After I retired out of the Air Force, I continued to work as a contractor. One day, we had a new 4-star general arrive. Within six hours of arrival....he'd gone to demonstrate how 'crazy' he was, and this unbalanced act went on for around 2.5 years. There was not a single week where sanity reigned with this guy.
I generally believe at this top level of Russian leadership (probably a hundred individuals)....they all function in some half-ass way. Prigozhin? He went the full distance on crazy behavior, then stopped at the most unexpected moment.
On my four-star general? After he retired and left....some US University picked him up to be Chancellor of the university. Within two weeks of arrival....he'd demonstrated his behavioral problem. He wanted every building on campus painted the same color....in a hurry (to be done in a 2-year period). Later, he got into a huff about window decorations around Christmas in the dorms....ordering those to be removed. Around nine months after arrival, the board of the college asked him quietly to resign (not willing to take any more).
