Putin and Prigozhin: Russian History and the Voluble Political Emigre

Both Ivan IV, the Rurik Tsar, and Iosif Stalin, the Red Tsar, endured a series of angry, often vitriolic epistles from exiled political critics; in Ivan’s case from Prince Andrei Kurbsky and in Stalin’s case Leon Trostky.

Will we witness a similar phenomenon develop between Russia’s most recent political emigre Yevgeny Prigozhin and President Vladimir Putin?
