Here's my assessment of what just happened. Putin Faked the coup to dupe the CIA all while ousting disloyal military inside Russia. He also duped Ukraine into advancing thinking Russia was weak revealing their entire offensive.
All while taking money from NATO 6.2 billion payout through his loyal private militia (Wagner). Which were even proclaimed to be heroes and freedom fighters by the western press.
Talk about a GENIUS military tactic that may go down as one of the greatest moves in military history
