A Russian paramilitary group rebelled - now what are the consequences?

A few weeks ago, Yevgeny Prigozhin - chief of the Russian paramilitary group, the Wagner Group - led a rebellion against Russia's military leadership. Things appear to have fizzled out, but there are a lot of questions left unanswered. Did this rebellion weaken President Putin and his allies? Will it have any effects on the war in Ukraine? What do Russian leaders and citizens think of Prigozhin’s criticism of the Russian military? And where exactly is Prigozhin now? We bring back two experts from Saint Joseph’s University - Dr. Melissa Chakars, Professor and Chair of the Department of History, and Dr. Lisa Baglione, Professor in the Political Science Department and a member of the International Relations Program - to break down the situation in Russia and whether or not it could lead to any change.
