Vladimir Putin declares the soldiers who allegedly fought Prigozhin’s uprising as heroes. The Russians have long since returned to their everyday lives. They laugh away their frustration at the ghostly uprising.
On Tuesday, the President solemnly rewrote recent history in the Kremlin courtyard. “You effectively prevented a civil war, acted in a precise and coordinated manner,” Vladimir Putin said solemnly to soldiers and other security agencies invited to the ceremony in the main courtyard. Red carpets were rolled out in front of the Granovitaya Palata, and more than two thousand men stood to attention and listened. The soldiers are courageous, loyal to the people.
