Yevgeny Prigozhin, top, serves food to then-Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin at Prigozhin’s restaurant outside Moscow in 2011.Ever since Prigozhin marched an army of disgruntled mercenaries on Moscow, Kremlin watchers had been wondering why on earth Putin had allowed his former caterer to remain alive, let alone a free man.
He talked himself out of a challenge, but it turns out a deal to go into exile in Belarus was too good to be true. “This is about regime security for Vladimir Putin. You cannot allow a guy you called a traitor in late June, when he launched a mutiny, to live. That’s just not going to happen. And Prigozhin, whose formative experience was as a hot dog salesman, probably had an inflated opinion of his staying power.”Prigozhin’s death will have a negligible effect on the front lines in Ukraine but its impact on African countries, where Wagner was and remained active, is more uncertain.
