Yevgeny Prigozhin was a Russian oligarch, best known as the leader of the Wagner Group, a Russian mercenary outfit. In June 2023, he led a group of Wagner troops in an armed action, taking the Russian city of Rostov-on-Don but stopping short of moving on Moscow. Two months later Prighozin died in suspicious circumstances when his private plane crashed between Moscow and St. Petersburg.
