His plane has crashed and he's on the passenger list, but it's not proven yet that he was on the plane. He's the person, who faked his death in the past.

I heard it played out exactly like the opening scene from Dark Knight Rises, too.

It would be extremely painful

It seems like oddly coincidental timing that Russia also officially relieved Surovikin as head of the airforce today (he still hasn't been seen since the mutiny): https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/aug/23/russia-removes-sergei-surovikin-as-head-of-aerospace-forces

Not saying he's definitely dead, but I doubt this is him faking his own death so much as him slipping an assassination attempt if he's alive.

Ah yes. The general who the Kremlin said was "resting." Nothing ominous about that.

Agreed, coordinated take down of Prigozhin and his allies.

There were 10 people on the plane (3 pilots, 7 passengers) but they only recovered 8 bodies...

THERE'S A CHANCE HE'S ALIVE!

If he manages to wiggle out of this one I will lose it I swear haha.

North Koreans going to Ukraine was a psyop. They were actually hired by Prigozhin to go to Russia and resurrect him after tricking everyone he died

They expect ~~one~~ eight of us in the wreckage, brother.
