Prognostication
Lindsay Foyle
Life imitates art with Lindsay Foyle’s prescient cartoon about the ‘unexpected death of Yevgeny Prigozhin, next month’. Foyle predicts Russian President Vladimir Putin’s revenge against the Russian warlord and commander of the Wagner group who had orchestrated what appeared to be an attempted coup. Putin publicly pardoned Prigozhin. However, Prigozhin did indeed die in mysterious circumstances just over a month after Foyle’s cartoon was published.
