His fate remains unclear. Several Russian news outlets reported, citing anonymous sources, that he was indeed on the plane that crashed. But Grey Zone, a Telegram account associated with the Wagner group, posted that it remained uncertain whether Prigozhin was dead or alive. U.S. officials also said they were unable to confirm his death. Dmitri Utkin, Wagner’s most prominent commander, was also on the passenger manifest. Frustrated over the country’s military leadership, Prigozhin instigated a short rebellion two months ago with his Wagner forces that posed a threat to President Vladimir Putin. Despite his actions, he appeared to move about freely in the mutiny’s aftermath, including meeting with the president on June 29. A falling out: After years of supporting Putin, Prigozhin began to openly criticize the Russian government.

Communism is unpopular in Japan. Economic growth is gospel. The book would be a tough sell. Except it wasn’t. Since its release in 2020, it has sold more than 500,000 copies and is about to be translated into English. Saito has tapped into what he describes as a growing disillusionment in Japan with capitalism’s ability to solve problems, whether it’s caring for the nation’s growing older population, stemming its rising inequality or mitigating climate change.
