During the war, Russia not only lost its holy ally Austria but also exposed its incompetent domestic leadership and the awkward military performance. Some scholars and more historians are also convinced that three “historical cases” in Russia/Soviet annals can verify the weakness of Putin and his administration.Ĭhronologically, the first case comes to be the Crimean war (1854) that has fascinated many historians to hold that the defeat of Russia was due to the Anglo-French allies representing a democratic system, better trained and advanced military as well as more skillful diplomacy. This time, all episodes present a “sign of weakness” in Russia and now likely is a “chink in his armor among the elites” as Samuel Charap described. They opined that there is a sign of weakness that might invite another similar attempt sooner or later. It is self-evident that the Western media in general and the Anglo-American clique in particular did not keep silence. Meanwhile, a large number of liberal scholars in China or abroad are emotionally disappointed or despaired by the result with little bloodshed and without any major political figure and group backing Prigozhin and his-led mercenaries. Various comments on the issue came out as usual and many of them are with a mixture of fascination, concerns and even horror as it was officially defined as a “munity” in Russia at the very beginning of the crisis. Although the Wagner crisis ended in less than 40 hours in Russia, the world was shocked and divided politically and intellectually.
