‘on… [the day of the coup], #Putin flew to St. Petersburg. Nothing, not even armed revolt, would deter him from his favorite party… the clearest evidence yet that the president is divorced from reality’ #RussiaCoup https://www.nytimes.com/2023/06/30/opinion/putin-prigozhin-russia.html

#Zubarev spoke a week after the brief mutiny of the #Wagner mercenaries ordered by Prigozhin. #Prigozhin created not only this private army. His corporate conglomerate also includes the media group #Patriot #Media, whose best-known medium is the news site #RIA FAN. The failed mercenary #uprising now puts the fate of Prigozhin's entire corporate network into question.

According to the director of one of its subsidiaries, the media group controlled by Russian mercenary boss Yevgeny #Prigozhin is to be closed. "I announce our decision to close and leave the country's information space," #RIA FAN chief Yevgeny #Zubarev said in a video. He didn't give a reason.

‘#Putin's impotent rage highlights the underlying weakness of his position. Long gone are the days when he promised to "beat the shit out of terrorists in the outhouse."

‘A common sentiment I’ve heard from my contacts in Moscow is that, if #Prigozhin had reached Moscow, people wouldn’t have risen up to defend #Putin’ #RussiaCoup https://www.newyorker.com/news/q-and-a/what-prigozhins-half-baked-coup-could-mean-for-putins-rule

On the #Wagner #uprising: "The country is ripe for a coup. But we should be careful with wishful thinking. Because #Prigozhin in particular is an example of the fact that there could be a much bigger lunatic in the Kremlin than #Putin."

On the #Wagner #uprising: "#Putin has obviously created a monster that has slipped out of his hands. Just as surprising is the extent of the apathy that prevails in the country and threatens its existence. [...] But even if the Putin regime is disgusting , no one can really wish for a disintegration of #Russia."

On the #Wagner #uprising: "One can assume that #Putin will intensify the repression in #Russia because he fears a repeat of the #Prigozhin revolt. He knows that revolutions in Russia sometimes only succeed after a second attempt."

Prigozhin's voice message pt. 5

"We turned around to:
1. Avoid spilling Russian blood
2. We were marching in protest, not for overturning the government. At this time Lukashenko offered to find a solution for Wagner to continue”.

“If on Feb 24, 2023 Wagner were the ones in action, maybe the special operation would have lasted less”
