The only reason I don't believe this is, every well-informed Russian knows to hide their family and friends before doing something like this.
Agreed, yet it does seem to be a more logical explanation then the "official" narrative.
Oh yes, the official narrative was always bs.
I read somewhere that Putin threatened the families of Wagner officers and not Prigozhin’s himself. More plausible IMO because the chain is as weak as its weakest links. Putin might have found just enough leverage.
That's logical, but it means Prigozhin didn't do a good enough job.
Basically he needed to make sure enough officers at the highest levels are protected. Then when it gets down to, say, anyone below a captain, there would be too many relatives for Putin to round up effectively.
Hard to strategise in the middle of a war :)
And Prigozhin having any kind empathy.
while no doubt true, russian ~~kgb~~ fsb is some of the best intelligence in the world I'd imagine. it's one of those groups I would not wanna be on the wrong side of
