The thing is that the bureacracy was always there. It's just that for a considerable time Prigozhin had the pull within "the system" to by-pass it. Now that he failed to deliver on his promises and rocked to boat by starting the internal blame train against the Russian armed forces establishment the Russian bureaucracy does what it was designed for: To say "Nyet!" to anyone who isn't important enough.

See if you were in charge you could get rid of all the bureaucracy. Just, you know, quietly off Putin and stage coup, after which absolutely nothing at all will go wrong and you will no doubt win this war who's only impedance is now gone!

Looking at it the other way around, job losses in this sector are accelerating as a result of open windows in high-rise buildings. But bureaucracy is not entirely unimaginable from communism! Account must be kept of every system-critical statement.

Maybe you should take out the leader of that bureaucracy, then things will get better.
