Prigozhin: surprised pikachu

chaogomu ,

It's interesting how the BBC claims that Prigozhin was the sole founder of Wagner. Most news services don't acknowledge Dmitry Utkin at all these days.

And good news, he was listed on the passenger manifest as well. Another dead Nazi is always good news. It's just sad that it took them turning against Putin for it to happen. They should have died years ago instead.

awwwyissss ,

Yeah, the Kremlin has finally managed to kill an actual Nazi.

Mouette ,

They were pretty good at it back in the days

awwwyissss ,

Not really… Nazis fought to the outskirts of Moscow, and the USSR depended on lend-lease from the Americans to win the war.

Mouette ,

Hahaha that’s false just look at the number most German died on East front (3millions), it was by far the most deadly and Russia been in war from way longer than USA who came at the end.

MaybeItWorks ,

I sort of agree with you, but not quite. The Russians sacrificed A LOT of their own people to beat the Nazis. The weather, terrain, and German leadership disagreements had a lot to do with it. That being said, Russia really won the war with the Eastern Front and yes the Americans showed up late.

The Russians didn’t beat the Nazis because they were particularly good, unfortunately. They had home field advantage, winters were terrible, and Russia was willing to sacrifice anyone necessary to win. They fight differently over there.

awwwyissss ,

Yes, and also look at the number of Russian soldiers who died on the eastern front (6.6 million)

The US joined the war the same year the Nazis invaded Russia, 1941.

I saw this coming. If you aim at the king, you best not miss.

I don’t know what made Prigozhin stop his advance, but he must have accepted that he was a dead man the moment he did.

beam ,

How possible is it that he has staged his own death?

demonquark ,

Tbh, this is what I’m thinking. No way Prigozhin would just go back to Russia without an exit plan. Any sane person knows that accidental death is the only way this would end.

Why wait for Putin to kill you, if you could just do it yourself?

Alternatively, it would make sense if this is part of deal he made to call off the coup. Putin promises to fake kill him, Prigozhin promises to stay fake dead.

RaincoatsGeorge ,

Whatever was said on the day he was moving towards Moscow is what dictated how this all played out, no question.

He completely stopped dead in his tracks and walked away like nothing happened. He was either stupid enough to think all was well and Putin would leave him alone or he thought he could move much more freely than he should have been.

I doubt he was under the complete control of Putin because why waste a missile on a plane when you could toss him out a window or really do whatever you want. He could peel his skin off over the course of months and pay doctors to keep him alive.

I think Prigo was being tracked by Russian intelligence and they waited for a window to take him out and ensure deniability as per usual.

We likely wont know for decades.

Time to dust off track of the classic Green Day album “Shenanigans”

I’m surprised he did not fall out of the plane’s window. I hear windows are very dangerous in Russia.

whodatdair ,

Is tragic accident. Sometimes airplane explode in sky, such is life in Russia.

It’s about time for Yakov Smirnoff jokes to become popular again.

Throbbing_Banjo ,

Sounds like you need to take a trip down to Branson, Missouri, where Mr Smirnoff’s popularity never faded!

Arrakis ,

At least he didn’t fall out the window

As far as we know.

awwwyissss ,

Maybe the Kremlin just wanted revenge for the IL-22M Utkin shot down on his way to Moscow.

EchoCranium ,

This took a lot longer to happen than I expected. Do Putin’s plane next.

Mouette ,

Do you expect Putin to shoot himself ?

EchoCranium ,

That would also be acceptable.

That headline has changed - originally it said he was “feared” dead. Not sure by who tbh.

Godric ,

Who could have seen this coming?

Those on the ground probably.

qwertyWarlord ,

Shame, he had one chance to do something great and he threw it away. Straight to hell for his war crimes, good riddance

Rob ,

Ehh… “He had one chance to do something great” almost makes it sound a bit positive. It wouldn’t have come close to making up for the complete shit stain he left on human history.

Good riddance indeed.
