About this listen
This is the second part on Yevgeniy Prigozhin covering his private military company, the Wagner Group. I discuss the origins of the group, their operations across the Middle East, Africa, and Ukraine, as well as their notorious brutality. I also talk about Prigozhin's political ambitions and his escalating conflict with the Russian Ministry of Defence, which resulted in his failed attempt to stage a military coup in Russia in June 2023. Exactly two months later, Prigozhin died in a plane crash, which was widely interpreted as a public execution ordered by Russia's president, Vladimir Putin.
Follow Post-Soviet Chronicles and don't forget to listen to Part 1 on Prigozhin's youth, huge contracts with the Russian state, media empire including his infamous troll farm, and his role as Putin's personal thug!
