Sergei Shoigu
Wagner owner Yevgeny Prigozhin absolute loathes Shoigu. Since the beginning of the war, he’s been criticizing Shoigu, called for his son-in-law to be drafted, and lately blamed Shoigu for not delivering enough ammunition to Wagner fighters around Bakhmut.
As is tradition in Putin’s inner circle, Shoigu is living a lavish life in his $18 million mansion in Barvikha, registed in the name of his family members. Shoigu’s declared annual family income at the time of purchase was $1.33 million, and his wife bought a luxury apartment in Moscow’s Sparrow Hills district the same year…


Shoigu’s youngest daughter, Ksenia, who also officially owns the aforementioned mansion, is married to sports blogger Alexei Stolyarov. Recently, Stolyarov visited Luhansk for a PR trip to support Russia’s failing “special operation” in Ukraine.
