How does Russia prevent uprisings, and what can other authoritarians learn from Moscow’s methods of coup control?
For the second anniversary of the Wagner Group uprising, ChinaTalk interviewed London-based historian Kamil Galeev, who was also a classmate of Jordan’s at Peking University.
We discuss...
- Why the Wagner Group rebelled in 2023, and why the coup attempt ultimately failed,
- How Wagner shifted the Kremlin's assessment of internal political challengers,
- Similarities between post-Soviet doomerism and the American right,
- Historical examples of foreign policy influenced by a victimhood mentality,
- Barriers to Chinese hegemony.
