The leader of the Wagner Group mercenary front that marched his forces on Moscow just months ago was believed to be among 10 individuals who died in a plane crash Wednesday, according to Russia’s state news service.
Yevgeny Prigozhin, who led the failed revolt in June, was listed among 10 names on the private plane’s passenger list, according to the report from Tass, which cites the country’s aviation authority. All 10 people aboard the flight were killed.
Yet official confirmation that Prigozhin was among them was slow in coming.
Before the crash, Prigozhin – who had seemed to largely disappear from public view after he was permitted under a deal brokered by Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko to take refuge in his country in the wake of the mutiny – was widely believed to be in Africa. He released a recent video in which he can be seen armed in a desert landscape among troops, suggesting the Wagner group had returned to its roots of advancing Russian interest by trading securing guarantees for developmental rights.
“Wagner is conducting reconnaissance and search operations, making Russia even greater on every continent – and Africa even more free. Justice and happiness for the African nations,” he said in the video posted this week to his Telegram channel.
President Joe Biden, who was quiet on the rebellion as it unfolded, said what many were likely thinking when asked about the reports on Wednesday.
“I don’t know for a fact what happened, but I’m not surprised,” Biden said.
Asked if he thought it was the work of Russian President Vladimir Putin – whose enemies regularly fall victim to fatal accidents or mysterious attacks – Biden responded, “There’s not much that happens in Russia that Putin’s not behind. But I don’t know enough to know the answer.”
Prigozhin appeared to maintain a precarious position within Russian President Vladimir Putin’s inner circle, seemingly allowed to remain at the head of his forces and secure billions of dollars in government contracts despite his aborted rebellion against Moscow in June, when a column of some 25,000 Wagner troops loyal to him conducted a stunning about-face and marched along with fighting vehicles and heavy weaponry toward the capital.
Progozhin, who had been increasingly vocal about his dissatisfaction with Russia’s generals as well as the lack of resources supplied to his forces, said publicly that the move was in retaliation for a Russian attack on his forces, although U.S. intelligence indicated that Wagner troops had been amassing near the Russian border for some time. The troops – who were called upon to do some of the heaviest fighting in the ongoing war in Ukraine – marched on the southern Russian metropolis of Rostov-on-Don, seizing the headquarters building of the Russian command overseeing the war. Russian officials sought the arrest of Prigozhin and moved on his convoy. Skirmishes ensued, yet Russian troops reportedly cheered and waved the mercenaries through checkpoints while some even joined the column of Prigozhin’s men that began making its way to Moscow.
As quickly as it materialized, the threat dissipated, and Prigozhin issued a statement saying his mercenary front had achieved its ambition of seizing the Kremlin’s attention and was returning to the front lines. An arrest order was withdrawn and Prigozhin was permitted under a deal brokered by Lukashenko.
Reports later emerged of meetings between Prigozhin and Putin, and the mercenary leader was subsequently seen in St. Petersburg, where he was permitted access to his vast sums of money that had been seized by the government. The status of Wagner was less clear, with some troops joining regular Russian forces in Ukraine, some remaining in Belarus and some believed to have returned to operations in Africa.
Wagner first emerged as the armed extension of Putin’s foreign ambitions for the developing world, particularly to help secure areas in which Russia could prospectively exploit mineral rights and other commercial enterprises – regardless of the tactics required to achieve the goals. Prigozhin, a catering tycoon and Wagner's chief financier who spent time in prison in Russia’s immediate post-Soviet era, parlayed contracts to feed Russia’s troops into a security company of his own.
His mercenary front rose to the public’s attention by carrying out highly deniable paramilitary operations in far-flung regions of the world aligned with Russia’s foreign policy. Wagner’s presence in Mozambique, Libya, Central African Republic and Mali resembled a business conglomerate, trading natural resource access for private military services with a penchant for human rights abuses. That expeditionary mission began to change into more of a special operations force with ultimate deniability when Putin, finding difficulty masking the high Russian death toll during the Syrian civil war, employed them to prop up the regime of Bashar Assad during the civil war and simultaneously execute a multinational war against the Islamic State group.
C | 阿德巴约打出职业生涯最佳进攻赛季，维金斯三分命中率41.4%，但泰勒·希罗离队后，后卫线和半场空间存在隐患。即便如此，仅凭字母哥和巴姆的天赋，热火就足以杀进前十。
第6名：丹佛掘金
掘金是上赛季进攻效率第一（121.2），也是唯一投篮、三分、罚球命中率全部前五的球队。约基奇场均准三双，穆雷打出职业生涯最佳（三分43.5%），二人互相助攻次数分列联盟前二。虽然失去了部分替补深度（佩顿·沃特森可能离队），约基奇下场时球队净负7.7分，但只要约穆健康，他们仍是进攻最稳定的球队。
第5名：明尼苏达森林狼
爱德华兹上赛季场均28.8分（联盟第三），但一直缺乏顶级组织者为他减压。现在鲍尔来了——他的传球让队友有效命中率达到61.8%（联盟前三），而爱德华兹接球投三分命中率高达49.6%。两人联手，戈贝尔将轻松获得篮下吃饼机会。虽然送走了兰德尔和里德，损失了部分半场单打火力，但鲍尔的创造力足以让森林狼进攻脱胎换骨。
第4名：俄克拉荷马雷霆
SGA依然是联盟最致命的挡拆持球人（每回合1.18分），上赛季进攻效率117.6，他在场时飙升至119.7。杰威因伤只打了33场，健康归来等于多了一个持球点，霍姆格伦的全能属性也让阵容更灵活。
D | 然而，多尔特、以赛亚·乔和维金斯三大轮换离队，深度受损，更多进攻重担将压在SGA、威廉姆斯和霍姆格伦肩上。

第3名：圣安东尼奥马刺
马刺上赛季进攻效率118.7（联盟第三），赢下62胜，且今夏保留了94%的上场时间（联盟最高）。文班亚马场均25分，福克斯稳定输出，卡斯尔从新秀赛季的每36分钟5.5次助攻飙升至8.9次，他与文班的连线效率极高。新秀哈珀在总决赛场均18分，托拜厄斯·哈里斯提供空间，这支青年军还在持续进化。如果卡斯尔投篮再进一步，马刺完全有潜力成为西部进攻最强队。
第2名：纽约尼克斯
卫冕冠军保留了布伦森、唐斯、阿努诺比、布里奇斯和哈特的核心班底，进攻效率118.7（联盟第四），季后赛更是唯一一支比常规赛得分更高的球队。他们的进攻体系成熟，每个人各司其职，安全垫极高。但上限可能不如前五——布伦森和唐斯已接近巅峰，不太可能再大幅跃升，不过这种稳定本身就是一种恐怖。

第1名：费城76人
四名上赛季场均20+的球员同队，外加一个16分的新秀，这已经超出了正常篮球的范畴。布朗、马克西、恩比德都是单打高手，而勒布朗的加入并非为了得分，而是扮演指挥官——为恩比德喂球、找到无球跑动的布朗、让马克西自由穿梭。此外，替补席还有安芬尼·西蒙斯（三分38.5%）。尽管上赛季76人进攻效率仅排第16，但勒布朗的组织能力有望将一堆“低质量出手”转化为轻松得分。
