==Life==
Prigozhin spent 9 years in the Soviet penal system in the 1980s, and upon collapse of the Soviet Union and his release became an entrepreneurial hot dog vendor on the streets of St. Petersburg formerly Leningrad. His success in capitalism led him to begin a catering service and open restaurants. Vladimir Putin, a native of St. Petersburg, frequented one of his restaurants and the two became acquainted. After Putin became president of the Russian Federation, under the new capitalist system the contract to provide food for the Russian Army was privatized and offered to Prigozhin.
