Many dupes of this breaking story. Earliest appears to be <https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37239087>

(I've notified HN mods via email as well.)

This is not the news of Prigozhin's (apparent) death.

This is an interview with Bellingcat's Christo Grozev from earlier this month where he states, among other things, that he expects Prigozhin to either die or attempt another coup within the next 6 months.

It's a very interesting interview, and I thought especially so given recent news.

NB: I re-read this piece late yesterday. It's quite good, and deserves a 2nd chance pool. Letting it wait a couple of days for the initial brouhaha to die down and catch the (more contemplative IMO) weekend crowd should help.

Fair enough, though 1) given the flurry of related items it's arguably duplicate by topic and 2) FT given Archive.Today's CAPTCHA loops and other brokenness is effectively irreparably paywalled presently.

For me this convoluted method for circumventing FT paywall works (currently):

1) delete ft.com cookies

2) search for the link in twitter search

3) click on FT link from a found tweet

On my mobile browser, I don't have a ready means to delete cookies, and despite having cookies disabled, FT paywalls.

Twitter. Oh, now you have two problems.

(I usually use Nitter to access tweets. That's also become iffy in recent months.)

That said, appreciate the option. The thanks here is more sincere than it probably reads.

Amongst my own workarounds, I've found that Archive Today seems to be more reliable when accessed via Tor Browser.
