    It seems like oddly coincidental timing that Russia also officially relieved Surovikin as head of the airforce today (he still hasn’t been seen since the mutiny): https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/aug/23/russia-removes-sergei-surovikin-as-head-of-aerospace-forces

    Not saying he’s definitely dead, but I doubt this is him faking his own death so much as him slipping an assassination attempt if he’s alive.

      Ah yes. The general who the Kremlin said was “resting.” Nothing ominous about that.

        Death is the ultimate rest

      Agreed, coordinated take down of Prigozhin and his allies.
