UPDATED – Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin was on a plane that crashed in western Russia killing all on board, according to the country’s aviation authority
His name was on the list of those “declared as travelling on board” the plane, along with key Wagner commander Dmitry Utkin
The Russian Emergencies Ministry has said that private aircraft "came down” near the village of Kuzhenkino

Two months to the day after the coup attempt. His number was up the second he stopped advancing on Moscow.
Yeah, it’s definitely suspicious how this plane crash happened just two months after the coup attempt. It seems like someone wanted to silence him for good. I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more to this story than meets the eye.
There is …
“Christopher Steele - former head of the Russia desk at Britain’s foreign intelligence agency (MI6) - says it’s “inevitable” that this would be Prigozhin’s ending.”
“We were told some weeks ago, in fact, that there had been a contract taken out on Prigozhin inside Russia by senior people in the business community.”
from the link at the top of this toot.
Nothing of that kind of thing happens in Russia without Putin being behind it.
Did the plane fall out of a window?
It was suicide, as was the self-inflicted two gunshots behind his head. Who could have known …
No, it fell down from the stairs

Zero percent chance the Russian military shot down the plane of a guy who just rebelled against the state accidentally. The order had to come from the top.

It’s a pretty clear message, which I think most people were just waiting for it to happen.
So if I’m the next coup leader I’m absolutely never stopping. If you start the coup either you or Putin will die.
Short term solves some problems, long term risky.
If you come for the king, you best not miss
This will rustle some jimmies.
Revenge is a dish served… warm-ish
Well, at least it wasn’t a slow painful Polonium or Novichok death.
Surprised it took this long for Pooty Poo to deal with his little problem.
Seems convenient.
Only onboard the plane in paper. He is probably fine. I highly doubt he’s dumb enough to use his actual documents when flying
If Putin wants him dead and Prigozhin is in Russia, there’s not much he can do to avoid his fate.
If Prig got dusted, better hope there aren’t to many of his comrades in arms who don’t hold a grudge. Because Russia has been dredging the prisons and slums to give uniforms to. And Wagner’s crew are to say the least a bit more motivated (ie fucken bloodthirsty)
Dammit, I had plutonium tea on my bingo card.
I’m not buying it. Prigozhin lives. Probably hanging out with Tupac and Michael Jackson.
So they get to come down from heaven and help torture him?
So this is how it ends for Prig.
Relatively quick retribution, no? Will this have any effect though besides confirming that if you cross Putin, you die?
Wagner allied channels are talking of another march on Moscow.
But without a unifying leader? Who knows?
Now that would be interesting. If they started and actually completed the march.
He should have stuck with his hot-dog cart.
