I wonder if he really is gone or this is just a ruse

Less suspicious than two 'self inflicted' shots to the back of the head 🤣

What benefit is there for Russia for this to be a ruse?

[-] Chariotwheel@kbin.social 12 points 1 year ago

It could be a ruse of his. Like, faking his death so the FSB won't come after him.

disappearing to sneak up on Putin action-movie style?
...nah, probably not for real. but maybe in some high schooler's homework in a couple decades!

[-] Jackolantern@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

It’s probably his ruse to hide from Putin

[-] NumbersCanBeFun@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago

Logical, I could see this as a possibility.

Occam’s razor.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Hours before the plane crash, news about the fate of another senior Russian figure emerged from Russian state media.

Gen. Sergei Surovikin, a top general who has been missing from public view since the mercenary rebellion, was dismissed as head of the country’s aerospace forces, Russian state media reported Wednesday.

The news followed months of speculation about Surovikin, who was known to have been close to Prigozhin.

Yevgeny Prigozhin was listed as one of 10 people aboard the plane involved in Wednesday's deadly crash north of Moscow, according to Russia's aviation authorities.

But the Kremlin itself, and most notably Russian president Vladimir Putin, has so far been silent on the dramatic incident.

The fate of the mercenary chief — once a close ally of Putin before he clashed with Moscow's military leadership then launched his aborted mutiny — will now hang over Russia's elite.


The original article contains 148 words, the summary contains 143 words. Saved 3%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

At least the summary doesn't contain more words than the original all article.....

[-] Wander@yiffit.net 4 points 1 year ago

I heard on the news that no one survived.

[-] there1snospoon@ttrpg.network 12 points 1 year ago

I mean no, no one would survive that.

The question is always whether he was truly on the plane or not.

His body doubles surgery hasn't healed yet. Give it more time.
