A coup attempt happened in Russia last month while we were on vacation!!!! The Wagner Group, a Russian government-funded paramilitary group lead by former Moscow caterer Yevgeny Prigozhin, tried to take over mother Russia. Putin fled Moscow while 25,000 Wagner troops marched through the country and for 24 hour it seemed like Putin's days might be over. Oleg Denisov is here to explain it all. Oleg is a world touring comedian who owns a brand new comedy club in Berlin, Germany and will be performing all August at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Scotland. Check it out his Berlin comedy club here https://www.facebook.com/eastwestcomedy/, and get tickets to his Edinburgh show here: https://tickets.edfringe.com/whats-on/all-about-philosophy-in-100-jokes
