Yevgeny Prigozhin, founder of Russia's mercenary force Wagner Group, reportedly died in a plane crash two months after leading an unsuccessful coup against Russian President Vladimir Putin. He gained prominence following Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Once dubbed Putin's "personal chef," Prigozhin was a low-profile businessman benefiting from his closeness to the former.
