Summary

Wagner Group leader, Yevgeny Prigozhin, appears to have been killed in a fatal plane crash. Just two months ago, Prigozhin was seen as a contender to Putin’s empire. What next for his forces, his legacy and the future of Russia? Chris Jones is joined in the Bunker by Dr Ian Garner, analyst of Russian culture and war propaganda to cut through the smoke and mirrors to try and work out just what has happened. “We only know one thing for sure — a plane went down.“ "Prigozhin was trying to overturn the country, however in death he can become a war hero.” “We’ve just come to expect these wild events when discussing Russia.” www.patreon.com/bunkercast Written and presented by Chris Jones.
