Russia and Wagner - The Best Explanation Yet

Yesterday there was a political tornado that hit Russia and nobody can really figure out just what happened.

Here's the best explanation I have seen so far:

Update 6/27/23

Although the explanations of this Wagner situation vary throughout the spectrum of conspiracy theorism [new word?], here's a view that just might be the correct one from the Wagner chief himself. His explanation reminds me of a time when my wife was attempting to run a small business renting a former kindergarten classroom in an elementary school that had been shut down a few years prior to her arrival. The responsibility for maintenance and rental of the building was in the hands of a "committee" which eventually included my wife and myself. Not everybody realizes this, but it is virtually impossible to run a business that satisfies the demands of and follows a timeframe defined by a committee. In the end it was the committee that dominated and the whole project failed.

I wonder if Prigozhin was running into some of that effect, the bureaucracy effect. It almost sounds like it in this video:

There is another possible explanation, but I haven't seen or heard anything to suggest this is what happened. If Prigozhin felt that his Wagner group was threatened by the Russian military - and there were rumors that he had reason to feel this way - then he may have become convinced that Putin himself was also threatened in which case he acted in such a way that he could protect Putin's power, not overthrow him but rather provide security for him. Russia being Russia, the truth of that story if it did happen would never be revealed in public. When Putin was indeed safe, Prigozhin retreated and was granted safety for himself and his group. But hey, that's just my imagination running wild with conspiracy theorism. It does make sense but isn't very likely the real story.
