It's worth noting that after the de facto liquidation of the Wagner PMC, Espanyola remained the only "politicized" military structure in the Russian Federation.The brigade's core (like that of Wagner) was formed from proponents of far-right and neo-Nazi ideas. The brigade made no secret of its desire for political agency, promoting a nationalist agenda through its resources, and some of its representatives openly criticized Putin (although Espanyola later disavowed this criticism).Perhaps the Kremlin, mindful of the consequences of the politicization of the former "they-are-not-there" members of the Wagner PMC, led by Prigozhin, whose mutiny nearly plunged Russia into turmoil similar to that of 1917, decided not to tempt fate any further and nip Espanyola's political activity in the bud.First, Orlov was removed from command of the brigade. Then came news of the disbandment of "Hispaniola." And now "The Spaniard" himself, along with possibly several other unit commanders, has been killed.It's also noteworthy that, although news of "The Spaniard"'s death surfaced several weeks ago, none of the major pro-war Z-publics reported on it. This is evidence of the Kremlin's significantly increased control over the information space compared to the period leading up to Prigozhin's rebellion.
