Disconnection and Chaos: The Rebellion of Prigogine showed that Putin cannot unite the "elite of the Russian Federation" - isw

According to experts, the President of the Russian Federation did not respond for a long time to the attempts of the "Wagnerists" to attack Moscow, which demonstrated his uncertainty and weakness. Researchers at the Institute of War (ISW) reported that the Wagner PEC rebellion and the Kremlin's slow reaction, which indicates the possible uncertainty of Russian President Vladimir Putin in the ability to unite the Russian elite. This was reported in the ISW report.

According to sources, Ukrainian and European power structures stated that Vladimir Putin had not been ordered for a long time in connection with Prigogine's rebellion, despite the fact that Russian special services warned about the possibility of rebellion at least two to three days before its beginning. Then there was a slow response of Vladimir Putin and the Kremlin to the rebellion of Wagner PEC.

As a result of such a non -operative reaction, local Russian officials had to make their own decisions on how to cope with the attack of mercenaries on Moscow. Analysts concluded that in this situation the lack of reaction from the Kremlin and Putin indicates the possible unpreparedness of the Russian security apparatus to direct call to the Russian military leadership, which, for its part, could prevent the rapid cessation of rebellion.

The Kremlin is probably aware that its "paralysis" has revealed the level of instability of the regime, and is forced to take measures to consolidate the internal security apparatus of Russia in Rosgvardia. This is aimed at preparing for possible future internal threats and to demonstrate their determination. According to the report, it can also be said that Putin's inability quickly indicates his possible uncertain attitude to the ability to combine the so -called "Russian elite" around him.

This may indicate the separation of domestic Kremlin policy. It should be reminded that on July 25 it became known that Russian President Vladimir Putin was warned about the possible preparation of the rebellion of PEC "Wagner" 2-3 days before its beginning. And in the media the name of the new head of PEC "Wagner", whom Putin appointed instead of Yevgeny Prigogin, leaked. Journalists claim that Putin suggested that there are several ways of future employment to "Wagnerivtsi".
