If Prigozhin was on board, this is a somewhat predictable but spectacular end to a rollercoaster in the highest Russian regions

Ten people were killed in the crash of a private plane between Moscow and Saint Petersburg, including Yevgeny Prigozhin (61), the much-discussed leader of the Wagner group, an extremely violent paramilitary organization. After a long time as President Putin’s henchman, Prigozhin has been strongly critical of the Russian military command in recent months, suggesting that the crash was not an accident.
