I think the key thing is that there isn't really a compelling reason why Russia would want to take his death. And if prigozhin has actually just faked his death to go retire on an island somewhere, the result for the rest of the world is practically the same

Putin wanting him dead isn't a good enough reason? Putin has done everything so far for ego alone.

Russia could have reason to fake his death, but that would be only to facilitate them killing him in a more gruesome way.

Until he gets pulled out of retirement for one final stand. This is like the type of shit you'd see in a movie, it practically writes itself. Reality is stranger than fiction lol

I still think he's dead for real though.
