Bruce, I read an Opinion in the NYTimes about Prigozhin by Mikhail Zygar, a Russian journalist and the author of “All the Kremlin’s Men: Inside the Court of Vladimir Putin” that was my teacher. If you have not read it, 'The Man Challenging Putin for Power', I would like to email it to you. I'll do it now, Bruce. Written in January of this year, I feel as though it prepared me for this moment. The Opinion also fed into my idea that Putin is the architect of this frightening time for Russia and, perhaps, much of the word. The gifted link of the Opinion is below.
