RE Addendum
Ja, klar. Das ist eine Säuberungsaktion. Das muss sein, das hat Tradition. Die Betroffenen können froh sein, wenn es bei den Verhaftungen bleibt. Das ist viel besser als aus einem Fenster im 10. Stock zu stürzen. Prigoschin selbst hat sich angeblich in einem fensterlosen Hotelzimmer in Minsk eingemietet. Wenn das stimmt, muss er jetzt nur aufpassen, dass er sich nicht die falsche Unterhose anzieht.
Es gab auch ein Interview in "Der Spiegel" (11/2022) mit Ivan Krastev. Er hat da eine Anekdote erzählt, in der Putin versucht hat, den Unterschied zwischen Feind und Verräter deutlich zu machen. Auffällig in dem jetztigen Fall ist, dass es keinen (direkten) Kontakt zwischen Prigoschin und WP gibt. Es scheint also so zu sein, dass WP Prigoschin für Letzteres hält.
SPIEGEL: Ist Putin ein wütender Mensch?
Krastev : Er spricht ständig von Verrat und Betrug. Durch den Westen. Durch
einzelne, ehemalige Sowjetrepubliken. 2008, während des Krieges gegen
Georgien, traf er sich mit Aleksej Wenediktow, dem Chef von Radio Echo
Moskwy, bis zur Einstellung vergangene Woche eines der letzten kritischen
Medien des Landes. Putin fragte, ob Wenediktow wisse, was er, Putin, früher für
einen Job gemacht habe. Herr Präsident, antwortete Wenediktow, wir wissen
alle, wo Sie herkommen. Wissen Sie, fragte Putin, wie wir in meinem früheren
Job mit Verrätern umgegangen sind? Ja, das wisse er, sagte Wenediktow. Und
wissen Sie, warum ich mit Ihnen rede? Weil Sie ein Feind sind und kein Verräter!
Aus Putins Sicht hat die Ukraine das größte Verbrechen begangen: Sie hat
Russland verraten.
Nawalny, der jetzt in Isohaft ist, hat über den "Putschversuch" Prigoschins erst im Gerichtssaal von seinem Rechtsanwalt gehört. In seiner Haftzelle hat er keinen Zugang zu den Medien. Hier etwas dazu:

“I can’t see other people, and when I do I’m not allowed to talk to them,” Navalny wrote in a thread that his team posted on Twitter.
So he had no idea that Putin was grappling with his greatest crisis since he took power in 1999 — the kind of upheaval that Navalny had long predicted was the only way a change would occur in Russia’s government.
When his lawyers told him about the crisis in court Monday, he wrote: “I thought it was some kind of new joke or internet meme that hadn’t reached me yet.”
“Instead the prosecutor came in and we continued the trial in which I stand accused of forming an organization to overthrow President Putin by violent means,” he wrote.

“While listening to these accusations, I looked at the photo of a roadblock with a grenade launcher in Moscow’s Yasenevo district,” Navalny wrote, referring to sandbag barriers that were hastily built Saturday on the outskirts of the capital.
“While listening to how the ACF are extremists who are dangerous for the country, I read about how one group of Russian troops ‘took positions on the Oka River’ to defend themselves against another group of Russian troops.”
In 2021, Russia banned the ACF and Navalny’s political network as “extremist,” setting the stage for the new trial.

Navalny blamed Putin for the Wagner crisis, saying he had allowed the mercenary group to flourish: “It is dictators and usurpation of power that lead to mess, weak government and chaos,” he wrote.
It was not the Russian opposition, the ACF or the West that shot down helicopters and brought the nation to the brink of civil war, Navalny pointed out, adding that Prigozhin also threatened Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu.
“It was Putin personally who did this, I remind you that he personally pardoned all those convicts who were on their way to assassinate Shoigu and whoever else they wanted to kill,” Navalny wrote, referring to Wagner’s recruitment of prisoners, who were pardoned by Putin if they survived six months of fighting.
Auch diese junge Dame ist wütend über die rechtlichen Zustände, diese ungleiche Behandlung von Fällen:

Krivtsova, who was placed on Moscow's most-wanted list and fled to Lithuania and then Norway, says the disparity between her treatment and that of Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin after his short-lived insurrection makes her angry.
Prigozhin was sent to Belarus, according to Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, after a deal was brokered to turn around his fighters from a march toward Moscow last week.
"Every day, we see the people put in jail for posts on the internet. But a person who is guilty of killing (multiple Russian soldiers) ... and they tell him you can go to Belarus; every time I think about it, I get angry," Krivtsova told CNN.
Russian authorities confirmed the crews of two Russian aircraft were killed during the failed rebellion on Saturday.
Criminal charges against Prigozhin and his fighters have been dropped, according to Russia's Federal Security Service (FSB).
"There is no law and no justice in Russia. It's just all one big act of insanity and hatred," Krivtsova says.
