it literally says in that story

thanks to his obsessive fascination with the history of third Reich – [he] had received the nom-de-guerre “Wagner”.

alright so I traced the neopagan thing back to its source, and it looks like it ultimately came from Radio Free Europe, an interview with a Wagner commander. Obviously not everything that RFE publishes is false, but it's not really my favorite source to rest my claims on. It seems like all other reporting on Utkin being a neopagan comes from there. If you want to take a look, here (it's archived).

I think the neo-Nazi stuff rests on more solid ground though

The neopagan religion stuff (which is a pretty good signifier of neo-nazi ideology) and Wagner stuff does not come from the photo. There is evidence that he is a Nazi that has nothing to do with the photo. Idk, I feel pretty confident saying he's a Nazi.

everything I can find on Utkin says he was into Nazi and pagan shit, and that the name Wagner came from him

i thought a similar thing but it looks like they're also cracking down on people sympathetic to Wagner

Ukraine was bombing the Donbas since 2014. Is Ukrainian bombing okay?

copied from above

Dmitry Utkin (who was also on the plane) is definitely a nazi, and Wagner has a lot of links to far-right elements in Russia. Wagner itself is supposed to reference Richard Wagner, Hitler's favorite composer

so Prigozhin is definitely in bed with nazis but idk anything about his actual beliefs

If someone tells you they're not going to kill you, they're calming you down to kill you later

should've remembered this simple rule
