanted to end his military service – the senseless war, the “stupid orders” and the arbitrariness of the military leadership had frustrated him too much. However, the decision was made over his head to extend the contract to eight months. When the mercenary complained, he was “put in a pit”. From there he managed to escape to Russia.

Abandoned by the state
Medvedev is 26 years old and was born in Tomsk Oblast. He grew up in the orphanage. He states that he never received the apartment for orphans to which he was entitled from the state and, in general, never received anything as a gift. However, he declined to reveal more about his background.

“If they catch me, they’ll take me out”
After he left the Wagner group, reprisals began and the Russian Interior Ministry and the FSB were also looking for him.

“If they catch me, they will take me out,” the former Wagner mercenary told Gulagu.net. “Either they execute me or they shoot me. I don’t know how far their imaginations go, but I certainly won’t survive,” said Medvedev.

Prisoners recruited for the war in Ukraine
In the summer it became known that members of the Wagner group and even their boss, Yevgeny Prigozhin, had personally recruited prisoners for the war in Ukraine. In return, they were promised a release from their sentence, but at the same time warned that they would pay for their desertion with their lives.

“I have witnessed several such moments, I have observed such executions. They were brought especially before other prisoners and executed in public – to intimidate the others,” said Medvedev. Not only “refusers” were punished with death, but also Ukrainian prisoners of war – they gave them the “necessary information” and then killed them.

key role in research
Medvedev himself admitted to Gulagu.net that he hoped his information would play a key role in the investigation of the Wagner group.

“I really hope that what I have written and what I am going to tell will help many mothers, sisters, brothers, daughters and children find their husbands,” he continued. “And maybe they also help to get revenge on the Wagner group for the death of loved ones,” he concluded.
