The Wagner Group has used infrastructure of the Russian Armed Forces. Evidence suggests that Wagner has been used as a proxy by the Russian government, allowing it to have plausible deniability for military operations abroad, and hiding the true casualties of Russia's foreign interventions."The group emerged during the war in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Donbas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Donbas</a>, where it helped Russian separatist forces in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Ukraine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ukraine</a> from 2014 to 2015. Wagner played a significant role in the later full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, for which it recruited Russian prison <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/inmates" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#inmates</a> for frontline combat. By the end of 2022, its strength in Ukraine had grown from 1,000 to between 20,000 and 50,000. It was reportedly Russia's main assault force in the Battle of Bakhmut. Wagner has also supported regimes friendly with Russia, including in the civil wars in <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Syria" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Syria</a>, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Libya" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Libya</a>, the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CentralAfricanRepublic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CentralAfricanRepublic</a>, and <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Mali" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Mali</a>.

petersuberSaving science and scholarship from maraudersI just finished Joshua Hammer's _Bad-Ass Librarians_.
