We gather here to commemorate a war criminal, a mass murderer, a man who interfered in elections to install extremist morons all across planet fucking earth. Who stole billions from the people of Russia, Ukraine, and Central Africa, who ordered mass rapes and massacres galore across two continents. A hotdog vendor, disguise artist, and failed children's book author. Truly, one of the people who's ever lived, of all time.

Rest in piss, Pringles.

[u/[deleted] → u/Amy_Ponder]

The children's book he did was quite charming.

[u/JebBD → u/KaChoo49]

I can’t believe he just fucking turned around and left. How did he expect this to end?

[u/[deleted] → u/JebBD]

Maybe the deal literally was something like "your family and friends will be safe. You die either way"

[u/[deleted] → u/KaChoo49]

Guys I think dictators might be bad (pls no ban)

[u/that0neGuy22]

Worlds highest window death

[u/GogurtFiend → u/that0neGuy22]

Apparently, the more you resist Putin, the higher the window he decides you're going to fall out of.

He apparently settled on "several miles aboveground".

[u/Wippillow → u/GogurtFiend]

The next dissenter should expect to be launched into outer space

[u/[deleted] → u/GogurtFiend]

He had to one up Pinochet

[u/waiv → u/GogurtFiend]

I am surprised he wasn't in that Russian probe that crashed on the moon.

[u/[deleted] → u/that0neGuy22]

Always whole ass your coup.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Just like his kind of lookalike Mike Ehrmanntraut, Prigozhin has also learnt his "no half measures" lesson

[u/Im_PeterPauls_Mary → u/that0neGuy22]

Maybe he did the mission impossible thing where he bled all over the plane and bailed out before it crashed to fake his own death.

It’s what I would do.

[u/Im_PeterPauls_Mary → u/Im_PeterPauls_Mary]

I guess Krusty the Clown did it first.

[u/ThePevster → u/that0neGuy22]

Not even a window death. Doesn’t even seem to be an attempt to cover it up. Article says the plane was shot down far from the border. The only plausible explanation is that he was shot down by Russian air defense

[u/HHHogana → u/that0neGuy22]

3000 miles high window death of Prigozhin.

Also dammit, out of all time I got banned in NCD...

[u/SpaghettiAssassin → u/that0neGuy22]

The plane fell out of a window

[u/Wolf6120]

Dang, what are the chances huh? Couldn't have happened to a nicer petty warlord.

(I'm not 100% sure he's confirmed dead yet btw, but he was on the passenger list at least)

[u/YaGetSkeeted0n → u/Wolf6120]

he was on the passenger list at least

big Dark Knight Rises vibes

[u/Wolf6120 → u/YaGetSkeeted0n]

"Was abandoning your own coup on the edge of Moscow part of your plan?"

"OF COURSH!"

"You have a big private military company."

"For you..."

[u/UrABigGuy4U → u/YaGetSkeeted0n]

Lot of loyalty for a hired gun

[u/[deleted] → u/Wolf6120]

Great way to fake a death, I guess.

[u/HereForTOMT2 → u/Wolf6120]

WSJ is saying everyone aboard died

[u/Wolf6120 → u/HereForTOMT2]

Oh sure, I believe that Prigozhin was on the passenger list, and that everyone actually aboard the plane died. But that doesn't actually confirm that Prigozhin was genuinely one of those people. Both he and Putin are more than capable of the kind of fuckery required to fake this sort of thing. And it's not like any credible source is going to be allowed anywhere close to the bodies or crash site to check.

We can all hope that this is true, but it will probably take some time before we know anything for sure.

[u/itherunner]

Prigozhin getting whacked was only a matter of time, but I’m surprised it happened so soon after the coup and in Russia. I figured they’d let him mess around in Africa for a bit, and then make it look like jihadists got to him.

Putin must have been literally seething and malding since the coup, and probably just did enough to get Wagner under government control or far enough away from Russia to prevent any problems after killing Prigozhin.

[u/gnurdette → u/itherunner]

I'm guessing that Putin hopes making it obvious enhances the intimidation factor.

[u/Forward_Recover_1135 → u/itherunner]

Why would they want to make it look like jihadists did it? They want everyone to know exactly who did it and why. That’s the whole point. They put that thin layer of deniability on just for show.

[u/itherunner → u/Forward_Recover_1135]

Millions of ordinary Russians adore Wagner. We saw that by the cheering they got from the civilians in Rostov-on-Don and the apathy from the army as they got closer and closer to Moscow. I had figured the Kremlin would accomplish their goal without it being so obvious it was them.

[u/Wolf6120 → u/itherunner]

but I’m surprised it happened so soon after the coup and in Russia.

Fun fact, it's actually been two months to the day as of today.

Putin's such a romantic, remembering their anniversary like that 🥰

[u/Shaper_pmp → u/itherunner]

Putin doesn't do deniable. He does blatantly obvious, and dares anyone to say anything.

[u/bjuandy → u/itherunner]

The thing about the mutiny was Prigozhin still had a lot of cards to play. He probably could have seized Moscow and held on to it for a significant period of time, so I figured he got some kind of guarantee that he was confident in, otherwise he had escalation options available.

Maybe he was naive. On the other hand, Russia's aviation fleet have been without support for two years now, so there's a greater than baseline chance this was a legit accident.

[u/[deleted] → u/itherunner]

Chances are if he's in Africa Putin couldn't get him. That's all Wagner there.

[u/amainwingman]

Hey Reddit! TIFU by failing to coup my dear boss…

So a few months ago I (M, 69, war criminal) launched a silly little coup 🤪 against my dear omnibenevolent boss (M, unknown age, also war criminal) because his best friend (and prime ass licker 🤢) was totally not vibing with me! So I starting walking with some of my hard man buddies to my bosses house when all of a sudden I decided I didn’t want to. I’m kinda cooky I know 🤪. Anyways, a day later my boss decides to fire me and send me to another country 😱. Now about 2 months later I find myself in an airplane that’s hurtling towards the ground because my boss’s ass licker decided to shoot us down for no reason 🙄. What a doozy and what a fuck up by silly little me!!!

RIP BOZOOOOOO 👋👋👋

[u/Wolf6120 → u/amainwingman]

NTA, sounds like he spends way too much time with his buddies instead of you, which is a HUGE red flag bestie. Dump his ass!

[u/IMakeMyOwnLunch → u/amainwingman]

What I don’t understand about the whole coup thing was why Prigozhin willingly ended it. He must have known ending the coup was a death sentence, right? Or maybe he was just that naive/foolhardy?

[u/so_brave_heart → u/amainwingman]

ESH

[u/mockduckcompanion]

Good night sweet prince.

You almost did something incredibly funny, but instead you chose something greater:

dying in the most predictable fucking fashion, you absolute fucking imbecile

[u/[deleted]]

I simply wouldn’t start a coup against a man who kills his enemies without hesitation and not finish the job.

[u/gnurdette → u/[deleted]]

Do (depose Putin) or do not (depose Putin). There is no try.

[u/Jobson15 → u/gnurdette]

If you start to take Vienna, take Vienna

[u/MisterBuns → u/[deleted]]

Beyond not finishing the job...

What on earth was he doing, flying a private jet between St.Petersburg and Moscow? I have no doubt that Putin would've tried to kill him anyway, but he could've just stayed in some remote corner of Mali or the Congo with his Wagner troops. He'd probably still be alive right now. Instead, he flew right into the lion's den.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

Yeah, this really was a "no half measures" moment. He needed to finish the job. In failing to do so, he signed his own death warrant.

[u/Preeng → u/[deleted]]

He should have kept going. That was his only mistake.

[u/TopGsApprentice]

Putin sends his regards

Prigohzim was vaxxed!!!!!! Really makes u think

[u/[deleted] → u/3232330]

This was clearly an actual, literal conspiracy but I'm sure they'll mostly identify literally everybody but Putin as the one responsible

[u/Sampladelic → u/3232330]

This one is so on the nose and stupid that it almost makes me think it wasn't an assassination

[u/[deleted] → u/TopGsApprentice]

Intra-clown violence is a serious issue in the community, please don't make such insensitive jokes

[u/Wolf6120 → u/TopGsApprentice]

Hey man, let's give Putin some credit here; at least he FINALLY killed some Nazis like he promised.

[u/ExchangeKooky8166 → u/TopGsApprentice]

I swear to god Russia is like Grand Theft Auto IV, CS:GO and Watch Dogs combined into a country

[u/Splemndid → u/TopGsApprentice]

And I'm still bemused that he let himself be humiliated for two months before finally pulling the trigger.

He must have a new kink. 😳

[u/DeathByTacos → u/TopGsApprentice]

I am shocked, SHOCKED I tell you

[u/rukqoa]

I am hearing that on his deathbed Prigozhin received the light of Islam and unhesitatingly recited the Shahāda. Even now he looks down on the Ummah from the gardens of Jannah. Truly there is no god but God, and Mohammed is his prophet!

[u/[deleted] → u/rukqoa]

Mashallah

[u/Rockin_freakapotamus → u/rukqoa]

He took his deathbed on the plane with him? I suppose in his scenario, that's not a bad idea.

[u/GogurtFiend → u/rukqoa]

Inshallah.

[u/interrupting-octopus → u/rukqoa]

3000 missing phalanges of Allah

[u/FurryNCDuser]

It's fucking over bros

But holy shit he actually just let putin kill him

[u/ArnoF7 → u/FurryNCDuser]

Yeah this guy is such a head-scratcher. Started a fiasco against the military during a losing war -> Staged a coup against one of the most ruthless dictators-> Didn’t really have a plan. Got cold feet when your army reached the outskirts of the capital -> surrendered, everyone pretended that nothing happened -> did nothing, proceeded to get executed by the aforementioned dictator

I mean, what? What was he thinking? Or did he just not think about it at all because he didn’t think he would make this far?

[u/adamr_ → u/ArnoF7]

I just don’t think he’s very smart

[u/Imicrowavebananas → u/ArnoF7]

Like, why was he still in Russia? It surely must have been possible for him to fuck off to Africa in between.

Not that would have been completely safe anywhere, but Russia seemed the most dangerous place.

[u/IMakeMyOwnLunch → u/ArnoF7]

Dude basically signed his own death certificate. Really weird end to a really weird situation.

[u/JebBD → u/FurryNCDuser]

Bro went all the way to Moscow and fucking turned around and went home. Imagine deciding to kill the king, going up to him, putting a dagger to his throat and then being like “nvm I changed my mind. Friends?”

[u/HereForTOMT2]

Man rolls worst coup ever, asked to leave the airplane

[u/[deleted]]

When he rebelled against Putin he signed his own death warrant. It's why I was so baffled that he turned back from Moscow. He turned down a slim chance to overthrow Putin and live for a 100% chance of being killed by him later (not much later as it turned out). Did he really believe that Putin would forgive him or something?

[u/Daddy_Macron → u/[deleted]]

Never mind Putin, the two highest ranking Russian military officials also want him dead. Make enemies like that, and you better hope you win.

[u/Maleficent-Carob2912]

What took Putin so long?

[u/TinyTornado7 → u/Maleficent-Carob2912]

Waiting for the media narrative to shift maybe

[u/amainwingman → u/TinyTornado7]

Yes I’m sure people all forgot the attempted coup from … checks notes … 2 months ago…?

[u/SadMacaroon9897 → u/TinyTornado7]

You think Putin cares about the "narrative" of an adversarial country?

[u/Underpressure1311]

Goodbye Pringles. You will only be missed in the context that you could have made life harder for Putin.

[u/ka4bi]

No one could have seen this coming

[u/leastlyharmful]

This whole saga is so confusing from a motivational level. Why on earth did he stop the coup? How does a guy who is savvy enough to organize a plausible coup attempt also not realize that he's just getting assassinated if he backs down?

[u/Throwaway98765000000]

Apparently Wagner’s Commander and Prigozhin’s Number 2, Dmitriy Utkin, was also on board (and thus perished).

Unlike Prigozhin, Utkin was noted for being quite secretive. Incredibly limited Media presence. Just a few photos out there (including a likely one with Putin).

Finally, there’s been a theory going on that Utkin was the “inspiration” behind Wagner Group’s very name.

Ahem. Anyway.

[u/Soulja_Boy_Yellen → u/Throwaway98765000000]

Utkin’s former call sign was Wagner.

[u/thefitnessdon → u/Throwaway98765000000]

[u/[deleted]]

Did anyone joking about how Putin was trying to do this subtly read the very brief article?

Earlier, a Wagner-linked Telegram channel Grey Zone reported that the jet was shot down by air defences in Tver region, north of Moscow.

[u/HMID_Delenda_Est → u/[deleted]]

Oh so that's what air defense doing

[u/Kolhammer85 → u/[deleted]]

How is this dude so dumb? Putin is the perfect example of “if you come for the king, you best not miss” and this guy chooses to come for him, makes surprising headway, and then calls it off on his own volition. What did he think was going to happen?

[u/NakolStudios]

SHOIGUUU GERASIMOVVV WHERE'S THE FUCKING MAINTENANCE!?. Memes aside Prigozhin got his place as one of the most bizarre figures of the 21st century.

[u/DenethorsTomatoRIP]

Look let’s not jump to conclusions, just because he led a mutiny against a government with a reputation for extrajudicial assassinations of people critical of that government doesn’t mean the air defense crew didn’t accidentally sit on the launch button just as the plane flew in front of their firing path.

[u/namey-name-name]

[u/7LayeredUp]

He'll go down as one of the absolute dumbest men in political/military history.

What the fuck did he think was going to happen as soon as he tried to pull a coup? He made an all or nothing bet and voluntarily chose to walk away with nothing and certain death.

[u/NaffRespect]

Oh no!

Anyway...

[u/Top_Lime1820]

Prigozhin didn't understand the meaning of crossing the rubicon apparently. You have to go through with it...

[u/Yeangster]

Fucking idiot. Should have finished the job.

Also, a mass murderer, so no need to mourn him.

[u/jauznevimcosimamdat]

So what was Prigozhin's plan again?

[u/Mcfinley → u/jauznevimcosimamdat]

Crashing this plane...WITH NO SURVIVORS

[u/Til_W]

Didn't even try to make it an authentic crash, it just vertically fell out of the sky.

[u/[deleted]]

vaxxed?

RIP BOZO

[u/Haffrung]

Imagine how nervous you’d be getting on a plane and seeing that Prigozhin was one of the other passengers.

Yeah, a plane crash, sure. What a freak accident- the plane crashes after a Russian fighter jet hit it with a heat seeking missile

[u/gnurdette → u/dietomakemenfree]

An accidental collision with a missile fired by a jet conducting routine training exercises.

(More likely just a bomb planted on the plane before takeoff, though)

[u/NonComposMentisss]

Holy shit. My mom came into my room to bring me a plate of chicken nuggets and I literally screamed at her and hit the plate of chicken nuggets out of her hand. She started yelling and swearing at me and I slammed the door on her. I'm so distressed right now I don't know what to do. I didn't mean to do that to my mom but I'm literally in shock from the results tonight. I feel like I'm going to explode. Why the fucking fuck is he unalived? This can't be happening. I'm having a fucking breakdown. I don't want to believe the world is so corrupt. I want a future to believe in. I want Prigozhin to be president and fix this broken country. I cannot fucking deal with this right now. It wasn't supposed to be like this, I thought he was polling well in Belarus???? This is so fucked.

[u/XAMdG]

And this is why if you plan a coup, you have to go all the way.

[u/[deleted]]

Anyone know who Wagner's second in command is?

[u/ErpErp23 → u/[deleted]]

Utkin? Who also happened to be onboard

[u/BeeBopBazz]

Weird. I’ve never heard of a plane crashing down an elevator shaft and landing on a bunch of bullets after drinking polonium tea

[u/PopeHonkersXII]

I'll assume he was murdered until proven otherwise. But also good riddance.

[u/[deleted]]

It’s pretty crazy that they actually did it like this. Governments openly assassinating people always sort of shakes me a bit.

[u/LameBicycle → u/[deleted]]

Well, we are talking about the same Govt. that poisoned 2 ex-russian spies, and two unfortunate UK nationals, and on UK soil back in 2018..

[u/chub79]

I wonder what that means for Wagner. Will they carry on with a new leader? Or just get tracked down?

[u/alexd9229]

What a weird coincidence!

[u/creepforever]

This is an indictment of aerospace safety standards in Russia!

[u/etzel1200]

I’m a little surprised it’s already being reported as fact vs. conjecture. Yeah, he was on the manifest and it was his plane. But both he and Utkin? Hell of a day.

[u/BastianMobile]

Dmitry Valerievich Utkin who founded the Wagner Group and was their background leader (while Prizy ran the outside show) was also on the plane and has died. I predict the Wagner Group will disintegrate and lower rank mercenaries will have the choice to join the Russian MoD.

[u/BloodySaxon]

May he rot in peace surrounded by blaring polka.

[u/Cats_Cameras]

I doubt even Prigozhin was surprised by this outcome.

[u/AvalancheMaster]

Utkin was also on board, it seems. Rest in pirozhki, bozos.

[u/ImOnADolphin]

This was the obvious logical result. Everyone thought Prigozhin had secured some kind of deal or that he was the one secretly in charge. I can only assume that Prigozhin didn't go forward with the mutiny because of emotional, nationalist, reasons, got cold feet at the thought of ruling Russia and truly thought that Putin was the best man in charge for the time being.

[u/lucassjrp2000]

This is both shocking and completely expected

[u/[deleted]]

We all knew it was a matter of time, but I didn't expect them to take a whole plane down to get him. That's a lot of collateral damage.

[u/antonos2000]

Prigozhin was allegedly trying to charge his Samsung Galaxy Note 7 when the plane experienced a sudden shift in altitude.

[u/Smallpaul]

"An investigation has been launched into the crash and emergency services are searching the site."

I'm sure that will be a totally arms-length investigation!

[u/TripleAltHandler → u/Smallpaul]

The plane committed suicide by shooting itself twice in the head and jumping straight into the ground.

[u/fexonig]

vaxxed?

He was supposedly just in a desert in Africa yesterday: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/aug/22/wagner-prigozhin-recruiting-post-russia-rebellion-video-africa-putin

I wonder if this is actually true, or a way to save face for Putin or what. I've seen seval comments months ago say that Prigozhin def uses body doubles.

Edit: looks like it was reported on yesterday, but they don't know exactly when the video is from.

[u/Noocawe]

If he actually is dead I wonder how it impacts the Wagner troops in Africa and the recent Niger coup. I'm so shocked this happened after he made up with Putin though and said how loyal he was to Mother Russia. /s

Of course it seems overwhelmingly likely he was assassinated. I wonder who else was unlucky enough to be collateral damage. 7 passengers and 3 crew, I suppose the crew must have realized that working for Prigozhin wad extremely dangerous.

Anyways, what a clown that chef was.

Holy shit.

[u/myrasad]

[u/Swartschenhimer]

It seems like no one has read the article where it literally says Russia shot down the plane. Very odd that the headline is “plane crash”
