Prigozhin's Belarusian successor and his Polish interests
When in June 2023, the Wagnerites led by Yevgeny Prigozhin announced that they were attacking Moscow, NATO countries watched the crack in the Russian monolith, hoping that it would reach Putin himself. However, this – ultimately unsuccessful – coup was of particular interest to one other man, not from the Western part of the world. This is a Belarusian – Alexander Zingman, who is for Alexander Lukashenko what Evgeny Prigozhin was for years for Vladimir Putin.
