Putin after Prighozin: A look at post-coup Russia WashTimesOpEd
Why was it ended so suddenly? How much was Mr. Putin weakened? Most importantly, what should we expect Mr. Putin to do next?
There are many theories why Mr. Prigozhin ended the coup so suddenly and readily accepted exile in Belarus. One theory, which seems most likely, begins with the condemnation of the coup by Russia’s Security Service, the FSB, almost immediately after it began. Mr. Dugin has been called “Putin’s philosopher,” which is probably about right. Mr. Putin’s actions parallel Mr. Dugin’s writings too closely for it to be coincidental.
“The New Empire, the construction of which would be a global response, is the planetary civilizational mission of the Russian people. … This New Empire, the Eurasian Empire, will have completely differentiated structures within which consisting of separate parts of varying degrees of interdependence and integration.”
But Mr. Dugin’s “Foundations” says that if Ukraine is not retaken, Mr. Putin may as well not bother with the rest.
