Moscow: Russian political analyst Valery Solovy argues that the head of the Wagner Group, Yevgeny Prigoshin, was not killed. Prigozhin lives on the Caribbean island of Margarita. Russian President Vladimir Putin’s health is declining. Prigoshin is likely to return following his death. In an interview with a British media outlet, Solovyi said that Prigosh had already received information regarding the plane crash and had avoided the trip. Solovi said in the interview that the plane crash was a plan prepared by Putin and the Secretary of the Russian Security Council.


The head of the mercenary army that turns Putin from a mere thief; Who is Prigoshin?

Prigoshin rose from a mere thief to become the head of a mercenary army that makes Putin tremble. His death, like his life, became shrouded in mystery. Prigosh was also born in St. Petersburg, the same city as Vladimir Putin. He committed crimes like beating, stealing and hooliganism in his childhood. He was imprisoned in 1979 at the age of eighteen. He was arrested for robbery even following he got out of prison. Prigoshin was released following another nine years of imprisonment and became a new man.

A shop selling burgers started. Business picked up slowly. By 1990, he had opened his own restaurant in the heart of St. Petersburg. It was during this time that Vladimir Putin became close. The growth was at an eye-catching pace. By the time Putin became president of Russia in 2000, Prigoshin had become his right-hand man. Prigosh was also derided as ‘Putin’s cook’ for his loyalty to Putin. Prigosh replied that it was pride. Putin awarded Prigosh all the important food supply contracts in the Kremlin. Prigosh’s hotel catered for everything from heads of state to military schools. Prigosh was kept by Putin to maintain power and efficiency. In 2014, Putin created a mercenary group called the Wagner Group to help the Russian military seize part of Ukraine. Prigosh was entrusted with the task of organizing it. The atrocities committed by those mercenaries in different parts of the world cannot be counted.

It was Prigoshin who planned the murder of three Russian journalists. Even the fact that Prigozhin was the organizer of the Wagner group was a secret that was not known to the outside world until 2022. The rift between Putin and Prigoshin came to light earlier this year. Finally, it was now a head-to-head battle. On June 23, Belarus intervened and ended the rebellion started by Prigosh’s mercenaries once morest Vladimir Putin. Russia has since confirmed that Putin and Prigosh met in person. During that meeting, Putin asked Prigosh to serve as part of the Russian army. Putin also clarified that the Wagner mercenary force will no longer operate. But Vladimir Putin himself later told the media that Prigoshin had rejected his offer. Prigosh replied that his soldiers would not like to join the Russian army. At the same time, some world media wrote that Prigosh, who answered Putin like that, did not have much longer to live.
