"Prigozhin's Mysterious Demise: Another Putin Critic Meets a Grim Fate"

Yevgeny Prigozhin, the chief of the Wagner mercenary group, is presumed dead after his plane crashed two months after his failed insurrection against the Russian government. Prigozhin joins a growing list of high-profile Russians who have fallen out of favor with President Putin and died under mysterious circumstances. From Boris Nemtsov, a vocal Kremlin critic shot dead in Moscow, to Alexander Litvinenko, a former Russian agent poisoned in London, the deaths of those who challenge the Kremlin have raised suspicions of Kremlin involvement. While there is no concrete evidence linking the deaths to the Kremlin, critics argue that Putin never forgives or forgets.
