YW, Civil discourse is what I'm here for :).

The Russian MOD kept the various pmc's for one of several reasons, the most obvious would be:

  • Absorbing the soldiers completely takes time (keeping the command structure in place partially)
  • This way they can keep separate pay structures (via the companies that founded them, other pay scales etc)
  • Marketing (foreign countries would not want Russian military on their soil, but via a PMC there is some form of "deniability")
  • The powers that be, have not come to an agreement on how to split up the carcass of the Wagner holdings across the world (apparently they hold gold mines and more).

But in the end all the various pmc's fall under the MOD umbrella now.
