(ANSA) - ROME, JUN 24 - Top Italian international affairs analyst Andrea Margelletti said Saturday he wouldn't be surprised if Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin took Moscow in his armed uprising and President Vladmir Putin were forced to move his government to St Petersburg.
    "It's like in Julius Ceasar's time: when central power loses its leadership because of a war that has not been won, from the peripheries comes someone ready to unseat it," said Margelletti, president of the Centro Studi Internazionale global thinktank.
    Predicting a swift and mainly unopposed advance by the Wagner militia, Margelletti said "I wouldn't be surprised if tomorrow morning we woke up with Putin ruling from St Petersburg".
