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.
At least he didn’t fall out the window
Maybe the Kremlin just wanted revenge for the IL-22M Utkin shot down on his way to Moscow.
Who could have seen this coming?
Those on the ground probably.
Shame, he had one chance to do something great and he threw it away. Straight to hell for his war crimes, good riddance
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.

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.
Yeah, the Kremlin has finally managed to kill an actual Nazi.
Better late than never!
That headline has changed - originally it said he was “feared” dead. Not sure by who tbh.
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.

Wikipedia already updated on Putin’s chef.
A Wagner-associated Telegram channel named “Grey Zone” claimed the jet was shot down by Russian air defenses.
This took a lot longer to happen than I expected. Do Putin’s plane next.
Prigozhin: surprised pikachu
Ooopsies.
How possible is it that he has staged his own death?
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.
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.
shocking
Oh no! Anyway…
RIP Prigochad! 😰🥀
