@TheStudyofWar released its daily (11/14) assessment:
"Prigozhin is taking actions that resonate with a constituency interested in the ideology of Russia’s national superiority, Soviet brutalist strength, and distasteful of the Kremlin’s corruption."

There has been several posts from ISW exploring—at a surface level—emerging divides within the Russian pro-war factions.
#Prigozhin is cited consistently, and it's clear why: a decades- long rise as a shadowy leader, now thrusted to center of attention in the context of war.

To explore more deeply who Prigozhin is, and why he matters, I strongly recommend the @bellingcat three-part investigative series on his ascendance, and how the structures around him have evolved to support that rise.

What's perhaps bizarre is the notion of revitalizing #Russian national myth and narrative through an individual whose rise is predicated on the structures which have so undermined it: corruption, deniability, and obfuscation of a necessary truth.
