For one long June night and a day, Russia's notorious mercenary leader Yevgeny Prigozhin staged an apparent insurrection, sending an armoured convoy towards Moscow and raising questions about Vladimir Putin's grip on power.
Ednews reports that the Russian president even accused his former ally of treason, embarking on an armed rebellion and "a stab in the back of our country".
But by the end of Saturday, Prigozhin had called the whole thing off and ordered his men back to base.
"In 24 hours we got to within 200km (124 miles) of Moscow. In this time we did not spill a single drop of our fighters' blood," he announced.
Twenty-four hours of mayhem, and so much we don't know.
