The international community was largely shocked this weekend when Wagner Group leader Yevgeny Prigozhin, who has been squabbling with the Russian Defense Ministry for months, announced he was bringing his troops to Moscow in what was seen as a coup to wrestle power away from Putin and his top generals.
