Russia’s pro-war internet czar hails Prigozhin before issuing ‘veiled call to arms to his followers’
RUSSIA’S pro-war internet czar Ekaterina Mizulina hailed Yevgeny Prigozhin and then appeared to issue a veiled call to arms to his followers.
Prigozhin ran a huge internet troll business pumping out propaganda from his home city of St Petersburg as well as his mercenary group and catering empire.
And he was saluted by Mizulina yesterday - in condolences coupled with a veiled call to arms to his followers.
Stunning blonde Mizulina, 38, has won an army of fans after branding Russians who disagree with the Ukraine war ";crowing roosters" and claiming those who fled “cleansed” the country.
She ranted “First, we will clean up Ukraine from the Nazis and bandits, and then we will get to Google and Wikipedia.”
She praised Prigozhin yesterday as floral tributes honouring him grew in his hometown St Petersburg, where he was hailed as a martyr and true patriot.

Mizulina - head of Russia’s Safe Internet League set up to censor online posts - said: “ A great patriot of Russia has left us.
“You can treat his activities in different ways, but he fought as best he could for the country.
“God grant that those whom he brought up continue to follow the path of protecting the interests of our Motherland.”
