On 24 June during Prigozhin’s march on Moscow we all thought the nonsense and the collapse of the state couldn’t get any worse. But once again, as they say, Putin outplayed us all, showing that there’s always further to fall. On 23 August, exactly two months after Prigozhin’s military rebellion, his plane was shot down over Tver Oblast.

Prigozhin committed a lot of crimes. I have my own personal account with him – three journalists murdered in the CAR. In Ukraine he did enough to earn several life sentences. In any state, Prigozhin should be in prison. But Russia has no state left. That was very clearly demonstrated in the sky above Tver Oblast.

What is the Wagner Group? How did it benefit Putin? How did Prigozhin obtain constitutional presidential powers? And, most importantly, why does Prigozhin's murder constitute Russia a failed state? Hit play and learn more!
