Russia was about due for another revolution sparked by a war not going as planned.
That said, I really don't see why people are celebrating this. If Prigozhin fails, then Russia has mass purges and tons more innocent people dying. If Prigozhin succeeds, does anyone really think the leader of one of the most notorious PMCs in the world is really going to be a more stable leader than Putin? Especially as it comes to Ukraine, given that's why Wagner was founded a decade ago.
I haven't seen anyone celebrate it. IMO this was organised by Putin as a way to pull out of Ukraine without losing face. Prigozhin has been careful not to criticise Putin himself, only particular people of the MOD.
Pull out of Ukraine? Why would he do that?
He wouldn’t. Russia just crushed the “spring offensive”, Ukraine is out of men, and NATO isn’t sending in troops. Russia won the war. Western media and governments are, as per usual, lying about everything.
