Yevgeny Prigozhin is a man who many had not heard of, until one weekend in June, when he led an army to Moscow.
The target of his wrath. Russia’s leader. Vladimir Putin.
Prigozhin, who was once known as Putin’s Chef, had a decades-long association with the leader.

Produced by Stefan Mitchell & Nicholas Gane.
