Vladimir Putin’s unexpected address to the Russian military and state security apparatus cued a new round of myth-making around the failed insurrection, which was led, and then abandoned, last weekend by Wagner Group founder Yevgeny Prigozhin. Speaking in front of the Kremlin’s iconic Palace of Facets on June 27, Putin thanked Russia’s forces of law and order for having “stopped a civil war” that was about to plunge the country into “chaos.” But not once did the president mention the leader of the insurgence, Yevgeny Prigozhin, by name. The same is true of the Kremlin’s propaganda guidelines that have been recently distributed to the state-controlled Russian media. Meduza’s special correspondent Andrey Pertsev has got ahold of the Kremlin’s instructions on how state propaganda must cover the insurrection and frame it for posterity.
