Yevgeny Prigozhin, the founder and head of the Wagner mercenary army, used to own the cafe that exploded in St. Petersburg and killed Russian military blogger Vladen Tatarsky on Sunday.

Specifically, when Prigozhin was asked to confirm whether he was the owner of the cafe, he did not deny it, in comments published today by Concord’s holding company.

“In fact, I gave the coffee to the patriotic movement Cyber ​​Front Z and they held various seminars there”Prigozhin said.

Independent Russian news agency Fontanka reports that the cafe belongs to Prigozhin, based on the ownership of the Concord company listed on the coffee receipt. Prigozhin is the founder and sole owner of the Concord company.

In the same post, Prigozhin also comments on who might be behind the explosion.

“I don’t know the details of the incident now, I was only informed that, unfortunately, Vladlen Tatarsky died. I don’t know about the rest of the details,” he commented and added:

“Most likely, this tragedy happened at the seminary. As for the death of Daria Dugin, yes, everything is similar,” he said, referring to the death of the daughter of the ultra-nationalist philosopher Alexander Dugin, who was killed in a car bomb on the outskirts of Moscow last year.

“But I would not blame the Kiev regime for these actions. I think there is a group of radicals who have almost nothing to do with the government. That’s what I would call her,” Prigozhin said.
