The recent death of Yevgeny Prigozhin, former head of Russian mercenary group Wagner, is seen as another example of Russia's long history of settling scores through violent means.

Yevgeny Prigozhin, a Russian warlord who was reportedly killed in a plane crash, had Jewish ancestry.

Russian entrepreneur and mercenary leader Yevgeny Prigozhin attempted to overthrow the Russian political order and oust his political enemies in the Russian Defense Ministry.
