People in the comments are calling bullshit on it, so probably worth waiting and seeing until we learn more.

Also today in the news, pictures have started leaking from when the FSB raided Prigozhin's house and he apparently had a framed picture of a pile of severed heads(thankfully blurred in the linked photos). What sort of insane supervillain poo poo is that?

he's an extremely poo poo source on a fact level, but also quite prominent so whatever narrative he's pushing usually gets a lot of views

The SIOP also just kind of... ended a couple hours after Go Time. It was literally just a plan to launch everything, once that was done the aftermath was someone else's problem.

Never forget that Prigozhin is still an absolute ogre; just because he ended up turning against Putin doesn't make him any less monstrous. He's still a Very Bad Person and also looks like a giant scrotum.

He's a big fan of the Nazis, and well, this was pre-Nazi, but:

https://exhibits.lib.ku.edu/exhibits/show/genocideinafrica/hererogenocide

quote:

The German military decapitated heads of Herero and Nama people and forced Herero women to boil the heads and then scrape off the flesh. Those skulls were taken to German museums for display and were placed in medical laboratories for anthropometric studies.

IIRC there are photos somewhere of German soldiers posing, smiling, beside piles of severed heads.

This is all completely true, but that particular example is one of the more recent in history, and the one that most comes to mind for a dude with such a major fetish for atrocities committed by German soldiers that he named his mercenary company after Hitler's favourite composer.

Like it could actually be a copy of one of the photographs I mentioned that's hanging in Prigozhin's house.

The best critique of SIOP I ever read was a brief story of "what if the Cuban Missile Crisis went hot?" SIOP was in effect at the time, and thanks to the Soviets getting a lucky shot off on DC, there was no one to say "uh maybe not".

I won't spoil the rest of it. It's painfully good and you won't forget it quickly.

Most likely it is a photo from Syria, since his boys were very much into decapitations and sledgehammers
