Yevgeny Prigozhin children and other family members likely have serious concerns about their safety.
This is because their father holds a prominent position as the head of a powerful military group. Ensuring their safety must be his top priority.
However, the identities of the children of the head of the Wagner Group, Yevgeny Prigozhin, are unknown.
Who Is Yevgeny Prigozhin?
Yevgeny Viktorovich Prigozhin, a Russian businessman and mercenary commander, was born in Saint Petersburg, Russia, on June 1, 1961. At present, he is 62 years old.
Up until June 2023, Prigozhin maintained a close friendship with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Prigozhin’s ownership of eateries and catering businesses that serve the Kremlin earned him the nickname “Putin’s chef.”
During his school years, Prigozhin nurtured ambitions of pursuing a career in cross-country skiing.
Under the guidance of his stepfather and sports instructor, Samuil Zharkoy, he received training and graduated from a prestigious boarding school for athletes in 1977.
Prigozhin and his accomplices received charges and convictions for robbing luxury apartment buildings.
In 1988, authorities granted him a pardon, resulting in his release in 1990 after serving a nine-year prison sentence.
After regaining his freedom, Prigozhin, together with his mother and stepfather, ventured into selling hot dogs at the Apraksin Dvor outdoor market in Leningrad.
Seizing the entrepreneurial opportunities that arose after the collapse of the Soviet Union, Prigozhin engaged in various new ventures.
Between 1991 and 1997, he actively participated in the grocery store industry.
During this period, Prigozhin’s former classmate Boris Spektor hired him as the manager and a 15% shareholder of the first grocery shop chain in Saint Petersburg.
