From the transcript
On the 23rd of June, 2023, a Russian paramilitary organization known as the Wagner Group did the unthinkable. After well over a year of faithful service to President Vladimir Putin during Russia's war of expansion in Ukraine, the Wagner Group, led by its commander, Yevgeny Pr agosian, announced that it would march on Moscow.
The reason, said Pragosian, was an alleged airstrike by the Russian military on Wagner Group fighters along a weighted explosion of tensions that had simmered between the Wagner Group and Russia's Ministry of Defense for months.
In retaliation, the Wagner would begin an armed conflict against the Russian MOD and thus the whole of the Russian military in a battle for control of the nation. But in the following 36 hours, Russia's coup attempts took more twists and turns than a season of Black Mirror.
