The publication Proekt has compiled a “criminal and psychological portrait” of Wagner Group founder Yevgeny Prigozhin, having interviewed, according to the authors, a dozen of his acquaintances and employees.
Proekt’s sources said that they tend to put Prigozhin’s mutiny down to his impulsive nature. According to a source from his inner circle, Prigozhin explained the incident to his subordinates, saying, “I went crazy.”
As independent publication Agenstvo notes, propagandist Margarita Simonyan came to a similar conclusion not long after the rebellion took place. Talking about Prigozhin’s version of the mutiny, she said that he could have “just gone crazy.”
