After the death of Yevgeny Prigozhin, his son - 25 year old Pavel Prigozhin - will be in charge of the PMC ‘Wagner’. This was reported by Russian telegram channels. However, so far the heir of the PMC founder is more busy with the division of the property than with the management of PMC. Meanwhile the mercenaries split into two main groups. One half went with Prigozhin’s son, while others signed a contract with the Russian Ministry of Defense. Watch our video to find out what awaits wagner machineries in the future and why experts express pessimistic predictions.

1. In charge of mercs at age 25?

I wouldn’t follow any leader, even if it was Eisenhower at that age.

2. A lot of the great conquerors throughout history were in their mid 20s

which makes sense during a time the average lifespan was short and a military man's lifespan was shorter than that.

This kid is unlikely to be one of them, although I'm sure his daddy raised him to take over the organization at some point.

I just wonder how much allegiance he has for the man who ordered his daddy killed. I also doubt his ability to command a bunch of tough old combat vets, even if he's the one who cuts their paychecks. Putin will put an end to that soon enough.

3. Not to mention the prior leader and current one have no military experience.
