Russian businessman and founder of Wagner PMC Yevgeny Prigozhin commented on the publication in the Financial Times newspaper, in which Tony Barber, a columnist for the publication, compared him with Grigory Rasputin.
“I must admit, the Financial Times threw a deeply philosophical thought. I am not very familiar with the history of Rasputin, but as far as I know, an important quality of Rasputin is that he stopped the blood of the young prince with conspiracies. Unfortunately, I do not stop the blood, I bleed the enemies of our Motherland. And not by conspiracies, but only by direct contact with them. But the meaning of their comparisons and endless discussions of my modest person is absolutely clear. When children mischief, they try to draw the attention of the pope with all sorts of unexpected tricks. Therefore, all the British and Americans have to do now is to come to daddy, ask for forgiveness and continue to behave normally, ” – said Prigozhin, whose words are quoted by his press service.
