The Metadichka of Russian Media Watchers

State TV tried to present it as some kind of victory that Russian society had shown absolutely no support for this failed mutiny attempt. The very fact that these Wagner fighters were allowed to get within 200 kilometers of Moscow if Prigogian is to be believed, showed that this unity that we saw trumpeted on state TV was perhaps not quite as clear cut as they might want the Russian people to believe. There is a lot of speculation and unconfirmed reports about what is happening in Russia.
