 Putin tries to show his closeness to people after Prigozin's mutiny. The president of Russia Vladimir Putin is trying with all his might to confirm his authority among the people after the mutiny of the leader of Wagner according to CNN. Russian president Vladimir Putin seems to have changed his tactics. For the past three years the Russian leader has rarely appeared in public. During the pandemic he has been in almost complete isolation and when he did appear he usually sat at a huge table far from people around. However after Putin faced the biggest ever challenge to his power over the weekend he found himself back in the spotlight. The Kremlin is now making every effort to confirm Putin's authority holding meetings and public events designed to demonstrate the unity and solidarity of the state and the army under his leadership. The channel said Putin has made several public appearances since the mutiny including a trip to Dagestan. Russian propaganda posted a video in which he was met by supporters on the streets of Durbent. Putin later said he had no doubts about the reaction to his visit to Dagestan and throughout the country. However the Putin's first public appearance after the mutiny was a speech to the participants of the International Youth Industrial Forum held in Tula. CNN notes that the Kremlin did not specify when and where the video was shot.
