Pro-Putin sicko who waved dead Ukrainian's skull on-stage 'shot in head'

DAILY STAR

A  pro-Putin propagandist who waved the skull of a ‘dead Ukrainian’ on stage was shot in the head in an apparent revenge attack for his actions.

Igor Mangushev, 35, is gravely ill in hospital with head wounds after the “attempted murder” on Russian-held territory, according to his wife.

In August, Mangushev was reportedly recorded on stage waving the skull of an Azov Battalion fighter. In the clip he says: “We’re alive and this guy is already dead.

“Let him burn in hell. He wasn’t lucky. We’ll make a goblet out of his skull.”

The shooting of Mangushev is considered a warning to his “associate” Yevgeny Prigozhin, head of the Wagner private army and one of Vladimir Putin’s closest allies.
