Yevgeny Prigozhin, who was confirmed dead on Sunday by Russia's Investigatice Committee after a plane crash near Moscow, was a Kremlin confident catapulted to infamy by the offensive in Ukraine before he turned his troops on Russia's capital. Prigozhin's order in June that his private fighting group march on Moscow to unseat Russia's top brass presented the most serious challenge to President Vladimir Putin's hold on power over more than two-decades. His forces captured a key military headquarters in the city of Rostov-on-Don in southern Russian before setting their course for Moscow, where authorities beefed up security in anticipation of a showdown. «The evil that the military leadership of the country brings must be stopped,» Prigozhin announced after claiming the defence ministry had launched strikes on Wagner bases.

Before Putin, who accused Prigozhin of treason, ordered troops to Ukraine in February last year, the 62-year-old mercenary head dispatched fighters from his private force to conflicts in the Middle East and Africa but always denied involvement. That changed last year when he announced himself as the founder of the Wagner group and began a mass recruitment drive at Russia's prisons for foot soldiers to fight in exchange for an amnesty. — Bitter top brass rivalry — He gained public acclaim as Wagner spearheaded the capture of several key Ukrainian towns including Bakhmut.
