I'm honestly surprised that he lasted this long

I feel like when the attempted coup fizzled out there was a Russia expert who predicted he's be dead within 90 days. Sounds like that guy was right.

Honestly didn't need to be a expert on Russia to predict that

No kidding, literally everyone figured he'd be dead soon. Not sure how he didn't realize that.

Yeah I just read an article two days ago where he had sent out some videos via telegram showing he was still alive. Kinda surprising, then boom.

"Person vaguely aware of how Russia works predicts Prigozhin will be dead in 90 days". That headline doesn't have quite the same ring to it.

Weirdly enough, it's exactly two months between the mutiny and his death. Interestingly enough, the invasion started on 24th as well. Weird.
