Do you have any idea about the general public opinion regarding this coup?

I would be interested to know this as well
we usually say «ебала жаба гадюку», what means both alternatives are extremely bad.
Prigozhin is a man-eater as well as Putin. he is also a cynical populist, and has no real position - all he want is power.
but Prigozhin’s rhetoric aka “those are ineffective and corrupt bureaucrats do not deserve their positions” has some sympathisers. especially bc his troops trying to avoid any conflict this civilians and focus only on confronting pro-gov troops
Prigozhin appears to be even more extreme, I don't think coups are beneficial for achieving normalcy. Just look at Iraq and Libya as examples. I am simply hoping for the best and an end to violence.
Arbitrary term like wins/losses or even land don't really matter. It's the people who do.
Anyways, any chaos within Russia now is very beneficial to Ukraine. I hope they will leverage that wisely
War is hell. Civil war is hell also. Hope one of them wins as fast as it's humanly possible so that civilians are not forced to take sides. Praying this is over by Monday with one of them dead.
It's not easy to hold Russia together, I think. If this coup succeeds, we may witness a much more dangerous Russia, similar to what we saw in Iraq and Libya, complete anarchy, & ever next street being fought over by Terrorist/Militia groups vying for control.
That will be a real civil war.
tbh we dream of «моча съела говно» aka Putin and Prigozhin killing each other so the country would have even the smallest chance to move from those authoritarian/dictatorship regimes to something more democratic.
but yeah, i mostly worried for the civilians. it seems like Ahmat (pro-gov chechens) troops are near Rostov. they might be not as peaceful for russian civilians as Prigozhin’s 🤕
If Putin wins probably Kadyrov will be the one who'll get Wagner's contracts.
