One year on from Wagner rebellion to Putin

The Wagner mutiny was the biggest challenge to Vladimir Putin's authority in nearly 1/4 of a century in power. And yet, Fast forward 12 months, it feels like his grip on power is stronger than ever. So how has that happened? And where's Wagner now? The uprising was led by Yevgeny Pregorjan, the catering tycoon turned warlord. He died in a plane crash last August, the circumstances of which are still unexplained. His army of ex convicts and mercenaries was quickly brought under the Kremlin's control, with many joining the armed forces, the National Guard or other private military groups. And what was left of Wagner itself was rebranded as Russia's Africa Corps, where it operates now. But there are still plenty of reminders of Wagner and its March on Moscow, which is why want to show you this. It's a makeshift memorial just a stone's throw from Red Square and the Kremlin. 2 Wagner and it's fallen fighters. There are photographs of mercenaries, one of Pregoshen himself. There's a big Wagner flag with his trademark skull and crossbones logo on it. And people come here to lay flowers, which is pretty extraordinary considering that Pregoshen and his fellow mutineers were labeled as traitors by Vladimir Putin. What's even more curious though, is what you find at Pregoshen's grave in Saint Petersburg where there's now a giant bronze statue of him. When we were there a couple of weeks ago, we saw several people come to pay their respects. So it's clear that many Russians still see as a hero. But none of these people were willing to express their feelings open openly on camera because they see it as being too dangerous. As for Vladimir Putin, he's just started another six year presidential term, which was followed by what many called a purge of the military top brass. Several senior figures were arrested on corruption charges and last month he replaced his minister of defence, Sergei Shoigu. You might remember that was one of the key demands of precaution and his attempted uprising. But a year on, this was Vladimir Putin making the change on his terms, not someone else's.
