Sumario:Abstract: The text has 2 major axis and objectives. First it seeks to compare the significance of the events in July 2023 with the Kornilov Affair of 1917 and the symbolic significance of a armed military mouvement inside Russia in almost exactly 100 years after the end of the civil war. The second axis is the construction of a history of PMCs and how the events inside Russia can influence the direction of this type of company in the future. To do this its first created a small history of the emergence of the PMCs and their business model until the creation of the Wagner Group in 2014, and how the use of Wagner PMC is a new strategy by Russian national state. To build the axis of comparison with the Kornilov, and the White movement as a whole, the small concrete facts about the events of July 2023 are analyzed using the speeches of Putin and Prighozin duirng the period of the rebellion.
