    Below is a brief description of Prigozhin's mutiny and the factors that contributed to its outcome. We, as observers, initially missed important details due to the scarcity of information and lack of time for in-depth analysis. Here's the perspective that currently seems most

    A short THREAD. There is a general feeling that, objectively, a split is already happening among the 🇷🇺elites: former Yeltsin oligarchs versus Putin’s conservative elites.

    In my recent piece in Foreign Affairs, I argued that nobody in Moscow is looking for an exit strategy from the war; rather, people are prepared to fight as long as it takes. Many interpreted this as a thesis that Moscow will not negotiate with Ukraine or agree to a ceasefire.

    Here are a few insights into the situation surrounding Prigozhin: 1️⃣ For a long time, Prigozhin has been out of direct contact with Putin, yet he's believed he was acting in Putin's interests "by default". His significant contributions in the war enhanced his sense of

    A few thoughts in light of Prigozhin's death. 1️⃣ No matter the cause of the plane crash, everyone will see this as an act of retaliation and retribution, and the Kremlin won't particularly counteract this view. From Putin's perspective, as well as many among the security and

    The former have the economy in their hands and the latter control politics. The oligarchs are intimidated and under pressure, while the conservative elites are on horseback with drawn swords. The government is somewhere in the middle.

    This isn’t a confrontation yet, or a political struggle; it is simply a case of two camps exhibiting opposing views about how to proceed in the current situation.

    I believe this deserves significant attention. Thomas Graham, who returned from Moscow last week, has invaluable insight into what Russia wants in Ukraine. His findings align with my own understanding: Putin is not merely interested in seizing territory but in ensuring that
