The Mysterious Demise of Yevgeny Prigozhin: Coincidence or Kremlin's Hand?

TL;DR Summary
Yevgeny Prigozhin, the founder of the private military company Wagner, is presumed dead after his private jet crashed and exploded in a field. Prigozhin had led an insurrection against the Russian government, which was seen as a direct challenge to President Putin's authority. Despite the mutiny, a deal was made between Prigozhin and the Kremlin, resulting in dropped charges and immunity from prosecution. However, his reported death raises questions about potential revenge from his loyalists and the stability of the Russian government.
