It’s the 5th day after the insurrection. Yesterday there were rumors about wagner commanders being threatened with their families. + there were debates about what was really going on. I believe more in the Aleksandr Lukashenko version and this N-Y Times article seems to be backing my view:

Putin is not some sort of mercurial leader but a cold-blooded extremely rational person. He saw the threat posed by Wagner s step by step he started dismantling it. Prigozhin saw that. He dared not to attack Putin directly so he started using swearwords about the Russian military chiefs instead. That coup was his final attempt to maintain his financial and military power. Muscovites + Lukashenko made him back down. Now he will probably continue his activities in Africa etc. with far less attention being directed on him.
N.B.: In middle-eastern cultures the Tsar or whoever is in charge would need “to decapitate” some people to reassert his authority. This doesn’t seem to be the case in post-Soviet Russian politics. I read Putin’s final discourses as “Go … yourself”. And I think this might be the end of the story. + I admire Lukashenko’s intelligence + survival skills as “the last dictator of Europe”. In fact I think that without him, Belarus might also have distanced from Russia. I suggest you listen to his discourse that was televised yesterday. It’s a rare fact for this kind of people but I think he is telling the truth
