While owner of \u00abWagner\u00bb PMC enjoys media popularity, his mercenaries are commanded by people with far less media visibility. The Center for Journalist Investigations will uncover secrets of some Wagner commanders. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Nameless \u00abWagner\u00bb members attack Bahmut endlessly; thousands of them die in forests around the city whereas Yevgeniy Prigozhin, its owner and \u00abPutin\u2019s cook\u00bb, regularly makes public speeches in Russian propaganda media. Earlier he has been persona incognita. The situation has drastically changed during last year. <\/span><\/p>\n

Prigozhin regularly visits Russian prisons and speaks in front of prisoners. He openly conflicts with Russian generals and governors including \u00abheroes of Novorussia\u00bb.

Prigozhin does not hide his political ambition to become \u00abthe savior of motherland\u00bb.<\/p>\n
