Russia and Ukraine

[Anomalocaris]

My guess is that those on the plane were there bodily only. Scary to think who the other bodies on the plane could be. Hope it's not his family.

This would allow some face saving. Yes, there was a passionate disagreement, but he is a Soldier of Russia and he died with Honor!

i am sure Prigozhin had way more than 8 associates and lieutenants who were in on his plot.   some of them being mercenaries just means even less hassle for Putin to kill them extrajudicially. 

I think in the end many scores, probably hundreds, across wider russian society will be disposed of through extrajudicial means,  including ultra-nationalistic orthodox priests and gadflies with whom Progozhin communicated,  as well any with any influential figures who publically expressed sympathy with Prigozhin during the coup, anyone who hint from further to Putin’s right that Putin has outstayed his welcome is a threat to putin.

paradoxically Putin will probably more brutal to opposition from his right then to those from his left because that’s were more serious and unpredictable threat yo his position will come from.
