Russia's aviation agency had previously published the names of all 10 people on board. This list included Prigozhin & Dmitry Utkin, his right-hand man who helped found the Wagner group.
Throughout Putin's political career, dozens of powerful rivals have died—in circumstances far too opaque for Russian authorities to even trouble themselves with the pretence of an investigation.
Russian investigators have opened a probe into what happened, but have not yet said what they suspect caused the plane to suddenly fall from the sky northwest of Moscow.
Vladimir Putin promised a full investigation, but its outcome is unlikely to shake a widespread belief that Prigozhin was killed as an act of vengeance for staging a mutiny late June.
From Oppn figure Alexei Navalny to businessman Boris Berezovsky & ex-FSB officer Alexander Litvinenko, many of Putin's critics have purportedly been targeted or died mysterious deaths.
The plane crashed on Wednesday near Russia’s Kuzhenkino on its way from Moscow to St. Petersburg and killed all 10 people on board – seven passengers and three crew members.
In a Telegram video, Prigozhin speaks of making Russia greater on all continents & Africa more free. He is seen standing in a desert area in camouflage with a rifle in his hands.
It can be argued that elements of virtually every one of Russia’s security services were complicit in Prigozhin's move – or at the very least apathetic to it.
