Putin (or whoever did the hit) did not throw Prigozhin out of a window. They threw the window out of Prigozhin, who happened to be in an airplane.

Putin waited patiently that all the wagner’s guys were in the same plane to make a strike. They were enough stupid to take offer him such a good opportunity. Wagner’s troops were already in difficulties now putins has cuts the heads.

I don’t know if Putin ordered it; he could have but there are others with the ability to kill who could do it.

If anyone had an interest in killing him, it would be the Russian Armed Forces. You also have the problem that this isn’t a typical assassination attempt; Putin doesn’t down a plane.

Putin has downed a plane before. Don’t see why he couldn’t have done it again.

it would be mighty embarrassing for Russia if he were to show up alive somewhere now, so this time I’ll believe them. they had every reason to kill him as publicly as they apparently have

I think he got scared and figured making his death seem as real as possible was a better alternative than not. The best way to run from your enemy is to make him think he already killed you, because then they stop looking. He wasn’t a stupid man and was known to be so paranoid he had all those body doubles and stuff like you said. It wouldn’t surprise me if he got unalived but IMO he wanted out from under Putins gaze.
