A Very Short Rebellion in RussiaRostov-on-Don, Russia —(Map)On Friday, a military group that’s paid to work with Russia threatened to attack the country instead. Mr. Putin soon responded, accusing Wagner’s soldiers of treason and rebellion. Mr. Prigozhin seems to have lost power in the deal, but the events have also left Mr. Putin looking very weak. Mr. Putin has led Russia for nearly 24 years, and was seen as someone who could never be challenged. The rebellion was short, but it showed Mr. Putin struggling for control, forgiving people who attacked him, and turning to an outside leader to help solve his problems.
