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.
