After an astonishing seven days in Russia, Doomsday Watch is back
to answer some of the biggest questions following the aborted
Wagner rebellion. How will Yevgeny Prigozhin’s short-lived
insurrection affect Russia and its war of aggression on Ukraine?
Few understand the machinations and manoeuvres of Russian politics
like Christopher Steele - former head of the Russia desk at MI6 and
the man behind the famous Trump dossier in 2016, which investigated
Russia’s links to US politics. The director of consultancy
Orbis Business Intelligence joins Arthur Snell to discuss the
corruption which rots Russian elite society and drove Prigozhin’s
challenge. And speaking from Kyiv - Doomsday Watch regular Dr Jade
McGlynn - author of recent books Russia’s War and Memory Makers and
researcher at King's College London. Arthur and Jade discuss
developments in Ukraine and how Russian society is responding to
Vladimir Putin’s attempts to shore up control following the
rebellion. “A lot of this revolves around corrupt wealth, and
vast amounts of it.” – Christopher Steele “I suspect that there was
a falling out between Prigozhin, Shoigu and others over the spoils
of war in Ukraine.” – Christopher Steele “I think a lot of
Ukranians are, at the very least, enjoying watching the spiders
fight in a jar, as they call it.” – Jade McGlynn Get bonus material
