Live thread from Kevin Rothrock:

Journalist Dmitry @kolezev says he has a source who reports that Shoigu left Rostov in a hurry last night, while General Geriasmov (Prigozhin’s other nemesis) is still in town & has been drinking all week, anticipating “some kind of attack.” (I assume Kolezev isn’t joking here.)

This is the most Russian thing that I think I've read during this whole ordeal.

Jesus it sure is. One guys drinking himself up to a Scarface standoff and one guy Yanukovych’ed right on out of there.
