Jevgenij Prigožin
Jevgenij Prigožin was a Russian oligarch and businessman known for founding the Wagner Group, a private paramilitary organization that became infamous for its operations in various conflict zones, including Ukraine, the Middle East, and Africa. Born on June 1, 1961, Prigožin gained significant influence and wealth through his catering business, which earned him the nickname 'Putin's Chef' due to his close ties with the Kremlin. The Wagner Group, established in 2014, played a crucial role in supporting pro-Russian separatists in Ukraine and was involved in numerous military operations worldwide. His activities have drawn international scrutiny, leading to sanctions and accusations of involvement in war crimes, particularly in relation to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine.
