At the end of June, Yevgeny Prigozhin showed the Russians a weak President Vladimir Putin hiding from real problems.
Despite the fact that Wagner mercenaries did not enter Moscow, and Yevgeny Prigozhin did not make claims to the Kremlin, the Russians saw a weak Vladimir Putin. Now the President of the Russian Federation is looking for ways to respond to humiliation.
Political scientist Kirill Rogov interview “MO” noted that Prigozhin “departed” from Moscow and even supposedly moved to Belarus, but in fact, the Kremlin did not completely defeat “Putin’s cook”, the militants were not punished. Now the President of the Russian Federation is looking for a way to correct the effect that the “Wagnerites” rebellion had on the elites and the population.
After June 24, the number of Putin’s public appearances increased markedly. Now he is doing everything to stop the shock that the Russians experienced because of Prigozhin’s rebellion.
“PMC troops marched towards Moscow without any resistance, at that time the presidential planes left the capital – it looked like a flight. Putin is trying to make amends with a flood of news about himself that is supposed to show that nothing happened.“, – says Rogov.
Contrary to the statements of the Russian political elite about the security of the capital of the Russian Federation, as soon as thousands of Wagner PMC mercenaries moved towards Moscow, panic began, a complete misunderstanding of what to prepare for and how the situation would develop. The end of the uprising also became strange: the “Wagnerites” withdrew, but there is no feeling of victory for the Kremlin.
Rogov believes that the matter will not be limited to public speeches of the President of the Russian Federation.
“We must expect Putin to compensate for these signs of weakness. He has to punish someone severely, no matter what, just to reinstate himself as a punisher.“, says the expert.
Recall that on June 24, Putin asked for help from the CSTO allies, but in Kazakhstan, the rebellion of the “Wagnerites” called internal affairs of the Russian Federation and chose not to interfere.
In addition, the media wrote that the illegal formations of the “LDNR” also have gone over on the side of Prigozhin, and the leader of the PRC was disappointed with the behavior of Putin and decided to move away from a weakened, unpredictable nuclear state.
