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".
