O how sad a old murderer died. You would think the flowers are for a movie star. Russia is strange .

[Cartoondude]

That's 1 major annoyance in this war disposed of!

[crableproductions]

All of these mourners should have been on the plane with Pringles too.

[donpark]

This guy was a brutal sadistic psychopath! Why would people mourn his suspicious demise. Good riddance.

[Backfromthedeadguy]

These people have no idea who they're mourning.

[kholeeko]

This whole incident is just far too convenient. I think we all know at this point as civilians trying to live our normal lives that no government, no matter what country you're from, is to never be trusted. Money and power = corruption and sin. Those who commit these wrong-doings will always justify their actions.
We are truly lost as a civilization if we continue down this rinse and repeat system we're all stuck inside of.

Government is taking everyone's picture, don't cry too much, you'll end up in Siberia, or in a tragic plane incident.

Wagner should honor prigozhin and make sure putin gets the same ending

[chrism]

Hey it’s that dude we all thought was gonna be a dead man and then coincidentally ended up dead…

[richardcrainium]

Well if your going to make a move on Puttin you better go all the way or your

[furbabies]

Moscow will be sweeping it up by this week. Same as they did with all the Graves

[ge]

Fun Fact: 6 months from now, half these mourners will die from falling out of windows. Accidentally of course.

[jorgemarin]

This might be the flicker that starts the flame

[Pete-da-peter]

He was more than a mercenary, he was Putin greatest challenge. He died because of that

[clint]

I remember during COVID a few medical personnel including doctors and nurses flew out of high rise hospital windows

[Jonathon]

Same reason people put flowers in front of Kim Jong Il’s shrines in North Korea 🇰🇵 🇷🇺 . Someone should burn it down

[recur]

You guys say he's mercenary because he's on the other side. For some, our boys overseas are considered mercenaries. He followed his orders. And when he felt his orders didn't protect his people, he gave new orders to protect his people knowning fully well what that meant

Prigozhin: Hated in the "West"; loved partly in Russia.

[ReneChewbaka]

Interesting public reaction... I don't quite believe this chapter is over just yet.... and I think Putina is watching it closely as well... stay tuned...

[nikita]

Why I have a strong feeling that perigozhin still alive?
