I'm still not sure what to make of it, but Wagner had a bunch of troops and heavy equipment when they rolled very close to Moscow.

They clearly had popular support. I haven't heard of a single person dying when they took Rostov-on-Don, and there are videos of Prigozhin being greeted warmly by civilians.
