Remember how the crowds cheered Prigozhin when he was leaving Rostov after his coup?

Prigozhin was loved by millions who consider Putin weak on Ukraine.
Those feelings were especially widespread in the military.
There are now rumors of a second coup

UPDATE, from a polish Daily:
LEAK: Shrapnel found in the corpses of Prigozhin's plane passengers is consistent with the Russian S-300 air defense missile.

But, expect the Kremlin narrative to blame one of Prigozhin's pilots, Artem Stepanov, who had "access" to the plane and "planted a bomb." https://t.co/jFAXid2jH2 pic.twitter.com/8IGFYhpyYA
And for those who still harbor any thought that Putin did not assassinate Prigozhin, there is this recent report:
Further Update:
Russia's investigative committee states that all 10 bodies from the crash site (of Prigozhin's plane) have been identified via DNA tests, and "they match the passenger list". I.e. they declare Prigozhin officially dead. pic.twitter.com/rQlwpv1caj
