Prigozhin's Violent Mutiny: A Mad Explanation

Yevgeny Prigozhin, a close ally of Vladimir Putin and leader of the Wagner mercenary group, claimed that he "went crazy" as an explanation for his violent mutiny against the Russian military. The mutiny has raised questions about whether it was a lone act or had support from Putin's inner circle. Former employees described Prigozhin as prone to violent outbursts and cruelty towards subordinates. The report also revealed Prigozhin's fear of contracting COVID and a framed photo of decapitated heads found in his home. Anecdotes suggest that Putin had a close relationship with Prigozhin dating back to the late 1990s.
