For several months, the leader of the Wagner militia, Evguéni Prigojine, has been maintaining his image as a rebel and stepping up his provocations against the Russian military hierarchy. Portrait of a convict, also known by the nickname of Vladimir Putin “Cook”.

The bloodthirsty gang leader Evguéni Prigojine is first and foremost a convict. In the 1990s he was sentenced to nine years in prison for fraud. He then made his fortune in gastronomy. In 2001 he met Vladimir Putin at his office in Saint Petersburg (Russia) and then followed him to Moscow (Russia). He was then given the nickname “Cook” of the President. In the shadow of the Kremlin, he performed the basest deeds of the head of state. But he will never belong to Vladimir Putin’s first circle.

He staged himself in front of the corpses of his mercenaries

Evguéni Prigojine then emerged from the shadows and assumed leadership of the Wagner militia. While his men were fighting in the Battle of Bachmout (Ukraine), he posed several times in front of the corpses of his mercenaries. He accused the defense minister and the Kremlin’s chief of staff of depriving his paramilitary militia of ammunition. For several months, Yevgeny Prigoyine has been cultivating his rebel image and trying to overthrow the Russian military hierarchy. On Friday, June 23, he did it again in a propaganda video, on the eve of his Wagner group’s uprising.
