Another thoughtful and insightful article. Although Prigozhin and his mutiny against Putin, Shoigu and Gerasimov has garnered the lion's share of press coverage over the past several weeks, I was wondering if you will be commenting on the actions (or inactions) of some of the other key players in the Kremlin. Specifically, I am thinking of Ramzan Kadyrov, Viktor Zolotov, Sergey Naryshkin, Nikolai Patrushev, and Alexander Bortnikov among others. Would one be correct in assuming that the recent actions of Prigozhin and the Wagner PMC have affected the relationship between these men and Vladimir Putin?

I think this isn’t a newsletter for February 2023. Otherwise you must have wonderful foresight for “Putin the weak”.
