Pretty weak form of identification. Would be much more certain if the body had something Prigozhin is known to have rather than the body lacking something Prigozhin is known to lack.

Still, I think we all kinda knew he was dead the moment he was like "Actually instead of instigating a civil war in Russia I'm going to take this very generous deal they offered me where my treachery sees almost no repercussions whatsoever."

Honestly, he probably wasn't dead at that moment. He could have been fine if he could have shut the fuck up. He'd likely be watched and essentially on house arrest for the rest of his life, but he could have lived. Anyway, good riddance. He was an evil bastard. Hopefully we get to say goodbye to Putin sometime soon too.

Isn't that how they knew Peter Pettigrew was dead as well? Remember how accurate that was.

[-] rbhfd@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago

If Prigozhin has to spent the rest of his life in hiding as the rat that he always was, I'm okay with that

[-] rbhfd@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

Also, does this mean we have to destroy Putin's horcruxes before we can stop him?

[-] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago

We're working on the orange one here in the US.

And the poor kid sleeping with Prigozhin every night?

[-] rbhfd@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

You mean Don Weasley?

DONALD WEASLEY! HOW DARE YOU STEAL THAT ELECTION?! I AM ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTED! YOUR NOW FACING AN INQUIRY AT WORK, AND IT'S ENTIRELY YOUR FAULT! IF YOU PUT ANOTHER TOE OUT OF LINE, WE'LL BRING YOU STRAIGHT TO JAIL!

[-] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Wasn't it the other way around, they only had a finger for Pettigrew?

[-] InverseParallax@lemmy.world 43 points 1 year ago

That's funny, I can still see him moving around the Marader's map. Must be a mistake.

[-] neumast@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago

The map does not make any mistake!

He seems like the sort of person who might keep a stack of bodies with the appropriate missing finger in the freezer for reasons.

[-] silentdon@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago

I'm about 63% sure he's nursing a cold drink in Australia right now.

[-] Da_Boom@iusearchlinux.fyi 3 points 1 year ago

That cocksucker better fucking not be.

[-] someguy3@lemmy.ca 25 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

He was identified by a missing part of his finger on his left hand, an injury suffered while he served time in a penal colony decades ago

I've seen this movie.

[-] mindbleach@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Does he have a watch up his ass?

[-] overzeetop@lemmy.world 23 points 1 year ago

You want a finger? I can get you a finger. It’s not his, Dude.

[-] vertigo3pc@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Hell, I can get you a finger by 2pm. You don't want to know from where...

[-] ElBarto@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

I'll get you one in 5 minutes, might be a little bit wet still tho, but it's the freshest finger this side of Moscow.

[-] Rapidcreek@reddthat.com 15 points 1 year ago

You want a finger? I can get you a finger, believe me. There are ways, Dude. You don't wanna know about it, believe me.

Bring out the reddit references!

Ha ha! I get it!

[-] pH3ra@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

These fucking amateurs... They send us a toe, we're supposed to shit ourselves with fear.

[-] Agamemnon@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Everyone should be aware that the final say is provided by Putin. And is a foregone conclusion - for purely tactical and propaganda reasons, the official version will be that Prigozhin is dead. And nobody will contest that - least of all Prigozhin himself.

[-] Jode@midwest.social 9 points 1 year ago

It's not like it would be completely unheard of to lose a finger after being in a small jet that got hit by a missile that then hurtled 30k ft to the ground and exploded.

[-] JWBananas@startrek.website 2 points 1 year ago

Really? It would heal over that quickly?

[-] Myro@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

I guess we are not going to know for sure for a long time.

Rules:

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
