there is nothing complicated about the event. prigozhin was a low-level manager in the war (not even a general or an officer, but more of a businessman handling the wagner pmcs activity, he wasn't a commander of any sort) wagner was primarily focused on a very specific portion of the front, and prigo decided for himself that wagner needs to receive more supplies at the expense of other units in other areas of the front. his demands were ignored. after wagner took control of bakhmut, the wagnerite forces had to stay put and await replacement by the russian armed forces. there were rumors circulating that moscow got tired of prigo's complaints, and wanted to withdraw wagner from the front completely. prigo sensed his business is about to get closed down. so he decided he decided to bargain with moscow but again got ignored, so he assembled a fraction of wagner commanders and convinced them to assist him in his pr stunt against the mod. there was no blood spilled originally, because everyone in russia wanted to avoid bloodshed. this includes both wagner and kremlin. everyone was confused about the "mutiny" because it made very little sense to average russians citizens and to the kremlin. but not all of wagner agreed to prigo's stunt, and only a fraction of the officers followed him. the helicopter got shot down due to some miscommunication, and then prigo himself put all blame on "a retard in my convoy" - refusing to take responsibility for it himself. when the "mutiny" fizzled out, prigo's own words were "we all got shook up, and it's good" (paraphrasing)  but all in all, prigo made an egoistic move, which alienated everyone from him, including wagnerites themselves. he ruined his reputation in the eyes of his own comrades and compatriots, and harmed the russian state - to achieve virtually nothing other than ego-tripping points
