I think we all saw this coming.

Not me, I thought he was going to be overtaken with remorse and bludgeon himself to death from behind in a tragic suicide.

After shooting himself in the back of the head twice, then jumping out the window.

Wtf was he thinking, flying back into Russia after being given an out? 😂

[–] stebo02@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

did he ever get out of Russia though?

Welcome to Hotel Russia-onia, you can check out but you can never leave.

Wasn't he in Belarus recently, threatening to take a large contingent of the Wagner group to "sightsee" in Poland?

he was coming back from africa that day, day before he released a video yelling about something in sahel

before that, after mutiny he was effectively exiled to belarus

[–] Rose@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

The exile was a lie. He constantly flew back and forth, and even attended a summit hosted by Putin.

[–] Rose@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Where else could he be? The West wouldn't let him cross, while any ally of Russia would cooperate with Putin. Not that it even has to be an ally after all the assassinations in Europe.

He has more than enough money to escape to south america and never be heard from again.

[–] Rose@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

South American countries are on good terms with Putin, being some of the few that let any Russian enter visa-free. Taking him out would be almost as easy in those countries.

[–] bobman@unilem.org 0 points 1 year ago

South America is a big place with lots of nooks and crannies and different cultures to hide in and blend with.

I'm sure someone as wealthy as Prigo could've lived a very modest lifestyle without ever having to work again and staying incognito for the rest of his days in South America. If South America is really too dangerous (it isn't) then he also has Asia. There are so many options for rich people it's insane.

Hey what is the last thing that went thru his mind?

Metal.
