Weird? Nah - getting Utkin killed was his final “contribution to fighting Nazis in Ukraine”Putin praised Prigozhin for his “contributions to fighting Nazis in Ukraine”
Weird because Prigozhin’s right hand man, Dmitry Utkin, who died alongside him, is a known Neo-Nazi.

Could have happened to a better man.Russian state media are reporting the death of Yevgeny Prigozhin of the Wagner Group in a small jet plane crash north of Moscow. Yevy, of course, led the revolt against the Kremlin in June. How ironic then, after fears for his well-being, that he should die in August, purely through the vagaries of fortune and fate.
To calculate those vagaries, no doubt, some would put in engine failure; some would put in weather conditions; some would put in the age of the Russian air fleet; some would putin -- excuse me, put in -- the operation of blind chance. And somewhere in there, one might find the answer.
Are they still working? I thought they were on a break.I wonder if Wagner employees are getting paid? Could become an issue.

Samuel Ramani, an analyst at London's RUSI think-tank and author of the book "Russia in Africa" said the loss of Prigozhin's extensive network would be a downside for Putin.
"He loses many of the personal contacts that Prigozhin has managed to cultivate on that continent, including the kind of contacts that would be necessary to export gold and diamonds out of sanctioned countries such as Mali and the Central African Republic," Ramani said in a telephone interview.
Robert Horvath, a Russia specialist at La Trobe University in Melbourne, said Putin's position remained fragile.
"The problem with killing Prigozhin is that it risks provoking acts of revenge from the tens of thousands of Wagner mercenaries - some battle-hardened veterans, some convicted criminals - who have fought under the Wagner banner," he said.
"It also risks drawing fresh attention to Prigozhin's populist campaign, his condemnation of the regime's justification for the war, and of the vast gulf separating the frivolous children of the ruling elite from those of ordinary people, who were returning from Ukraine in coffins."
That could make for a good opera.Angry Wagonites are vowing veagance for Prighozin's death. This is getting better by the day.
The funny thing is that the guy could have legitimately died in a legitimate accident, but very few would believe it. Honestly, I feel like it is worse than 4-1 that he died in that plane and that he was dead a while ago. They just didn't want to advertise his death due to gravity, an umbrella, or whatever murder method that was used.Angry Wagonites are vowing veagance for Prighozin's death.
