Fox News articles are now available in audio format, allowing users to listen to the news instead of reading it. On Wednesday night, the most searched name in America, besides GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, was Yevgeny Prigozhin, a Russian warlord associated with the mercenary group The Wagner Group. Reports of Prigozhin’s death in a plane crash hijacked the U.S. news cycle, diverting attention from the GOP debates. Preliminary analysis suggests that the crash was not accidental, but rather the result of a missile strike, bomb explosion, or sabotage from within Russia. As someone who has studied Russian intelligence and analyzed Vladimir Putin extensively, it is my belief that Prigozhin’s death was likely orchestrated by the Russian state and possibly authorized by Putin himself.
Prigozhin had been a loyalist to Putin for over two decades, but it seems that he lost the president’s trust after leading the “March of Justice” in June, which threatened to overthrow key leaders in the Russian military establishment. Putin condemned the march as an armed insurrection and treason. Putin has always been uncompromising when it comes to treason and traitors, stating that they deserve severe punishment. The concept of “Wet Deeds,” a doctrine developed by Soviet intelligence to eliminate threats to the regime, includes targeted assassinations such as killings, poisonings, kidnappings, and forced suicides.
The practice of “wet deeds” was carried out during the early days of the U.S.S.R., with Lenin and Stalin using it to eliminate perceived threats. High-profile examples include the assassination of Leon Trotsky and the attempted assassination of Pope John Paul II. Putin has revived this practice, renaming it “special tasks.” In 2002, he approved a law legalizing targeted assassinations as punishment for extremist activity. Many Russian journalists and political opposition leaders have fallen victim to these “wet affairs” after criticizing Putin or exposing government corruption.
These assassinations range from crude methods like shootings, stabbings, and staged accidents to more sophisticated techniques like poisonings. Russia has a history of using poison as a method of assassination because it can be executed discreetly. Notable poisoning cases likely orchestrated by Putin include Alexander Litvinenko, a former intelligence officer, and Alexei Navalny, a prominent critic of Putin. The Russians have perfected poison-derived murder weapons that mimic natural human ailments, making it appear as if the victim died from natural causes.
Special tasks require stealth and leave no trace of foul play, whether it’s a poisoning or an aircraft crash like the one that killed Prigozhin. The KGB has been known to camouflage its trail, making it difficult to gather complete information about their involvement.
