The Complex Reality of Russians' Reception of Wagner Rebels

The recent mutiny by the Wagner Group in Rostov-on-Don, Russia, initially appeared to have garnered support from locals, with scenes of residents cheering for the mercenaries. However, interviews with residents and sociological experts reveal that much of the support was passive rather than active. Many citizens panicked and tried to flee the city when Prigozhin announced his "march of justice" to Moscow. While some expressed sympathy for Prigozhin, believing he was not afraid to speak the truth, others saw him as a charlatan. The mutiny was perceived as a betrayal and a threat to stability, leading to a rapid decline in Prigozhin's approval ratings.

Multiple Incidents at Russian Security Buildings in Southern Region

A fire broke out at a building used by Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB) in Rostov-on-Don, killing one person and injuring two others. The fire was caused by a short circuit that ignited fuel tanks, according to the regional governor. The FSB is Russia's internal security service responsible for counter-intelligence, border security, and counter-terrorism. The area on fire was a two-storey building used for garages and storage. There have been a spate of arson attacks on government buildings in Russia since the February 2022 invasion of Ukraine.
