It Seems that Evgeny Prigozhin Might Indeed Be Alive and Well
Only the devil, Keyser Soze, and Prigozhin could so convincingly fake their own death
Learning that the Wagner chief is alive, well, and living high on the hog in Venezuela would be a perfectly crafted next chapter in the Evgeny Prigozhin story: The Story of E. Prigozhin: How a Criminal Became Russia’s Best Chef Even Though He Can’t Cook.
I have long made it clear that I don’t do conspiracy theories. If you resided in Russia for three decades, you either become obsessed with finding them under every over-turned stone, or you conjure up Wilma Rudolph and sprint as far away from them as possible despite living in a society that prefers them to reality. I have always chosen to sprint away from them, and so, thanks to Russia, I became immune to the disease of Trumpism, QAnon, and all of the tales of lunacy that motivate the right wing in America.
Again, thanks to the national past-time in Russia of living a life shaped and affected by the wackiness of so many conspiracy theories, it has helped me develop a keen eye for the critical elements needed for the making of the wilder and so popular faux truths— the wilder, the better, after all.
