“From all my acquaintances, one person – Dmitry Peskov, who once became a complete liberal – his son, who lived part of his life in America, I think, if I’m not mistaken, or in England… came and said: “Take him as a simple artilleryman.” By the way, he worked completely normally. An ordinary artilleryman, up to his knees in mud, dung. Few people know that,” Prigozhin said. He did not specify the son’s name.
Peskov’s eldest son Nikolai Chowles, who lived in Britain for ten years, returned to Russia in 2011-2012.
In September 2022, Dmitry Nizovtsev, the head of the “Popular Politics” program created by Alexei Navalny’s supporters, called Peskov’s son live and announced that a summons had been sent to him and that he must now appear at the military commissariat.
“You have to understand, if you know that I’m Mr. Peskov, how it’s not really right for me to be there. In short, I will handle it on another level,” Peskov’s son replied at the time. He announced that he was not going to come to the military commissariat.
Also, Peskov Jr. stated in this conversation that he does not need to be marked in the documents as a volunteer, he will act as Vladimir Vladimirovich tells him.
