I mean, what would Wagner do once they reach Moscow? Sit at Putins desk and start giving orders? No one would listen, they'd all still take orders from Putin sitting in St Petersburg or just quit an go home and wait it out.
I imagine they would take over the city, and completely destabilize Russia.
It doesn't matter if nobody wants to listen to you if you become the local law enforcement.
Probably just re-enact Jan 6 but Russian for the propaganda points, then skedaddling before the hammer comes down.
And soon Russia will face the same problem as Iraq and Afghanistan did
