Wasn't Prigozhin in Africa?

Apparently the SS-tattoo'd Utkin guy who gave name to Wagner was also on the plane.

Is it possible to identify victims of a plane crash like this one?
If you want to do the right thing, 80% of your job is done if you don't do the wrong thing.

Yes, of course. It's not done overnight tho. They have the passenger list, and can match blood and dna tests found at the wreckage up against it

The fake death scenario doesn't seem plausible. If Prigozhin were to show up somewhere in a year that would make Putin get way more egg on his face, I don't see why Putin would take that risk. Just to let a guy that backstabbed him (his own words) live out his days? He's not exactly the sentimental type.

And a fake death scenario without Putin's knowledge is even less plausible simply because of the method. Obviously if he weren't the one that ordered the plane shot down he would immediately think of this.

The one part that confuses me about this whole ordeal is why Prigozhin returned to Russia after the coup and was strolling around like nothing had happened and he was safe? I would have expected him to disappear himself immediately.

Back in July, Christo Grozev of Bellingcat predicted Prigozhin would be killed within six months of the mutiny.

I'm also perplexed how Prigozhin flew into Russia. I thought he was exiled? Did he flaunt the rules believing he was above it?

I may be wrong but I think I've read something about him visiting Russia once or twice after the coup.

Fake or not fake, it's permanent good bye for him and this world. The result should be the same.

You don’t not murder the coup guy. Not if you want to stay dictator.

Funny how just last night I told my wife - 2 months ago there was a coup, first one in 30 years, and first one in... a century?.. when armies/tanks were strolling over the country.
And now it's like nothing happened at all, as if it was a dream.

And later that day I see these news. Funny how it works sometimes.

Nothing about this makes sense as a staged event. Putin comes out of this looking like shit. Bitten by his own dog, going on tv attacking them, then granting them amnesty and giving in to their demands. It’s all humiliating for him.

Meanwhile Prigozhin seems to have come at the king and missed. Maybe he was promised key defections by allies that bailed on him when he pulled the trigger, maybe he was delusional about troops coming to his side like Napoleon’s march on Paris. This outcome can’t have been the one he planned because he has to know he’s under a death sentence. You can’t demand a new president and march on the capital as a bluff. I would happily make a $100 bet with anyone here that Prigozhin dies of unnatural causes in the next 2 years.

At least we can hope it’ll stop tankies saying the coup attempt was actually secret 5D chess to sneak Wagner publicly into Belarus by declaring it and Putin and Prigozhin were secretly working together.

They won’t actually stop because tankies don’t care about facts, only narratives, but we can hope.

Yeah, that was my reaction as well when the coup was negociated... He forgot he is only the boss of his army

Does anyone like him enough to retaliate?

If they didn't join him on his hail mary 2 months ago, there's hardly any point of doing something now without him.

Surovikin was probably his closest ally with power, but on the day of the coup he made a public appeal to him stand down, and he's been unheard from since.

Must say it is amazing that Russia finally have managed to kill some of the Nazis that have infested Ukraine. Even the founder with SS tattoos on his shoulders (no wonder why he named the PMC Wagner), have been killed.

EDIT: Perfect timing for celebrating Ukraine's National Day as well

If you are neurotic and heard about Prigozhin, you are probably saying Putin or the CIA shot down the plane. If you can't sit back and wait for more information and statements, you may actually be neurotic.

That being said, either hypothesis could be true, but we know the turtle won the race.

In fact, if you assumed because his name was on the manifest that he was on board, you underestimate the 5d chess Russia has been playing.

My favorite gaslighting tactic is calling people neurotic for believing a very believable explanation for what happened.
