443. Mark Galeotti - The Fall, Rise & Fall of One of the Most Dangerous Warlords in Russia and the World.

GUEST: Mark Galeotti - historian, author, security expert and academic.
----------

Yevgeny Prigozhin emerged as one of the most dangerous warlords in the
world and as one of Vladimir Putin's chief rivals in Russia's tumultuous
political climate, exiled after leading Wagner's attempted coup and
killed in a mysterious plane crash. But what is the truth about this
enigmatic figure, his role in the war with Ukraine, and the chaos
unleashed across Russia by his turn against Putin? And, in the aftermath
of his death, what is next for Russia in the new stage of late Putinism
that Prigozhin's life forged?
