    If Putin wants him dead and Prigozhin is in Russia, there’s not much he can do to avoid his fate.

      If Prig got dusted, better hope there aren’t to many of his comrades in arms who don’t hold a grudge. Because Russia has been dredging the prisons and slums to give uniforms to. And Wagner’s crew are to say the least a bit more motivated (ie fucken bloodthirsty)
