Will Wagner boss Prigozhin’s death spell trouble for Putin?

Firstpost  

The presumed death of Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin in a fiery plane crash leaves Russian president Vladimir Putin stronger in the short term, removing a powerful figure who had defied his authority and threatened to make him look weak. “From the point of view of Putin, as well as many among the security forces and the military, Prigozhin’s death should be a lesson to any potential followers.” The fallout of the Wagner mutiny Prigozhin and his Wagner mercenaries staged a mutiny two months ago, in which they took control of a southern city and advanced towards Moscow, shooting down a number of Russian air force planes and killing their pilots. Abbas Gallyamov, a former Kremlin speechwriter now designated a “foreign agent” by Russia, said Prigozhin had wrongly assumed he was indispensable to Putin because of the scale and importance of his activities. “I think it’s possible that in many ways it will become kind of a headless Game of Thrones or _Sopranos-_type of environment where we have competing smaller factions and smaller splinters of Wagner,” said Andrew Borene, executive director of threat intelligence firm Flashpoint and a former US intelligence official.
