'Many people would have been jailed twice over for saying a fraction of what #Prigozhin said, however he managed to remain free, and for a very long period of time alive, while still remaining a very vocal critic  And that drew a lot of people to him because many of them shared his views, wanted what they perceived as the truth to be spoken, but they could not speak it themselves. So there was prigozhin, this very loud person who would speak it for them.'
