Woe to those who make unjust laws, to those who issue oppressive decrees, to deprive the poor of their rights and withhold justice from the oppressed of my people, making widows their prey and robbing the fatherless. What will you do on the day of reckoning, when disaster comes from afar?

And yeah, even if 10% of Wagner-trained criminals will return home... It will be... entertaining... But I think the plan is that they simply won't come back.
Moscow is gonna need more cops...

How to keep criminals from committing crimes? Give them professional immunity.

Sounds like things might get interesting if those Wagner wankers come home.

Russian patriotic ladies should remember that it is impolite to say no to Wagner heroes (not that those people understand the concept of no...)

Dark jokes aside, It is terrifying what can happen in Russia with the likes of Prigozhin getting more power

I don't think there's much difference between the present situation - a crime gang running a nuclear nation, and any future dystopioan Russia run by former Wagner former convicts, in other words, a crime gang running a nuclear nation.

The usual chain of events when you send criminals to fight and murder (a.k.a. colonization), is that the criminals either become legit or get killed off by those that went legit (in both the source country and the target country).

It happens because the more dangerous the military special expedition is, the better the criminals become at being organized, and "organized crime" hates "crime".

The other option is that they become a paramilitary group at odds with their home state, which is what I expect Wagner to become the moment Russia stops backing them. They're going to either all end up dead or become something like the Freikorps that were running around Weimar Germany in the 20s/30s. Given their practices I imagine any convict sent to them is going to either be dead or be indoctrinated into their ideals by the time they would theoretically be free to leave.
