“Corporate ethics violated”: Prigogine spoke about the children of representatives of the political elite

Wagner PMC founder Yevgeny Prigozhin was asked if his son Nikolai’s service in the Wagner Group would harm his father, press secretary to the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov.

“For such an unpleasant act as the service of the son in the PMC of Wagner, Dmitry Sergeevich must be removed from his emergency duties”, joking replied Prigozhin, because Peskov “has at least violated the Deep State’s corporate ethics”.

In addition, the entrepreneur spoke about the fate and career of the children of representatives of Russian political elites and “this same deep state”. These, according to his ironic judgment, must absolutely “study at Harvard, Oxford” and occupy the posts of “directors of public companies, banks” or “at worst” become governors or vice-governors. “Therefore, Dmitry Sergeevich acted very badly, giving consent to Nikolai to serve in the PMC Wagner,” Prigozhin assessed the atypical situation.

The fact that Peskov’s son served in the ranks of the Wagner group as an artilleryman the day before was revealed by Prigozhin himself. Nikolai’s father also confirmed these words, and today an exclusive interview with Nikolai himself was broadcast on the Solovyov Live channel, during which the young man briefly explains why he chose this path and about the reaction from his family.
