He would go from prison to prison, right?

This is a couple years.

This is like, I don't know, four years ago now.

He was going from prison to prison.

with the blessing of the Russian government and saying, listen, your sentence is over if you go to the front lines.

If you make it through the deployment, you're free, right?

And so he was going and recruiting from prison to prison and building up this mercenary group

bringing them to the front lines and i mean they were these weren't professional soldiers right so like all kinds of horrible things were happening but also like the russian government stopped supplying them with ammunition and basic supplies they were kind of on their own just and progojan got so mad that he's like he got them all he basically rallied his troops who were who were on the front lines of ukraine

And marched and was heading back towards Moscow and was going to march on Moscow.

And he was so angry that they left him high and dry with ammunition.

And this was a big deal.

I mean, there's only a news story for like a couple of days.

Yeah.

But they ended up, you know, kind of negotiating.

And so they stopped the march.

And a couple of days later, Progozhin got on a helicopter to go to a business meeting.

And there was a mysterious mechanical malfunction.

Yeah, a mysterious mechanical malfunction.

That's crazy.

And that's where, yeah, Progojan's story ends.
