Composer Mercenary Groups

 Hi All,

To coup or not to coup? One of my Russian relatives in her typical Russian humour complained that if they were going to have a regime change led by a Chef and a Mercenary Group, they could at least have the decency to have chosen a Russian, rather than German composer. In fact given that Russian propaganda complains about Ukraine being run by Nazis, it is somewhat strange that their chief PMC is called 'Wagner Group', given the Nazis love of said composer. Why, she said, couldn't they have opted for a name like the Tchaikovsky or Rachmaninoff Group. This got me thinking. If we had a similar PMC here in Britain, what would we call it? The Elgar Group maybe? And perhaps rather than a Chef, maybe it would be lead by the Prime Minister's hairdresser? That would be equally as strange and what is going on in Russia right now.
