Open source research for accountability.

Our mission

All Eyes On Wagner is a project focusing on Wagner mercenaries: tracking their activities and verifying claims of human rights and economic abuses. We rely on open source information and witnesses accounts/leads sent to us which are collected, archived and verified. Our objective is to become a reliable source of information on Wagner mercenaries for key human rights organisations. Since Prigozhin’s death in August 2023, the scope of our work has expanded to include looking at Prigozhin’s legacy, propagation of the Wagner brand through other Russian paramilitary organisations and how Russian intelligence services are reclaiming some missions.

Who we are

The project has been historically initiated by OpenFacto, a French not for profit organisation with expertise in open-source investigations (OSINT). AEOW is today independent and now incorporated into a Swiss-based NGO called INPACT established by its core members to create more long-term investigative projects.

Since October 2023 the project has received funding for 18 months from the Open Society Foundation which enables:

• to cover some basic costs such as website, emails, some subscriptions
• cover travel costs to speak at conferences
• compensate some hours of investigation

AEOW is preparing a crowd funding campaign to match the grant amount in Q4 2023 and remains open to donors/ foundations as long as it is core funding and has no impact on editorial lines and ways of working.

AEOW is still managed on a voluntary-basis by a group of 6 volunteers on their free time from different nationalities and backgrounds: journalists, investigators, experts on disinformation, students, humanitarian and academics. Friends and contacts often provide an extra hand: graphism, research, editing, good advice.
