Julia Ioffe Instagram – Puck’s Julia Ioffe joined CNN’s Rosemary Church on air to analyze Yevgeny Prigozhin’s coup attempt and Vladimir Putin’s response.
At the link in bio, you can read Julia’s post-coup report. Here’s a taste:
“Prigozhin was the strongest, most obvious rival Putin had. He had his own private army, tens of thousands of men who had criminal pasts and were loyal to him personally, and who, having been through the gauntlet of the war in Ukraine, were skilled at violence and clearly unafraid. Sure, Prigozhin’s march revealed damning details about the defense of the Russian homeland: as Prigozhin advanced, the Russian military mostly melted away. But Prigozhin, for whatever reason, blinked first. And that means Putin won.”
