Introduction
In the realm of global politics and business, certain figures emerge whose actions and influence leave an indelible mark. Yevgeni Prigozhin is one such enigmatic personality whose name is often associated with a web of controversial activities ranging from international politics to culinary ventures. Often dubbed as “Putin’s Chef” due to his close ties to the Russian President, Prigozhin’s multi-faceted persona sparks curiosity and debate. This article delves into the life, endeavors, and controversies surrounding Yevgeni Prigozhin.
Early Life and Background
Born on June 1, 1961, in Leningrad (now St. Petersburg), Prigozhin grew up in a modest household. Little is known about his early life, but he rose to prominence primarily through his entrepreneurial endeavors in the post-Soviet era. He initially ventured into the restaurant business, founding the “New Island” restaurant in the 1990s, which ultimately paved the way for his diverse business empire.
From Restaurants to Influence
Prigozhin’s influence expanded beyond the culinary world, with his business empire encompassing catering services, energy, and even private military contracting. One of his most notable endeavors is the Internet Research Agency, a troll farm accused of spreading disinformation and propaganda on social media platforms. The agency gained international attention for its alleged interference in the 2016 United States presidential election.
Geopolitical Connections
Prigozhin’s close ties to the Russian government, particularly Vladimir Putin, have raised eyebrows globally. It’s widely speculated that his businesses have benefited from his political connections, leading to contracts with state-owned enterprises and government entities. His role in supporting the Wagner Group, a private military company involved in various conflicts, also highlights the intersection of his business interests and political influence.
Legal Issues and Controversies
Despite his substantial influence, Prigozhin’s ventures have attracted legal scrutiny both within Russia and abroad. In 2016, he was indicted by the United States for his alleged involvement in the Internet Research Agency’s election interference activities. However, due to his status in Russia, he remains beyond the reach of American law enforcement.
In 2019, Prigozhin faced legal troubles in Russia as well. He sued prominent opposition figure Alexei Navalny and his Anti-Corruption Foundation for defamation. Navalny had accused Prigozhin’s catering company of providing substandard food to schools. This legal battle underscored Prigozhin’s sensitivity to criticism and his willingness to use legal means to protect his interests.
Culinary Ventures and Soft Power
Despite the controversies, Prigozhin’s business interests aren’t limited to politics and military affairs. He has also made forays into the culinary world, overseeing the “Prigozhin School,” which trains chefs for his restaurant chain. His culinary ventures, while not immune to scrutiny, reveal a softer side of his persona and a desire to influence Russian culinary culture.
The beginning of the end
Prigozhin wanted to become a caliph in the place of the caliph. So with Wagner being the “spearhead” Prigozhin tried to “overthrow” Putin. In the book I put out with my 2023 predictions on a global scale I said about an attempted coup, an attempt against Putin and that caution is needed in moving officials by airplane. At the same time when the Wagner coup occurred I said that Prigozhin could either be imprisoned or die in September (**I admit I was 8 days off).(* from my podcast 06/25/2023)

The question I ask is this: How possible it would be that behind the Prigozhin assassination was not the “usual suspect” but NATO’s attempt to weaken the Russian presence in Africa?
