1/ This video sheds a new light on Yevgeny Prigozhin's plan to create a 'cock division' for recruited prisoners who have been serially raped. If the speaker is telling the truth, it suggests that Prigozhin himself may have been among the 'lowered' during his 13 years in jail.
2/ The 'lowered' βΒ also known as 'cocks' or the 'offended' β are the lowest rank in Russia's brutal prison caste system. They are treated as literally untouchable, except when they are being raped (for which they're fair game for everyone else).
3/ Because this caste system wouldn't work for military needs, Prigozhin has said that he is not currently recruiting cocks to fight in Ukraine but plans to create a 'cock division' in future to accommodate them (see below).
4/ There's some useful background here on what this ex-prisoner's tattoos indicate about his status in the prison hierarchy. Check out in particular posts #3 and #5 for some additional context. /end
