The recent political challenge faced by Russian President Vladimir Putin when Yevgeny Prigozhin, the head of the Wagner mercenary militia, led a column of men toward Moscow in what was called an "armed rebellion."

However, the rebellion ended abruptly after Prigozhin received a phone call from Alexander Lukashenko, the president of Belarus and a friend of Putin. A deal was brokered between Prigozhin and Putin, which resulted in Prigozhin going into exile in Belarus, the Wagner fighters being pardoned or becoming contract fighters for the Russian army, and the dropping of mutiny charges against Prigozhin.

While Putin resolved the situation peacefully, the incident revealed a potential vulnerability in his power and questioned his strength and competence. The views of Dmitri Trenin, a former Russian intelligence colonel and Putin ally, are also mentioned, emphasizing that Prigozhin's threat was not considered severe beforehand. The article highlights the uncertainty of what will happen next and the potential implications for Russia's interests in Ukraine, Africa, and Syria.

Russia has a history of civil wars and internal conflicts. There is a big risk for a new such war to take place during the following years.
