I can't believe this is even a serious question.

I think it's pretty clear. The car is gone, they didn't find a body.


The car didn't steal itself - that's for sure.

Whether he died later of his wounds is another question. But, I have no doubts the Russian escaped the immediate area. Since it was a clear homage to the Rasputin story, it may be implied that he died later, but unnecessary to resolve that for the overall story.

He beat them, period.

Well there's also some old truck out in the woods. A chance some local yahoos took it over the course of 18 hours sitting there with the keys in it.

I think it's clear, but the thing about Rasputin is, they did finally kill him

More than the immediate area. You'd think they'd have heard something about a crashed caddy with a Russian wearing pajamas with a gun shot wound.

What if he shows up to the hospital in Paulie's car. You don't think they're going to run the plates

From a storytelling standpoint, they didn't look all that hard for him or the car, apparently. He probably got away for the moment, found a street doc and perhaps died. The fact there was no blowback from the Russian mob suggests he didn't live long enough to give the details to anyone of significance.

or maybe he had head trauma

or he just kept his mouth shut because he's a weird fricking guy or because he didn't want to hurt his friend/boss's business because he knew that guy would go to war over it.


they'd eventually find paulie's car with either his body or his blood in it

That episode had some of the greatest Paulie quotes of all time.

Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: Probably wiped your arse bare handed before you came to this country.



Christopher Moltisanti: For all we know, he could be out there stalking us.

Paulie 'Walnuts' Gualtieri: With what? His cock?

Meh - Russian mob might have just junked. They find a car with their guy's blood all over it - he was a weirdo, so they might have put 2 and 2 together ("He jacked one of the Soprano's capos!") and maybe thought it wasn't worth dealing with. Junk the car and be done.

Storytelling is better when it is left ambiguous like this. We don't need to know - still the best single episode in all of The Sopranos.

Don't get me wrong. This detail wasn't important and leaving it unresolved is great. I like for my imagination to fill in some of the details.

More than likely the cops would get their hands on the car before the Russian mob. Paulie would be at least questioned.

I think the safest assumption is that he lived, took the car, disposed of it and just kept his mouth shut or got the frick out of town altogether

Why would he kill tony? Wouldn't his beef be with Paulie? Maybe even SDante

Also, he went out barefoot in his pajamas to jack paulie? I don't think that scenario is plausible. Plus they knew he was into sil for 5K

I mean if he dies (or lapses into a coma) before they can talk to him - they have no idea what went down other than their guy is shot in the head, with Paulie's car. None of the inferences I can draw from that are good.

Is this guy and his $5k worth going to war for? Russians are more pragmatic than the Italians (at least than the Italians were) and Irish were - more heavily influenced by their Slavic and Jewish practicalities than hot-tempered Latin or Celtic culture.

The real lesson of the series is that it's bad luck to owe money to Silvio Dante

Tracy...what a klutz
