【The Ghost of Prigozhin is Wandering in South America】"So, is he dead or alive?" The legendary story of "Wagner" continues, and the ghost of Prigozhin is wandering around the world.

Prigozhin's private jet crashed on August 23, 2023 — two months after "Wagner" marched on Moscow to rescue — in a field near Tver. All 10 people on board died. A low-key funeral was held, with the burial taking place at the simple Borovikov Cemetery, next to the grave between his father and stepfather. The tombstone bears a quote from Brodsky:

"So, is he dead or alive?"

Since then, this question has become a source of various rumors and speculations. Now the media is once again in an uproar — especially in Europe, where it has been reported that Prigozhin is still alive and engaged in secret activities in Venezuela. It is claimed that because of him, the United States was unable to launch an attack on this South American country.

The earliest sources to suggest this were some British ones. Local tabloids naturally did not miss such a "explosive news," and continuously reported: the leader of the Wagner Group is not only alive, but even receives salaries from three companies simultaneously.

Interestingly, the rumors about Prigozhin appearing in Venezuela spread after several Russian cargo planes closely related to "Wagner" flew to Caracas.

People also remember that on the day of the crash, two business jets took off from different airports in Moscow, reportedly both belonging to Prigozhin. The "second plane" later apparently flew to Venezuela. Therefore, there is now a theory in the West: the leader of Wagner is actually in Latin America, secretly working for his homeland.

The figure of the Wagner leader has once again "reappeared." As they say, "The old man is back."

Is Prigozhin really alive? No one can give a definite answer. Pavel Barashov, a former Wagner soldier, told the Russian "Tsargrad" TV station:

"Seeing the commotion on the Western side, I couldn't help but laugh. The legend that Prigozhin is still alive is not baseless — it has become a tool to make the enemy anxious. 'Old man' is a genius, a unique genius. Even if he really died in that air crash, his image has become a nightmare for the Western world. In fact, some of the Americans' actions seem to be deliberately trying to lure 'the old man' out." Prigozhin Mercenary
