In a recent interview, Yevgeny Prigozhin called on the Russian elite send your children to war, and then bury them – only in this way, they say, can the just anger of the people be avoided. At the same time, “Putin’s cook” proposed introducing martial law, stop infrastructure projectsand instead make ammunition.

Gazprom with its skyscrapers received special attention: “We must stop building glass towers of skyscrapers, like Gazprom is sculpting, damn it, it’s just embarrassing to watch“, Prigozhin said.

True, his son Pavel is unlikely to agree with this call: he makes money from Gazprom’s high-rise buildings. Prigozhin Jr. owns the Lakhta Plaza company, as can be seen from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities. The company sells luxury apartments in the residential complex of the same name – exactly opposite the glass tower of Lakhta Center in St. Petersburg. The website says that these apartments are “an ideal place for successful people who value their time,” emphasizing the proximity to the Gazprom high-rise building.

In 2020, when the active sale of apartments in the recently commissioned residential complex was underway, Lakhta Plaza received almost a billion rubles in revenue, and Prigozhin Jr. earned more than 100 million in net profit ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠ ¯
