Already wrote about him. Still small touches to the portrait. Wagner - a military colonel, not a parquet one, spent most of his service in hot spots. Probably began service in the internal troops. In 2001-2003, he studied in Moscow at the Combined Arms Academy of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation (the military officers also studied there), apparently by this time he was a captain or major. Upon graduation, he served in the 33rd OSN "Peresvet", which is structurally part of the 55th division of internal troops, became a commander there. The size of the detachment "Peresvet" was from the regiment. In the first photo, Wagner is in command of Peresvet, in the second, he is preparing a special operation. 
Was a deputy commander and acting. commander of the 55th division, since 2010 he headed the 604th TsSN "Vityaz" (formed on the basis of the old "Vityaz", "Rus", included fighters from other similar units). In the first photo, 2012 on the parade ground in Balashikha, in the second photo at a solemn meeting . 
He has extensive experience in conducting combat and counter-terrorist operations in the North Caucasus, including in Chechnya, could not help but intersect with Igor Girkin-Strelkov, who could not help but know him as the commander of Peresvet and Vityaz, since the special forces of the FSB and VV are constantly contacted, it was no coincidence that he said that he "knows more about this case, but will not talk," 604 TsSN made on the tracing paper of the FSB special forces. That's what they are armed with. 
Various generals came to Novorossia in order to suppress and remove objectionable (read poorly managed) militia commanders. But those were all the parquet generals who received their stars while serving in the "Arbat Military District", they were only suitable for pressure. And for the cleanup, a person with the experience of Wagner and the combat resources of the special forces was needed. How could you hit your own with such weapons? "The order is not discussed." Knowing well the personnel of "Peresvet" and "Vityaz", Wagner could easily pick up those who, on orders and for good money, would shoot their own mother. And since, since September 2014, Wagner served in the Caucasus as deputy commander of a joint group, he probably brought speznaz members to Novorossia not from Balashikha, but from among those "knights" who served in Dagestan and Chechnya in order to less inherit. And the main task of all these "divisions named after Dzerzhinsky", "Peresvetov", "Vityaz" and other numerous special forces is to be ready to defend the current government and fight with their own people, which was clearly shown by the events of 1993.

The murder in Novorossia of Alexander Bednov - "Batman", the hero of the defense of Lugansk and his people was organized by this man. Vagner Evgeny Vladimirovich, born in 1971 Probably - a hereditary "chekist". All his devoted dog life is connected with the internal troops, the division named after Dzerzhinsky. The division was first renamed, but this year the name of Dzerzhinsky was returned to it. He headed the special-purpose detachment "Peresvet". Orthodoxy came into fashion, and Wagner went to the forefront here too. 
True, colleagues say that he sometimes wore his maroon beret on his dog) 
Then there were reorganizations, connections with other detachments, as a result, 604 "Red Banner" special-purpose center "Vityaz" was obtained, which he headed (in the photo, Wagner is on the left in a beret in the Dzerzhinsky division in Balashikha at some Vertukhay anniversary). 
He graduated from the combined arms academy of the Ministry of Defense, headed the 55th division of the internal troops, from September 11, 2014 he was appointed deputy commander of the united group in the North Caucasus. Married, two daughters. He received a 4-room apartment from the state, multimillion-dollar income, has an expensive jeep. But he had to work off his Judas money with dirty deeds: his North Caucasian experience came in handy, where he "l personally planned and carried out 33 special operations in Dagestan to eliminate bandit groups, destroy their infrastructure, and cut off channels for the supply of weapons, ammunition and explosives. He showed great professionalism and courage. A unit led by Colonel Wagner killed 17 terrorists." http://kavpolit.ru/articles/na_vojne_radi_mira-9748/ . I think that Wagner did not bother there - he shot cars from flamethrowers that fell under his arm, and declared the dead "leaders of the underground"). Now he has been sent to Novorossiya to "cleanse" it from prominent leaders of the militia who do not agree to leaking the "project". By his order, the "Batman" group was shot from an ambush with flamethrowers (this "maroon beret" was afraid to fight honestly). 
Such Wagners and other "knights" will kill Russians in Moscow too - when the Putin regime staggers.
The latest news from Donbass says that in the "DPR", near the village of Ozeryanovka, the leader of the "private military company" Yevgeny Vagner and one of his fighters were liquidated in the course of an operation to neutralize militants not controlled by the "authorities". This is reported by the Technosotnya resource.
Wagner was suspected of involvement in the murders of the leader of the gang of militants "LPR" "ghost" Alexei Mozgovoy and "Cossack" ataman, commander of the sixth separate motorized rifle Cossack regiment Pavel Dremov.
It is reported that 4 women were found in the basement of Wagner, who were kept in inhuman conditions, and in the backyard - the corpse of a man with bullet holes in his legs, who was the father of one of the captives. The MGB DPR stated that the “Wagner gang” traded in kidnapping girls and reselling them into sexual slavery.
However, Russian blogger Andrey Chernukhin writes in his LiveJournal that there are two different person- with the call sign "Wagner" and the surname Wagner.
“They were often confused. One Eugene, call sign "Wagner", soldier of fortune, his own PMC "Wagner". Little is known about him. “The well-known condottieri from the Wagner PMC were extremely restrained in communicating with journalists, but they shared some of their knowledge. According to them, the "Slavic Corps" as a single unit ceased to exist in October 2013, when the commanders went under arrest, and the fighters dispersed to their regions. Again, they returned to the service already to another customer. They were called by a colleague who turned from a fighter into a commander - Wagner, ”wrote Chernukhin.
The second person is the Russian Major General of the Internal Troops Yevgeny Vagner.
“He has nothing to do with the PMC of the same name. A man with the call sign "Wagner" did not serve in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but in parts of the GRU special forces of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces. The last place of service was the commander of one of the separate detachments of the Second Separate Brigade of the GRU General Staff, which is stationed near Pskov. Retired as a Lieutenant Colonel. He worked under a contract with the Moran Security Group, guarding ships in dangerous areas from pirate attacks. In September 2013, together with the Slavic Corps, he visited Syria for the first time. Then he was not yet a commander and was not a Wagner. He took a pretentious call sign after a Syrian business trip. As his colleagues say, “the roof flowed”: “I turned on the German theme. I imagined myself to be an Aryan." The first work was allegedly in the Crimea: "Group" Polite people". They disarmed Ukrainian bases, established Russian order.” This work is remembered with good nostalgia: they paid a little, but the climate is pleasant, not to live in a trench, and the risk is nominal. The idyll did not last long, soon the Wagner PMC began work on the lands of the self-proclaimed Novorossia, ”the blogger noted.
Chernukhin believes that it was not the Wagner PMC that took part in the purges of militants in the Donbass, but detachments of special forces of the Interior Ministry of the Russian Federation led by Major General Yevgeny Vagner.
“General Wagner has everything at his disposal, including aircraft. Wagner, in quotation marks, had a small group of fighters as frostbitten as he was, but he did not have enough forces and means for serious operations, although he could clear out some of the smaller field commanders. Wagner is no longer in quotation marks. And if Wagner, without quotes, is also cleaned out, then by a heart attack, and not just shot, like his colleague, a soldier of fortune, ”said Chernukhin.
