Vladimir Putin faced an unprecedented challenge to his authority. What could his eventual end look like?

ABC  

When Yevgeny Prigozhin challenged his leader and former friend, he fractured the hard edge of Vladimir Putin's power. "Russia's political landscape has changed fundamentally, with Putin's uncontested reign over," leading Russia expert and former ambassador to Moscow Peter Tesch wrote for the Australian Strategic Policy Institute. "It was not just Prigozhin's private army which was marching on the highway, but also the private cars, and people were following, and that made it very hard for Putin's regular army to either bomb or shoot any of Prigozhin's troops because they were mixed with the population," Russia expert and visiting fellow to ANU Leonid Petrov said. "It's really only the army that could oust Putin, or one other force and that's the Russian people," Mr Wilson said. In an address after Prigozhin's mutiny had been dealt with, Putin once again referenced Russian history, saying: "A blow like this was dealt to Russia in 1917, when the country was fighting in the first world war."
