Details offer clue as to why Wagner Group abandoned coup attempt that revealed ‘real cracks’ in Putin’s authority
minus-squaredystop@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 year agoThe only reason I don’t believe this is, every well-informed Russian knows to hide their family and friends before doing something like this.
minus-squarelightsecond@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 year agoI read somewhere that Putin threatened the families of Wagner officers and not Prigozhin’s himself. More plausible IMO because the chain is as weak as its weakest links. Putin might have found just enough leverage.
