The Wagner Group, an independent army led by former Putin ally Yevgeny Prigozhin, had vowed to "go all the way" to Moscow to topple Russia's military leadership. The apparent coup attempt ended Saturday when Prigozhin called off the rebellion and agreed to leave Russia for Belarus. (Photo by Epsilon/Getty Images)
