[b]I don't think anyone thought that Prigozhin's mutiny would overthrow the Kremlin. [/b] As it was happening, I personally thought he would stop at Rostov-on-Don, yet he went further than that.  In a sense, yes, Tchakarova's statements (in a tactical sense) are correct, but I think the conclusion that Prigozhin's mutiny is a 'nothingburger' is incorrect (from a strategic sense).

You don't? Then you must have been deaf and blind.  I don't have time to look up the links but practically every single member of the  commentariat was beside themselves churning out stories that made it sound like Russia is tottering on the brink of collapse and Putin must be shivering the corner in a bunker somewhere.

I called my sister in Moscow on that day.  I wasn't even mildly worried but I wanted to get a real scoop.  She said - "dunno what the deal is and don't care.  My husband is at the country house tending the veg and I stayed behind to get a manicure. "   That was pretty typical of the level of excitement these news caused locally.

This doesn't surprise me.  The coverage of Russia and Russian affairs here is so incredibly incompetent, I read in place of funny pages.[/quote]
