Yevgeny Prigozhin dies in plane "crash"
I guess all the food tasters weren't enough. Putin is such a gangster. The man has left a trail of bodies all over the world and everybody knows who gave the orders. He has reached the point where he doesn't even care about plausible deniability. It's like a mafia don has taken over an entire country (and its de-facto state church). Not that I'm shedding any tears for Prigozhin. He was a stone cold killer in his own right.
The Russian government is effectively an organized crime syndicate, and the Russian Orthodox Church is fronting for it.
ANAXIOS!

Paris in the Twilight of the Second Empire
Excellent images of Paris from the 1860s. I found the choice of background music somewhat distracting, but the mute button proved an easy remedy.
