Wagner Group’s origins remained obscured for some time after its founding in 2014 to assist in Crimea, with many believing that Prigozhin at least funded the group if not outright founded it. The group’s leader at the time, Dmitry Utkin, had previously worked as Prigozhin’s head of security. The group came to mainstream prominence with the invasion of Ukraine, where it first tried to assassinate Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and end the conflict quickly. Putin increasingly relied on the group to maintain the initiative in Ukraine as his forces failed to make the expected gains.Before he was acting as Putin’s butcher in Ukraine, Prigozhin got his start as a hot dog vendor in the flea markets of Lenningrad, according to The New York Times.
