    Ok, I’ll do it…
    He’s alive and well and this is a bit of theatre agreed upon between Putler and him to save face in all directions.*

      A plane crash can make it easier to claim an alive man is dead as there may not be a body.

      I could see this as a means to keep Wagner troops loyalties in check, or just to keep everyone guessing. The most likely scenario though is that Putin did what Putin does which is assassination.

        The body doesn’t magically disappear. Although it is probably in many, many pieces, this can be confirmed through DNA testing on small samples.

          DNA testing that Russian investigators will do in Russia. And as we all know, they are trustworthy as fuck

            Wouldn’t they want to do that to show off their work? Or I guess not so they can distance themselves from it and pretend it never happened.

      I think its equally likely he was shot down/plane sabotaged, this is fake face saving thing, or the plane crashed due to shoddy mechanics. Whatever the case, the uncertainty works out in Putin’s favour.

      And if this is a fake-out, I think it’ll be found out pretty easily. He is not so adept at disguises.
