As a general rule, coups either coopt major parts of state force to either join in or sit out the conflict in the first few hours or fail quickly, as everyone defaults back to the mean of the status quo ante of state retaining control.

Prigozhin's coup attempt so far has failed to get any declared or ambiguous support, and MOD, FSB, GRU, Rosgvardia, and State media sided with Putin

So for folks thinking this coup will be successful, the chances are very, very strongly against that from here

@Pwnallthethings Historically, either the police or the military have to be onside, but this can happen spontaneously, as with the fall of the Marcos regime and the fall of the Berlin wall.
