[Gifted NYT link - no paywall ].After Prigozhin’s Death, a High-Stakes Scramble for His Empire
A shadowy fight is playing out on three continents for control of Yevgeny Prigozhin’s sprawling interests as head of the Wagner mercenary group.

A pro-Kyiv group of Russians fought
Who called upon the Wagner Group to switch sides
As revenge for Prigozhin's death
They plotted their next breath
So their mission could be satisfied

Ask yourself. Do dignitaries ride in the dignitary-expected vehicle, or another nondescript vehicle? PerSec people!
