About this listen

This is the first part of the story of the man behind the Wagner private military group, also known as Putin's chef, Yevgeniy Prigozhin. It covers his youth in prison, successful restaurant businesses, and subsequent huge government contracts in catering, which made him a billionaire. We will also discuss his infamous troll farm and media empire, which was highly effective in pumping out Russian propaganda and disinformation in Russia and abroad. Finally, we will talk about Prigozhin's alleged obsession with cruelty and violence, as well as his role as Putin's personal thug in dealing with Russian government critics.

Stay tuned and follow this podcast for part 2 on his involvement with Wagner group, political ambitions, and unsuccessful military coup!
