On Wednesday, the Russian-language version of the independent Moscow Times cited two anonymous defense sources as saying that Surovikin had been arrested in relation to the failed mutiny. Here’s what we know about the two men in the spotlight. Kremlin has remained silent on the topic, embarking instead on an aggressive campaign to reassert the authority of the Russian President Vladimir Putin. The commander of the Russian air force Sergey Surovikin and the Wagner chief Yevgeny Prigozhin have not been seen in public in days as questions swirl about the role Surovikin may have played in Prigozhin’s short-lived mutiny. And right now, both are nowhere to be found. One launched the insurrection, the other reportedly knew about it in advance. One is known as “General Armageddon,” the other as “Putin’s chef.” Both have a checkered past and a reputation for brutality.
