I completely confused. Was it an attempted coup? Was it staged? Is everybody crazy?

Wikipedia calls it a rebellion but how does that make sense??

My understanding is that Prigozhin didn't want the mercenaries to become part of the Russian army, presumably because he'd lose his profits. There's a thread about what happened here (see this comment, for example)
