<p>Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-russian-warlord-prigozhin-who-tried-to-overthrow-putin-reportedly-dead-in-plane-crash" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reportedly killed</a> when a private jet crashed a short distance outside Moscow on Wednesday. Russian authorities confirmed that all ten passengers — including Prigozhin — had perished in the crash.</p>
<p>But the reported safe landing of a second jet linked to the Wagner Group — the Russian paramilitary organization Prigozhin <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/prigozhin-halts-wagners-advance-toward-russias-capital-as-his-forces-neared-100-miles-from-moscow-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">led in revolt</a> against Putin just weeks earlier — <a href="https://nypost.com/2023/08/24/second-jet-spotted-after-prigozhin-crash-sparks-conspiracy-theories/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sparked rumors</a> that the group&#8217;s former chief might have faked his own death.</p>
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
<p lang="en" dir="ltr">Shortly after the Crash in the Tver Region, a 2nd Business Jet owned by Yevgeny Prigozhin that was heading along a similar Route from St. Petersburg landed in Moscow. <a href="https://t.co/Exl760OeAo">pic.twitter.com/Exl760OeAo</a></p>

<p>The Embraer ERJ-135BJ Legacy 650 landed at Ostafyevo airport in St. Petersburg around the same time the other plane crashed, and conspiracy theorists soon began to wonder whether Prigozhin — who has faked his own death at least once in the past and knew that the Kremlin considered him a marked man — had pulled a last-minute switch.</p>
<p>Prigozhin, 62, was <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/ex-cia-head-petraeus-prigozhin-lost-his-wagner-group-should-be-very-careful-around-open-windows" target="_blank" rel="noopener">rumored to be in mortal danger</a> — likely on a direct order from Russian President Vladimir Putin — shortly after the failed coup attempt and after Putin declared that <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/russia-drops-criminal-case-against-prigozhin-soldiers-who-participated-in-mutiny-will-not-be-punished" target="_blank" rel="noopener">all charges</a> against the paramilitary leader had been dropped.</p>
<p>A <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2023/08/23/europe/russia-wagner-prigozhin-plane-crash-analysis-intl-hnk/index.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> from CNN on Thursday detailed some of the background on Prigozhin&#8217;s history, explaining why so many were ready to believe that he had not been aboard the plane that crashed the day before.</p>

<p>The former Wagner Group leader often employed elaborate disguises and had several passports and identification documents at his disposal. He had also reportedly previously employed at least one body double.</p>
<p>Adding fuel to the fire, Russian propagandist Vladimir Solovyov reportedly accused Ukrainians and their allies of &#8220;spreading a fake message about the death of Yevgeny Prigozhin&#8221; in the hours after the crash.</p>
<p>Also worth mentioning is that Prigozhin &#8220;died&#8221; once before — in <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/tv/news/prigozhin-wagner-alive-russia-plane-crash-b2398536.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">another plane crash</a>, no less — only to appear three days later. The plane crash in question took place in Congo in 2019.</p>
<p>Kyiv-based journalist John Sweeney mentioned Prigozhin&#8217;s history on &#8220;Good Morning Britain&#8221; on Thursday, saying, &#8220;Prigozhin has got [a] previous for this. In 2019, he was supposed to be on a plane in the Congo. It crashed, and it turned out he wasn’t on the plane, so you have to worry a little about this. He’s kind of like a vampire. Are we really sure he’s dead?&#8221;</p>
