A new day in Moscow after 24 hours of chaos

It’s morning in Moscow where residents are still likely getting to grips with the dramatic events they’ve seen since Friday night.

The immediate threat to those in charge in Moscow – of a mercenaries-led rebellion – has passed.

Several people the BBC spoke to in the Russian capital on Saturday said they weren’t too worried about the Wagner fighters, who, at the time, had been making their way to Moscow.

One Muscovite told our Russia editor Steve Rosenberg that they had “not seen any tanks yet so we won’t worry about it”.

Another told him they had survived tanks on the streets of Moscow in 1991 as the Soviet Union fell, and in 1993 during the constitutional crisis, so “we’ll survive whatever comes today”.

A woman named Galina told Reuters: “It doesn’t frighten me at all. I have confidence in our president and our people.”

But another resident Nikolai had called the events “frightening”. He told Reuters: “It’s disturbing, both for you and your loved ones.”

As we know now, the threat of an advance into Moscow has passed but security remains tight, and the order for residents to stay home and not go to work on Monday is still in place.
