    Incredible that he just kind of tried to re-integrate like nothing ever happened after the mutiny incident, but I guess once you do something like that and you're an international political figure it's impossible to make yourself disappear and you're probably going to get got regardless of what you do. RIP to a true madlad.

      I like the idea that this might be him faking his own death, possibly with cooperation from Putin. My money would still be on a simple political assassination, but I do love a properly convoluted conspiracy theory.

    He did a mutiny against Putin(y) and now he's dead, what are the odds?

  • Lovely_sombrero [he/him]66•10 months ago

    How unexpected. People are saying that the actual Russian anti-air shot him down, that is very YOLO of Putin.

      I'd do it, if his plane flew near a loyal air defense unit and I was sure he was on board. What doesn't make sense is why the guy was setting foot anywhere near Russia? Why would you do that?!

      I think this is the one assassination that nobody is going to start anything over

  • Phish [he/him, any]66•10 months ago

    The real crazy thing is that 9 other people felt ok getting on a plane with him.

    He just died? Wow. I didn’t know that. You are telling me now for the first time. He led an amazing life. What else can you say? Whether you agreed or not, he was an amazing man who led an amazing life. I am actually sad to hear that. I am sad to hear that.

  • Awoo [she/her]62•10 months ago

    If he was actually on board I think this comes as a surprise to absolutely nobody here. The only confusing thing in the last few months is how much he's been parading around as if everything is normal.

    I think we should all just realise that Prigo was a complete and utter fool. It's the only explanation I have for the world's worst attempted coup in the first place, and for his behaviour afterwards.

        his wanted level went down after he left the search zone, but the boundary on the map put him right back up to 6 stars when he crossed it. happens to the best of us

        Putin is a professional. He doesn't cut corners. These types of things take time, there are procedures. Paperwork to file.

      • Awoo [she/her]28•10 months ago

        He had literally no support, from anyone. Zero allies. It was an absolutely whacky thing to do no matter how you look at it. Compared to other genuinely powerful coup attempts that have failed it's clownshit, look at the gang of eight for example, that was a genuinely powerful coup attempt that failed. When you compare the two it's fucking weird that he ever thought it was a good idea, that he and others planned it for presumably weeks/months beforehand and at no point thought to themselves that they probably shouldn't do it without allies.

    Should've taken the train. Gonna count this as another w for traingang

      • Egon [they/them]18•10 months ago

        Prigo wasn't even the minister of the interior, he didn't have to do him like that lmao

      • VILenin [he/him]14•10 months ago

        The fuck is that convoluted shit, use this streamlined version instead: Prigozhin’t

        • MemesAreTheory [he/him, any]1•10 months ago

          Inting is what happens in League, and he may be a lot of things including dead, but don't you dare disrespect him by calling him a G*mer.
