“Even in Russia, where the line between fact and fiction is often impossibly blurred”
If Russians are aware that they’re constantly being lied to, they’re ahead of us.
The Russian word for this is vranyo, which might be translated as: “When I lie to you, you know I am lying to you, I know you know I am lying, and I still lie to you.” Ben MacIntyre

Of course he is. He’s been a dead man walking since the failed coup.

Is he really dead? Or is this some giant spoof?

And yet it’s been announced Prigozhin won’t be getting a state funeral, and Putin won’t be attending.

Effectively he waged the entire war, 2014 until recently, installing a mercenary force to take on the nationalist militias in the Donbas.
I wonder if he’s been polished off because the word down the wire is that Nuland and Blinken want to retreat back to the Minsk Accords in time for Elections 2024?

Only caveat is that the one group that fully supports the war, centered around the War Bloggers, probably won’t be fooled by any propaganda about Prigozhin.
They know he was the last effective fighter the Russians had. And after the Ukrainians take Tokmak, and then Melitopol, it will be much harder to conceal Putin’s massive defeat in this war.
Propaganda can only go so far.

There’s a big difference between political spin and biased news media in the West, and state controlled propaganda in Russia. A big difference!
