Russian Streamer Teams Up With Mercenaries for Bizarre Hearts of Iron 4 Modded Stream -A Russian streamer by the name of GrishaPutin has teamed up with a local mercenary group to stream a modified version of Hearts of Iron 4 in what has to be one of the most strange streaming partnerships in recent memory. An active participant in Russia’s savage invasion of Ukraine is a private military corporation called Wagner Group, which also unmistakably has experience with video game broadcasting.
The streamer, who was seen by PC Gamer, was playing Hearts of Iron 4 from what is obviously the Wagner Group headquarters in St. Petersburg while wearing full military battle gear, including a helmet. The game, however, had been modified to reflect the present and added figures like Vladimir Putin. Twenty additional players joined the 16-year-old streamer online in what resembles World War 3 if recent events took a catastrophic turn for the worst.
The clip, which was broadcast on the Russian social media site VKontakte, was originally noticed on Reddit. GrishaPutin picked up the webcam and demonstrated that he was genuinely present, dispelling viewers’ doubts that it was happening at the Wagner Group headquarters. Although not the most well-known, the streamer isn’t precisely unknown. He actually streamed with some well-known players and was once the second-ranked player for Hearts of Iron 4.

GrishaPutin has previously webcast Hearts of Iron 4 while dressed in historically accurate military garb for the side he is playing.
