Для англоязычных читателей о последствиях пригожинского мятежа (часть 1, часть 2) Putin’s heirs have taken over everything in Russia, from Gazprom and Rosneft to the army and Rosgvardia. However, it will be very difficult for them to agree on how to live together when the czar loses his power. The level of interpersonal trust in Russia is extremely low, especially among the upper classes, and the war and mutiny are lowering it even further. How can people be trusted when even Putin’s old friend Prigozhin has betrayed him?   If Putin’s heirs cannot come to terms with each other, Russia will face many violent internal conflicts. To reach an agreement you need mutual trust. Stalin’s junior partners faced the same problem after his death, so they conflicted with each other between 1953 and 1964. It was only in 1968 (the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia) that the Soviets overcame the post-Stalinist turmoil, when it was unclear where the country was going or what elites and ordinary people could and could not do.
