Yevgeny Prigozhin's biography provides us a clue for understanding what this theater is all about. I don't believe any of it. Prigozhin is a prop and doesn't have any previous credentials in the military, but founded Wagner in only 2022. Right away this suggests he is nothing more than public Scammer. But there's more. The following will paint the picture to who Prigozhin really is. I believe the Putin government have Prigozhin by the balls. The script Prigozhin has been using is theater that Ukraine has foolishly responded to in the past. This newest drama may be more of this. Will Ukraine respond to the diatribe Prigozhin has publicly stated? It appears Ukraine is indeed responding to it by foolishly trying to retake Bahkmut.
Prigozhin background is one of an incredibly shady character, who** formerly did prison time**.
After his release from prison in 1990, Prigozhin began selling hot dogs alongside his mother and stepfather in the Aprashaka flea market of Leningrad. From 1991 to 1997, Prigozhin was heavily involved in the grocery store business. Around the same time, Prigozhin became involved in the gambling business. In 1995, Prigozhin entered the restaurant business. Prigozhin personally served food to Vladimir Putin and French president Jacques Chirac when they dined at New Island. In 2012, he received a contract to supply meals to the Russian military worth US$1.2 billion over one year. Some of the profits from this contract are alleged to have been used to start and fund the Internet Research Agency. By this point he owned a private jet and a 115-foot yacht. Prigozhin has been linked to several aircraft since, including two Cessna 182s as well as Embraer Legacy 600, British Aerospace 125 and Hawker 800XP jets. The Anti-Corruption Foundation has accused Prigozhin of corrupt business practices. In 2017, they estimated his illegal wealth to be worth more than one billion rubles. Prigozhin is the self-reported founder of the controversial Kremlin-affiliated private military contractor Wagner Group. On 26 September 2022, Prigozhin stated that he founded the Wagner Group specifically to support Russian forces in the war in Donbas, in May 2014.
