The only surprising thing about the news that Yevgeny Prigozhin has been killed is how long it has taken, and, I suppose, that no windows appear to have been involved. Prigozhin, the Wagner chief who led a mutiny against Putin in June, perished when the plane in which he was flying was (it seems) shot down over Russia.

“Putin’s chef” appears to have been cooked.
