Unveiling Yevgeny Prigozhin's Popularity and Russia's Absurd Actions

Yevgeny Prigozhin, founder of the Wagner PMC, has seen a significant drop in support among Russians following his failed putsch. A recent poll by the Levada Center shows that approval for Prigozhin's activities has fallen from 58% to 28% in just five days. Despite this decline, Putin must tread carefully in dealing with Prigozhin due to the powerful message he represents, criticizing corrupt generals and the weakening of Russia. Removing Prigozhin alone won't address the deeper issues of incompetence and rot that have undermined Putin's war and potentially his regime.
