Russia’s
Group Wagner part 2 and 3 of Wallenstein’s trilogy: Wallenstein’s Death
The
drama surrounding Yevgeny Prigozhin, the Wagner Group’s owner, took 2 months to
play out. We went through Friedrich Schiller’s trilogy as if the same script
applied to Wallenstein and Prigozhin.
First
there was conflict and an open rebellion against the Czar. And the Czar
got quite angry.
Episode
2 is the betrayal, and a fake pardon and the exile to Czar friendly Belarus.
And Prigozhin’s review of loyalties among his troops in Africa and elsewhere.
There probably were many Piccolominis shadowing him around the world.
In the
epilogue Schiller’s Wallenstein is murdered in his bed. He couldn’t know about
the end of the 2023 version. He didn’t know that in 2023 you could fall asleep
on a flying machine called a plane and fall out of the sky. Otherwise, the
similarities would be perfect. Perfect, sad, and worrisome.
