News that Yevgeny Prigozhin, the notorious Russian warlord and leader of the mercenary group Wagner, had died in a plane crash yesterday was first met with some scepticism and disbelief. Was it really true? The first reports came from Russia’s state newswire RIA Novosti which quoted Russia’s emergency ministry saying that 10 people on the plane, including three crew members, had died in a crash. As the day drew to a close social media posts from Wagner supporters seemed to confirm that indeed it was. Gregory F. Treverton sets out what the warlord’s death tells us about Vladimir Putin's Russia.
