Putin’s Gangster Reign of Chaos Finally Catches Up to Him
Is there reason to wager that Vladimir Putin, Yevgeny Prigozhin and their mischief of rats are on the verge of exterminating themselves after 23 years in power?
The Kremlin storyline going forward reads like a Russian production of Succession, a drama in which the bodies are riddled with bullets instead of barbs, a fitting conclusion to Putin’s reign of chaos, with viewers left hanging to discover which member of the inner circle becomes the Kremlin’s Tom Wambsgans.
Prigozhin announced Saturday night that he was standing down. His apparent coup attempt at an end. Believe that at your peril.
