The Kremlin's Silence: Prigozhin's Mysterious Death and Legacy

A month after the suspicious plane crash that killed Yevgeny Prigozhin, the founder of the Wagner Group, the Kremlin remains silent on the incident and his legacy. The Russian military leaders he tried to overthrow are still in power, and President Vladimir Putin appears as strong as ever. Prigozhin's funeral was conducted under tight security and secrecy, and makeshift memorials for him have been quietly removed by authorities. The Kremlin is now seeking to take control of the Wagner Group's personnel and assets, particularly in Africa, while maintaining a hybrid model that allows some mercenaries to operate autonomously. The investigation into the plane crash has not yielded any results, and Western officials suspect foul play.
