I can’t read Russian
@Mr_Buscemi is right. It's about Prigozhin, the leader of the Wagner group and Putin's ex-best friend getting removed out.
Ever since the armed rebellion that he attempted the Russian state media apparatus and all of the millbloggers as a whole have been ordered to remove Prigozhin completely, to erase him from the public view.
And that is similar to soviet tactics from Stalin's time, where similarly erasures have been performed.
The most well known ones was the picture in which Stalin appeared next to Yezhov, Yezhov former chief of NKVD eventually fell from Stalin's grace, long story short he got a sham trial and later executed.
Thanks
