Dear reader,
Welcome to The Moscow Times' weekly email digest, where we bring you the best of our reporting, opinion pieces and photo galleries every week.
It's been a dramatic week of news from Russia. Here are the top stories:
- The head of the Wagner Group Yevgeny Prigozhin was apparently killed in a plane crash north-west of Moscow.
- Rumors quickly swirled that President Vladimir Putin may have been somehow involved in the crash, which the Kremlin dismissed as "absolute lies."
- Putin himself called the incident a "tragedy" and sent his condolences to the victims' families in a televised address.
- Makeshift memorials to Prigozhin appeared outside Wagner's headquarters in St. Petersburg, as well as in other Russian cities.
- A Moscow court extended the pre-trial detention of the Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich by three months.
